Phenom 9500 w/ MSI K9A2 Platinum

[dr_drache]

For Phenom you may have to install OS fresh. Or it'll give too many problems unless you've deleted all the waste files and registries of old components manually. OOBE, out of body experience?

OOBE = Out of Box Experence, the wizard before you can first log-in

Hmm.. you should flash 1.13B if you want to oc through BIOS. Slower than your Crosshair, as in what way? Any benchmark comparisons?

no benchmarks that i can post, but i KNOW that i was getting near 1900 in the winrar test, it was stock running, no matter what i tryed. switched because I saw that a 790FX chipset may be better for me for tweaking (kinda irked about lack of SLI, but i'll live) love love this crosshair sitting on my desk :P

It's because you need to write to all cores and two different MSR (AOD yellow will do fine). Like shown here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...postcount=1215

Try it.

ahhh, i've been doing only the 1/2 of it, i have not done the 0xc0011023 registers.
i'll give it a shot.

There is definitely a performance difference across BIOSes, 1.13B is best I've tested in pure performance and P0H is second. But you need to disable the TLB errata patch first

Try this link method and then switch off all basic extra's, AOD yellow and rerun the WinRAR bench. Should be much higher: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...postcount=1215

i'll look into it, not really looking into formatting again, will if it needs it. will attempt to build a new iso with vlite, see if i can get a promise raid driver intagrated right this time. as soon as i decide on the format, i'll switch back to trying P0H.

UPDATE :
i think i may got an issue, my 0xc0011023 doesn't match






UPDATE #2 : flashed 113, did BOTH register changes and got :
