I have been having some issues with getting this thing stable... The highest I can get it is to 2.31ghz. That isn't very much

Here are my specs

AMD 4400+ X2 (2 x 1mb cache)
AsRock 939Dual-SATA II link
2 x 1gb G.Skill link
8800 320mb GTS link
Antec 650w PSUlink

I have lowered the ram to 166 and can get it to boot @ 220mhz with the HTT @ 800(4)

I am ready to toss this and go with a C2D something just flat out silly.
 
I have a X2 4400+ 939 running at 2.6 (11x236) stable. I set the HTT to 4x, set the ram to 166 and set the vcore to 1.4375-1.450. I understand that using a DFI lanparty board would possibly allow me to hit 2.8, due to being able to push the vcore up to 1.55-1.75 with the voltage multipler.

The A8N-SLI board runs out of voltage, before I run out of cooling. :(
 
Yes, vcore is limited on this motherboard to 1.4v. There is a mod to push it to 1.55v.

You think it is time to sell this and go to C2D? I am pricing it out now.

Click to expand...

I added another 7900gt to my rig, for SLI, so I am going to wait until the next generation comes out.
 
why not buy a better oc'ing mobo? Those Asrocks aren't known for hitting high oc's, with that in mind, i've heard the x2 4400's don't usually get past 2.4-2.5 without good cooling!

If you have the money to burn then get c2d
 
I was thinking a better mobo, but if I am going to pull the trigger, I will re-do it all and have a rig that will be doable for longer than 6 months.
