what opty did you order? ive been looking at the 1.8ghz AM2 opty. can get it for 215$ CDN. cheapest way to get a dualcore with 2x1mb L2 cache.

im interested to see what clocks you get from it.

That ram is AWESOME

[en4cer]

Nice choice on the memory man

[msimax]

i ordered the 1210 picked it up at new egg $169 same as the 165..i like to payless and get more so well see what happens

and i got this too gona mod it to work with my 939 rbx cooler

[msimax]

looks like i got a crappy stepping but will test on air first cause i got to mod this bracket

[msimax]

ok since im in virgin territory what should i shot for with the ram =timmings and volts

thanks

[msimax]

so far so good but i got my mem in sigle channel by mistake

[msimax]

ok please forgive for my posting but im happy with new toy
gonna run this to see if it is stable on air stock heatsink




THIS IS A GOOD STEPPING!!!

[Hey_Its_Cole]

The stepping does not look so crappy LOL.

[speed bump]

Come on try for more do you have a max on water yet.

[msimax]

@speed bump i have to mod that bracket and find a spacer that go under the board probably got call dfi and get one from the 590 series

i got my water cooler on but at 13c it does not boot so i unplug the water pump and it booted at 319*9 when over 17c is this a cold bug at that temp
if so this cpu stepping is for air only and i had it running at 3.1ghz last nite

funny thing i dont know if it is the board or cpu but it only clocks high when cpu is loaded after i quit prime it freezes but it can run prime for hours

[speed bump]

Ouch I hope it doesn't cold bug at 13°c

3.1ghz on air sound pretty good though.

Also the freezing after prime might be a bios or a windows issue. I had something like that happening with my back up rig and it turned out it was a known problem and I needed to update the bios.

@speed bump

you know what i think, this mobo has artificial overclock limiters in the bios.
i cant boot at 333*9 all i get is memory beeps at any ratio but if i boot 319*9 i can get into windows easy and then use clockgen all the way to 350*9 no prob

same thing with temps i can boot at 310*9 at 13-17c but not at fsb319
but if i pull the power on the water pump to raise the temps it boots. and the mobo is not cold booting it just boots back to stock which leads me to think somethings preprogramed into the so that when these condition are met it does not boot
im thinking maybe they did this so this cheap board doesnt clash with the landparty series performance or maybe im paranoid and need to rma and see if the next board does it

[Lestat]

son of a @#$^& you mean i gotta buy yet another adapter so my apogee will fit the DFI M2R/G
Q@#%)*U%_^ arrggg!!!!!
so much for this weekends project.

[msimax]
