charlie I wont lie to ya CH-5 corsair pc3200ll 1.2 2x512 and use 3.2v-3.4v with the cap mod from PSU like macci uses
1:1 all the way forget that 5:4 mess 13x255=3315mhz is your friend with 1-800mhz HT :)

I need the 3.3v direct mod for the A8V!!!!!!!!!
I'm gonna' try around 13 x 255, 1:1 on the BH-5.......the BH-5 programmed at 2700 were clean up to about 245 @ 3.13v running 5:3, now that they're being re-programmed to SPD 3200, I will be able to run them 1:1. But really need 3.4-3.5v to get 255 from these sticks. But I agree, 13 x 255 = 3315 at 1000mHz HT, 2-2-2-5-7-16......will put up some AWESOME Car High and Lobbies :D.
C
what suck though is 3250mhz fx53-940 with 9800xt and old 3.5 cats scored
170+ car high
202fps lobby high
but now these new cards x800p/x800xt have to use the 4.4-4.7 cats so it will take about these same fx53-940 clocks on 939 to get the system scores you would have got with the 940pin+9800xt+3.5 cats :(
I still think a driver mod should be worked out so get those system tests back up to par with the 9800 line :)
then
180 car high
220 lobby high :eek: :eek:
well im wait'n on a x800xt to get in stock and for JP to send me my damn V5! 250x11 1:1 on water will be about all its good for without one of those ocz boosters or a vdimm mod. Im going to wait i think untill the dfi nf3 ultra comes out and see what its got for vdimm, if its got 3.2 or so i'll take a shot on it and see if i can break into that 260~275HT 1:1 and 2800ish mhz. one way or another i'll have a x800xt ordered monday/tuesday and i'll have it thursday/friday with some 30k runs.
Because in the u.k. I haven't seen anyone with a functioning set of locks on the A8V yet:mad:Quote:

Legion - im in the UK and i'll have a A8V in a week, i'll post to say if it has the lock on it.
...and hello everyone, my first post :cool: sorry to bother you all with my first post but can some one help me with this being as you guys seem to be some of the few people i can get a good answer from...
i need 2gb, should i buy two 1gb memory sticks for the A8V to have 1T enabled, or should i buy four 512mb sticks? i think i would have to have 2T then? which is slower... but the two 1gb memory sticks would have slower timings like 3-4-4-8... what would work out to have better performance??
I tried 4 corsair xms3500c2 512mb sticks and could only get it to work with 2T enabled. I'd suggest running two 1gb sticks if you really need the 2gb.Quote:

Just got my shippment from Newegg three days early...wow. It's a CAACC stepping. Has anyone noticed a differance in performance between any of the steppings? UPS ground says my board won't be in untill monday. :mad: Hopefully it'll be here by Friday atleast.
Here are a couple of new benches. Nothing spectacular like what the phase change/cascade guys are getting, but not bad either for 2640MHz. :)

Sounds nice and fresh.......
what is it, about 0421-0422??
C
WELL, here it is guys........
Some of you have asked for final pic's of the Vcore and Vddr...
So here it is! Remember I'm NO Hell-Fire, so don't hassle me for the noobish quality of my mods :D
First the Vcore:
and the Vddr.....
now remember, you HAVE TO pull off R167, and solder a 100 Ohm VR to it's solder pads. Set the VR to 20 Ohms to start and adjust from there. Careful though, voltage climbs QUICKLY!

now remember, you HAVE TO pull off R422, and solder a 10K Ohm VR to it's solder pads. Set the VR to 2.15K Ohms to start an dadjust from there. This mod only works when the Vddr is set to 2.8 in BIOS and then it will allow Vddr up to 3.13-3.15v. Any more than this and the rig will CRASH and LOCK and FREEZE. Next mission: find direct 3.3V wire mod from PSU to DIMM's.... or wait for OCZ gadget :D
Thanks charlie,
I'll start on it ASAP!:D
Everything Should Be Here In a Few Days!:banana:
Just got home and checked the date, it's 0418
interesting....that's a stepping I've never heard of.......Quote:

will be intersting to see results.

Those mods are nowhere near newb in design bud.
Those are very nicely done indeed.
I give you 2 :up::up:.
thx.....
I am not as familiar with these boards, but I take it running a wire on the back of the board from the 3.3v rail pin to the Vdimm solder point on the dimms is out of the question??
I answered your PM as well with a different idea.
Talking about steppings... checking the fotos I took of my FX last night... I think my stepping was CAABC 0420... any good do we know?
That's the same as mine, CAABC, 0420...........Quote:

CAABC 0418 here. (retail) Tried an OEM CAAEC 0422 which was not as good. I think the one that starts with an "S" is the best overclocker of the bunch, but they seem to be rare.
uhhhhhhh . . could it be because I had 2 dud A8V boards in a row and an Abit AV8 with no working multis and I am more than a little (I could have said "a bit", but I am in no mood for puns) disgusted with the way these via boards were sent out pre-maturely.Quote:

I'll have my reprogrammed BH5 back in about a week...
I'm thinking about going to Fry's today and getting 2 x 512mB sticks of OCZ 3200EB (they don't have 3500 or 3700) and seeing how it does. Then I'm just waiting for an X800xt and THEN I'll make some noise :D But for now, I don't know WHY someone would go the the GB board??

xgman,
yeah, you've had a bad time, certainly. Asus did a bad job with this mobo. All the boards in Europe are bad and the USA "OJ" models seem a bit inconsistent. Mine is the latest one on XS.Org, an OJ3276....maybe the latest ones are best?
C
ok... so I got all my setup running with my Mach II... I started clocking the other night and noticed that my FX wasn't performing as I'd liked... 2.7-2.8GHz max on the Mach II.
So I had the down thought that I may have a bad chip... so a little disheartened I settled for 2.75GHz..
.. then today I was monitoring things.. and my vCore jumps from 1.856v to 1.776v... this is with no volt mods and the vCore set to max (1.8v) in the BIOS
any known issues with similar things??
ALSO: I'm from Europe... and my board has no locks :(
tc,
well get the volts down! At 1.7 it should be good for 3gHz.
try to eliminate the cpu as the bottleneck. Boot up at 14 x 200, is it ok? Try 15 x 200 @ 1.7v. And where are you getting voltage numbers? The asus probe? that thing is complete garbage! Read from a molex :D
What's your complete setup? And with no locks the board will limit your fsb OC. Try the high 14x multi and go from there, 201, 205, 207, 210, etc...
PLUS, what temp is your m2 set at before it boots?
