TC,
what will happen if you set the AGP/PCI lock in BIOS ?
No boot ? Just need someone to confirm this, because now i have the 3rd board from a third delivery with a 46MGO25xxx number, also with no AGP/PCI locks :(

My previous board, on which I suspect the lock is not working, will fail to boot once I enable AGP/PCI lock. Also, HDD will be corrupted once I set HTT higher than 225.
The replacement, S/N starts with 46, is working much better. It sucessfully boots up with AGP/PCI lock enabled and I can run high HTT (so far I tested up to around 245-250) with lower multiplier.
is it an "OJ" ? All others have no working locks, I'm afraid. If I were in Europe/UK I'd steer clear of early A8V'sQuote:

Well it managed 200x14 fine at 1.7v... but it seems anything above that needs a kick in voltage... but that kick in voltage gives me some lovely unstable voltages... last night ranging from 1.776v to 1.92v :S... well this is what CPU-Z was flashing at me...
... if I found the system crashing I actually lowered the voltage and the system would actually sometimes sit stable..
... max. I got it to was 2.75GHz :(
..o bout the Mach II... it's an ST... so I don't know.. I have a Mach II arriving sometime this week or next so will most likely swap everything over when that arrives and maybe a regas to get it nice and cold
Alright, got my board today and the serial number on the box is 45MGO71010. Makes me a bit nervous. I have no idea when i'm gonna have the time to even get this thing together to test the locks. Any speculations?
Stasiu,
That's a strange number.... not OG or OH or OF or OJ, Just "O" and then numbers??
What CPU are you running?
C
ok..on the m/b box there's a sticker on the front and in the top left it says "Serial No.: 45MG071010". Not OJ or O and any other letter, just numbers after the G0. I have an FX-53 with stepping CAACC week 0418. I'm anxious to get this set up...but i really don't have time. I'm not sure if i can even do it this weekend. We'll see...if i'm up for it i'll do it when i come home again tonight. I bought a new nikon 4300 but the damn thing had a dead pixel in the LCD and it drove me nutz. hopefully i'll get it back in a week and i can take pictures if you want 'em. BTW...i looked at the board quick and didn't see any serial number on it, where is it located? It just says A8V REV.1.02.
Charlie, I'm going to give one more a8v a try. maybe 3rd one is the charm. (omehow I doubt it, but...) I'm running out of choices though. ;) I ordered it form a distributer, so maybe it's a recent model. I am starting to think from my experiences with abit, that it may be a chipset revision by via and not some board implementation that can finally fix this for good. One thing I can say is that even without the locks fully working, the noard is way better than the NF3-939 piece of s***!
OK Guys,
I'm Back With AMD!:banana:
Please Tell Me That This MoBo/CPU Have The Right Codes.:)

Hallowen,
You should be IN BUSINESS, MY FRIEND :D

Thanks charlie!:D
I wasn't going to assemble Anything until I was SURE!
Time To Rock N' Roll!
:toast:
I got My FX53 today its a CAAEC stepping I've already removed the IHS. I'm just waiting on my A8V to get here. I never removed a resistor to do a vmod so I was practicing with a old board last night. I'm confident that I will be able to get the vcore mod done now.
Halloween, where'd you get that m/b from? I have a very sick feeling mine isn't going to have locks. It's drivin' me so nuts right now, i'm gonna start as soon as i get home and i don't care how long it takes. I need to find out if this board has locks or no so i can get one with locks. BTW...i have the same stepping and date FX-53 as you do.

I Bought the MoBo and CPU from Monarchcomputer.com because they were one of the few places I found that Knew what the H*** I Wanted when I Talked to them! :cool:
They did tell me that this MoBo has Locks, But I won't Know for Sure until I get it assembled and running!:D
Monarch is the best dude. They overnighted me a 6800 Ultra which I will have tomorrow.:D They are just the best, and their customer service is incredible! They also have stuff before everybody else usually.:thumbsup: I buy lots of stuff from them.Quote:

As for the locks I think you just asked Charlie and I think he said yes.:confused:
A little advice? Don't put anything that comes in an anti-static bag on carpet. Even more important, don't walk on carpet while holding them in your hands unless you live in Guam. You're just asking for trouble.;)
Yeah,That's Right!;)
charlie DID tell me it had locks, I just wasn't Thinking when I posted.(Trying to get the "Show on the Road" and concentrating on not making mistakes!) :D
hallowen is 100% ready to put up some officially amazing numbers! The mobo is right, the CPU stepping is interesting, it's a "GO" and ready for take-off!!!!!!!!!!
You guys aren't going to believe it, but i may SELL my rig, a guy emailed me and is offereing me well more than the cost, because it's a golden CPU and a perfect functioning mobo........should I do it?
C
C
Yep. Use the money to buy OPP's S940 rig.:ROTF:
No, sell the CPU to me. lol. j/k
If it were me, I'd sell. But what CPU/mobo would you replace it with?
charlie...
ok, probably stupid question....
the timings in your sig...what's the 7 and 16? I can't even find a memory option in my BIOS that goes up to 16...
7 is TRC and 16 is DRAM Idle Timer.
stevenmh,
here's the screenie
stormpc,
why he's selling it? wants fx-53/939 eh?
sierra bound,
I don't know what I'd do. I just have a h*** *n for new hardware :D
Charlie,
Yep. He says he can't handle the speed of the S940 anymore so he wanted something a little more tame and politically correct.;)
:ROTF:
SELL SELL SELL! ;)
