Ok I did a search and I didn't answer my ?'s so I thought I'd ask here.
In the mem timing options there are like 8 settings or so. Anyone care to list off some good optimal settings. I changed Cas to 2, tras to 3 and trcd to 3, running 2x512mb Corsair PC3200LL reg mem. So CH5's.

Also I tried 2.4ghz with Venus12+ aircooler and was no go at 1.55v as set in bios. I then saw a vcore scew or something like that in jumperfree area and raised it 120mv(only option it gave me) but in mobo book there appears to be more options, but don't appear on my screen. Well anyway 2.4ghz is(crossing fingers)_ priming now whereas it would immediately error before.

Any other tips with this board, I'm a fish out of water

thanks Opp
I can't run 230 fsb so I'm gonna have to stick at tras of 3
but I'll try the other settings
now I got 21500 3dmark2001 score at 2.4ghz default 9800XT clocks and default IQ in the Cat 3.10's and DX9
I didn't think that was too bad. Lowered IQ and clocked the rad to like 450/390 and got 23300 or so. Need another 300pts to overtake my 4.08GHZ P4 and 9800XT that clocks abit better.

Wish this FX was mine but alas it is just here for testing before it ships to final customer. Wetting my appetite though. It just feels different than my P4, maybe it's in my head but it feels faster in some things like windows xp and it breezed through install faster than anything I've ever used.

oh and I do plan to do the vdimm mod to get fsb >230 but I wanted to find max stable stock before delving into that :)
