The best I've gotten so far with any stability (not really stressed) was 2.76Ghz (240x11.5x8x8) using AOD, those setting would not boot windows when set in Bios though...Looks like 2.7 may wind up being doable, while my best stable on the MSI board was 2.5...
So far it looks much better than K9A2, I can boot at 13x multi now.
To be fair to the MSI board, I never really got a chance to play with it much using XP, most of my testing was done using Vista 64....
A short story of how I wound up with the DS5:
I have a 9600std and a 9600be, when my K9A2 died I thought I'd be shadyand go buy another one switch them out, return it, then I'd have 2 boards right?
Well, the board I bought actually WAS bad!! When I went back to the store they were out of K9A2's and all they had were DS5/DQ6 and the Asus boards, so it wound up costing me an extra $45!!
Poetic Justice I guess..![]()
I'm just not good at being bad..
