M3A overclocking

[justapost]

On X2's this is true, it is coming out to be a great board. The Phenom needs more volts and it should be an o.k. board on it. I can hit 2.48 100% stable with the Phenom now. I can also now get my ram to 920mhz(all it can take). The Phenom will go a little higher but at the cost of to much ram performance to be worth it.

Justapost, I found that up to 1.35v on the nb helped, and 1.4 the system would not boot. For initial playing a nb multiplier of 6 worked and nothing lower, going lower required using the cmos jumper. I have not tried lower than 6 after changing other settings. I also see the system was stable down the an ht frequency of 600, and ~at 200!! That surprised me, the board shows promise on the quad if the bugs get worked the rest of the way out.

So the nb voltage is not locked upwards? I'm currently trying to find the minimum voltags for given frequencies with different cooling systems.
It's a little time consuming took me two days with the be2400.
Could you apply more than 1,55V to an k8 cpu? Seems to be another lock here.
Can be there is another one at 0,850V. At 1,8MHz my BE24000 required only 0,875V to be stable everything below resulted in an CPU-Overvoltag BIOS message.

EDIT: Tried 1,265V via bios for the nb but AMD power monitor shows 1,165V. Seems I can run triple core with 222 ref HT (2442MHz) stable and ~230 ref HT (2530MHz) as single core with 1,25V cpu/nb.
