Same here MSI BIOS reports 40c, Mach2 GT LCD reports -52c. I think most A64 mobos have temp reading problems :)
Wish it were winter again ???? Winter is just starting :D

I have the same RAM, and i was stuck at 250 @ 2.5-3-3-7 @ 2.75v
but then i tried 260 and 270 @ 3-4-4-10 and i passed memtest twice each
Benches in sisoft aren't that much better though, compared to 250, it was only like
7001/6922 MB/s @ 250
vs
7037/6943 MB/s @ 270
btw, what dimms do you have your sticks in? 1&2?
I can boot at 300 Mhz 3-3-3 and run SuperPI, but I have to ease up on timings to get higher.
I wanted to post with my updated system specs (see my sig) which I've had for a few weeks now, my max seems to be around 2.6Ghz b/c anything higher and it bsod's, I wanted to ask for some help to see if I can pull out anything higher with this chip, I'm using vcore 1.525V + 10% and the max I've seen is around 1.7-1.73V, I'm using the beta bios 1.41 right now, so do you guys have any tips or tricks that I should try? thanks
also I've gotten up to 300Mhz fsb

Hi guys :) me again.
I had the "False start" bug with my first Neo2, so I sent it to RMA. Two weeks later, my second Neo2 arrived, although have the same issue. danm! I can't believe my luck!.
However, the Neo2 is the better 939 board on market IMHO I think it worths to test it once again.
A few days ago, my 3rd Neo2 arrived, wish me Luck!
I'll try the 1.41Beta BIOS :)
Gentlemen, I'm glad to confirm that the "False Start bug" is CORRECTED with the 1.41Beta BIOS.
So far, two buggy MoBos (September batch) are fixed through this BIOS update
:toast: :toast:
Now, let's apply some thermal compound to the NB, and then OC this baby :D
nevermind :P, just ONE is OK, the other don't pass the test, False Starts still there. 50-50 :P

peace perc,
i just tried testing dimm1/2 vs dimm3/4 and i can confirm that 1/2 are more stable, memtest failed in 3/4 with the exact same settings that passed 1/2 :P
When i had my memory on dimm3&4 after running prime95 for a while the pc was rebooting by itself...
Dimms1&2 work best for me.
That's OK guys :D
Just remember, the manual says that Double Sided Modules works better on DIMM Slots 1&2 :)
how can i find out if my module is double sided, if it has a heatspreader on it?
Will the Thermalright XP-90 fit this board? I realze, due to the placement of the DIMM slots and, hence, the proximity of the socket to the AGP slot, that the 120 is out of the question.
But with the XP-90's off-center raised over hang, will this desirable cooler fit?
Anybody using one of the Neo2?
serlv, yup it fits perfectly fine :)

That's right, just dont combo with XL Pros, those Modules are higher.
:)
A little tip: If you cannot raise the vcore in BIOS (in case of me, only get 1.6V max @ BIOS), you can do it with Core Center. Simply install the Core Center,run it, then increase the vcore in step 0.05V . Remember to quit Core Center after finish your work or your system will be unstable.
not only does it fit fine on the msi k8n neo2 plat, but the overhang on the xp-90 cools dimm slots 1&2 perfectly.
anyone have any ideas of how I can oc higher? see my post above thx

What other multiplers have you used? Have you tried 10 x 260, 11 x 250, 13 x 210, etc.
What about different RAM? What other sticks have you used in that machine?
who said it wouldnt?Quote:

I'll have to try more multipliers but in terms of ram I only have the oczQuote:

have you tried another bios? 1.36 bios runs really nice on my mobo :DQuote:
