ASUS AMD Beta BIOS Releases

[chew*]

I'm a bit confused about what you said bingo.

OCP, when this is enabled does it mean that "Over Current Protection" is enabled?
Because they way you wrote it, it makes me think it's the oppiset.

Other ?.
Load-Line Calibration.
So if we disable this, it means we get more stable voltage if the amp draw increases?
I thaught enabling it did that....

I'm not trying to confuse everyone.
I just want some clear answers lol.

I got one more.
Note my board is offline for the moment, waiting for mem.
If I jack the pwm freq all the way up, as long as I'm actively cooling the pwm it will be ok right?
(edit: does pwm freq effect more then cpu vcore pwm speed?, like cpu-nb pwm...)

;;;;;;;

This ? goes to anyone with the know how...

Has anyone messed up one of these x6's by up'ing there cpu-nb voltages to high?

OCP DISABLED disables Overcurrent protection.

Most common place that you would run into OCP is on ln2 running say wprime 1024m.

Symptoms of OCP is a complete powerdown where board will not fire back up without the PSU being cycled on and off.

If you think OCP is kicking in on air/water/phase/DI you are surely mistaken, it takes over 6 gig all cores loaded to trigger OCP in my experience.

I highly suggest if you do not experience these symptoms that you do not disable OCP.......OCP protects your hardware.

Commonly people hard mod boards and or video cards for this, in fact I originally requested a mod only after speaking with some reviewers who tested on ln2 however ASUS chose to do it via bios.

In most cases overclockers will not notice OCP on air/water/phase/DI.

Yes it is very easy to mess up an X6 with excessive cpu_nb volts.

I reccomend for safety no more than 1.35 on air......

LLC enabled is out of SPEC for AMD cpu's, intel for that matter to. Use it with caution, its always better to have a little droop than none at all.

I have experimented with the PWM frequency on cold and normal temps, I really saw no major gains and reccomend auto for most users.

My personal reccomendations for 24/7 users is 50% core only LLC and leave the rest auto only on thuban, its not needed for deneb.

My personal reccomendation for ln2 users is 100% llc cpu, 50% llc CPU_NB and OCP disabled for NB and CPU, if you must for whatever reason feel the need for PWM run 500K while on ln2...............
