I've got mine up and running. I wont start overclocking until tomorrow or so.
I've got a 3700+SD and a Thermaltake BT on there. Paired up with a 7800GT o/c'd to 460/1100 stock + 2x1GB OCZ DIMMs. :D
depends on what board your using, theres a different clockgen for each pll, and different boards usually use different plls.
check what pll it has and see if theres already a clockgen for it.
and there was an ati tool wich worked like clockgen for the grouper board iirc, maybe it works on this board.
huh? pll?Quote:

whats the highest you have been able to go 1:1, I am running into a wall, with my old system I was able to run 260x10 1:1, p95 blend stable, 2.6 is stable, but if I set it to 1:1 I get blue screens etc...
any ideas?
I was able to run it with all 4 dimms full.
NOt very good though.
In order to run the four dimms over stock you have to run 2t.
The board also automatically runs a divider for when 4 dimms are installed even if you use tweaker or the bios.
I have been able to get 300 1:1 with some gskill 4800la at 2.5/4/4/8
Well, finaly couldn't resist and got the replacement board up and running, she's a little more OC friendly and let me boot 295Mhz 1/1 but still not with 1T, right now it's priming @ 290 1:1 2.5 4 3 8 2T while i'm typing.Quote:

Damn prime just crapped after 35min, maybe some burnin' will help alittle.
Last weekend I sent this inquiry to cpuz@cpuid.orgQuote:

Do you have any plans to support S939 Crossfire motherboards, such as the

you anticipate before this support becomes available?
Thank you in advance,
and shortly thereafter received this reply from Franck Delattre
Hello,
I suspect you have a webcam in my room :-) As a manner of fact I’m currently working on this board. But I have some troubles with the Uli southbridge, and it does not work yet.
Thanks,
Franck
There may be something by now, or if not yet, I suspect there will be before long.
Anyone has Wesley Fink's from Anandtech forum email addy ? In a A8R-MVP thread over there, he said that we could email him to request for the modified bios that was used for their review on the board. He would then provide it to the sender. Can someone kindly help ? Perhaps then the file can be hosted and shared out to all board owners.

there run 2x256mb? I know that was a breeze on my abit yet it's also plagued by not reaching 300 1/1 at 1T with 2x512mb or higherQuote:

That would be cool :hehe:Quote:

I'll check this out.
Thanks for the test.

you have a look at a clock as a reference :D
the cpu does the same.
a quartz crystal creates a very steady pulse if you feed it with electricity.
thats used as a reference for cpus and all other hardware so they know when to switch the transistors on or off again.
the pll uses a quarts crystal refrence clock and multiples it until you get the exact clock you want and then tells the hardware to work at that speed.
basically the pll is like the drum on a dragon boat, the faster the drum gets hit the faster the people in the boat will move and the faster the boat will go.
Anyone have any advice on getting Cool & Quiet running?
I've installed the ASUS "Cool & Quiet v1.026" and enabled C&Q in BIOS, but it wont drop CPU speeds. Do I need some sort of driver as well, because there doesn't seem to be anything on the motherboard's CD I'm missing.
You also have to enable ACPI 2.0 in your bios and power setting to minimal usage
looks like wesley sent the bios out to everyone know.
time to flash!
I forgot, I had done that as well (enabling ACPI 2.0) as the manual suggests. But what's this about setting to minimal usage? Is that in another menu? Because once it's enabled, no "power settings" appear in that menu... thanks.Quote:
