This is from the first page. "For those who couldn't get the vcore to over 1.58v, your mobo have to be either defective or it need bios update? I set the vcore to 1.40v and enable the v-core boost(200mv) and gets 1.61v instantly!! setting it to 1.5v with the vcore boost also gave me around 1.78v....not that I would ever use more than 1.70v but it's nice to know I can get close to 1.80v of vcore if ever needed.

Found a work around for CnQ and using a lower Multi then your chips Max!!!!!
Use this Program: CrystalCPUID 4.7.0.291 CrystalCPUID D/L The one you need is located under the LATEST SOURCE CODE Icon
Install your CnQ AMD Driver I used the on on Asus's A8N32 Page Version: 1.2.2.2 and Reboot
IMPORTANT: Make sure you Disable CnQ in your BIOS, if you do not system will lock up when you launch CrystalCPUID.
Run the CrystalCPUID Application, set it all up under:
File--Multilplier Management Setting
Below are My Settings:
http://members.cox.net/amk/CUID1.jpg
You then go under Function and check Multiplier Management....Now set your Power Management to Minimal just like you would do with CnQ....That is it. Mine has been working perfect, games, apps, prime, OCCT, and so on for over 3 hours without a hiccup.
If you want it to start up minimized with your system do this:
Open the folder that you extracted CrystalCPUID to and right click on the Blue CPUID icon. Select “Create Shortcut”. Right click on the newly created shortcut and select “Properties”. To the text following the words “Target:” add to the end of the displayed text a space, then /HIDE then another space, then /CQ. It will look something like this “...CrystalCPUID.exe” /HIDE /CQ
You then put this in your Startup folder. I just drag and dropped it in my START Button, ALL PROGRAMS, STARTUP section.
I have my machine running Minimum of 2156mhz@1.4V, Middle 2772mhz @1.53V and Max 3080mhz@1.65V. My multis go 7X, 9X and 10X. The program has a realtime clock checker under the Function Tab and it is pretty cool watching how fast it adapts.
Good luck and let me know if it works for anyone else :toast:
This is not true for all of us. My max is 1.65 no matter what I have set in the bios with the Overvolt enabled. I am running 1103 and all the bios's (for me) have had the same outcome.Quote:

You solved a problem that pazzled me a long time now.
How did you set the Power managment?
For CnQ to work we normally have to set it at Minimal Power Managment.
Is it the same with CrystalCPUID?
As you know I was trying to work around the problem with the vcore myself without success.
When CnQ is enabled the CPU multi / vcore is locked to auto.
With a 4400+ CPU, auto means 1.36v.
I have already posted the way I fixed this in BIOS.
I set the FID/VID to manuall, changed the vcore to the desired value with the desired multi and then enabled the CnQ.
This way the BIOS always restarts to the values I want.
Whenever I want to change any BIOS setting I dissable CnQ fisrt, then make my changes and then enable CnQ again, save and exit.
The problem is that even though the BIOS reports the correct multi and vcore, this changes under Windows (even though the BIOS keeps the desired values I set).
So the problem is not the BIOS any more but Windows.
And with CrystalCPUID 4.7.0.291, I believe we are going to get what we want.
I think that setting both BIOS (the way I described) and Windows (the way CODE 4 said) at the same max FID/VID values is the best solution.
I did not try this program yet. For now I still get the same 1.36v under Windows and in case I enable CPU overvolt I get 1.36+0.156v=1.52v (see later on for this 1.52 display). I hope CrystalCPUID fixes that.
CPU overvoltage gives only +0.165v, not +0.2vQuote:

1,2480 1,4080
1,2320 1,3920
1,2160 1,3760
1,2000 1,3600
These are the readings though, NOT the actuall vcore.
This is why we see sometimes the reading to change between two adjustent values.
For example we may see the vcore changing from 1.36 to 1.376.
This is not real. The vcore doesn't change that much.
It is somewhere in the middle.
I think this thread should be sticky.
I has great info for anyone with an Nforce4 based mobo.
All I did was leave my max oc settings in the bios like I would have without every enabling CnQ. So I have it set to: 308x10 @ 1.4875 plus the overvolt, I did NOT enable CnQ at all. This way Crystal can manage it on the Boot. Just make sure you load the CnQ windows driver BEFORE you try to run the Multiplier Management tool of CrystalCPUID. If you do not bad things, my system would just lock and I would have to reboot. I found that by having CnQ enabled I would not get the max Vcore because it was regulated by CnQ in the BIOS. So by having it all on Manual it works exaclty like a guy would want it to. As far as Power Management in windows I set it to Minimal. Try this on your rig and let me know what you find out. I am very curious and have posted this elsewhere looking for other peeps input. GLQuote:

All I do is enable CnQ in BIOS, install the AMD driver and enable the minimal power managment.
This way CnQ works OK.
The only driver I install from the ASUS CD is ATK0110 ACPI utility.
Actually this is self installed the moment we insert the CD.
I think you do not need this driver.
I suppose you would get the same locks in case you change the minimal power managment to something else like desktop.
What is your vcore reading with clockgen?
Is it fluctuating between 1,6320 and 1,6480 as I said on my previous post?
What sort of CPU cooling do you have?
It is really kicking ...
This one: Version 1.2.2.2 (it says it is the Cool and Quiet Driver version 1.2.2.2 on Asus D/L page) Without it my CrystalCPUID did not work. CnQ would work, but if I had that enabled and tried to run Crystal I would lock up.Quote:

Just did a test and removed the above Driver 1.2.2.2. I think you are right it is Not needed. I must have had my Power Management set to something else besides minimal at the time I was figuring this out. I am running fine with it off the system, CnQ Disabled In Bios, and CrystalCPUID running my Multi's. Sorry for the mix up I thought not having the driver installed was causing my lockups.
I made one for mine, not as fancy as u surgest it plugs into the 3pins (robbed an old PC case of the jumper leads for the 'power switch' etc) then conects to a block connecter which I just unswcrew and move a little jumper wire across to clear the CMOS and then move it backQuote:

Thank you very very much :toast:
:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
I enabled CPU overvolting.
To get a max 1.392v I set 1.225v + CPU Overvoltage enabled in BIOS
and 1.225v on the program.
Maximum 11.0x 1.225v 5000ms
Middle 9x 1.175v 500ms
Low 5x 1.125v 500ms
The actual vcore readings are those above +0.165v.
I suppose I cannot set a multiplier over my nominal CPU value (x11)
My 4400+ has a locked multi and I do not want to risk that.
Did any one try it? :rolleyes:

Huzzaaayyyy!!! for CODE4 very neat solution bud :)
Hello, i need help :(
My system:
Athlon FX-60
Asus a8n32-Sli Deluxe
2x 7800 gtx 256 from gigabyte
thermaltak 680w PSU
4x 512mb DDR600
X-FI fatality
76gb Raptor 10,000 RPm HDD SATA
gigabyte 3d liqued cooling for CPU
optical drive
the system is not overclocked
Have everything up to date: windows, Bios, Card drivers Ect.
No one can seem to help me with my problem maybe you guys can.
3dmark06 i score is fine just with one card. When i enable SLI whole system will shut off at aftwer the test 1.
FEAR i average about 40 Fps highest settings on one card. If i enable SLI crashes Same Exact Part everytime. Whole system shuts off. Same with all games i own., quake4 ect
I am now bald from stress, been readin your guys forums for long time now figured i finally show myself in desperate need for an answer.
Please help guys
note:
sorry for my bad english
have u treid swopping the cards over and giving the slot thats goes into the PCI slot a clean at the same time?Quote:

Also which Nforce and Geforce drivers u using
whats the 12V rail reading?
Try a different power connector to the SLI setup - the one u r using might not be providing enough power
Hello
Just a quick question:
Can i use the OCZ DDR booster on my ASUS K8N_SLI PREMIUM motherboard?
and how can i work with my 24 atx psu?because my OCZ DDR booster is 20 pinATX
greetz, hope to have a answer real quick so i can use this new rig of mine
yo!

2) I ma using Nforce 6.85 + I have tried many other driver for the gforce but it is always the same problem , right now I am using 83.90
3) 12V rail reading is 11.98V
You might want to ask this question in a Thread that is not dedicated to the A8N32 Motherboard :stick:Quote:
