    Hmmmm, not something I know how to do. When I first got this motherboard I had to flash the bios due to some issues with the dual channel memory. At that point I had to set some of the timings if I remember rightly but I've no idea how to start troubleshooting them in order to get a stable system at a higher FSB. Presumbaly by finding a happy medium as far as the timings are concered I will be able to get a better overclock?

    Does anyone know of any good primers or docs that refer to setting timings manually? In the mean time I'll have a look around the DFI site and see if I can find any more info on there with them being the board vendor.

    Thanks again

    Most of the settings are specific to your ram/cpu combo. A64 tweaker is windows friendly.
    A couple of settings are different for these opterons. Read preamble and one other im not awake enough to think of.
