Mar 8 05 Updated AMD roadmap. Noticed this this little bit

2005 first half
Athlon 64 FX
(San Diego)
90nm, SOI.

And here the 4200+ is more than rumor

Good find, Blue. There's also an Inquirer story about the 4200+. It has a link to an XS thread, which is why that forum has gotten enormous traffic over the past few days.

hmm, odd . .try turning the monitor powersave on and see if it changes the behavior.

New personal best in Pifast using VX. These sticks are definitely faster than my BH-5. The key is bank interleaving. With interleaving turned off, the VX is only marginally faster. But with bank interleaving enabled, there's about a two-tenths of a second difference in SuperPi.

Sierra_abx · 03-08-2005, 12:36 PM

Pifast and the new version of SuperPi are both good tools for seeing how timing changes affect speed. I have the VX running at 3.5v instead of 3.6v. System stability is a little better.

sierra i just got the dfi dr how do you find the vx memory i am using crucial pc4000 and no mater what i do i cant shift it of cas 2 so i am only good for 225 o/c does the ocz3200vx work better it is some what annoying, if i go 2.5 it wont post fx-53 any ideas? anyone. tryed every thing i know and no go haft to use the multi to get anywhere

Sierra_abx · 03-08-2005, 05:11 PM

VX is pretty good. I would get the PC3200 version. The PC4000 VX is very expensive and the early results have been a little disappointing. VX needs at least 3.2-3.3v to do well. 3.4-3.5v is better. The memory is rated at 2-3-3-8 at DDR400. But you can tighten the timings to 2-2-2-5 with higher voltage.

What is your Crucial rated at? A lot of RAM with high DDR ratings can't run at Cas 2 when overclocked.

maxxshwagg · 03-08-2005, 07:53 PM

sh-t, i think i just killed my fx-55. bummer, forgot to change the multiplier from 12x to 11x so it booted at 3100. didn't think that that could kill a proc, thought it just wouldn't boot. now i get freakin' nothing....bummer.

i'm gonna try to fire it up in my neo2 to double check...but it don't look good as of now..how is amd's rma policy?

Blue078 · 03-08-2005, 08:08 PM

You probly just locked the board or something. Never heard of something like that killing a chip.

Pull the 20 and the 4 pin molex's from the board and clear CMOS for about 5 mins, maybe even pull the boards battery at the same time.

maxxshwagg · 03-08-2005, 08:25 PM

my neither, the board fires up but it won't post. i am going to unplug everything and see if i can get it to post....i'll be back..

maxxshwagg · 03-08-2005, 09:10 PM

removed the second 6800 ultra and let it sit. i am up and running again. i am also having a tccd problem with my gskill. can't get it over 240 at spd. running super pi at 243 right now 2.5 4 4 8. crappy timings.

i am using the 209 bios, has anyone used any newer ones with any luck...

max

Sierra_abx · 03-08-2005, 09:29 PM

217 & 218 are good. I'm using 217. I think Blue and xgman are using 218 and they both have TCCD memory. Both BIOS files can be found in the first post of this thread.

Blue078 · 03-08-2005, 09:51 PM

Blue078 is still useing 0209 because it works best for him

Here is a screenie of the setting that are working best for my Plat rev2's.
Plus I have found on my indidual board leaveing ht set to Auto helps stability when I have the Plat rev2 installed. Doesnt seem to matter with Hynix or Micron ?? Dont aske me it just works for me

Blue078 · 03-08-2005, 09:59 PM

And yes some will comment i have sucky bandwidth for 285....but being a gamer I'll trade CPU speed for membandwidth any day of the week.

HiJon89 · 03-08-2005, 10:00 PM

Depending on the CPU speed that could be excellent bandwidth for 285.
