@jarofclay
urs is the AN8 Fatality, she is using AN8-SLi fatality, there is a difference

@wild_card_my
I agree with you, I think is the board, asus boards seem to be more promising nowadays, stable on OC

ermm i dont know why when i increase the HTT , my pc will restart... hurmm i dont know how to do....

Perhaps I wasn't that precise in my sig... I am running SLI as well. It's the same board.

You need to check on your HTT multiplier as well. Normally, HTT works below 1GHz. So if you absolutely need to raise HTT, then lower the multiplier. So far, the best and stable for me is 4x 250HTT (due to my system RAM bottleneck)

Well, I set the voltage to 1.475V but in windows it is reported as 1.500V, and it is only cooled by VENUS 12, I use lowest fan speed most of the time.

And yeah, i think my CPU is actually meant to be labelled as the X2 4600 (2.4Ghz) as I managed to get it to run at 2.4Ghz @ 1.35V @ Prime stable SuperPI stable and everythingelse stable

If you're selling, let me know. I am searching for a good dual core too on my quest to build a better machine. However, as I know, the temps in US are pretty low now, so that must've helped as well.

@jarofclay
well, sorry for my noobness....seems to be a good board then, but stated...many factors will affect the OC

@wild_card_my
well. now ur using the A8N-SLi Premium....do u feel its better??

Yeah, sure... and the method of postage will be FedEX international which will cost at least RM100 ya? I tell you what, since AMD was rushing when they realeased the X2 3800, most probably (this is a hypothesis) most of the X2 3800s were to be rated higher... so buy now rather than later.

and yeah, the temps are low, my legs are freezin cold here...

@aaron_lwm

I would say it is soo much better than the Fatal1ty... havent had any problem and crashes when the OC setup is certified as stable.. unlike the former mobo, crashes are random... hate that...

Yeah, I can attest to that. This Abit board is great in terms of features that are geared to gamers and overclockers. I like the front cmos reset the most.

The board does have it's fair shares of occasional reboot. I am not sure it is my chip or the board; whenever I turn up the vcore to 1.6V nowadays, even if the temps are mid 40s, the whole system just shuts down. Luckily it didn't have the 4 leds of death symptom but it does hang on me.

What about the rest? Do you have any similar experiences?

where did you get that type of system software?

CPU-Z (http://www.cpuid.org/cpuz.php)
A64 Tweaker (http://www.falconfly-central.de/downloads/A64Tweaker_V0.6beta.zip)
ClockGen (http://www.cpuid.com/clockgen.php)
Super PI (http://superpi.radeonx.com/super_pi_mod-1.4.zip)

Have fun.....

The Abit Fatality SLi is sold out in LYP at the moment. Stocks are not expected to arrive anytime soon. So guys, congrats on getting your hands on what is now a extremely hard to find mobo...

If anyone knows a retailer that still has stock, please let me know.

TIA.

Have you tried ScanArt?

Yep, they're the ones that told me that it's out of stock and that they are not bringing it in for the forseeable future...

@Macdanife
If I'm not mistaken, ScanArt does not hold much stock for Abit Mobo's, coz they dun sell easily, even last time, my Ai7 I had to wait for 1 month plus to get it, until I canceled the order.....Scan Art says that they dun hold much stock, because many people dun wanna use Abit nowadays

I guess it's DFI then...

DFI are for hardcores... Abit users are more towards the gentler side of computer users.

Maybe you can go for AN8-SLI. Its the same as Fatal1ty AN8-SLI minus the goodies. The AN8-SLI goes for about RM600 but the Fatal1ty is RM150 extra...

Heck, even both mobos uses same BIOS and drivers. The AN8-SLI ships Fatal1ty drivers...

@pcmoddingmy
yup, I agree with you, AN8-SLi is also a good board. Basically, both mobo's are the same, fatality ships with some extras like Ram Cooler, Fan Q-Otes instead of the heat pipe and some goodies, something like the Asus A8N-SLi deluxe and premium version, differences
