Thanks man will have a look at it :)
After a while of testing my conclusion is the beta bios 1.41 sucks. Somehow I can't get over 250 no matter what type of mem I use (EB's, TCCD's, BH5's). However with the modded version of 1.37 I got upto an easy 270 1:1, and probally faster with TCCD's
will try the mod1.37 (i think that is one of trats bioses?) later on tonight and will report results as well.
I also have some problems higher than 260HTT with my mem's (BH5, EB).
This bios (1.4B1) solved my cold temps problems, but I think it's not so good with overclocking...
My BH5 don't want more than 3,4 - 3,5v in this board. With my "old" Giga K8N Pro, they run smooth at 261Mhz 1:1 with 3,6v...
I got a "Huge" problem! I got my memory today so I started to clock and ended my first clock with this: http://w1.971.telia.com/~u97102906/2.3ghz.jpg
then I mixed some settings in bios and now I cant get over 233FSB at all. Its so sick. I've tried to reset the sh*t and stuff but it wont work. I dont got a single clue why I can do a thing. ADATA Vitesta PC4000 DDR500 2x512, AMD A64 3200+ Winchester @ stock cooling and a old TNT2 card. Would be happy if someone could help me. Im currently using the newest bios 1.41.
TNT2 card = old AGP specification.
If I'm not mistaken, the newer AGP requires about half the voltage of the first generation AGP. Try using the 9600XT you have in your sig.
Its pretty dead so I cant do something with it =( So it would be good to raise the volt for the agp to the card?
No. First generation AGP is not compatible with motherboards that comply with the newer AGP specification.
Well Im up and running and still clocking, 2.4ghz now and going higher with my baby :D Just had to reset cmos again :P
im just having no love with this mobo.. it doesnt want to give me a good overclock :(
Im not prime stable at 3-2-2-11 1T 2.85vdimm 5/6 ram divider
9.5x 275mhz 3500+ 90nm @ 2600mhz
i have ocz 3700EB and ive been reading through this thread and apparently this mobo doesnt like it
my best 3dmark03 score was 13000 and thats at a prime unstable level :(
what settings can i do to make this work? different ram? looser timings? im pretty sure its the ram holding me back
can anyone tell me how to remove the NB fan ?
i tryed to do it, but failed
It's not that hard, Push out the pluggs on the backside, squeeze the "hooks" together and pull it throught the hole :D Dont know if you understand me but I cant give you a better explaination :DQuote:

Ou the thread :D
Cumps guys
I was a good idea to put in the first post all the links for the bios download´s , don´t you think ?
You will need a Ram Booster with EB to go far. I burned out the Pot on my new Booster giving the EB the juice.... :D With the Ram Booster you should feed the EB around 3.0-3.2Volts or it will not do well on this board. I have given up and ordered some Gskill ram that can run high htt on lower voltage and better timings. :)Quote:

Thanks for that :) so if i got the ddr ram booster what settings should i aim for ?Quote:

Thkx man , where all those bios tested ?
Thank , once more :D
Hi,
I just started playing with a new MSI K8N Neo2 and a Athlon 64 3200+ Winchester. The last time I oc'ed an AMD was with an old Athlon XP so am fairly new to the 64's. I've really enjoyed the combination but have hit a very strange wall. Since I do not yet have my OCZ ram, I am using the old Geil Ultra Platinum PC4000 dual channel set in my system, so I have to run the memory at 133 (otherwise I can barely boot past 220) to test out the CPU.
I have so far reached 295 x 9 at HT 3x (memory at effective 190 MHz and 1T). But as soon as I try pushing to 300 x 9, my system won't boot. In fact, I don't even get a post screen and At 295 I can boot into windows and run Super Pi without any stability issues; Prime 95 does eventually crash out but does so randomly (one time at 5 minutes and another at 30), leading me to believe I should run at slightly less than 295 for gaming. Plus, 295 x 9 is achieved at stock voltages for the CPU. Do you think I hit a wall? Or might I have a setting wrong? I haven't yet tried dropping to 300 X 8, although I question whether that would be that helpful since I'd drop from 2.65 GHz down to 2.4 GHz for just 5 MHz of fsb. But I would like to hit 300 just for kicks and then scale back for gaming.
In a way this is just moot because I know with my OCZ's at 1:1 I will probably not make it to 295. Anyways, thanks for any suggestions.
For me it seems that the 1.36b ist the best for me! (High Vdimm + BH5)Quote:

Yes! But i have modded my board. ;)
Did you do the 3.3v rail mod? Wonder if ADATA Vitesta DDR500 want some more volt then 2.85v.
