i had to rma my msi board, and i would gladly sell it if the abit board is a better overclocker? more options in the bios?
also where is everyone getting their a8n ultra's from?

Looks like they are using ISL 6559CB as a Vcore regulator (Vsense Pin13) :hehe:
and Sanyo Oscon Caps behind the Vcore mosfet heatsink :woot:
Copper Heatpipe :clap:
Hello Everyone,
Ok, I ordered my Fatality SLI, will receive it on Monday. Will assemble, and run some mem tests in the eve (South African time)
Will use it with FX55 130nanometre cpu, and Mushkin BH5 3500, OCZ Rev2 TCCD (Brainpower pcb) memory. My Mushkin and Solo's are about the same, his a little stronger, based on previous experience, but I will anyway post my findings to see if I can run 1T with Mushies and FX55, and if indeed your issues are related to Venice.
Keep tight, with luck I will have my new mobo Monday. Currently DFI-SLI-DR...in case you wondered.
Enjoy the weekend,
MrBean.
i got an an8 sli with a venice and have the same 1t setting problem cant even run it at stock. i also have a problem with the ide 1 when my hard drive is conected to that windows wont install (errors and things show up) but when i use a sata converter it works fine. im using kingston hyper x bh5 for mem not sure if that has anything to do with the 1t problem.
Ah it's Mr Bean :toast: hehe.
Well I got a new best of 265 MHz with the plain AN8 SLI board :banana:
Hey Sheik-Solo,
Good to be here :)
Seth managed a board for me, new place in Durban, so I should have it Monday.
Good going on your memory, mine maxed out (bench stable) at around 263 on the DFI, with Vapo that is where I managed 26.53sec SuperPI.....I just hope that this board is not tweaked so slow in the Bios that it is merely an theoretical higher o/clocks the guys seems to be getting on memory?
Same issue with the latest DFI-SLI's, maybe the batch we have back home, rra's been complaining that he dropped 1/2-3/4 sec in SuperPI with all else being equal...mmm...now have to run close to 100mHz higher on his FX55 to get same SuperPI times....
But yeah, as I said, will see what I can tweak from this board, and compare it to my DFI. Will keep cpu stock, and record some SuperPI times on the weekend. I still have 2x 512M of the Twinmos BH5's as well, so I can do some thorough testing.
Chat to you later again.
New bios out... 1.5 for AN8 don´t know if it works ok on SLI, seems correct thought.

Just tried it... my cpu temps are really high (50ies) and can´t boot with my previous oc... reverted back to 1.4bios. Bad job Abit!!! :slapass:

ok windows and all updates installed default settings in bios and all seems stable. figured id run some tccd first since you guys cant seem to find the 300 mhz sweetspot. heres a little idea of the setup for now.
an8 sli
3500 clawhammer
2x256mb f1la tccd(also 2x256mb mushkin pc3200 bh-5 and 2x256mb mushkin pc 3500 bh-5)
x800xl
antec neo 480 psu
wd 36gig raptor(wd 7200 80gig)
asetek waterchill pro( 3x120 radiator)
thermaltake tsunami case
I've installed the ramslot cooler from my fatality board as i think this one can utilize it more :)
first impressions are that abits temps are still way off no way a asetek waterchill pro is running this cpu at 117f at idle
second impression is that although the heatpipe works good although i still think that this board can benefit from water on the nf4 chip as it runs extremely hot, hotter than my fatality IMO. I think when my chilly 1 chiller arrives sometime in the next week or 2 im going to run the asetek on the nf4 chip. will have some results in a bit need to download some bench utilities.
Can't wait to see that Mushkin BH-5 tested, chew*. I've got 2x512 of the PC-3500.
ok first goal was to break my old stable htt record and it was a cinch 395 htt.
i ran a super pi 1 mb test while priming a blend torture test neither crashed i'd say thats stable not only that but it was a breeze to reach it im sure i can go higher but i'm going to screw with the tccd now.
settings for screenie were 395 htt with a 2.5 x multi ddr at 200 6x multi on cpu no voltage bump for htt or nf4 chip.

here i teach you how.. :sofa:
- press printscreen button(keyboard)
- then open microsoft paint
- paste it there
- save it as Jpeg or gif
24bit bmp is way to big .... :slapass:
395.5MHz HTT....very very nice.......
yeah that bitmap is not a good idea....even cable takes few seconds longer than it should :slapass:
your CPU is capable of 2.8GHz....why don't you try 7x multiplier
abit record # 2 heres some tccd results memtest stable 3 passes.

and ya ill turn them into jpegs next time.
BMP again :slapass:

I will play with
A64 3000+ Venice 0517EPMW does 2.8GHz easy
Corsair Twinx1024-3200Cv1.5 UTT RAM...did 237MHz stable 3.2V on DFI nF4 Ultra-D
Corsair Twinx1024-4400C25 TCCD RAM...did 300MHz unstable 2.9V on DFI nF4 Ultra-D......unstable primarily because of my old 3000+ Winchester unable to run over 2650MHz
