Nforce2

Hi,

Ok got this running on Athlon64 3500 on Epox 9npa+ and it works a treat. The memory step by step overclock tool is excellent. The ATI section sends my display into vertical lines as soon as I move either mem or core speed up or down, have X800 XT but have ATI tool anyway for this function.

So thought I would run it on my Epox 8rda NF2 as it has new ram on it. As soon as I select Clock Generator it locks solid. Have to reset PC. Is this fully NF2 compatible?

nf2 support is untested and probably buggy. thanks for bringing this up i'll look into it

so atitool works fine for settings the clocks and systool doesnt? what if you click on apply without changing anything?

[Ed Omega]

If I click Apply the buttons goes pale but nothing else happens, no effects, keeps running ok.

Update, as we have been typing the 538 patch came on line. This hasnt altered the NF2 issue, but the ATI issue has progressed a bit. It will now allow me to move the sliders or click +/- and apply a new speed, but now as soon as I select Liveupdate is goes wrong.

Oh, and with build 538 it still calls itself build 534, just a minor one there.

yeah going thru a few fixes right now .. fix, find whats broken, new fix and so on :)

Gigabyte nForce2, clock speed is reduced to 1400 MHz (from 2200) throw FSB (to 128MHz) change as soon as systool is loaded. The affect is not only numerical, tested the performance...

I have Epox 8rda. As soon as I select the Clock Generator for NF2 it used to lock completely, now with verson 557 it just reboots the PC.

Request:

This works brillianty on my Epox 9NPA+ NF4, but one slight annoyance is that once you select the clock generator, it forgets so you have to do this every time. Can it be remembered once selected, this would be nice.

Thanks.

That's true with clockspeeds, I have an Athlon XP 3200+ and sometimes I'll look at Ntune or Systool and it says all my specs are underclocked, I didn't touch anything. Plus it's not half speed, it's specific underclock and it's wierd. Well just thought I should say, because it's running on an Nforce 2 board too. Actually Nforce 2 has a lot of problems, including sound. If you have NVMixer on your board, you should see this. Night mode randomly turns on and makes everything really quiet, even when it says it isn't on or you turn it off. Just saying .

Hey, I got an Nforce 2 Ultra 400 mobo, and at stock speeds (Athlon XP 3200+ 2.2ghz) with extra voltage flowing, Systool has problems. It takes a LONG time to start, and just as long when I change the clockspeed in Ntune, and when it does recognize the fsb, I can't move the slider and when I do "find max clock" or whatever it just tests whatever speed I'm at and it won't clock any higher, so I'm not sure what's wrong. Plus, past the stock speed, even only 11mhz higher, it freezes the computer. If you can solve this problem or I can help, I'd be happy to. Thank you.
