    Lovely. I put the board on phase figuring my opty is quite well burnt in. Turn it on freshly made single stage unit (well, it was made about a week ago but I was too sick to do anything) figuring I will charge tune the single stage as I go with this board only to find with my optie 175 (dual core), I am limited to 1.475v as my max v-core. I guess I really need to start digging for 50k vr so I can v-mod both A8N32 and this board. Bios read out for voltage is a lot more accurate than on A8N32 and I can trust the value it gives out for voltage (so if you are used to DFI NF4 Ultra, etc, subtract about .05 volt from what you see on software reading, bios reading, etc to compare voltage you are on for v-core). Funny thing is, I can't really tune my single stage with this as
    #1) 1.475v dual priming doesn't even start dent my temperature on my single stage to even know what is going on.
    #2) I see 45c right when windows boot up with the asus probe thing. When I dual prime I see 25c. Hmmmmmmmmm..... Wonder if there is supposed to be - in front or what....? Since I have no valid way to read core temp... it's all guess other than evaporator temp I see.
    Interesting board to say the least. In the end, I guess only thing matters is how it overclocks. Which I won't really find out till v-mod is done.

    PS) OKAY... 45c is -45c based on speed fan.... wtf.... My evap temp is only -53c...? Seems like to me temp reading is bit different than what I am used to on DFI or this optie is reading temp bit better than my x2 3800 did. Anyways, I will have to just keep investigating to find out how Asus reads temps. It might be back to the p4 time when abit reads temp about 10c higher than asus did and no one really knew exactly why kind of time.

    There's a good possibility that you won't need a master card for R580 cards..

    Huh? new bios enables more v-core? Regardless right now, v-core is limited for Dual core optie at very granny 1.475v. Surprisingly the bios read of v-core is dead on accurate. Scarey. I just did v-mod tonight and put it back in phase and dual priming at 2.9ghz with my optie now. 25k ohm on pin 8 just as in A8N32 works fine so far. I wouldn't recommend anything lower than 25k though for v-modding as I saw instant 0.03v gain with 25k ohm at full 25k ohm already.



    BTW, thank craig for v-mod as he did it first in A8N32 and all I did was copy it over. I've quickly tested up to 1.65v right now just playing with 1.5v just to get feel of how my optie handles...

    Yeah,this is sweet. I would much rather the mobo manufactures keep bios's at safe vcore and vdimm,and let the true overclockers have their fun with vmods. Keeps the n00bs away.

    Never use software for Voltage readings! Always use a Digital Multimeter.
