    What am I doing wrong here?
    What bios version are you using? Have you checked the msr registers c0010015 and c0011023 with crystal cpu's msr editor?

    Idle at about 40c @1,30vcore.

    Maybe I need a reseating of the block..

    Tried it on the DFI with 307. MSR registers show that TLB caching is enabled no matter what i set in the bios.

    At 2.8GHz CPU/2.2GHz NB mem at 533 settings auto i get these winrar results with aod in red or yellow mode, again no matter what tlb caching setting was used in the bios.

    Completely unoptimized memory timings here but ~2000MB/s vs. ~650MB/s in green mode.
    I guess the bios does the right thing, ignores the bios settings with b3's and always enables tlb caching here.

    Being real honest the DFI bios has many issues, i have a few end users now suffering from the flashing cursor issues, tRFC non detect etc so we wait on a fix.

    The board with the lowest amount of issues (without testing the asus yet) is the Gigabyte DQ6, it just needs separate NB VID and it would be awesome.

    The MSI is clocking good on the latest 1.4 Bios apart from the TLB annoyance.

    hopes this helps
    guys if you set overdrive to RED button the TLB fix will be disabled, looks like overdrive and bios dosnt detect B3 as bugfree

    and temps in everest on mine is kinda off buy a HUGE margin, i can soon frie a egg on this thing

    Its looking like yellow or red on AOD is telling US top performance, green is most definitely bad.

    I think we need an update on AOD, looks like im blaming the bios when its the tools not working right.

    Weird thing is AOD reports red on the Gigabyte where MSI and DFI is yellow

    I read in an german forum that in red mode autoxpress features get enabled. The MSI has bios options for autoxpress with at least one bios but KTE could not verify that autoxpress is responsible for the performance increase in red mode.

    I also just ran winrar...in red mode 3.4ghz cpu, 2500mhz NB and 1000MHZ ram im hitting 1.700KB/s on the msi...nowhere near what you are getting there.

    That's Vista right. Sounds like you're running the patch to me

    It gets better:

    Yellow mode winrar 1.7ishKB/s like you
    Red mode Winrar 1.7Iish KB/s like you
    Green winrar 367KB/s

    So I can turn the patch on and off, vista is not the issue, something else is speeding up the DFI

    Now 3dmark 06 CPU 3.375GHZ, NB 2.5GHZ, ram 5-5-5-15 1000MHZ 4GB

    CPU score:

    Red 4704
    Yellow 4580
    Green 4229

    Red wins

    Cinebench:

    Red scores lower than yellow by around 200 points, this is consistent also as I ran it a few times

    All I can think of is:
    I read in an german forum that in red mode autoxpress features get enabled
    The Gigabyte has an option for Autoexpress in bios, the MSI and the DFI do not (as far as I know) BUT I have a feeling the DFI is enabling some tweaks quietly in bios we are not seeing.

    My DQ6 is reflashed and in a box winging its way back to me...we will retest this soon also

    there is much strangeness with these boards and AOD settings...much strangeness LOL

    Edit: had an update which clears some things up.

    Yellow mode is default for B3,when its yellow then TLB caching is enabled

    If you boot and AOD is showing red then Autoexpress is enabled from bios

    If you enable Red in AOD you enable Autoexpress also.

    So DFI have some tweaks that leave AOD yellow but speed things up...or their bios is masking what they are doing.

    So we need manual settings in bios for Autoexpress now so we have a choice

    Did anyone notice that core4 is faster than any other core in Cinebench?

    win2k 32bit 2.8/2.2 GHz 1.3125/1.27V Mem 5-5-5-16-11 2V ganged vs. unganged

    only a marginal difference here 2060 vs. 2100 NB/s.

    win2k 32bit 3.0/2.4 GHz 1.4875/1.475V Mem 4-5-5-16-11 2.3V unganged (very hot and unstable setup)

    Not really a big gain here ~110MB/s more (5&#37 considering the power the system requires.

    @Tony: Thanks for verifying the autoxpress thing on the gbt board.

    Green: mem read=49xx, mem latency=100ns
    Red: mem read=59xx, mem latency=65ns

    Not sure ... I'm using and older bios (1.1) instead of the newest, which has an updated cpu support (1.4). Just read in another thread that only the latest version fixes the TLB issue ...

    Yeah, somethings wrong, YGPM.
    The official 1.4 for MSI is bad because many users borked their MB/CPU when they left oc options in. Since then Performance releases are best, and they have AutoXpress in there.
    Yeah, we verified a while ago that Red Mode = AutoXpress and it has better perf. for higher end cards especially.

    Indeed. Yellow is a good balance [check power with Red ]

    Yeah no kidding hey? Tony could you please make a suggestion to Oskar to get this darn AMD Overdrive working properly with the DFI Bios? 2.0.17 Is terrible and big issues with Software itself (not Bios) I have installed it twice once with 6400+ BE = NO GO 2 times with Phenom BE = NO GO and it shut my damn machine down just opening the stupid thing just as a note Defaults were set in Bios when Installing and Opening Program

    At the bare minimum I would like to see this thing functional on our board and coexist harmoniously without issues I mean just opening the program up from Day one with this board give random 'weirdness" and lock ups let alone trying to use the dam thing!
