Is the temperature at idle or at load?
A bit too low temp. What cpu hsf are you using? What app are you using for monitoring the proc temp/

I think you're running the CnQ. Run a CPU intensive program and I'm sure it will go up to normal speed. Use some program like Orthos to stress the CPU...

Do you want to run CnQ?

Maybe I am, but where do I disable CnQ? I can't find it anywhere in BIOS

its normally in the advanced power management settings in bios =) its probably together with the wake on LAN stuff =)

ehehe, and let me know how much u can oc with it..collecting a database for steppings and good luck

disable CnQ if u wanna OC or else just leave it on =)

I don't think there's CnQ feature in this board, can't find it anywhere, even in Advanced Power Management

Or do I need to update BIOS?

EDIT: problem solved. Been googling around, at last find an update, and there's CnQ in APM. Thanks a lot

Now i got 2 mobo.

GA-K8NF-9 (Rev 1.x)
-AND-
Abit KN8

I wanna oc my AMD Athlon64 X2 3800+ s939. Which one is more suitable for me to oc and which one is more oc-able?

Coz now max out my 3800+ @ 2.7Ghz using 1.5Vcore.

1.5 Vcore? Isn't it too high already?

Anyway, I manage to OC my Brisbane until 2.55GHz and I can't make it to 2.6GHz. Do I need to change PSU or better cpu cooler to reach 2.8~3.0GHz, hopefully

gigabyte neon k8

my cpu voltage is 1.23v only... running at 2.62ghz

Try the KN8 Ultra, im using it. A very good budget overclocking board.

He's using Toledo, so the voltage is acceptable.

@uzairi - Eh? For toledo core, 1.5v is acceptable meh? For air-cooling or water-cooling?

I'm using toledo too but at 1.42v already me sweating like what......

Yup, 1.6v also can but too much heat created and not recomendded for 24/7 setup.

Toledo at 1.6v??!!?? Could you please give me some references and hyperlinks on this? If these voltages are considered safe for toledo (relatively speaking of course), me wanna OC some more!!!

actually 1.6 is not so ok... coz i 2.70GHz @ 1.5Vcore, speedfan showing 60C++
its more when check with core temp...

so i downclock a bit running at 2.67GHz @ 1.42Vcore.. Temp is acceptable on my nitrogon nt06. orthosing at around 50C++ with low fas speed...

Just wanna know if i change mobo to KN8 <-- Not Ultra
dunno can run at lower vcore or not ler???

BTW, is my psu consider good for oc? see my sig...

Ya, I tried 1.45v and managed to get 2.85 Ghz! However, my core temp jumped up to 61-62'c!!!

Decided to put back to normal vcore...

I should think a 500w PSU should be enough, as your rig doesn't consume much wattage....

Using watercooling, even with 1.6v you can get low temps.

KN8 ? Why not u try it yourself ? My KN8 Ultra is doing great currently.

Which psu ? Acbel 500w? Not sure myself since my acbel 450w ipower also not enough juice for my rig.

Owh, okay then. But surely it would be better than your current mobo.

@ uzairi - thx for the reference! Really helpful!

Was wondering whether you can tell me where you got it from. Wanna see what other info they have!

I guess my toledo would be safe until 1.5v. However, at 1.45v and at 2.84 Ghz, already 60-61'c!! More than the recommended max of 60'c.....

ya lo... toledo is the hottest x2?

Im not sure where i got it from, long time already. When the Toledo first come out as AMD Athlon64 3700+.

Yup, they are among the hottest x2. Dual core opty is using Toledo too IINM, not sure about it.

ya, dual core opteron is based toledo core but with 1MB L2 cache.
