So, far, which board seems to be teh best for these OCs? I'm concerned about boards with 4-phase power as 1.45v Phenoms can draw much more than teh 125W TDP, say 200W+... Is this a concern with these boards?
Is the M3A32 comparable to the M2R?
The M3A is looking like my #1 Choice due to power management, though ASUS has a shaky past with me in regards to boards...
M2RS is only 4phase so :(.
considering i have 3.0-3.1 stable with no extra volts... i would think the m2rs is capable of doing the job :)
I wouldn't be so sure buddy... Let's see if the MOSFETS on your board are still alive after a couple months...
I remember a guy who tried to run a 6400+ BE on a K9A2 CF-F, the MOSFETS melted and the board fried after 2 days.
money isnt a problem for me :D :up:
How to spend it seems to be one. :D :shakes:Quote:

i was running 2.8 at stock volts but had a bad crash it was stable for a wild
but when belly up on me. It took about a day and a half to get back up and running again the OS didnt want to going in for some reason. I got it running at 2.7 and it running good .I see some of you post 3dmark-06 score so here mind form the frist night i got it up and running 3dmark-06 score 14320 that with 2 litte 3850 (256) in crossfire it posted out at 3dmark if you want to look it up.
Cool pass off:DQuote:

i own a computer repair shop :P :clap:
Like wise on PC Repair Business :) But Pass off any way:D
lol :D
get me to 3.5 and maybe :D
damn i thought i was stable @ 3ghz just got a bsod after the comp had been running for over 14 hours... i have changed the multiplier down to 14 and htt to 215 and it seems ok now.. still at 1.45 volts..

Maybe, what I'm about to say may sound weird, but using USB drives/sticks, etc., does strees in some point the CPU AND it also uses some unsane amounts of power (don't know if it's from the 5V or 12V line). I don't know if this is some weird driver issue on Microsoft's operating systems or something to the like.
I've being experiencing this weird issue whenever I plug a USB stick to my comp. Suddenly, my processor temp climbs to an astounding 40C (just with the USB drive) and when I unplug it, temps go down as low as 35C.
Damn that's weird but great that you tested and found out. This has to be related to the USB you use, right? Tried different USB attachments?Quote:

It's not necessarily the number of power phases you know, but actually depends on the quality of MOSFETs they decide to use as well as PSU and temps ;)Quote:

I was using rally drives and a M$ mouse, had to test the p5e3 all day with 1600EB's so no time for the Phenom but i will try to get back to it.Quote:

18K with Phenom at 3.4GHZ was quite easy 3D06 vista 64, so remember you would be seeing 19k maybe in XP, I will run most of my tests at 3GHZ CPU and 2.2GHZ NB as this seems where most end users are landing with Phenom 9850.
not bad, i got 11820 with 2.8ghz, OCed 3870 :welcome:Quote:

if anyone want to see pictures of the motherboard here you go

and btw the psu in my htpc is kinda ironic but well its a htpc and it wont be overclocked anyway
ok ive managed stable at 3.0 properly now htt 240 x 12.5 @ 1.36v nb and ht running at 2400 and ram @ 480x2. got 13070 on 3dmark06 now and ran prime for 5 hours without errors. i did however have to up the nb and ht voltage to 1.4 to get it to run without errors. I couldnt boot this fast at this voltage before... is there such a thing as running a processor in?! im going to try for 3.1 tomorrow then 3.2 my max temp under load is 48 and idle is 36
try get it stable at 3.0ghz first, run a overdrive stresstest or SP2004Quote:

The latest version should have NB VID support :confused:Quote:

the TPU! one is the latest, and get the engine fix toQuote:
