My Abit-KN9-SLi FSB goes up to 260 stable, but as soon as I shut the system down, turned the power off, and then tried to a cold start, the KN9 SLI refused to POST. Clearing the CMOS would always allow the system to start up, but the problem would always return if I started overclocking again.

Since so many KN9-SLi users can achieve high OC, anyone can guide me? What bios version you all use?

i noticed alot of ppl here using ABIT mobo and 3800+ windsors and 3600+ brisbie to OC.

wat u guys think about gigabyte ga-m57sli-s4 mobo wif 5200+ windsors???

and i notice oni 1 ppl using 5200+ here

y har? not a good proc???

just wanna knw more

If you want to oc, better stay away from Giga due to limited option of overclocking.
And for the processor, nth wrong there. If 5200 F3 Windsy, den lagi best

This is during idle....My second core is much higher than first core. It's normal for Core 1 to be higher than Core 2, but not the other way around right...

it's just depends on the user budget and target. normally ocer will get the lowest clock possible and try to oc to the highest/max possible he/she can achieve. .

Using 7600GT
Temperature increases when ram is OCed higher as a portion of GC memory is shared with KVR
Now it seems like I can't OC further as I didn't lower the ram divider.

my windsy no such problem wor...
abt the same most the time...

wat u guys think abt abit KN9SLI?

a nice mobo to OC compare to gigabyte ga-m57sli-s4??

erm... another thing,... if im not going to use the SLI function... is there any other mobo tat hav the same build like the 2 SLI mobo above and without the SLI function?

IMHO, abit KN9SLI is better. if u dont wanna SLI mobo, can just try Abit KN9 Ultra or KN9S..but KN9 ultra hard to find nowadays, just go for KN9S..
maybe u can try biostar mobo??they got easy bios and have a lot of ocing features....

Mind to clarify a little on what are the features that are lacked in gigabyte series bro? my current gigabyte is my 3rd am2 mobo... and since ive experience only a limited numbers of boards, i cant really see what are the options that im lacked of.

In term of ram timing, there are only CAS latency for user to play with.
Your mainboard model?

-pWs-

hmm.. that doesnt seem to be the case with my board. Im using the GA-MA69G-S3H. The ram settings are highly tweakable, even the NS settings is available at my disposal... I have access to basically all the ram settings that is tweakable...

my friend's rig using Gigabyte S2 (AMD690) .
yes , there are more than CL to tweak for memory but no any voltage options (CPU , mobo chip , memory semua tadak)
can use x10.5 multiplier when disable CnQ and push Brisbane 4000+ up to 2.5XGHz (due to stock voltage)
now daily use 2.4GHz

Do you press Ctrl + F1 to unhide the hidden feature???

-pWs-

the F1 key on my bios only unhide the RAM/HT settings, where else the HTT/multiplier/vcore/vdimm/Nb and Sb V/pcie is all in the MIT.

I can hit 3.2Ghz with my board 1.55 vcore.. max vdimm on my board is 2.4v.

Did you try to update the bios?

giga 57SLI PCI bus frequency unable to lock.

therefore, when u OC, the PCI bus frequency go up too... all PCI bus device... including sata (hdd) oso effected...

and it will cause ur pc unable to boot up...

correct me if im wrong!

just read the past few page....to those who will get their F3 stepping proc, do pm me if you want to sell your brisbane

What method you oc?
Through BIOS or nTune?

-pWs-

I heard from Jy14 that DFI ultraII-M2 new shipment is coming.
Thats a great mobo for am2.try pm and ask him.
