Yeah I think some of you guys need to listen to what Tony is saying; 1066 is not difficult but it's not just one thing.

DFI 1066 no-boot is a problem involving more than one factor.

MSI/GBT/ASUS boards for a while now boot 1066 with EPP 1066 just fine.
They had to update BIOS source code to do it, or no matter what you did, there was no boot.
DFI guys would need something similar.

Look here, I flashed SPD 1066 successfully back around December with EPP 1066 D9 RAM=>
=>

It still did not boot 1066! Because BIOS was at fault. Updated BIOS and voila! Straight boot.

There is the better way to get near 1066 IMO =>



It'll alow even 3-3-3-8

Well I'm only a normal guy and see myself just like you, sharing info.

What I'm saying is based from info from within AMD though (for a while) and we've confirmed that the temp readouts you have on current AMD CPUs are very wrong (very low compared to real). It is supposed to be fixed in BIOS/AOD and/or the latest B3 step.
Was trying to make a joke, since I haven't realize if I found the "G-Spot" on DFI for be so "cold". Sorry for my "Beach" English, only 2 years English on High School, ages ago.
Your english is quote fine bro
Now, seriously I just order an 9850BE for 199 euros, expect to arrive by the end of next week. It's available in Germany since yesterday.
Keep us updated on what it does. Aim for at least 3G stable, I'm sure some will reach it

So I'll try it in small steps with a 10x cpu multi starting at 260MHz.
That BIOS showing core temps below CPU diode temp is wrong and that BIOS showing very high above CPU temp also looks a little wrong
Question: I downloaded Taiphoon and looked on my crucial dimm's. With that tool i see three different profiles for 200, 333 and 400MHz. CPU-Z shows two JEDEC profiles (333,400) and two EPP (400,533).
Is there a tool for modifying that 533-EPP profile in a way that it will support better that 4-5-5-16 timings at 533?
Nope, SPD has nothing to do with what Phenom IMC allows. Lowest option codable within Phenom IMC is lowest BIOS can set. The timings are all encoded to the DRAM Speed Mode and the lowest for 1066 mode are: 4-5-5-15
Each of them equal 00 encodings within K10h IMC. That's a Phenom limitation, nothing can change that I'm afraid.
