Not sure. It depends on luck. I have a very bad winnie. And I still reached 2300 @ 1.550v (keep in mind that A8V undervlots and the voltages have a tendancy to "jump" around as well ... I usually have ~1.520v, but on ocasions it drops to 1.502v or jumps to 1.550v). As a general rule I try to keep my CPU temperature (in full-load ... I get that by running 4 x BURNK7 at the same time) under 50C. And keep the HTT under 1000 MHz. If you go beyond 260 MHz it would be wise to chose 600MHz for the HT multiplier.
You will most likely have to set higher timings for your RAM in order to go 1:1.

Have my memory set to 2:1 DDR 400. Any ideas guys/gals
What can I do now to go higher :stick:
You might have a very bad Winnie as I do. Disabling AGP Fast Writes doesn't seem to do anything for my OC. With or without it the results are about the same for me.
Your PDP is TCCD baset, so you should try setting the voltage to only 2.7v and maybe try a higher TRAS (8 instead of 7). Also I have red about people who had problems with this memory on the A8V. Maybe try HTT600 as well.
And I don't really know how you got to 2.3 GHz (what multi were you using ? 9.0 ?).

You could try to go with 9.0 multiplier. And to eliminate the memory issue set the 3:2 divider. That way you'll get 200 MHz for the memory only when you'll reach 2400 MHz with the CPU. See if this way you can push the CPU further. If not ... than you probably hit the limit of the CPU.
I made it to 2.37 GHZ with these settings. This memory must have a grace period before the loosen up or something. I say this because I tried the same settings when I first bought them and couldnt go over 2.3.
10 X 237
DDR 400 setting (2:1 in A8V bios)
800HTT
2.7Volts
AGP fast writes on
1.525 VCORE
Passed 24hour Prime95 stress test.
Everest Read 6900 Write 2800 Latency just below 40NS.
I dont think I can get it any higher. Using a lower multiplier I dont think i would be able to push it past 2.4 because this memory is only rated to do 533mhz(PC4200) so......................... 266 X 9 = 2394
Ratings are done to be broken :D ... afterall the OCZ Platinum Rev.2 with TCCD chips is rated at only PC3200 ... and there are people who run it at ~280-290 :D .. so you'll never know unless you try. If it will be able to work 1:1 with a high FSB than you'll gain more performance from the same CPU frequency.
I tried that, and meh memory wont go over 268. Oh well. I do think my processor is topped off thought. As fast as the price has dropped on these bad boys, Ill pop in a 3800+ in a few months and see how high i can go. WOooooT. Im sure my memory will enable meh to reach for the stars. On my old 2.8 prescott system, my max stable OC with some HyperX was 3.4ghz. With this PDP Patriot memory I was able to puch it to 3.6ghz on AIR(thermalright HS and Large fan) WOW! I cant say enought about this memory. It rocks, and so do these processors.Quote:

I have a problem - when I run games, mouse keybord/music playback slows down to unbearable levels(on old drivers), or just produces tons artifacts(on newest, hacked ones) or tons of BSODs. Prime95 and memtest are totally stable, I excluded faulty drivers (been reformating with different combinations for over a week). I also tried three different graphic cards, all have similiar problems, but only on my board (same drivers works perfectly on other computers). that would rule off faulty graphic card, Tested both 1009 Final and 1010.03 beta bioses aswell. Mobo doesn't have any physical damages.
Any suggestions to fix the problem?
Except trashing that f%&%&## piece of junk of course.....

It is possible. A8V tops out at ~280-290 MHz. I am waiting for the DIF nf3 for s939 to appear and depending on the results I might change the A8V :).Quote:

PM Sierra. He used to frequent here and is pretty knowledgeable about 939 platforms. I dont see alot of traffic through this puppy. Its your best bet.
Lads...
I cannot seem to get stable on this board when I set the memory to run any higher than 220/225 ? ? I have OCZ Platinum 3200 Rev.2 that have done 275 in a Neo2.
WHenever I set the tiimings to 2.5-3-3-10 (2.7v) at anything above 220ish I get BSOD or errors in Test #6 on Memtest (OCZ Support Forum tells me thats Mobo related).
I am using a SATA drive (Raptor) plugged into the "SATA_RAID 1" slot and have the BIOS set to Promise IDE MODE. Have I got the HD in the right slot or should it be in another one?
Whenever I get the BSOD, when I reboot, Windows tells me about my serious error and then conforms that it was a "Device Driver Error"?
Is this just the worst overclocking motherboard or does it just not like my RAM? Either way its annoying and means I cannot wait for the DFI Nforce3 AGP 939 board to arrive.. if its half as overclockable as the Nforce4 illbe happ :)
It sounds as though I dont have working locks or summat?
A8V have some memory compatible
New BIOS available : ftp://ftp.asuscom.de/pub/ASUSCOM/BIO...e/1011__02.zip
Will give it a try right now :)
EDIT : The first beta bios that I am not going to use :). It doesn't boot in dual channel mode :stick: . No problems encoutnered in single channel mode.
Already try 1011_3 mem cant 200mhz
1011.004 seems to have problems with Winnies as well. I can't set the memory to work at 400 MHz from the BIOS.
new bios 1011.005
this one seems to set the Timing at 2T, regardless of what you set in the BIOS. If you set the Timing at 1T from A64Tweaker it will work fine.
But then you would have to do it every single time............ right? I hit 2.38 with my 3200+ FYI. Heres my findings..................Quote:

that newest bios does definitely help with memory problems, if certain memory doesn't work with the board, this bios may help U :)
it helped me too, but it did still something wrong because i did have to reinstall windows after i put the same settings which was with the 1010.003 bios.
and well.. its going to the right way i think :)
ps. sorry for bad english :/
Not necessarly. You can set A64tweaker to make the settings each time you start windows. And anyway I never stop my PC ;)
I just bought one of these suckers real cheap to try out. Will it run something like 275x10 with TCCD and a good Winnie which does it on other boards? I am under impression 1008 bios is the best?
