i dont know why cool and quite is such a big problem
when you click it on in core center both my fans cpu and north bridge go to about half speed. Nothing else changes wheather im at 2500mhz or 2009 mhz thats all it does!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

simple.
the sticker on your printer port is your nv lan mac address.
simply re enter it in hte bios. !
thanks :)
magica, it is sapose to lower your cpu speeds and fan speeds to save power and make the pc quieter. your cpu doesnt lower ferqunces when on? if not do you have the amd driver loaded? have you changed windows power settings?do you have any programs running that would use lots of power like folding apps or anything?it will only work with what i said above and nothing power hungry running. i may not be the first to go to about this but i couldnt get it to work and then learned that amd has a driver for the cpu and i had to change power settings in screen saver menu.hope this helps, Avery
Agreed. 1.8 and 1.C3 are the best imo. 1.8 gets me to about 340HTT and 1.C3 gets me 350-360HTT.Quote:

kbtat2 It seems that the 1.C3 works better with nvidia 6800 cards as at least 3 people have mentioned that now. In my experiance at high overclocks I can be 100 percent stable in windows but crash in games with some bios revisions.
1.C3 doesnt have that problem for me 1.C final does.
Thanks Sideeffect, I will try that bios out and see.
I'm sure it's already been covered but it's kinda hard to absorb everything after 164 pages :D .
same as SE here - 1.C3 runs my 6800 fine, 1.C0 sometimes "freezes up" for a few seconds every few minutes on my 6800 when playing games.
edit: now put some heatsinks on the mosfets for vcore. was getting a bit unstable over 1.55v with my opteron, so if the board still works *prays no arctic silver adhesive got on mosfet legs* Then i'll do the vddr ones aswell :)
Sinking the mosfets allowed me to knock off ~0.025v at the same clocks as before :toast: (down from needing 1.6v to prime @ 2880mhz to 1.575v), and i still need to sink the ones on the back of the board!
Hey TMM, could you take a pic of where you put the heatsinks?

crap pic i know, but the flash broke on my digicam (7 year old Olympus 1.3MP woot!) ..actually im not sure what HASN'T broken on that camera yet heh

red shaded area is where the sink is. blue arrows are the mosfets for vddr which could be worth while doing, and red ones im not entirely sure what they do (vAGP and chipset voltage?) but they get pretty hot tho.
are you using copper heatskins?
aluminum - its a Pentium1 (iirc) cooler hacked up to size :)
hey people, i've got myself a X2 3800+ (was running 2.7Ghz @ 1.56v stable on a friends machine) now i've got it and i want to get it at 2.6Ghz, my gear is the following:
AMD X2 3800+
MSI K8N Neo2 Plat.
1Gb Corsair TwinX 3200XL (2-2-2-5) Ram in Dual Chanel
Asetek Watercooling System
Ati 9800XT
Antec 480w TruePower
ok now i need a little tutorial on how i could acheive this overclock as this is my first AMD system so im a n00b at it...
also i have a problem with my BIOS, were if i have 1 stick of ram in the slot my bios will boot fine, when i add another it also boots fine until i boot windows, and try to enter the bios on next start up, i get a white Underscore just flashing on a black screen, this can be fixed by taking out a stick of ram, booting into bios, saving the settings, putting the second back in, but then next time ill have the same problem, anyone know whats going on?!
thanks in advance!

Is there any way to set 1.6v vcore in BIOS with an X2 chip with a default voltage of 1.35v? I'm using linux, so bumping volts up with CoreCenter isn't an option. I'd use the 1.36 bios, but since I'm using an X2, I have a feeling it wouldn't work out that great.
DragonO if you want 1.6v try 10%+1.4 thats what I use for my X2 4400. Use the latest 1.b official or sideeffects bios 1.c (a few different flavors).
I'm using 1.4v + 10%, but that only gets me ~1.55v with SideEffect's 1.c TCCD bios. I actually have it set to 1.5v + 10%, just to make sure I'm getting as much as I can.
