Someone needs to start a thread on this board in the extreme overclockers board or the AMD.. That way more people will see how good this board is and we can get more insight on bioas updates.. ect..
heh i've been wanting 2 but have been busy lately.

I will leave that to someone that actually has it...like me tomorrow :D
I was thinking the same thing when I saw how many people were still buying the msi board.
if i ever get my prommy back i will post something in the overclocking section. the damn post office lost it. it was on its way to get gassed to r507 by chilly1 and never made it :( some day it will return.
The newest over at AOA. BUT... I think it's just a fluke with ClockGen. Setting the voltage to 1.55v via CG sometimes makes 1.8v available in the BIOS. I lost the option last night after I posted but I'll look back into it tonight to see how/when it does it.Quote:

AAAHHH!!! Holy god that sucks! Did you insure it?Quote:

So Jeff, you like the most current bios? Some people over at aoa were having bad temp readings and were flashing back, but that isn't a problem I care about.
I'm sorry but through everything i've read and learnt over the few weeks i've been interested in A64, (i'm goign to get this board)
i have come to the conclusion that A64's cannot take high Vdimm, over 3.0v, the onboard mem controller just fries, killing the cpu, now the cpu's are a lot mroe expensive than the boards and people shoving 3.7volts through such an expensive chip is insane, i'd like sure confirmation that my chip will not fry if i stick 3.3v through my 3500EB, can anyone confirm this? (more than one person preferably)
Regards...
Re-read this thread as you will learn the issue with the shuttle frying chips was because of adjusting the vdimm in the bios. I have had great results with a high vdimm on this board as well as plenty others.
ive had 3.45v pumping through my 3500eb since this boards release. no problems whatsoever :DQuote:

Which bios do you guys suggest?
Haven't had any temperature problems. And it's at least as stable as the June 16th BIOS. I'm testing my crappy "new" week 51 of 2003 chip right now and it seems very much like that BIOS except I get a little more HTT for the voltage.Quote:

Play around with ClockGen. I think what you have to do is boot with 1.7v via the BIOS and then set CG to 1.55v. That works for me.
Sometimes you'll actually get the 1.8v option in the BIOS. I haven't found any pattern to when it shows up though... :confused:
It seems like the high vdim killing cpu's isn't an issue with this board, so you should be fine at 3.3v. Those are 1 turn, so they are realy sensitive and can move if you bump them pretty easy. My local radio shack has the ones you are looking for, so you might have better luck driving to one.
Does anyone know what program I can use to check the 5v and 12v rails on an 8kda3j now that mbm will no longer be updated?
potentiometers, and they should be a drawer with resistors and other things like that.
You should use the middle pin and either one of the outside ones. Whichever outside pin you use, it will change the direction you have to tun the pot to increase of descrease the resistance. Just make sure to messure that the pot is at 10 with the pin you pick and which way you need to turn.Quote:

Also when i soldier the wire from the pot to the chip to the mobo i solder another wire on the other Pot pin to the Screw hole on the mobo ? I guess that grounds it ?
Oh and where are these people getting those blue heatsinks they have on the Mosfets ?
Yeah if you put the ground to the screw hole it will ground it if its in a case, if not, im not 100% sure if it will ground. You can just find another ground on the board or just stick it in the black wire of a molex or something.
The 1.85v bios is somewhere on the AOA forums, ill try and get the link.

Yes it will still ground even if its not on case.
did my vdimm this way, made me curious now though
I tried to on mine as well but didnt seem to work, I didnt solder it down though, i wanted to just hot glue it but that didnt work. neither did tape just i just stuck it in a molex. Ive already soldered the hot pin so right now im really confused why i didnt just solder that too :confused:
So your fo sho it works with out a case?
well i didnt have a brass thingy or a screw, worked fine, not sure how though lol
Did it this weekend and yes, they ground even when not in a case. So far doing 2.5 with an a64 3000 with 2- 512 sticks of geil @ 3.0v on the mem. Liking this board alot so far:)Quote:

hows the 3000+ doing? may get one, not sure, 2.5 @ what voltage? fsb/htt?benches?
Anyone manage to get a lower mult then 8 on this board? If so what bios?
