My, my...now that sounds like a party indeed.
There are no specific Northbridge drivers. However you do need Southbridge drivers for things like RAID and audio. Everything you need should be on the ASUS support website.
No, PCI clocks are not linked to ALINK clock. In fact, depending on the board implementation, PCI-E graphics clocks are independent of all other clocks so if you raise them, nothing else follows.
Glad to see it's worked out for you. Increasing the PMOS and NMOS strengths will also help to increase margin on the link without having to increase the HT voltage.
This was just playing around for maximum HTT. Max HT link is higher than that.
Someone closed Titac's thread about RD580 HT O/C so I figured this is as good a place for this:

This is on a production Sapphire A9RD580 that I...
The CFX3200 uses a very low profile heatsink and relies on the fan spinning to cool the chipset. As mentioned, make sure it's mounted right and making good thermal contact.
Having said that, 50C...
The best way to do it is to try it out yourself. Sorry no references that I know of. You guys can start your own reference thread. :) The quickest way to skip through all the options and get a...
For high speed E die CPUs, like FXs and good Opterons, try something asymmetric with P drive being higher than N drive. On one FX CPU that I can remember Pmos = 4 and Nmos = 1 gave the highest...
The P/N MOS drive strengths control the overall drive strength of the CPU's Memory I/Os. This will only affect memory overclocking and nothing else. The earlier Rev CG and Rev D CPUs didn't have...
Use the ATI system manager...it is your friend and will tell what voltages you are running at...in case your brain has a lapse or you can't add. :) I use it all the time. :D
Sounds like the memory is giving problems now...time to tune it. I would first not touch the DDR Memory Drive Strength settings (Level 0-15) at first. First find the best DDR data drive strength...
If the board doesn't cold boot everytime at default settings then something else is wrong.
Try this and report back (make sure you are on the AMI bios and it's flashed correctly)
1) Turn off power
2) Clear cmos
3) Turn on power and start up the system
4) enter cmos menu
5) press F9...
It's getting hot because it's consuming a lot more power now. This is where the 4 phase power and heatsinked FETs really start shining. :)
What's wrong with the nec drive? Is it a master or slave? Any other devices on the same IDE channel?
What are you using to check tRef in windows? If you are using the tweaker, it's wrong.
You guys can leave the NB voltage at default for anywhere around 300 HTT. It will do that very easily at default voltage. If you raise the voltage all you'll succeed in doing is burning more power...
You could use a DOS bootable USB stick to reflash the bios. You don't *have* to use floppy.
Systool from Techpowerup works on the ASUS boards quite well. Michael has done a good job on it. You could use that.
The ATI System Manager has a lot of southbridge specific code, therefore it's not easily portable to motherboards utilizing a non-ATI Southbridge.
You guys are welcome. We will help out whenever we can.
I have been informed that Sapphire has already posted the updated version of the ATI System Manager.
Bigtoe will post the link to the beta version.
A couple of things to note, CPU temp is fixed. CPU VRM temp monitoring added. Also added visualization page that graphs temp vs time as well as...
This is not a bios update, it's an ATI System Manager update. Testing with various CPUs now, update should go up in an hour.
Some users have reported that on Sapphire's production version of Manta (A9RD580) the ATI System Manager is incorrectly reading the CPU core temperature. We have isolated the problem and a fix will...
