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)

    • No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
    • Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
    • From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.
    • 3rd time lucky, the AAC is now all plumbed up after getting some final fittings All set up under the plenum of maximum access
