SN45G problem

[Giuliano]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.shuttle (More info?)

someone knows why can't I set memories to more than 190mhz
memories are Twinmos 2x512 (M-tec chip 50-D) 3200
over 190mhz super-pi gives errors (not convergent etc...)
bios is the original one (i don't know what it is)
but if i use the last availeble i risk a complete system faliure
(fans working no post front led off, cmos reset useless)
with the new one 2 xpcs are gone only because i set higher timings for mems
to gain moer stability,,

suggestions?

You didn't refer to the CPU chip you're using in the SN45G but my guess is
your running a newer chip (Barton core?). If my guess is correct, your best
setting for memory would be one that matches the speed of your front side
bus(FSB)...that being 166mhz. If your running a slightly older chip (say
Athlon core) you'll have to set the FSB and memory to 133mhz. Finally, if
you're using a Duron chip (much older) you'll need to set the FSB and memory
to 100mhz. Setting memory speeds other than these can often cause stability
problems and may even cause your 45G to fail a post.

If stability is your ultimate goal, use settings that match the FSB speed of
your CPU and make sure the memory speed matches the FSB.

Hope this helps.

system is running a barton 2500+ tested for stability at a minimum fsb of
200
(200x11 3200+)
i've tryed also setting fsb to 166 and mems to 120% (200mhz x2)
but the problem still persists
you say that i'd have the same problem even if I set fsb to 133 and mems to
166?
i don't think so

the barton i bought on a specialized website is tested to work at 200 mhz
fsb and standard vcore
why Can't I make system run with this settings? maybe I need to change
memory banks only because
they are not certified for dual channell?

it never failed a post except for the posts that caused a complete system
breakdown with the newer bios...

Up the CPU voltage to at least 1.65 volts if it's not at that already.

I had to up mine to 1.8..
