Flashed to bios 17 and verified that the temperature issue is solved. Will try out the stability over these few days.

who says AN8 Ultra cant do high HTT @ 1T ?

351 mhz HTT @ 1T

So far with my Winnie 3500+ overclocked to 2.7ghz no issues or hangs. Another good and stable mobo from Abit.

Only thing is that whenever I go for standby, even disabling waking up from USB or LAN, it will automatically wake up. Anyone has any recommendation for this S3 issue?

i guess the problem only occurs with either venice or sandy processor

yo irenic did u notice in bios such as the SLI Fatality...when sumtimes u play with settings the OTES 1 and 2 control is gone...you know why???

erm i never experienced that.. but i always disable the automatic fan control for both OTES so that the fans will keep spinning no matter what the temp is..

You need to see the ram speed timing of your ram.. or u are using 4 stick of ram...
memory controller is build in the cpu and not same as nforce2 technologies....

by rma it won't help ... cause it is cpu memory timing issue...

just light OC my rig ... using 1 : 1 with my KVR chip kingston week 2 2005 can up till 270FSB 1T @ 2.9v with no problem at all.. why irenic said that Abit AN8 ultra hav problem with 1T timing ??

*use bios 15

Yup, mine works with 1T as well but limited to 250HTT as D43 limit.

BTW, slightly off topic, why not get the SLI version for a little more money but are assured you have a good upgrade path in the future?

Try bios 17, it should solve CPU temperature issues as well.

i am using 1T too

then maybe the problem comes with sandy btw, not all having the same problem. thats good u all manage to go high with 1T, some dont even can run 1T at default setting.. Mine can do up to 220fsb 1T.. more than that must use 2T.

really "pening" ler wanna change my system to 939.

guys please help me.

i need mobo and proc( for serious gaming oc XTREME)

read lotz of review dfi ler abit ler,,, vience/winchister le.


hope u guys can gimme solution. i just want

DFI lanparty series = super oc board. got many settings in bios to play with. easy to get supports /advice from experts from all over the world (forum). Quite sensitive with ram, especially the value ram. It can be very stable, or very not stable, like cold boot, or 4 leds of death (depends on ur luck & other hardware)

ABIT an8 = Great stability. Flexible with a lot of ram, from value ram to high performance ram. Limited setting in bios. Nice oc board, but u'll lose a few Mhz of oc compared to DFI.

ASUS a8n = I'm not sure bout this board, but quite a lot of people manage to get a good result with it.

It's all ur choice

all this mobo fit ka with my sig spec.... excpt proc, 3dcard, mobo.(3 things that i want to upgrade.)

normal kingston valueram ddr400 hynix d-43 can use ka? or it use ddr2 tech?

what abou proc,,,? amd64 can oc high <rm600??? any idea?

can use normal harddisk??( i'm not using sata btw)

Yes, definetely those things will work. DDR2 tech is not compatible for AMD64 yet.

so i just get the new proc(?) + cpu cooler(cm hyper 48 good ka?) + 3dcard(maybe single winfast 6800 256mb,,btw any good ati?) + mobo (i choose abit AN8-Ultra with otes) . then mix with my old system stuff.

gonna buy it at the end of this year btw.

now i really need idea about

-proc? and the normal air cooler hsf?

if at the end of this year, then maybe u just hold thinking what hardware u gonna buy.. coz maybe at that time ATi crossfire card & board will be widely available in lowyat

i've never big fan to ati

but now gonna keep dreaming about 64bit system.

we'll see it soon,, if i change my mind about ati

Beware of DFI mobo with D43 ram. I am using Hynix and that's the primary reason I didn't buy DFI although it is a splendid board; if you get the settings right.

Some of my recommendations are as follows; they represent my interpretation of value for money hardware:

CPU - X2 3800+
Mobo - Abit A8N-SLI (go for Fatality if you have budget)
GPU - 6800GT single or SLI.
Sound Card - Creative X-Fi if you could afford it. Otherwise, on board Abit mobo will do.
CPU cooler - Thermalright XP90C or XP120.
Hard Drive - Any SATA II with NCQ would be fitting. Otherwise, Raptor 74GB is exceptionally good for fast response times.
Optical Drive - LG Supermulti DVDRW. GSA 4165 or above.

Now, do some research on the web with these headstart information and see what's best for you and your wallet.

u dont have to be a fan.. just buy any product that can perform better~
