9500 running in M2N-SLi deluxe

[AMD-PHENOM]

Thanx all. I'll post back with results for any tests requested in a short while.

Would like to see:
Geekbench, SuperPi, Prime95 multicore stability test

will post results shortly bud.

Have you played with Vcore and what are the temps for cores under load @OC speeds.
Keep up the nice mini review

I tried a small increase to 1.45v but saw no improvement in stability beyond 250fsb. The NB speed is 22++mhz at that point so whether or not that is a problem for this mobo I am unsure.

I've been finding that with my M2N32SLI that there are some major issues with the graphics perforamance, and my current thinking is that it is a compatability issue, to do with the NB, PCI-E, HT issues within the BIOS...

I'd be really grateful if you can provide some insight into the graphics issues..

I've also been having problems with my RAM, and any attempt to get the RAM to run as rated via the SLI profiles results in a failure to POST...

I can't make any changes within the BIOS either, if I do then POST fails, do you experiece similar problems....

Perhaps if I try using the AMD OVerdrive, instead of the BIOS to make system changes then I may have more luck.....but I'm more accustomed to making these changes via the BIOS....

Appreciate any insight you can give into the above....

PS. Which version of CPU-Z are you using as when I tried 1.41 it didn't show a HT Link Speed, and neither did v.1.42, though v. 1.42 does dipslay the Phenom logo rather than the AMD logo..

I was using cpuz 1.41 until last night then changed to 1.42. I get a NB speed display under the memory tab in cpuz now, aswell as ganged or unganged info.

As far as nvidia epp timings on your memory, personally I've always had problems with those myself. I find my bios now displays different timings (4,4,3,12) as opposed to what I manually set (4,4,4,12) and I also have issue with restarts. I can make changes in bios ok, and restart.......I can cold boot np......but if I restart from within windows, mobo hangs on post regardless of speed/settings.

In relation to 3D performance, I am about to install a second 8800GTS in 5minutes and will be able to comment more in a little while.

How about running cinebench? I want to see +3GHz.

I ran cinebench mate.....I'll get to C10 in a while.

LoL...yeah...unfortunately my bank mangager disagrees and is forcing me to stick with this AM2 mobo for the time being.....!!!!

Sell your AM2 and get an MSi 790X for much cheapness.
