Updated with BIOS 1.31 and performance is at least on par with 1.26. Managed to run FX-55 at 10x290 and 9x320 with 1.6v vCore and finished typical benchmarks - SuperPI and 3Dmarks. So far, it's running great with no instability problems at all. :)

marquzz over @ techsweden.org has a beta board (i think, he atleast has a SLI-DR) and he tested 400fsb and it worked perfect, so is it the newer cards that can run high fsb or is it the review samples? :confused:Quote:

Still waiting the reply from bytesatwork :confused: Can't wait anymore
:brick:
Coluld someone test wich mem dividers are causing problems?
Bios embebed apps are for newbs. We've been overcloking for years without it, do things the old fashion way and just overclock like your supose to. Overclocking isn't for everyone!Quote:

BETA sample MOD ???

What your saying doesnt make sense. How does using embedded apps make one a newb? :rolleyes: With an embedded app you can test your ocs quicker with no risk of corrupting your hd. This saves the trouble of using a spare hd to test your overclock. With an embedded bios you can start testing your oc's much quicker, therefore making the overclocking proccess more efficient. It doesnt make overclocking easier at all, one still needs to know what they are doing, you cannot just say "OOOOOO I HAVE AN EMBEDDED APP IM A SUPER OVERCLOCKER NOW"... no it doesnt work that way, embedded apps are just tools for overclockers it doesnt replace experience, just makes the proccess smoother for people that know what they are doing.Quote:

You don't just throw a bunch of numbers in the bios and hope for the best.

Who said anything about using random numbers? And if you do use a bunch of random high numbers the board just wont boot and in the worst case(some tard that uses 4v for their ram and 2.1v for their cpu by "mistake") fry their hardware. So in the end it still doesnt replace experience. If you dont like embedded apps, OK. But several other people, including me, welcome this feature.Quote:

LOL... I'm waiting for the day when 3d mark 2001 is built into the bios, and using advanced algorithms, will know excatly what your score will be before you even run the benchmark.Quote:

I wish to speak a more rich fluid English an of course with a richer vocabulary :(

Well, while I'm at it:D
This mem test thing people use, whats up with that:D
I've never used mem test in my life, never will. They should have left that app in the memory Labs. I hear people complain about not being able to pass mem-test all time.
Who cares about mem-test, I sure don't need it.
Alright, I'm done complaining about these Overclocking apps now:D
OPP
:D I agree - especially because memtest is not a real help for me - got it error free but rig didn't boot at all so something's wrong with it.Quote:

Well then beginers should read the "How To Overclock Guide 101" then. Like most of us did.Quote:
