Can't get my Opty 165 past 225 and have a few other issues.....possibly.
I am a newb when it comes to OC'ing...only overclocked 4 procs before and they were all Intel Chips. The last thing I overclocked was a P4 478. So if I am asking a dumb question be gentle I am still a newb...
System specs.
ASUS A8r32-MVP Deluxe
Opteron 165
G.Skill 2gb PC4000 DDR 500 3,4,4,8
Sappire X1800XT
WD 250g SATA2
Anyhow Here are my questions.
1.How do I change the freaking CPU voltage? The max allowable for me is 1.4v.
2. When I originaly boot up after a BIOS error and default settings reload I have to go to the BIOS and change the following or it will not boot at all and just hangs up during initialization.....
boot settings config> Wait for "F1" if error:-----------disable
Full screen logo:------------------------------------------------disable
3. My system hangs up during initialization at the USB bus initialization for about 20seconds and then finishes no problems after that. Is this a problem? If not is there a way to stop this slowdown on bootup?
4. There is no workaround to get a USB keyboard to work in the BIOS? I have to use a very old PS2. Talked with ASUS they said no... thought I would ask people that actually used the product though.
5. In CPU-Z (v1.33) on the SPD tab it shows my memory as being 3, 5, 5, 10.....now the memory is supposed to run at 3, 4, 4, 8 . Is the SPD screen what the memory is supposed to be running?
Here are the BIOS settings I had to use to get thus far. (BTW thanks Psychlone for the Format...I blatently stole it)
