-= rtz =- : I had my 6400+be on this board first before the phenom. I had it on bios F2 and never ran into any problems that i recall untill I dropped in the phenom. From what I understand F3 is the only bios that flashes the backup bios so it should be no problem for you to flash back to F2 but your backup bios will remain F3 so if you ever incounter a checksum error in bios and it re-wrights itself from the backup you will then be on F3. Im not so sure that there are any isues with the F3 bios and X2 cpu's anyway so you might just try going back to it instead first.

I was able to hit some near record breaking OC's with my X2 and this board on water on the older bios and was very, very happy with this board untill I swaped in the Phenom.

Also, I have not used the same ram your using on this board seems to be a bit picky with ram. If you havent allready you might check in AMD Overdrive or another program to verify that your ram timings are actualy set to its recomended spec's you may very well have a couple timings way off due to the boards inability to set the correct timing. Only reason I mention this is that i had some problems with my G.skill ram crashing somtimes in Games but having no problems with stress tests and mem tests............so might be worth a look.


Brother Esau: Is that OC stable thats noted in your Sig.......2.8ghz@under 1.3v?
