new commando mobo

[pants marshall]

hi there i dont post much as i dont really do benching much these days.

so i got a commando mobo, have done the v-core mod and the droop as always,

anyway surprised to see that the commando hasnt got a lower divider from the 1:1.

played a little last night after setting it all up and got a 3.9ghz clock with my 2.4 conroe, limited by my ram, otherwise i would of defo got to 4ghz with it, but still its better than the 3.5ghz that i could achieve in the P5W DH

pikkie linkage

good old thickie said i can nick his ram to try out before i get some better stuff to run myself , i'll get to 4gig!!!

Shame about the RAM Gary....you`ll get 4GHz soon enough

 

[pants marshall]

i also have another problem with the commando

i lose the IDE for my cd-rom when i choose raid in the bios?????

i have changed the rom for a HD and new cable but without results, i think its in the bios somewhere but for the life of me cant find it,silly as i can see it in the bios before choosing to set up the raid???

any help will be gratefully recieved as i need a fresh install.

cheers for your help last night bazx got my rom to work

those ram voltages havent helped, i think its just the ram flaking out on me.

going round thickies later on today to steal his cell shock stuff .

i'll post more soon as.....

 

[pants marshall]

a question for Mr.Bazx

have you noticed a difference in overclocking whilst having the divider set to auto with the commando?

it wont clock well at all if i set mine to 1:1 but in auto i've managed to get my ram stable to 430mhz giving me a clock of 3.870mhz, i have the 1501 bios, i was curious to know if maybe there are hidden dividers within the bios.

 

[bazx]

hi gary mine always picked 2:3 if left in auto

put memset on your computer it will show which divider you are using

 

[pants marshall]

ok i have run memset and it shows me on the 1:1, but if i select it in the bios then i cant get anywhere near the clocks i have at the moment.................weird.

 

[bazx]

you have trfc set tight there gary try these setting @ 2.3v 1:1

 

[K404]

nah... 28 shouldnt be too tight should it? Theres a fair few 954 results on XS at 600MHz RAM with 21-28 tRFC.

 

[bazx]

sure it can be run tighter but for this oc i would work on the sub timings later

just get the oc working

 

[pants marshall]

i'am really on the edge of what the ram can do(its rated to do 266mhz) it does not like anymore than 2.0v currently running it @1.9750v

If i use thickbrits ram i can get a clock close to 4.2-4.4ish, with some work possibly 4.5, but not with my ram.

i guess i'll have to kind of steal it from him without him noticing:shhh:
