try reformatting your machine
my guess is your windows is screwed up due to failed ocing previously

Im using k8n neo 2 plat, u can enable the fan to follow the temprature. not bad .

anyway im having problems with this board
cant seem to get 250ht stable.
current config is 250x9. Htt multiplier is 4
rams are running 166 ( currently 205 mhz at 2/3/3/7 at 1T(still not stable with 2t either) at 2.75 volts (winbond ch-6)

oh and my a64 is currently a winchester 3000.
it aint stable when i prime it. after 5-10 minutes, error

anyone got ideas?

how come winchesters dont have multiplier at 10x?
instead of 9x?
is this normal or is my msi k8n neo 2 bios has a snag in it?

Here's my screenie?
any advise?
3000+ Winchester
Msi K8n Neo2 Platinums

250fsb x 4 multiplier
rams are at 1T at 2.7 volts ( winbound ch6)
i cant go above 270. not sure why...timing at 270 with 166memory devider dont give me any good responds even at 2.85 volts


this processor should be able to go up 2.6ghz at 1.6 volts..but im not sure why its acting up. voltage for 2.2ghz is at 1.45.
even i pump up to 1.550(max this board allows), i cant really boot up also

anyone got tips and hints for me? i suspect my rams are the culprit..bloody dual sideds

im using winbound ch6's..should be equivelant to bh-5s but little bit more voltage needed than bh-5 to do what bh5's can do.

yeah i read alot about bios 18.
im using 1.b sideeffect's modded bios


i heard alot about bios 18. i will try it later and see how it goes. target to reach 2.4ghz.
offcourse im still on stock voltage as i just got this board n proc last week. will see how everything goes.

nope failed with 1.8's too
now im using sideeffects 1.37b bios
manage to pull 260htt...still priming after 2 hours...will see if i can push further to 270 later on .
i have a strong feeling its my rams letting me down. currently they are doing x166 devider at 215mhz 2-3-3-7 (2.8volts) at 1T
