    so just curious whats the fasted 1M time so far? I have a x2 6400+ that can do a 22.75 and wondering if a phenom will ever beat it.

    Time depends on clock speeds most, simple as that. If you want to see 1M times, then Wolfdale is the way because AMD is never been fast at it.
    Throw a 2.8GHz clock speed and get your best 1M and post it back.

    BIOS P0F: v.bad for oc

    *Problems:
    Only boots 1066 at 1.8V - runs nothing less than 1:2.66 divider
    NO CPU DID/FID/VID options anymore
    NO CPU NB voltage options
    NO NB FID/DID/VID options anymore
    RAM voltages still increment in 0.1V (In BIOS)
    CPU voltages still increment in 0.05V
    HT is set to 1.225V on stock bootup when its supposed to be 1.2V
    Low HT ref. limit.
    AOD oc'ing still freezes the system yet (even when downclocking from 2350->2300)
    Higher than 1.26 VID makes system reboot/unstable at stock frequency, higher or lower.

    What the heck MSI!

    *Good additions:
    At least boots 1066 and CAS3.
    TLB patch is user choice in BIOS
    Allows CPU/HT multi choosable in decimal figures
    Shows current CPU/RAM speed and DCT mode
    RAM voltages go up in 0.05V in AOD now
    CPU voltages go up in one lower increments between 1.24V-1.5V

    *We WANT:
    All the above *problems fixed please
    Boots 1.8V, why not 1.9/2.0V to allow more RAM compatibility?
    RAM voltages to go up in 0.025V
    Lower CPU voltage increment (not ~0.05V but 0.015V)
    Lower tRP tRTC tRAS options

    I've not had a Phenom boot since 14hrs now since flashing that BIOS and setting 200 13.5x (2700) @ 1.45V...

    How many of you notice that your Phenom (like mine) has a problem with high VCore/VID and high multi specifically?

    Meaning any of these at low CPU speed can cause a crash/no boot/freeze.

    Addition; you may also crash/freeze your system if you select a too low CPU/NB speed with a high CPU/NB VID. A balance needs to be achieved it seems.

    I'm good Bro, Crucial RAM sticks do 4-4-4-4 600 easy at 2.2V on P35, so 2.2V 1066 boots 3-5-5-15. I mean 1.8V 1066 5-5-5-15 boots perfect.

    ATM this BIOS doesn't allow over 550 on RAM speed, it just reboots. And it seems RAM can only boot 2.1V and its setting bootup stock speed as oc'd (below).

    Look at this for one core fluctuations




    This is what I said messes oc up badly.
