not bad at all
Nice to see you are posting here too Bootsy :cool:
At least this board doesn't suffer from not taking enough HTT
cpu-z validation
SuperPi8M @ 400HTT
[QUOTE=Zebbo]Nice to see you are posting here too Bootsy :cool:quote]
I couldn't have made without your tips Zebbo! I want to try for 400:)
I love the board, no issues at all... I initially flashed to bios 0311 but I still hjad to go in baby HTT steps for overclocking, but now I've found a sweet spot and it boots up no problems. Also, when setting an incorrect memory timing, it automatically boots up with safe speeds while bios settings remain.
300 HTT with 5x LDT doesnt boot though.. with 4x it does, so I'm sure I can run 350HTT x 4 or something. Opty 170 at 275(x5)x10 right now, and 2GBHX @ 250 3-3-2-8 (the 183 divider).
Just POST takes a relatively long time: initializing my usb-hub takes about 10-15 sec plus I'm using an all-in-one 5.25" front thang with cardreaders and usb, firewire, sata, fanctrl etc, so I'm using like almost every internal and external port on the mobo - 2 sata, 2 ide, 1 fdd... but no CrossFire -_-
Probably a newb question, but is anyone having any luck with the 216, 233 etc mem dividers on this board?
As soon as i try them my RAM clocks back to 120mhz, it's Corsair 4000pt so its rated to 250 and i have the 404 bios.
Cheers
I use the 250 divider to run my ram at stock(ddr500) when trying to oc my X1900xtx works fine. htt= 200 ram = 250
I'm running the 0404 BIOS and I'm getting CS:Source errors, just as I did when I had the 0311 BIOS. Originally it would stutter every 5 seconds and lock up, now I just get the ubiquitous "Instruction referenced memory" error as soon as it loads. I reset to defaults, cleared CMOS, and reformatted, and now with a fresh install it's still happening. Any tips?
Have you switched PEG-link to disable? I remember that Zebbo said something related to that. It's same place in bios, where is the oc' (if i remember correct it's oc 10% etc.) for graphic card.
Hope you get it running, somehow my rig works, only thing is the BF2 connection issue, I wrote to the other A8R32-topic. Hope someone knows how to help me too :(
Edit. This is not fact, but I have this feeling it was related to that PEG OR P2P... I have both on disable.
Hi guy,
have you noticed ClockGen support for A8R32-MVP?
It's also possible to change Memory Channel Skew Control.
Using ATI System Manager I read here
is also possible to change Memory VDD :)
Do you know a link to download ATI System Manager?
Edit: ATI System Manager only work with Sapphire.
anyone running 3GB with this board? i cant get it to post even with 2T and relaxed timings?
I solved my problem too!! :banana: :toast: :banana: :toast: :banana:Quote:

Finally got my A8R32 board stable. :banana:
Now at
3.1Ghz (Opteron 146) {3Ghz Prime95 stable at only 1.4v}
2Gb (2 x 1Gb) Corsair Memory @ 280Mhz (560) (1T)
SuperPi = 27secs.
:woot:
well just for the record I had some issues with lag/jittering until I flashed to the 0311 bios. Ever since then, absolutely no issues. CS:S runs flawlessly, when I OC'd my 3700+ I didn't take baby steps until near the end trying to find my max (limit if my chip is 3.86GHz) - this board has been rock solid since the bios update (except when I pushed the CPU too far, but that isn't the mobo's fault).
Asus could add more memory dividers .. 133 and then 166 only is not enough, i use 150 over A64info and it works nicely, but i want that all the time not loading profile everytime i run windows :-)
from what I gather, this board does not like G.SKILL memory. I have the 2GBHZ and am getting cold boot issues and failing prime when I am pretty sure my CPU can handle it. When I prime at 2.6ghz, (1:1 ratio) it immediately fails with what looks like a memory error, So I drop the ratio to 183 divider and that sets the ram to about 236mhz. However, prime is still failing right away at 260htt x10 multi x4 ht link. ANyone else have this memory on this board and have any advice for timings? Currently running 3-4-4-8.
I also have G.Skill memory in my A8R32 and I can't get it stable for the life of me. I know the memory is good because it worked in 2 other systems for months and didn't need 3-4-4-8 until 315 MHz, but in this system, even with a new CPU, it wants 3-4-4-8 and 2T at stock!
I have G.Skill memory and aside from the fact that it won't OC worth anything - I was too cheap, stupid me :slap: - and I have zero problems with it. Ram is pretty much at stock speed, with timings at 2.5-3-3-6 1T
Aside from the bios problem which was fixed by an update to 0311 I've had zero issues with this board. I'm guessing I'm one of the few...? :confused:
g.skill HX doing juuust fine here :)
2GBHZ has worked fine here...
So..After reading all the posts...Is there a hope for a "good" bios???Or should I buy Dfi Xpert.
