Phenom 9500 w/ MSI K9A2 Platinum

[informal]

Are you sure he said this?
Maybe total HT speed can be higher on one of those boards but HT ref. I doubt very much is possible higher than these boards, quite honestly. These 790FX are the best boards for AM2+ as they support dozens of options and technologies no where near and better than older AM2 boards. Those boards can't even change FID/DID/VID on CPU and NB. These should be clocking best in all aspects by far.

Yep,i'm sure.He didn't post anything else since then,i hope he managed to OC it higher on regular AM2.
Here it is,i've found it :

"OBR:i am testing phenom on old nForce AM2 mobo and results are many better then on this Gigabyte! I am sure this Giga mobo has serious error in PCB design ..."

Has someone reached HT ref. >265-268MHz with a 9500 on AM2 that you know of?

Nope,no one that i am aware of.

Hell yeah we need unlocked multi's! I think I've found a way for something here but not sure. Will try it out later...

Yep,BlackBox will be a definite hit if it carries the same price and has at least a potential of 3Ghz on air(provided we avoid the HTT issue with unlocked multies,which i am sure you confirmed with your tests and finding out that HTT clock wall on regular Phenoms)

EDIT: One interesting link for you KTE:

Keep an eye on this forum .They are usually the first to get new/BETA bios versions for MSI boards(on the net!).The topic at the top of the forum is about your board .Check out all the pages(it's in German unfortunately ). 4 files attached,total.

Nein, diese nat&#252;rlich nicht...die sind dem Performance-BIOS vorbehalten... No, of course not ... those are the Performance-BIOS reserved ... Freude

Which BIOS version are you you running now?
Hope this helps at least a little bit.
