    Ok i found this to be interesting. Now. the DFI M2RS

    Has 5 MOSFETs feeding the VCore, Mem Controler and HT Bus. Now the M3A32-MVP Deluxe


    Has 10 MOSFETs 2 of wich are dedicated to the HT Bus and the Mem Controller. (some of the MOSFETs are covered by the copper cooler. Now i know this is an issue with AM2 boards not being backwards compatable with the new Phenoms rated at 125W. Im not sure what kind of impact this has but to me this could exsplain why some people cant Hit 3ghz. I dont think it has anything to do with the Chips or wich bin they come from. I just think that some boards are giving some people more power then others. If not more then more Stable power to the 3 given Draws. Might also be the reason that some people hit 3k. Run for a week, then BSOD like mad. If the cores are eating all the juice then the MC and HT Bus are hung out to dry getting what ever is left over. This would also exsplain at least imo why people are having so many stability issues. I could be wrong and i probably am ) Also i dont have any solid testing evidence to back this up. Just pose a question is more what im doing here. If this has already been discussed just ignore me

    (sorry for so many edits :P i had the WiFi board pic up before. and im by no means saying that all Phenoms are exactly the same, some chips will do better then others.)

    I'm not happy. Just killed one of my memory sticks. I got my Ultra 120 eXtreme in today, along with the scythe fan with 110 cfm. It just so happens that the ramsinks were a little tall for the hs's liking. I take part of it off... and it took off 7 of 8 ram chips on that side... Thankfully I have an old faithful pair of OCZ value 512mb sticks. Man... at least the cooler is a massive drop in temps, otherwise I'd be throwing stuff around. Oh well, just gives me a better reason to invest in some 1066 sticks.

    Edit: And it even gives me slightly higher clocks, but that might also be due to lower clocking memory and less actual memory as well.

    Not much to say right now.

    that is a question people area lready asking for a while and more or less the same with the 780 boards, i have the msi 790 k9a2 plat that has the 5 phase and asus m3a h-hdmi that has 4+1 phase, i started with the last board and all i can say is the mosfets run real hot @ stock.

    I believe several people were already able to hit +3 on those msi and dfi boards with 5 phase
