Yes I get. What are you so upset about? I got really annoyed at you right now... were THIS close to asking what grade your in

Asking questions is what the forums all about

And by the way.... STARTUP FID, VID is in the Cool & Quiet section of the bios, and by DISABLING IT..... IT IS OUT OF FUNCTION! Goddamnit

So if it's that option you think I'm on and on about, then your wrong... setting VCORE messing up tcasemax values, now that would be something else

Upset? More like amazed at how much you beat around bush.
Asking question is good, asking question already answered and proven 100 times is idiotic.
I have best CPU from AMD in the world (CNQ Disabled)

Proven where? In this thread? Come off your pedestal already

My VID shows as 1.35 in coretemp no matter WHAT i set in bios, so it's kind of weird it's so proven

How would I look into avoiding SATA HD issues when overclocking on a 590 reference board?

This Brisbane 1.9ghz is a sweet one, it has no problem with orthos at 2.9ghz on stock voltage, but even with a lower HTT multi (3x) it still might currupt something on restart.

The confusing thing is that it doesn't seem to mind the DDR2 400 multiplier, but if I got to the 533 that's when I get a lot more instability, I don't see why my RAM would affect the SATA drive though.

The best way to avoid this is to find your best clock... the ultimate one, the one you want to run 24/7 on.... the install windows when using that clock... afterwards? DON'T TOUCH BIOS.... Don't even think about hitting delete on boot

That's the best way to avoid corrupting your windows install

And that goes for any board... hypertransport is a crummy corrupter if played with to much!

If you don't understand from this screenie, I have no clue how to help you.

look at the THREE VID controls/options in there.

VID Startup Value: EXACTLY what A64info reports as your VID, I changed mine to 1.1v(even with cnq disabled) and thats what it reports. If you leave it on Auto you will get either 1.4v or 1.35v -depends on chip.

VID Control and VID Special control I'm sure you already know.

Yeah, understand allright, but startup VID aint an option in my bios UNLESS I set C&Q active... since this actually is a C&Q option.... VID control I have and VID Special Control I have, understand them all perfectly... What I don't understand is why you want to let it start at 1.1V with C&Q disabled and an OC'ed cpu, that seems just loco... why?

Me doing that was to prove that VID in A64Info doesn't matter unless the person has it on auto, and yet it still doesn't matter. I have a CABYE 0543 Opteron 148, 1.4v VID (auto) and it did 3ghz stable with 1.45v. Many 1.35v VID (auto) Opterons can't do that.
So basically saying that that value really cannot be used to determine a better/worse chip. It's not concrete evidence.
