I got a nice DI tube that might get your point across better and would require less swings :horse::D I'm on the fence about getting this board, one thing I have not noticed is any high clocks under DI with phenom 2, other thing is onboard would be nice ( would like to knock out a record with the onboard under DI ), last but not least I see the manufacuturer's starting to re release models as we get closer to launch.
I finally decide to upgrade from my K8V and order a M3A79...now an M4 :(
I haven't even gotten my new mobo to play with yet...stupid post...
Since it uses DDR2, it's more likely that only 2 components got tweaked.Quote:

2. BIOS. (Is it now good?)
Of all the reports coming in of high OC's on DI i have yet to see one on this board.......just because the PWM is large doesn't mean its good. Iplementation is far more important.Quote:

after reading about most with 5 pwm going pop I and gotvoltage putting 1.650 volts threw this board and his chip. it's definitely not a bad implementationQuote:

Not to derail but I'd really like to see what it does under alot higher than 1.650, As much as people hate the giga GX board it looks like at least one of its saving graces is/was its 5 phase handling the abuse AMD gave them at those events at 1.88-1.9v while looping crysis.Quote:

Cheapest I7 has at least an 8+2............. http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=179
I'd be really curious to see wattage consumption comparisons on platforms with equal PWM stages.......usually larger if implemented correctly are more efficient.

Thank you Chicken Patty
3.2GHz Bootable , Boot to OS ok
So far so good
I don't want to go too high on voltage as it's Air cooling setup only ( Ultra 120 eXtreme )
Just a little update
3.2GHz @ 1.45V can't pass SP2004 Orthos Stress Test ( 15 min Max and the overheat protection kick in?)
CoreTemp show 67C before the crash / shut down
In the end , suicide run completed for now
I will wait for Phenom II 940 and try hitting 3.4GHz again later.
And finally I can run DDR2-1066 with 2 pairs of RAM (CPU-Z detected 3 GB RAM @ DDR2-1066 Unganged "Dual Channel" mode , weird )
It was partly the wrong BIOS setting , I should keep the RAM setting and gang/unganged setting to "AUTO"
Good birthday present for me , 6GB @ DDR2-1066:D
are you on 32 bit os?

edit. What the hell? Now im in vista with 3.25GHz@1.45Vcore and running stabilitytest now at 10mins and no problems at all? "5"#%"#¤€! windows XP oh crap all that testing .. It has to have something to do with my old old windows xp installation which I had my previous system(asus a8nslipremium&165opteron) .. damn. this really opens some new windows to my cpu! ;) hope. I mean I havent never got this thing to run stabilitytest even at 3.125GHz .. now 3.25 and no problems.
edit2. now 3.25GHz@1.4Vcore and 52C at load.. still it seems to be stable.
no problem bro, anytime :). Just keep an eye on your temps bro.Quote:

1.45V 3.2GHz should be ok ( SP2004 Orthos did run for 15 min )Quote:

and the system auto- shut down / BSOD after reach 68C
For the mean time I will stick with 3GHz as my rig cooling system isn't good enough to keep it < 70C :shrug:
Well I will give it a try with my Vista SP1 setup laterQuote:

Your rig is never going to get as high as it does with Prime, thats why I dont run Prime. I run 3dmark 06 looped, or a 1024M wprime benchmark over and over. but prime is just nuts, i'm not trying to mess anything up!Quote:

Something is up..cause mine took a poop....Quote:

how many amps dose you power supply put on the 3.3 votls and 5 volts this 1200 watt I got puts 40 amps on both lolQuote:

Well, there are a few things. Auto express is on, you can turn CPU Tweak off. and you have to type voltage in manually. There are few other things.. If I get a sec(what is free time? anyone know?_) LOL.. I will get you my info I was using on my 9950. Or someone else will most likely post before me.Quote:

Yea its about time you picked one up ,,lol
I doubt your psu was the cause charged. I was running the sig equipment off a 500w seasonic for a year. total 12v amps is 33.........
Could have been, I had a great PSU ran grand for over a year, then boom! Blew my mobo CPU and GPU. Oh and itself :(
