Yes but why use it when you can tweak every single timing that is in bios with ATI system manager...........If you would like i can post a screenie.

I had the lower left one open to prove its RD 580 aka manta. The rest i opened so you could see the expanded version of each one. there is a blank line that you cant see do to to many windows blocking each other that you use to change values.

w00t.. ok thanks dude..
what about startup? does it apply once you enter windows, or is it purely for testing only, and when you've found all the golden settings, you set them in bios? this question kind of applies to a64 tweaker also..

Applies for testing in windows. That feature is nice with mobo's like the an8 which don't have all of a64 tweaker settings in bios. This one however has all of them and then some.

i have an a8r32-mvp.. though it's not the most wanted bios lay-out, i guess it has all the goodies:
(http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=2697&p=3 see last pic, notice the scrollbar)
I read that some settings in 3rd party programs aren't named equally to those in the bios. Is the ati manager naming equal to those in the bios?
This is my first 939 system, I've been a long time lurker, but still these sort of questions have been circling my mind..
Another thing. MAL and RP: I know what they are, but i dont know what they do, and when I have to change those values.. up or down in particular.
again, thanks for your help chew..
