How is tis board for overclocking, i know it will not going high because of it's low voltages, any opinion on tis board bout OC???

eeee finally a thread to discuss my asus baby.

Alright, let me point out some real good points of this mobo in OC:

1.Hassle free with bios, constant update of bios.
2.No worries about northbridge cooling.
3.Provide sufficient voltage range for decent OC ( Yeah, i mean for air )
4.AI Overclocking ( Er..Guess none of us really need this )
5.Backup Bios bla bla bla ( No worry when crashing ur system )

This is the Vcore ranged supplied:
My stock vcore : 1.35

It gives me : 1.35 , 1.365 ............ 1.5V

Vdimm:Gawd...forgot liao ><..around 3 V i think

Just read tis... Some says The PCI Slots not enuf power cannot support DVB-S Card

ya, quite agree with the auto bios reset and hold down insert key feature to reset bios, no need to open the side panel and pull out the jumper, which i quite frustrated doing so in other mobo, when OC too much FSB the sys failed to start...

Well...do not ever pair this mobo with LianLi VB1000 series... putting the mobo upside down

The logical air flow by Asus is inverted..u will get negative cooling effect on the heatpipe

reeeely? i was about to buy this board. and yes, to pair it with V1000

Get Antec P-180 + Ninja Scythe !!!

This is the best setup @ air for tis mobo

but i dont really see a prob if paired wif V1000, cos the cpu fan can blow some air
towards the heatsink on top of the mosfet, the again, the hot air can be suck out from the casing fan.

then how bout WC, the heat pipe i think will sufficient cooling with case air flow, cause no more cpu fan?

What he meant is that in an upside down orientation, the heatpipes might not work properly since some heatpipes only work in certain directions. I don't know about the one on the A8N-SLI Premium tho.

same is abit NF7 mobo??

read some review sometimes ago, if WC, might have a problem, but if really wan WC, can consider Gigabyte cos the on top of the waterblock got fan to cool down the mosfet.

hi...i just recently got a A8N-SLI PREMIUM b4 that im using DELUXE version...

i just wanna ask....

what is Chipset, HT Voltage that is extra added into premium instead of DELUXE.

and how does it effect the CPU voltage and how to set it to OC ?

The chipset voltage and HT voltage is meant to increase chipset stability when overclocking high. I think it didnt effect CPU voltage

EDIT: I was wrong,at first I thought it uses the new nForce4 SLI X16

SLi = for sure its using the nForce4 chipset..

but i put all the voltage all high when i OC .... why comp so unstable?

can u all guyz post your detailed settings regardless what RAMS or PROC u alll using....
so i can have the basics and then start fine-tuning it...

i think i'm in a good section here...here's mine after oced wif my combined 512MB Kingston KVR DDR400, 1st module is Micron -5BG n Elpida dunno wat type though.here's the detail, in order to get even higher CPU FSB, i have to decrease memory frequency from DDR400 to DDR333, before that, with DDR400, i only manage CPU FSB @ 220x9, which only get 1980MHz@1.9GHz,beyond that, not stable... .so, after doin some research n experiment, i decrease the mem frequency index under bios menu, n set to 333MHz, n get 277x9 @ 1.45VCore/2.9VDimm,3x HTT.long story short...here's the screenie...

i wonder, my external clock speed supported is 3.70GHz, my bro Core oni 3.0ghz, can u guys explain this?mine is venice n so is his... AMD Athlon64 3000+


after 38% oced... dunno if i can get even higher than this...


that's ntune screenies...

ok guys, any comment?suggestions?

btw, i'm using 350W Enermax FMA for this experiment, perhaps wif liberty 620w can get even more?or anything else?

premium should get higher speed i think, my A8N-SLI non premium can run 312 htt stable...

312HTT?to me, higher HTT doesnt improve anything, it lead to unstable oni...i rather go for higher CPU n RAM speed.

if we wanna hit higher cpu and memory frquency, htt higher means will hit higher cpu and ram speed, how to get higher speed without high htt???? juz lower ur hypertransport then will stable....
