AMD probably loves it. Some people have gone through loads of expensive CPUs to get a good one. It's not a massive boost to their sales by any means but when you have people like me buying 6 CPUs in 6 months trying to get a bug free one they aren't going to complain.Quote:

Of course they did! Didn't you know the main draw of the Lan-party series is the glow-in the dark, UV reactive cables and slots? :p:Quote:

my 2 cents:
Thanxs Tony for this informative article on drive strengths. It makes things a lot more clear. Just to be clear, if any European users are still suffering from cold-boot issues after Tony's recommendations, then please feel free to drop me a line at support@dfi-europe.nl and I'll give it a crack from the motherboard end of things. For the North American's you'll have to talk to our guys in San Jose for help.
Do you mean coldbug as in cpu's not running high HTT at subzero (subject of this thread) or coldboot prob as in no boot with 2 sticks of RAM in ??Quote:

I can't go into OCing issues I'm afraid;) Stone Cold Jimi was having trouble with cold boot even at stock speeds a while ago and I was able to give him a hand. I know that the posters in this thread are refering to problems encountered when the system is OC'd, but I'm certain that there enough people reading this thread who are having issues at stock speeds as well.
you really think they made the lan-party series for people that run thier systems at stock speeds?Quote:

Tip of the Day: A good way around the cold bug is to use the stock hsf :DQuote:

Because of the unlocked multi you do not need high HTT like on the opteron.. Would like to see some FX's run over 330HTT at -25 and below.
