SuperPi

While overclocking, after raising the FSB by 5 I boot up Windows and run SuperPi and run 32m. After a relatively insignificant OC I get the message while running SuperPi "Not convergent in SQR05". i have read that with that message you should raise the vCore voltage and/or the DRAM voltage, or your OC is too high, which is very unliekly because it is only at 2GHz from 1.8GHz, sometimes less. Any ideas on what to do. I lowered the LDT/FSB frequency ratio to 3.0, and the CPU/FSB frequency ratio to 8.5 and 8. The CPU voltage is up to 1.52 and the DRAM was raised to 2.9. Any ideas on what's causing this error in SuperPi?

Thanks:)

Since your stock multiplier was 9.0x, how would a bump of 5MHz result in 200MHz OC?

Try PiFast4.3(settings 0. 0, 100million, 8192, 0) and see if that completes successfully

Regardless, you probably dont have to run vDimm at 2.9 (well you probably dont have to... not for that kinda clock) ... but what memory do you have? :)

The FSB was raised a number of times before this message started appearing. I may be young, but I passed algebra:).

The vDimm was raised just to see if SuperPi would complete, usually it won't run that high. I have bargain RAM, as you may have read in a different post, I am regretting such a stupid decision.

I'll run that program and get back to you.

So what is it set to now? (and what is the memory divider set to? )
 
THe FSB is at 220 while the processor is running at 1870mhz right now, PiFast completed, and not sure exactly where the memory divider is found in my BIOS. Everything that I've mentioned up to now is in the Genie BIOS Settings section, and I don't see anything resembling a memory divider in that section or in the DRAM configuration subsection(loacted in the Genie BIOS setting)

It's indirectly settable in the "DRAM Frequency Set" option .. are you running 1:1?
