Well wrap me up in newspaper and call me fish and chips! I do have the leadtek cards, will try to update the BIOS on em when I get a chance....any links to the BIOS and or a guide to flashing GFX cards...never had to do it before! :).Quote:

marios thank you very much , at least the problem is the ddr voltage . my system dont like ddr voltage set to auto , and when i set to 2.65 everything is rock stable and i have no problem :toast: :banana:
Hey guys got a question how hot can the MB chipset run without degrading itself or hurting performace. Mine is 40-50 depending on room temp.

I'll second that. The heatpipes work really well, even the slightest air movement across the board gives good improvement in MB temp. I read somewhere round here the best temps someone got were with their XP-90 with the include heat pipe fan, but I just thought I should point out for those that don't read manuals Asus says: "Installing the optional fan with an active CPU cooler will interfere with internal CPU cooler air flow and endanger system stability." Sounds like mostly BS to cover their asses, but something to keep in mind when placing it.Quote:

The memory is read - written in bursts.
This is done in one burst for every X clock beats, where x is 2-4-8.
So we may have
8-beat bursts of 64 bytes or
4-beat bursts of 64 bytes or
4-beat bursts of 32 bytes or
2-beat bursts of 32 bytes
32-Byte Granularity:
Auto =enabled
In single channel (64-bit interface to DRAM): 4-beat bursts of 32 bytes
In dual channel (128-bit interface to DRAM): 4-beat bursts of 64 bytes or 2-beat busts of 32 bytes
When we set 8 beats then auto=dissabled
So the best should be 64 bytes bursts every 4-beats or 32 bytes bursts every 2-beats (optimized data bus bandwidth for 32-byte accesses)

Okay guys I am havinng a problem on my DFI Expert i ran completly stock settings and my FX57 @ 200*14 and evga 7800gtx 512 @ stock scored 9060.
On the a8n32sli dlx im running 250x12 and i have a xfx gtx512 clocked at 600/1800 and it scores LOWER than my stock setup on the expert. what am i missing here

Chipset settings:
k8 to nb freq -4x
sb to nb freq - 4x
Ram:
Memlock mode - limit
memlock freq - 200
everything else can be seen in a64 booster in screesnhot and the tref is set to 7.8
I left the sb to nb freq in the jumper free config at 200
thats wierd. i'm running POV 7800gtx 512, Asus A8N32SLI and A64 3700+SanDiego@2750MHz (250*11) and i got 10366 in 3dmark05

Hmm did you touch the NB frequency in the jumper free configuation section>
what are your bios settings
Is the performance gap also show up on SuperPi? If so lets look at a bandwidth shot. If not, you can focus on the card and its set-up, possible video related bios options and drivers. Just swinging wildly here. ;)Quote:

Right. However when everything is set to auto the k8 to nb must be fx but my score is still much lower on a8n32 stock than on expert.
Do you touch the nb overclock freq in the jumper free settings or no?
Something is weird here. I think this board has a problem or something. When settings are in "auto" maybe they are not hte right settings for my rig or something
why is fsb 800?

Everything else auto
Defaults on this board edge on the side of safety/stability.
Make sure you have no applications running in the background when running 3d mark as this can affect score, although in your case I doubt it is affecting it that much.
yeah seems depressing when I just brought the a8n32.. but you have to remember how crappy the early bioses were on the a8n-sli deluxe so in a year the a8n32 bios problems should be fixed.Quote:
