Llano in the house... (as Charged :-) )

Well it won't,only in gpu department What deal did you had?

I just hope it's a little easier to OC.

Well, the board is $58.92 after rebate, almost half the price at newegg.

Soo

Trying to find a nice 8GB 1866+ kit which doest have stupid large heat spreaders and will play nice with Llano ( I want something low profile like Kingston HyperX,Corsair Low Profile etc. i.e no extra hight on the PCB) is proving difficult. Am in the UK.. any suggestions anyone ?

The BE Llanos are now in stock so want to finalise this build asap. Anyone able to point in the right direction for the above ?

So a Low Voltage 1600 kit should get me a fair bit of headroom memory OC wise on Llano then ? as trying to find a 1866+ kit with low profile head spreaders is next to impossible I think.

First off, my setup:

Asus F1A75-V Pro with A8-3870K (XSPC Rasa), GSkill RipjawsX, HDD set to IDE

Initial thoughts:

1. Flashed the latest 2001 BIOS for the F1A75-V Pro and the CPU frequency at POST is always off. It keeps changing with each reset; however, once it boots into Windows, the correct frequency is displayed. I have the same issue with Stilt's modified 1102 BIOS - if this is already known, do disregard.
2. I seem to be able OC better with the 2001 BIOS, i.e. at the same settings, I get POST with 2001 but not 1102.
3. There still doesn't seem to be any monitoring software that reads temps accurately; not even AI Suite's sensors.
4. To boot at 38 multi seems to require a lot of vcore, a lot more than 37.
5. I get BIOS freezes after a bad OC; not sure why. Didn't happen with the Gigabyte board. Also, tried different BCLKs (133MHz, 140MHz, 161MHz, 166MHz) with no success at getting a higher OC with lower multi.

So far (been playing around for about two hours), the best I can do is 103x37=3.811GHz at 1.57vcore/1.3NB (LLC at high), mem at 961.5MHz. It is 2D but not 3D stable.

I'd welcome any suggestions! TheStilt? (I got the Asus board because of your excellent modified BIOS and expertise!)

Might move over to the Gigabyte A75M-UD2H next.

Interested to hear more on this as I was looking at the Asus F1A75 EVO but if there are issues with that and A8-3870K I may go Gigabyte A75 UD2/UD4 or Asrock A75 Extreme6 instead..

They are the new 30nm Samsung ICs that a few around here have gotten to 2400+.

I can get these via Amazon US international shipped.. the 1333 40nm version ..

Thats all I can seemingly get of the Samsung stuff.

Also found some Corsair LP 1866 -
