Mmmmm....chocolatey goodness!

I had major issues with the beta bios too, still ran my ram in dual channel, but I think it changed my ram timings cause I lost ~600MB in sandra right off the bat. I'm sticking with the 1.0 bios till an official update comes out. Also, dunno if Kyle or anyone is reading this thread, but the...

Other than the board somehow trying to run the memory way out of spec....I don't know. From my sig you see im using just 2x512 corsair value ram in dual channel just fine, even OC'ed to 216mhz 2.5-3-3-8 1T.

Sorry yeah I should have mentioned that. Its an Enermax 465P-VE link here: Enermax 465P-VE I don't have easy access to a multimeter or I would test that. Thinking about upgrading power supply anyway to utilize the 24+8 connectors vs. the 20+4 that my PSU has.

Just got the rig in my sig finally hooked up and working properly today. One thing concerns me though. Looking at the MSI CoreCenter software my voltage readings are kinda high. 3.3V shows at 3.42v 5V shows at 5.51v 12V shows at 12.7V Also my vcore shows 1.4v when I have it set at...

Im pretty sure the jumper you're lookin for is the little blue one right next to the battery on the motherboard. should be 3 pins there, and the jumper is connected to 1-2, move it to 2-3 and follow the instructions in the first reply.

OK after changing my mind 800000 times trying to figure what kind of motherboard i want, ive got it down to two models. MSI K8N Diamond Plus DFI LP UT-DR Expert Yes I know the Expert would be better for OC'ing, and the Diamond has 2x16 PCI-E, i want to hear any arguements why I should NOT...

Those temps are fine. Only need additional/better cooling if you start overclocking.

Needing something to replace my sigged mobo. Looking for a socket 939 board, good for overclocking, but without SLI. I was gonna go all out on a DFI expert, but i seriously doubt I will ever buy more than one vid card, so looking to save a little on a non-sli board. Any suggestions? So far...

Yeah really....when and where will we be able to purchase these bad boys?

That's what I figured, DFI Expert here I come.

So this may just be me being paranoid. But I thought it might warrant a post. Currently I have my voltage set at 1.4v for the cpu in bios. When I open CPU-Z the voltage display there constantly fluctuates between 1.36 and 1.44v. One, can this much variation cause stability issues? Two...

just chiming in here with my result. my 0546 XPMW does 2.7 on 1.35v and stock cooling. Im pretty sure itll do more, but waiting for new motherboard. 2.8 @ 1.45v is my goal.

Yeah, I know about the ocw beta bioses. I tried beta2, still didnt work. Tried to flash beta1 too wouldn't even flash, gave me an incorrect file size error. I got my eyes set on a DFI SLI-DR Expert and a new PCI-E vid card. little OT but anyone know of a cheap PCI-E card that'll give me at...

Yeah, gonna leave it at 2.7 for now, got the ram on a /14 divisor via systool which puts the ram @ 193, 1T also. Good enough for me for now. B'day is next month...here's my list heh 2GB G'Skill PC4000 DFI Expert new vid card...dunno which yet.

It's lookin like thats the case. Tried to flash the ocwbeta1 bios, but can't. Says its the wrong size. Back to bios 1.5 now as its the only one that will let me run 1T on my ram. Unless theres any other suggestions, I guess ill just have to wait for a pci-e vid card and diff motherboard.

Maybe... Im just thinkin 10x270 = 9x300 = 2700mhz....cpu shouldnt care either way right?

ok so i've been trying to find the HTT max for this motherboard, and i've flashed the ocwbeta2 bios which supposedly opens up the 275-400 HTT range for use. My CPU runs 100% stable @ 10x270 w/ 2:3 mem divisor underclocking the ram to 180. HTT multi is at 3x this whole time. so I...

AFAIK, the PLUS just comes with a fan, where the normal one doesn't. I may be wrong on this, but I think thats it.

You can see my results in my sig....0546XPMW bought from mwave.com 2 weeks ago. Almost positive it will go higher, waiting for better cooling, better motherboard.

I wouldn't like trying higher than 1.5v either. How are your temps? Time to upgrade your cooling? I guess I just got lucky with my chip. Only bad thing is it makes me wanna spend a lot more money on a new vid card, ram, and hard drive, to make it a gaming beast. *Waits patiently for...

NO no, not bad at all, I'm pretty sure I mentioned the love factor right off the bat, Im just pretty sure I can go further and benefit quite a bit from faster ram too.

Ok so I'm pretty much in love with this processor. I hit the HTT wall on this board at 274x10. I really need better ram to run a higher divisor, ram at 183 right now = kinda slow. This is still on the retail heatsink and stock voltage. I really wanna try the OCWbeta1 bios, but I have no...

Ok yeah that was freakin weird. After benching at stock, went back to my OC'ed speed. 10x260, 5:6 divider, ram @ 216. And now magically it benches 6100. Dunno what I did different, but I ain't changin it now hehe. Thanks for the help guys. EDIT: Wait I lied, I did actually change my...

Ok so I ran the Sandra memory benchmark at default speeds (2.0Ghz/ 200mhz RAM) and got 4435MB/s. I'm pretty sure this is lower than it should be. Any other suggestions?

I haven't, didn't run any benchies till after i OC'ed, ill try that and post back. Thanks

Good question...I forgot how i got the drive cage in there in the first place, and last time i tried to take it out...i couldn't...i have it placed at the very bottom of the case. So basically I just need to get better RAM so i can run a better divisor. Prolly my 10K III and my 9800Pro will...

Ohhhh...ok gotcha, so your at 275 or so...sounds good. Thanks

Yeah see thats my concern, you actually have a lower memclock than I do, but 40% higher score? yeah you have 200mhz cpu clock on me but that shouldnt matter that much...hmm, still wonder.

Hey guys, I just replaced my aging K7D w/ 2xAXP2400+'s with a 939Dual and an Opty 170 as in my sig. Running at 10x260, w/ the memory on a 5:6 divider at 216mhz im getting Sandra memory scores of around 5000MB/s. Honestly I'm not sure if this is where it should be, but some reviews around the...

Yeah I reinstalled the amd driver again, and this time my temps stayed the same...prolly just tweaked last time somehow. Oh well. Ill update again once I get a better heatsink. Thanks guys

Well, scraped the AS5 down and temps dropped 1C....now at 39/51C idle/load. I'm happy with 2.6 at stock volts...but i definitely think this chip will do more. Will wait for better cooling though. Gonna grab either a Ninja or a Tuniq Tower 120 next time i get 50 bucks. Then I'll try for...

nobi125, my cpu is the exact same stepping as yours. Just for fun I lowered the voltage back down to stock and it primed @ 2.6 overnight. From reading more here im pretty sure i put WAY too much AS5 on though. I'll scrape it later today, hopefully my idle temps will come down....40C...

So can anyone explain to me this little anomoly. Right now im running SpeedFan 4.28 to read mytemps, and the CPU is at 43C. I installed the AMD CPU drivers from the dual-core gaming fix sticky, and the temp jumped to 55-56C at idle. Uninstalled the driver and its back to 43C. What's...

Hey guys, had a few questions I know someone can answer. Just got my new Opteron 170 installed in a Asrock 939Dual motherboard. Just using the stock heatpipe cooler w/ some AS5 for now. Currently its sitting at 2.6Ghz @ 1.4v, temps are 42C at idle, havent done any stress testing yet...
