WARNING!!!! about athlon black addition

[irhealx0r]

hi my name bill and i have got a athlon 5000 black and it says 5000 is 2.6ghz but warning it only runs at 2 ghz and you can set the multiplyer but it only maxes at 2ghz which isnt very good except theres 2 of them so that helps.

if anyone else has this problem tell me and ill make you in my letter to amd so they know!!! and maybe can help!!! or if you haven't boughten a processor yet get one that has intel inside!

 

[gpippas]

Have you tried updating your bios? Thats the first thing they will say. And what motherboard do you have?

 

[turboflame]

Can you post a screenshot of CPU-Z?

 

[irhealx0r]

its not the bios i put in another processor a friends and now it doesn't work in his system but in mine it worked ok, his was a athlon 5600 and it worked ok

screenshots dont work in vista

 

[TechnologyCoordinator]

Where did you buy it from?

 

[irhealx0r]

frys they have everything

 

[applejuice85]

Something is wrong with your setup. I have a 5000+ black edition and can set my multiplier all the way up to 25x if I really wanted. Overclocks to just about 3.4 with effort, 3.1 with stock voltage.

Im currently running it at 3.0 at stock voltage.

15 x 200 MHz = 3000Mhz
All I did was raise the multiplier.

Be sure to check your BIOS settings for FSB and HTT. Or perhaps reset the BIOS to defaults, check for an updated one from the motherboard manufacturer, and check for Brisbane support for the board also.

Huh?!? I've never had an issue. Hit the printscreen key, paste the image in MS Paint.

[irhealx0r]

my fsb is 1000, and hyperthreading transport is only on intel processors this is amd if you have one its got two processors but not hyperthreading transport

my multiplyer is already on, see in signature?

what is brisbane?

 

[applejuice85]

HTT - HyperTransport not Hyper threading.

FSB and Hyper Transport are different

AMDs have a different linkup architecture than Intels do to their northbridge.

Set your multiplier manually if you have to 13 for stock speed of 2.6GHz

Set your VCore manually to 1.35 which is the highest stock voltage possible for the chip.

Set your FSB to 200MHz
HTT to 1000MHz

Brisbane is the name of the core design that the 5000+ Black Edition uses.

This is his configuration:

I have a awesome computer for gaming!
-Intel 680i Chipset with RAM
-4GB SYSTEM RAM!!!!!!! (and 533!!!)
-eNvidia eGeForce 8800GTX 256MB (SUPER FAST)
-AMD Athlon 5000+ black addition (at 2GHZ with multiplyer)
-1 Tarrabite HD space with 2 400GB and a 80GB and a 120GB
-Odigy ex-fi external fidelity fatality addition
-Disabled onboard comports
-disabled onboard printer parallellport
-fullspeed USB 2 enabled!

Errr.. how the hell do ya run a 5000+ B/E on an INTEL (edit: oopp.. Nvidia) 680i chipset???????????????????

Wrong way round mate ... AMD = HTT ... Intel = FSB

brisbane is the codename given to the 65nm K8 cores.

If your 5000BE isn't behaving, then it's going to be a bios issue. It probably didn't work in a friends because his motherboard may not support the 65nm chips without a bios update.

As others have asked, you need to take a screenshot of CPU-Z and host it somewhere so we can see what it's saying.

And a special edition 256mb GTX... I'm sure they only came in one flavour (768)

 

[irhealx0r]

im at work, i cant do a cpu-z plus screenshots dont work in vista

also if i did a screenshot would i look for a multiplyer for hyperthreading? i think it says i have 2 threads last time i saw it

Then somebody *obviously* sold you a copy of XP with WindowBlinds installed. You should go beck to the vendor and demand your money back.


Meh...

You may need to swap out your chair-to-keyboard interface.

OMG i have got to get me a system like that... a 256mb Graphics card wow... costly.

 

[rgeist554]

I have come to two conclusions:

1. You have no clue what you're doing / what you're talking about.

2. You're high.

screenshots dont work in vista

Yeah, buddy, they do.

And a special edition 256mb GTX... I'm sure they only came in one flavour (768)

lol, I think by special, he means non-existant. That or he bought it from a flea market or something. Although... he could have been lied to at Fry's, the employees at the Fry's near me does that crap all the time.

Fry's Employee: "Yeah, you'll want a Pentium D 9xx at 3Ghz... it's way faster than that E6750 and 2.66Ghz"

*edit*

You may need to swap out your chair-to-keyboard interface.

LOL! I concur.

 

[Grimmy]

Ahhhh HAAA... I see the problem:

-disabled onboard printer parallellport
-fullspeed USB 2 enabled!

His onboard printer is overloading his USB 2... sooo that's where hes getting only 2 ghz.

. o O (J/K!!)

 

[applejuice85]

Hypertransport NOT hyperthreading
The link is usually 1000Mhz
You have a bunch of stuff to keep in mind...

You might want to google about overclocking the black edition 5000+ and learn something about the proper setup of these chips.

Wow, how did I miss that?

I lol'd anyway

Maybe he needs more Tarrabites of High Definition space and obviously more than 537 RAMs

 

[hotdogmichigan]

The Athlon64 Black Edition is newer than the 5600+ you tried before and will need a BIOS update my friend. The motherboard has to recognize the new stepping and that is done through a bios update only.

In order to flash the BIOS will he need C cell or D cell batteries in his flashlight?

 

[jnava121]

how bout you put a bananna in the flux capacitor and let someone that knows what they are doing fix your computer... lol
