Hi Chaos

Can I ask what mobo and bios you are using...???

Just looking to put together as much info as I can to give to ASUS....

BTW: if it helps your 3dm06 score is about the same as my oc'd 6000+@ 3450MHz, with single 8800GTS 320mb @ 612/900 gfx card.....I'll have a look to see if I can find a screenshot of it for you to compare...!! I know its not stored in Futuremark ORB but I may still have an old SS of it...

Couldn't find one with the result details this is the only one I still have of it, my system at the time, was 6000+ @ 3450MHZ, 8800TS 320MB 612/900, 2GB DDR2-800 4-4-4-12 1T RAM @ 863MHz......just to give you something to compare.... after I added the 2nd 8800GTS for SLI the score went up to 12100, then when I changed to the 6400+ @ 3520MHz it went up to 12800, so not much improvement



Thanks..

Oh, sorry, forgot to mention that i guess

I have an M2N-SLI deluxe, like the OP
And i'm using the latest bios for that motherboard from the asus web site, the only one that will work with Phenom as far as I know

Version 1302 2007/11/20 update

Individual scores for your 3dmark06 would be interesting

@ AMD-PHENOM

Hey, whats you're take on this chip with the Errata Bug? Are you able to pass prime for 8hrs over 2.4ghz and if so at what point does the errata become evident?

I ask because I will be getting the D.F.I 790FX M2R and doing a write up and direct comparison towards my existing P35 Platform just wondering what chip to get for the board test 6400+ or 9500 but will not buy 9500 if the errata bug is there and its not Prime Stable Overclockable!

Yeah I been looking now to see if I can find an old SS, but havn't got one I'm afraid, and I deleted the project slots in futuremark ORB to make room for the 6400+ ones I ran, I can give you some of them if you like but they're all 2x 8800GTS SLI scores.... heres a compare url for my last score with the 6400+

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=3455900

Well it does seem as though the problem lies in the chipset then, as the m2n uses the 570 chipset, and the m2n32 the 590 chipset, so maybe thats what Asus needs to look at with the m2n32 bios.....though the fact it won't allow my RAM to run at its rated speed is also a bit odd.

My 3dmark06 score with the Phenom at stock is a very lowly 6173 which is less than half the score I was getting with my 6400+, allbeit OC'd to 3520MHz.
