Not much you can do about the ones on the back really... I've just ordered 8 copper heat-sinks I'm going to stick on to the ones on the top. It can't hurt!Quote:

I am not a big guru around OCZ memory, but if I remember correctly the EL is CH-5 or some other useless crap like that. The booster is a good idea, though.

Are you sure that's right? They have previous bios release saying "Support Sempr0n 1800+" - uh wtf is that :stick:
ocz pc3200 EL platinum rev2 is TCCD :p
i went with the vx .. and the booster

No more 18% as per the 1.36b & a few minor changes here & there but nothing special.
On the aircooled rig it's doing alright..
On my Vapo? well I ain't sure whether it's that cold bug or not but everytime I manage to install Windows & then start off with the drivers, I get freezes & then I have to manually reset my rig.
Sometimes when I have to reset my rig I'm confronted with this:
"System config blah blah blah is not there" please press "R" when installing windows to try & repair this...
Ouch... that error sucks dude... I hope for your sake you use Norton Ghost?Quote:

I think 1.36 beta is pretty good on the CPU voltage side.
In the 1.4 Official i found this secret Options:
AGP Sideband Address
NV/ATI Speed Up
PCI Clock Auto Detect
What are you using for the options?
True... but you can also use CoreCenter for that ;)Quote:

(vcore, multiplier and HTT)
Even multiplier changing on the fly, love it :)
Now it's no problem to start up @ default :toast:
btw I must get rid of this 0409... I'll go get a 0411 :banana:
Couldn't even get to that part.Quote:

Reboot & I'm confronted with that dreaded "your XP install is farked" please reinstall XP & press "R" & maybe that'd fix your problems...
If I had the cold issues (where the mobo will not even boot) , my mobo/cpu wouldn't even start iirc.
WTF am i doing wrong??
Gonna try the new 1.5X beta bios to see if it fixes anything..
I'll be back
Minnyboy
@all
could you please tell me how the OCZ DDR Booster works and where i can buy it?
Beware!!!
1.5X bios is no good for aircooled machines.
Updated my bios last night & am confronted with a borked OS...
"I'm confronted with that dreaded "your XP install is farked" please reinstall XP & press "R" & maybe that'd fix your problems..."
Repaired XP but still no good :mad:
Gotta try & do a full reinstall yet again..
even trying to go back to the 1.36b or 1.4 official is no good...
Have yet to try it on my phase-change system but I don't think I'm about to give it a shot after this problem...
OS was working very smoothly until I updated to that 1.5X bios...
Even using phase-change, I recommend that you back up your rig before trying it out just in case the same thing happens to you...
then again, this problem might be just related to aircooled rigs & not phase-change.
Proceed at you own peril.
Again, this is just my experience with this bios.

Lol! Something is really wrong with the Winchester + MSI combination!
There are so many different problems all over the internet .. One of this
two manufacters really make something wrong there ...!
Earlier MSI's or all MSI's ;)
All! Thats just luck! Had nothing to do with the nb-date or something else! ;)
I have an 0409 and it works perfect, better then much other Neo2s i've seen!
And i'm not the only one ... Others with 0411 boards and 0435+ nb have really hard problems
to get something stable!
are the later week msi k8n's starting to suck?
i thought they get better with time not worse?!
above post looks pessimistic so i ask this.
I boot 300+ with the newest revision. It's a korea board though.
IT's past 440a2, as that is taiwan, and I could only hit 290 htt with that.

You couldn't get above 290 on the Taiwan board with the chipset voltage maxed out?
