well all i can say is this is a damn good mobo...
i managed to do 370HTT X 7 = 2590MHz
stock cooler...

dont believe???
see below...

congrat.... so d culprit is d bios...hhmmmm...

Glad that you got some o/c.
So, clockgen might not be able to tell exactly if PCI lock really works. Hng sent his bios to me which according to him, locked (he got stuck at 240HTT too). I tested on mine and it's not locked.

i think mine is locked, as the 2 hdds and sound card are working fine, no abnormal sounds coming out, hence after 6 hours of the stability test, the Pc is still working fine!

@briangan, ,may i know your cpu temp when it is the peak loaded. mine is 51c with stock HSF , wonder after aplying AS5 and ninja then how many temp will be reduced...

Well, the bios briangan gave is surely locked. What i meant is the bios that's downloaded from MSI website. Some people said it's locked (from clockgen) but still cant pass 240HTT. Your previous BIOS is having the same case.

i think mine oso locked lo...
i lost the bios u sent me dy...can send me again ar?

refer to page 1, and find the thread replied by davidletterboyz. There is a downloadable file name called version1

ok...
thanks for informing n thanks for the bios

wonder how come nowaday all sempron can OC tat high...is there any secret?lol
remember last time when sempron's hot, stil very few ppl get above 340, now seems all easy go tat speed

@superpc, with TT beetle then what is your cpu temp reading? Since your sempron is OC'ed so high, then does it still a bit of lagging when a heavy task is loading, because i think 256kb of l2 cache is a BIG bottleneck...

forgot the reading edi, should be around 50C i think.
but normally i run at 2.56ghz onli la, coz nid very high volt to reach 2616, tat wil easily spoil my proc.

well i just managed to climb untill 275 max.. i think my proc limit no sempron though.. put it 270 for stable usage.. quite ok ler 2.4ghz.. not much voltage modding also..
thinking to get a ram that can go 270 easily.. so no need to put 166mhz base ram there.. anyone can tell me which ram suitable for my setting..

for my case, i lower down the HT frequency, raise a bit nf4 voltage... no need to raise the vcore.. then hit 300HTT, the current problem is temp reading which reached almost 50c during idling....

does this mobo lock the sata clock?

Hi guys, i would like to share this modded bios file with those who r u using this exactly same mobo. I got this file from the MSI forum which modded by BOSSKILLER. The full picture can be cleared through here

I tried it out and it works for me...

mean got 183 ram base... modded from v1.0 eh? erm.. like dfi..
so if i put 270 my ram capable of 243.. u tried right is it ok?

i place 1 link here.. maybe quite usefull to get the setting figure..
http://www.short-media.com/review.php?p=20&r=300

yeah, like dfi one... suit for those who r using dDR500. i havent tested it yet as my ordered gskill ddr500 has not arrived yet...

i flashed already...

but for 183 i can only get 2300+ mhz with 260fsb..

then what is your previous settings?

i create a calculation to search the best tune..
as my cpu limit to 2500mhz and ram capable only 235mhz good in tight timming only.. loose it also can't go high...
the purple line is the previous setting



with 183 setting ram limit the cpu...
my hynix can go higher becoz capable of 245-250 but only 512mb...

but still wierd though can't even try 133 base..

now i'm running SUM % =3.37
for higher cpu speed.. reduced ram no much different.. can only feel speed power..
vCPU = 1.55 ,
vRAM = 2.70 , 2.5-2-3-5...
