heyy fellas.

ive overclocked my E2180 to 2.40ghz and my HIS ATI Radeon2600xt to 840mhz engine and 940mhz memory.

after achieving these clocks im finding games run much smoother on the next graphic detail setting which is what i was after, but at random times usually after a hour or so of fallout 3 on High or S.T.A.L.K.E.R soc on extreme settings my computer will completly lock up! and need restarting :(

GC o\c achieved by CCC

cpu o\c via bios only changing the frequency. (cant adjust voltage on my mobo)

cpu usually runs while gaming 30deg max and im pretty sure the gpu gets up to 55deg.

so my questions are :

are these temps acceptable?

after futher "burning in" of the chips can i expect these lockups to go away?

any other info greatly appreciated,

Cheeers :P

What ram are you using?

Did you adjust your FSB:DRAM ratio so that your Ram isn't OCed together with your CPU?

If you can't up your Voltages then consider dropping the OC a bit on the CPU. As depending on the luck of the draw your particular CPU probably needs a bump up in voltage.

My Q6600 OCed to 3Ghz needed a small bump in voltage.

Also what mobo are you using? Whats the stock speed for a 2600xt?

hey man,

its old school ddr400... geil 2x 1g in duel channel, running at cl 2.5,4,4,8. and FSB:DRAM 5:4. although i dont completly understand o/cing ram....

the stock pwr of the gc is Gpu: 820mhz mem: 730mhz.

the mobo is a Asrock 775i65g-R2. getting on now so thats why ive turned to OCing to squeeze some betetr gaming outa it.

Cheers!

when logging with gpuz over clocked the card got to 60deg once, then it froze, that was only after about 20mins of fallout3. standard clocks i can platy for almost double but if you check the log ive attatched it crashes around 58deg. im kinda convinced its the GPU since with differnt mobos people have got the e2180 to 3.7ghz on air cooling!! stragly the gpu fan wont go over 61%?? is there a way in CCC or another program where i can speed it up?

cheers.

do this.

1. Download FurMark

2. Install/setup

3. Rename furmark.exe to "abc.exe"

4. Run abc.exe

Run it in torture/stress mode.

If your issue is the GPU thats the best way to tell IMO as its a GPU only test where some games could be CPU related.

You must rename the EXE though as ATi limit the cards via drivers to the furmark test so they perform 'better'.

Furmark will get the card to temp in about... 2-3mins if that ;)

Then download Riva Tuner. Forget using CCC from there forward.

Riva will let you set the fanspeed to 100% manually and even see what values will alter the fan speed.

Then try Furmark again and see what happens

You sure the fan isnt blocked possibly? cleaned it all out? Ensured the fan/heat sink is screwed to the card correctly... they can come loose. I have a ATi card delivered about 3-4 weeks ago that was VERY loose and needed a bit of tightening.

When you say twice as long at normal clocks - is still locking up? What about if you underclock the card a little? (via riva tuner)

end of the day if the GPU is causing it to crash, fk all you can do short of buying a better one. Ebay you should find a few $50-$80 cards that will be better than what you have

actually after playing for a few hours with the card over clocked and the cpu back to standard it hasnt crashed once? might have to look out for some voltage software because i cant alter voltage of the cpu with this mobo.

or buy a more powerful cpu ;)

hey r31, just read your post!

as above, i think it still must be cpu related now because my cards fan speed is adjusted automaticly via temp senser.

do u know any voltage control software? otherwise i guess its new cpu time.

if you cant alter the voltage - what makes you think another CPU will do?

If the mobo is limited in vcore - no CPU will save you, new mobo time

well, to increase voltage to hopefully make it more stable, no if i got a better cpu i wouldnt have to adjust the voltage. id just have a more powerful one without the need to oc :cheers:

not all CPU's run the same voltage dude :P

Depends if the mobo is reading it and auto-adjusting or not.

do you know if there is a BIOS update/hack for your mobo that allows you to do v.core etc etc?

im aware of that man :cheers:

yeah thats what im trying to find out? use a third party software so i can adjust it.

if not ill just bite the bullet n get a e5200 or some shit... its a aged pc im surprized it even plays f3! haha

well, you might be able to get a program like Set FSB that might work and so on.

There are a fair few around the net. Check techpowerup.com and guru3d - those places contain most of the decent downloadable apps

I still reckon check what version BIOS you have, and then the manufacturers site and see if there is an update - OR - if someone has made thier own BIOS in which they have unlocked a few 'locked' settings.

Or perhaps your mobo have a 'trick' locked setting mode, in which case you can unlock it by some keystrokes in the BIOS page (again, google homework for you)

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
