  • Overclock errors with F3-16000CL9D-4GBRH

    Hello. I have an Intel i7 860 with this RAM: F3-16000CL9D-4GBRH.
    I am trying to put the RAM at 2000Mhz and the CPU at 3.8GHz with X.M.P. option at BIOS, but when I do a torture test at Prime95 it shows a Fatal Error (at least on one of the cores): "FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4"
    I am hoping you can help me with some tips about voltages or whatever I need to have a stable system.

    P.S.: I have tested the RAM with memtest89 with no errors at these settings: 9-9-9-27 1.6v

    Thanks.

    May need to raise the CPU voltage just a bit at a time


    Pls offer comments on support I provide, HERE, in order to help me do a better job here:

      I increased 0,00625v from 1.26v to 1.3v and all those voltages resulted in a Fatal Error.
      I read online that this kinda error may be be related to RAM, but since memtest86 test showed no errors, I don't know what's wrong....

        Rather than use XMP (which is a generic setting) may want to put timings in manually, if still problems, if you post your BIOS Settings we may get a better idea of what is amiss

          I choose X.M.P but I put timings manually, the recommended ones for this RAM: 9-9-9-27 2N
          Maybe i should use 1.65v instead of 1.60v for VRAM

          EDIT: I tryed
          vcore:1,4v
          IMC: 1,4v
          and prime95 didn't show any error, should I decrease both voltages or only vcore since it's high?

          Question:
          Is IntelBurn Test a reliable stress program?

          "Benefits of using Linpack:
          1. More accurate than Prime95 Small FFTs/Blend.
          2. Takes less time to tell if your CPU/RAM is unstable than Prime95 (usually
          something like 8 minutes Linpack vs 40 hours under Prime95).
          3. Use the same stress-testing engine that Intel uses to test their products
          before they are packed and put on shelves for sale."

            From where you are at, might want to lower voltages one at a time while maintaining stability. IntelBurn Test seems fairly reliable to me and it's a good one to use when trying to get stable since it is quick. Can always use it to get a comfortable setup, then run Prime while night-night or at work.

              Thanks for the tips.
              I asked that because, for example, I used 1,3v for CPU and then tested on IntelBurn Test on maximum with no problems and then same voltages on prime95 and in the first 3 minutes I had a Fatal error....strange huh.

                Please make sure you have the latest BIOS for the motherboard. Then test each one at a time to see if one performs differently.

                  I have latest BIOS, thanks. I realised that 10 runs on maximum doesn't prove the system is stable. When I used 1,3v vcore IntelBurn Test said the system was stable but when I did the test again, the result was negative.
                  So I tryed 1,3125v and this time I did 3 tests ( 10 runs on maximum), and now it's stable.

                  Thanks for everything.
