ok, now u can start to oc ur proc to the limit....

Question:
Which Mobo would OC better for a new AMD rig?

The Abit KN9S or Biostar TF560 A2+
Would the difference be worthy of the Biostar's solid capacitors and SPDIF out?

Thanks for the time!

Er wait. Where is the ram/htt divider ? This time really can't find it anywhere @_@.

Owner of KN9-SLi please advise on this.

[Ah nvm got it.]

i thought KN9S also got solid cap??
oic, from the link provided it's not solid cap. but got some bulk seller selling Kn9S with japan's solid caps..
solid caps sure worth to get coz much more reliable and solid performance, much more stable if u running ur system in ocing mode....

TF560 A2+ seems to be having a more overclocking friendly BIOS. There's a lot of extra options that can be tweaked. I don't see much fine tuning options with ABIT BIOS.

Besides, TF560 A2+ is a better looking board compare to the ugly brown KN9S.

still new here...ive read evrything, and ive tried to ec..
this is my rig
athlon x2 4000+ 65nm brisbane,
biostar tf590sli,v2X1gb corsair xms2 800,
seagate 160, ggbyte 7900gs turboforce,
ggbyte odin pro 550w..

ive oc it;
cpu vlt=1.5v 2.6ghz ht250 x10.5

can i get it higher?..did i oc it correctly, coz i thnk im the only whose cpu vlt is 1.5v

IMO, i think your vcore is high for a brisby.
Mind to shoot a cpu-z printscreen here?

-pWs-

quite high... 1.5v can get 3.2g..

i will post the screenshot ASAP. btw, i oc it through auto setting in bios.. it said extra ordinary performance...

set manually la..
vCore:1.25v
vdimm : 1.8v - 1.9v
250fsb can do easily..

Do as 8tvt suggested. Set it manually.
If that vCore is not stable, increase it one step somemore.
Use Orthos to test stability for at least 8 hours

-pWs-

auto overclock is boring and lame. i suggest you do it manually by trial and error. extra ordinary performance is nothing extra ordinary.

Biostar TF560 A2+ user here.
So far this board is rock stable but the chipset is quite hot.
Screenshot below

Good...
The chipset of TF560 is not quite hot but DAMN hot compared to TF7050.
I am getting a FOX-2 blower before start over clocking.

u are right about that.
I also planning to change the chipset heatsink but still can't make my decision of what heatsink to use
btw i still using stock cpu heatsink. Just waiting my CM Hyper TX to arrive

loL...nice line...
yea really u will get addicted to the BIOS if u really trial n error oc...

Biostar TF560 A2+, hot mean?
even my A690 chipset also hot to touch.. but i do some sensor reading around 43C on load.. could be the heatsink is the culprit..
if want to replace also the orientation is a bit different..

WOW!!! Really really low voltages!!! Can definitely go to 3ghz I think . Mine at 2.8ghz needs 1.4v to be stable Using the same board and so far I've pushed it to 2.96ghz.......after that gerenti BSOD while windows is loading. Is the proc at its max ady or is it my windows problem. I've tried this with basiclly all possible settings and voltages.

already try increase the voltage BSOD ar???
what cooling are u using??maybe the temp ar??

ive tried to oc manually..
now my vcore is 1.425, 250 x10.5= 2.6ghz
whenever i change the frqncy to 260,its not stable.pc wont boot.
i cant change the multiplier. can i?
