Who tried winchester (90nm) with Phase cooling?

[YoupY]

youpy tried a beta bios yesterday wich helped him a lot, hope he will post details soon

The bios helps indeed for subzero temps on the asus a8v. Finally I got like 2900 prime stable with 1.7V, with very poor memory settings (near DDR400). I tested every mem I have here (tccd, eb, bh5) but none of them could produce any decent speeds.
BH5 was the best of them all with at a lousy DDR466

There is nothing more to it then just flash the bios and don't use tccd's or high memory frequenties, however that is just what we wanna do...

I noticed I could get these mems way faster on the v0.6 Newcastle I also have here. TCCD was at DDR500 during my last pifast score (see signature).

My best guess is that on the asus the capacitators are very poor (see : http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...345#post598345 for my "possible" explaination and react please for possible solution )

So I had a nc running 3 ghz @ 1.8 (which can do more) and a winnie doing 2.9 ghz @ 1.7. Since the A8V can't get any mem to run with the winnie I returned the winnie today (HCC days in the Netherlands) and brought home the MSI neo2 plat. Now I'm hoping I can sqeeze something nice out of my tccd's, or else I'll use my EB's but my goal is set at 310 x 10 sync.

For now I think we all are better of with newcastle s939 procs with a 0.6 version, untill there has been found a fix for the subzero bug, or a better board comes like the dfi.

Weird though that 3 differend boards all have kind of the same problems with there biosses....
