Please help!

Hi, I'm hoping someone can give me a little help.

I've got an AMD 5000+ BE.. runs stock w/ mult. of 13 at 2.6. I'm just air cooling with a few case fans.. nothing special. I can run it at multiplier of 15 and it runs at 3ghz.. but it gets a little hotter than I would prefer. It stays very very cool when its lower. So I want to use RM Clock. I've got no experience with RM Clock until I built this and started trying this.

Note: I never experience ANY issues, 100% stable when not running RM clock.

Originally had set to use 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 for the P states.. I thought maybe RAM issue with the uneven multipliers changing the ram... so I just set multipliers to 5, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15. Eliminating 11 and 13. I left 9 because with AMD cool n quiet enabled, it jumps to 9 all the time with no issues, same with 5. Also, set at 15 and just running 3.00ghz all the time, it runs fine (like I said, just a little warmer, would like to keep it down)

My problem: I randomly get blue screens. Checking RM clock logs, it happens ANY TIME, not just when it hits a certain multiplier or voltage. I thought maybe it was RAM. I tried running prime 95 while manually stepping down from one multiplier to another, I can't seem to cause it to crash.. its just kind of random, but ONLY when running RM Clock.

I've changed RM clock to use SINGLE steps rather than multi, and changes the delays a little higher when stepping up and down.. thinking that might help.


But so far nothing.. still randomly crashes.

Any ideas on what I can do to narrow it down, maybe some setting in RM clock I'm missing that will help? Any one have ANYTHING for me?

It would be greatly appreciated!!! I'm somewhat of a newb with the whole over clocking thing.. not very knowledgeable regarding the RAM speeds and all that, but I figured I haven't touched any of it, so would RM clock be changing that for some reason???

Thanks!!!!

Read the sticky and OC in the BIOS, not with RM Clock.

As I said in my post, I can OC in the bios and it runs fine at mult. 15 3ghz.. however it just gets a little warm. I want to use RM Clock to keep the temps down when its idle or when I'm just browsing the web and such... no need for it to run like that all the time.

So that is my reasoning for using RM Clock. I wish AMD's cool n quiet would let it work with overclocking, but unfortunately it does not, or this would be much simpler.

Thanks for the suggestion, but.. anyone else???

bump for annoyiing bsod 🙁

Even when you OC in the bios, web browsing shouldn't give you high CPU usage. Your temps will stay cool. Expect higher than average temps when doing something far more stress enducing, gaming, compressing, rendering

Using RM clock won't help as far as cooling your parts is concerned.

Quick and easy solution ? Replace your heat sink and use bios to OC. Spend 30$ - 50$ and you'l be laughing...

 

[twentythreemx]

It will because the higher voltage required to run at 15x multiplier makes it run hotter. If I underclock with RMClock it drops voltages which significantly lowers temps.

Anyone?

 

[twentythreemx]

still havent figured this out.. nobody wants to help me 🙁

Unless RM Clock will increase the voltage, there is no way to use the 15x multiplier.

 

[twentythreemx]

RM Clock does increase the voltage. It runs fine with the 15x multiplier when prime 95 runs.. its stable.. i just cant figure out the random crashes

 

[theAnimal]

If the crashes only happen when using RM Clock, then just don't use it. OC to 2.8 in the BIOS and leave it, or don't OC at all. 15% really isn't that significant.
