    Fully Modded A8V, FX-53 and DI... more to come!



    I started out earlier and my TTGI520 stopped working.... I was running sPi @ 3200+ mHz, and having it hang up after 23s.... and was increasing voltage, and then......
    arrgghhhhh..........
    Running now with Fortron 350W HiQ, and don't expect much

    It's really a pity.... it was running REALLLL nice but without a strong PSU, I don't know what I can do???? Don't have time to go to Fry's and get a Vantec 520w or a Antec TC550...

    No, you can run BH-5 in synch, just not SPD2700/3000 branded sticks. Thanks to OCZ, I'll have the solution soon....

    You know you've accomplished something, when your PSU has become the bottleneck

    Yeah, it was something strange...
    3 times in a row, I booted at 3200, like 13 x 248, and had no problem running sPi at 3200+ mHz, then the PSU stopped.
    It was running sPi fine for the first 23s and then giving me error message, it was REAL close, that's why I kept trying. It was probably a 26s run...I hooked up the fortron and it worked, hooked the TTGI back in and it just makes this meager sound as it turns it's own fans, weakly, and won't make the mobo POST...


    Yeah, I checked and double checked......
    dead PSU.
    This sucks. I was rollin...
    Well the only good thing is that this gives me the chance to buy a new PSU!!! I'm thinking PCP & Cooling 510 Dlx or the new OCZ with the adjustable rails....after all, even FUGGER couldn't KILL it!

    I may try again later, with the Fortron 350W Hi-Q PSU, although I won't expect much Is it possible to hurt my mobo/CPU with a PSU that's too weak?

    If I REALLY? Heh, lol...
    It's all on page 18 of the "Official A8V" thread in the AMD section....
    to summarize, pull two resistors, and replace with 2 VR's. Pre-set the Vddr VR (10K) to 2.15Kohm and preset the Vcore VR (100ohm) to 20ohm, and adjust from there!

    why do you think the fortron 350 is weak? dont know what model yours is, but mine is anything from weak. mine (60BTP) uses the same parts as the 400W fortron psu

    and afaik the fortron 530 (?) also generates every rail seperate, its a very nice psu but hard to find. good luck!

    Yes, Layered masking tape. On the PCB a couple sheets of paper towel, then tape, then more towel, then more tape.
    This good for about an hour or so of playtime, then need to disassemble and check for condensation. Later on I'll do the "permanent" housing/proofing, but I just wanted to play
