Already done that and no go. Tested the PC2-6400 on another system Intel P640/P5WD2 Premium and it run fine, there's no issues regarding the ram.Quote:

amazing bachus
thx for sharing and for all the test my friend ;) ;)
want to ask you at the screen that you have from the bios of the m2n sli what the "chipset standby core votlage" do?

@ guess2098,
Thanks, man! Well, one pic is missing because I don't have it yet :lol: :p: I will put it up later, though...
@ JohnMike,
Well, I should have put my 1T observations in a different way... I can run 1T as long as and only at low HTT, e.g. 200x10 DDR2-800 1T (mem freq DDR2-800) is fine but not 240x10 DDR667 1T (also mem freq DDR2-800). In other words, only at or near stock 200HTT, which is a bit useless. But As far as I heard, 1T/2T does not make a lot of difference on AM2, even in sensitive benchmarks, like Sandra or SuperPi
As for your PC shutting down after applying OC in BIOS... As I mentioned above and I guess you missed it, THERE IS a new BIOS for M2N-SLI Deluxe but you won't find it on ASUS website and I have no idea why. You can download it from my webspace here --> BIOS 0303 (06/09/2006). Use built-in EZ FLASH and flash at stock, please. It fixed few quirks for me (including shutdown when exiting BIOS on OC settings) and I think it will for you as well. It still has problems (of which I mentioned above) but it's better than inititial BIOS 0202.
@ tzitos,
I'm not sure what exactly it does and in what situation rasing is is helpful. I will try to find out more...
@ hag6br,
I was thinking same thing, but at least my set of F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ worked flawlessly at default 1.8v. There is something else in SPD that needs to be re-programmed and as I mentioned above as well, G.Skill will do it, in case particular set does not boot on AM2 platform.
Thats some impressive budget OC'ing on air (almost a 1Ghz OC!! used to seeing that kind've OC on a P4 not a A64), if it wasn't for Conroe I'd buy a AM2 system in a sec. How much did you spend exactly on it?

i have never seen that think before and it has make me a little impression :)
I thought you were on crack when I read that Bachus, I downloaded that BIOS from their web site a few days ago when I got my M2N32-SLI but your right, now its gone!Quote:

Big thumbs up for Bachus hosting this 0303 BIOS, if your getting a bunch of traffic, fire me a PM and I can help with a mirror on one of my servers (ie. plenty of bandwidth available).
Speaking of M2N-SLI, does anyone know if Asus M2N-E (570 Ultra) shares the same OCing/tweaking options?
The board itself looks more-less the same as SLI version.
Id like to know aswellQuote:

It is only available on the global website. The US website does not list any Bios files at all. :mad:
for the M2n-SLI deluxe, still no bios files
Sweet... I'm buying that ram... nice to know it's awsome. I was going to get the MSI k9N SLi Plat, but I've decided to try the Abit k9N SLi instead.
Looking nice tho! Also, how's the compatibility w/ heatsinks and stuff with sAM2? You seem to have the 64 pro on there w/o a problem...
Every heatsink that uses standard retention mechanism for s754/939 will fit AM2 also.Quote:

Hey! :)
There are new results in my initial post, under JUNE 22nd UPDATES! for MAX fully stable DDR2 8-4-4-4.0 clocks reached so far ---> DDR2-1120 @ 2.5v with G.Skill F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ! It betters my previous DDR2-1068 result thanks to some experiments with Drive Strenghts as well as switching to Yellow slots this time :) Pretty sweet clocks, don't you think? :)
Also, there is a new BIOS 0304 (06/15/2006) on ASUS website. In case it's down I have it hosted here as well. It did not fix "death syndrome" :) after Restart when OCed and I have no idea what it fixes then :(
BTW, I have started a thread in Xtreme Motherboard Vmods and any help finding vmods for this board is appreciated... I really want to see DDR2-1200, fully stable at 2.7vdimm :D
I must say, I'm quite surprised at how well this board overclocks, really :)
Max HTT updated at the bottom of the 1st post :) Man, I think I'm done for now :lol:
:peace:
ooh thanx for that one...i will have the same setup so i hope to bump mine to at least 2.6Quote:

i think vcore is too high for 2.9ghz if aibooster is the right one..well good tests,thanks..
It's a beta version I got. I'm not sure If I can distribute it so I think we should wait for Franck to officially release it...Quote:

ah ic....ya hopefully it will be release soon. i cant stand that my lil 3500 is being displayed as an X2.
never be done! i propose a bit of a challenge. i'll say now that this is the very very highest i've been able to do on my msi k9n plat. i want to see you beat me, since that asus seems to have fewer issues than this msi board ;)Quote:

This is MAX bootable, limited to MAX available from BIOS. Also, only possible at multi x5 so far... At multi x6 and x7 it tops at ~380Mhz and I did not manage to figure out how to take it higher yet :)

let us see 450 now heheheheh
:up:
impressive. i've gotta figure out how to get the rest out of my board :p:Quote:

i'll put in some more time for testing soon. i've been busy trying to make myself a benching case ;)
Does anyone know if my Thermalright XP-120 will fit on this motherboard?
