QUOTE(irenic @ Sep 18 2005, 12:00 AM) is this board good & stable for amd x2 processor? Make sure you update the bios to the one that supports X2 though. If you do it after windows reinstallation, using the uGuru utility to update the bios, you'll need to reinstall windows again. I leaned that the HARD way This post has been edited by wild_card_my: Sep 18 2005, 08:24 AM |

i was maxed out at 240* 10 with 1:1.2 divider giving 200Mhz ram speed...
I used the X2 3800...
amazingly, I managed to go up to 2.70 Ghz - 270*10, 225mhz ram speed on my new ASUS Premium board...
same chips, same rams, different boards... it could certainly be the board

QUOTE(jarofclay @ Oct 8 2005, 06:39 PM) Anyway, on the cpu end, that's quite a gem you have there. What voltage you engaged to get 2.8ghz and is it watercooled? 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  |

QUOTE(jarofclay @ Oct 9 2005, 12:08 PM) 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. 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... |

@aaron_lwm it's wierd that ABIT and ASUS take oposite aproach.. as for ABIT, the cheaper version of the AN8-SLi uses heatpipe to cool the birdge chip, while the Fatal1ty, which is essentially the same board with bells and whistles uses QTES fan... ASUS, on the other hand reserves the heatpipe for the deluxe and premium boards as opposed to their SLi offering... what do you think about this? p/s having held both higher end boards (Fatal1ty and Premium), i feel so special..  |
