Phenom 9500 w/ MSI K9A2 Platinum

Well, my guess would be he finally got pissed off with the lack of proper support from MSI, or ended up having issues again with the processor/board. If that were the case I don't blame him for saying to hell with it, and getting off here. Don't think he'd have got the 9850 if it weren't for us here encouraging him to. Otherwise his work probably needs more time, and he can't afford to be wanting to mess around and read here.

But only that wouldnt really mean he would just burn all bridges.

In the other thread he said he had issues with PM system, he also told in some other thread about it. Maybe it's just the whole package. Or too much dedication to said hardware and that amount of dedication turned into disappointment due to bad support, PM messing stuff up etc and he doesnt want to do any of it for a while?

Maybe due to the dedication personal problems.

Anyway, thx for everything thus far KTE! I wish you gl and of course hope to see you back at some point again

Hey Folks...

I've started playing with Bios Verisons on the K9A2. Version 1.4 is very solid, and the fact that it doesn't have NB/IMC Multis is not that big a deal since you can crank the NB by using the HT Ref clock (10x on a 9850)...

The one bad thing I've noticed about 1.4 is that you can't really lower the V's on the CPU, NB or Memory using 1.4. Personally, I really don't think the NB/IMC needs 1.3v's to run stable, nor does the memory need 2.25v's.

The 1.3 Beta gives much more control over Voltages/Multis (Via P-States), and seems to do OK with the 9850...

When I flashed it I used all the switches /p /b /n /c. That resulted in AMD NB being set back to "Version B2" and probably went back to old DMI's etc....

Achim:Guess your the Only K9A2/Phenom Guru left..
I really don't want to kill my board, but I'm thinking If I flash the 1.4 and then revert to 1.3B without the switches, I might get better results (IE not changing the NB Drivers/DMI/sub commands)...

Before I do it, I'd just like to get an experts opinion... Is this asking for trouble?
