Phenom 9500 w/ MSI K9A2 Platinum

[KTE]

Thx, I'l see what values I noted.

You said the VID is limited depending on your vcore setting.

Other way round, exactly.

If you want access to lower volts, decrease VID.
If you want access to higher volts, increase VID.

I believe the CPU and NB VIDs are mapped to the same range of voltages.

Have you checked MSR register C001_0071? Bits 48:42 are MinVid and bits 41:35 are MaxVid. I assume both are zero on the unlocked be.

Hmm..

SviVID codes are listed on page 29 in the AMD BKDG and are identical to your table.

Yeah, they're the same. We get 000-127 options too.

But they use binary=decimal VID values instead, which is of little use to us.



Have you seen this below BTW? This is why we were having boot-up problems with low NB DID then.



I wish they had unlocked HT downwards too! From >150 would've been good, especially handy when troubleshooting and limiting memory when testing through FID and DID combinations.

Guess it's easier to find the resistances connected to the FB and FB_NB pin of that pwm chip. NP

You sure?

Last time I tried I couldn't set NB Vid in bios though...

So you're using one of the new BIOSes I gather?

That's why I reverted to 1.13 BETA.

On this'an I'll test if DID works for NB or CPU.

I wish I could set NB Fid to 8.5x, but dividers (DID) don't
seem to work either... I tried NB FID=13 / NB DID =2, which resulted
in a no post situation.. Do you know if 1/2 multis are possible on the NB?

They are supposed to work you know, even 0.25 dividers are supposed to work and they are fairly simple options with PLLs, but for some reason both the CPU DID and NB DID options changed from 1 result in no POST IME.
