QUOTE(lohwenli @ Jun 5 2007, 11:19 PM) I don't know any way to check the sata clock. Even hooking up a osciloscope would be useless because there is no stationary waveform on the SATA data lines. I'm not sure how to check if there is a dedicated crystal oscilator or IC to generate the sata clock, or if its based on an existing clock. Some boards have confirmed that the sata clock is based on the PCI-E clock, but not sure if this holds true for all boards. Everest Ultimate have sata reading: Give it try...

QUOTE(mfa333 @ Jun 9 2007, 03:43 PM) ahh, i forgot i still haven't play with multiplier... thanks for reminding me...  btw, HT link around 1000-1100 still acceptable right?  I keep my HT below 1000. Setting HT multiplier @ 4x wont effect performance much.

QUOTE(kalakatu @ Jul 21 2007, 09:05 AM) no i didnt..if i still using the 1T setting, of course the beep sound will be heard, or my pc will went to blank screen.. but my problem is it will automatically restarted at boot screen, even when i use the same setting like before with my previous bios.. now achieving only 2.5GHz is so hard to do anyway how about the other setting like spread spectrum and anything else? im afraid i 'ignored' them.. Try disabling spread spectrum. I did it on mine.

QUOTE(dblooi @ Jul 21 2007, 05:47 PM) Just try to OC with new mobo biostar TF-7050, able to hit 3.2GHz easily cpu-z validation page: http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=219196Walau!  Just bought 2 biostar 7050 with 3800 x2 last week for media PC. I didn't realise that it's easily overclockable.

QUOTE(dblooi @ Jul 21 2007, 10:28 PM) maybe you should give it a try btw, it is bcoz my proc boleh tahan also la. if get laosy proc cannot go high also I built them for my brothers. Haha. I have no chance to overclock it. LOL. Is the overclockability attributable to new nvidia 630a chipset? I am thinking of getting a new MOBO to OC mine. 590 SLI or new 560 (AM2+) chipset or this 7050/630a? Please share your thought on it? Thanks.

QUOTE(dblooi @ Jul 22 2007, 04:07 AM) The new 560 am2+ chipset is just a BIG LIE from biostar. Actually it is not an am2+ chipset , just compatible / support am2+ platform like any other Nvidia 5/4 series mobos . http://www.ocer.net/article/a_show.php?id=11232Take a look if you are able to read chinese, it shows that 560 chipset is just another am2 chipset which the Hyper Transport Speed is 2G also. If it is an am2+ chipset, it should be able to run at 3G. Also , i heard that the OC ability of this 560 mobo is not as good as his senior TForce550SE. You can try to get 570SLI or 590SLI if you plan to do some great OC as the OC ability of these mobos are confirm good. I've bought this TF7050 bcoz i addicted to MATX mobo adi, dunno why but i just love matx mobo so much.... Tailow. Thank you for the advice.

I've heard that it is not just ordinary brisbane, AMD has implemented more transistors into it, but dunno they've got fix the L2 cache latency problem or not. How about AN9 32X? Is it a good OC board? Please advise. I got offer. QUOTE(casperito @ Jul 22 2007, 01:30 PM) i've read the articles about BE-2300 & BE-2350... no good... the OC ability is very low... the proc onli use low wattage onli... they said that the BE-2300 can be compared with x2 3600+ and the BE-2350 can be compared to x2 4000+ but to me, x2 is better than those BE's proc... it even cannot beat C2D E2140 in OC for christ sake... no use to test this... next week going to a fren of mine going to buy this proc and test it... but i doubt it will perform good... AMD release this proc i think for user who want to save power not OCing,., Yup. That's what I heard from CZone. The fella told me not to get it as it's energy efficient version of AM2. Instead I bought 2 units of AM2 3800. This post has been edited by ronaldjoe: Jul 22 2007, 02:01 PM

QUOTE(dblooi @ Jul 22 2007, 02:11 PM) i hv no idea about AN9 32X . sorry maybe you can try to google it  I am concerned that 590 SLI is an old chipset (It was released sometime ago).  Wondering how would it perform... Else getting another T-Force 7050 would be a better option. Haha

QUOTE(kalakatu @ Jul 22 2007, 05:13 PM) i cant pass FSB 300MHz, which is easily achieved when i was using my TForce 570U still wondering, whats happening actually  I had first hand feel on T-Force 7050/630a when I installed it. It was a very nice built board. Is it bcoz of the board and different chipset 570 vs 630? Northbridge of T-Force 7050 was surprisingly cool...

QUOTE(dblooi @ Jul 22 2007, 06:17 PM) yeah same thought , the northbridge is really cool. Currently i feel like 2.44vdimm is not enough , i'm looking for a way to further increase it (vmod perhaps...) . If you know any method that i can increase the vdimm, do let me know ok? Thanks I think I should get T-Force 7050/630 instead of 590 SLI board This post has been edited by ronaldjoe: Jul 22 2007, 09:08 PM

QUOTE(afosz @ Jul 22 2007, 09:20 PM) It didn't happen before you flash the new BIOS right? I wonder what went wrong  You can't pass FSB 300, what does that mean? Even with some tweaking here and there, the error msg after saving BIOS appear is it? If that's the case, well basically I'm facing the same thing. I once tried FSB 306 and 311, can boot but fail in Orthos. But I get the beep sound if I make it to FSB 316. TF7050 is a better board for OCing compared to TA690G iinm. It just that TA690G comes with slightly better VGA for someone who is short of cash to get a stand alone GPU  What do think bro?? TF7050 only RM280. Whereas 590 SLI easily hits RM500-600. AM2 gonna out paced by Phenom end of this year. I am thinking of push my rig kau kau. Haha.

QUOTE(kalakatu @ Jul 22 2007, 09:50 PM) no error message of whatsoever..there are 2 problems so far, and it happened either one in one time; 1) after done tweaking in the bios, i save and restarted, then the pc will reboot..but unfortunately what happened was blank screen, and both of the red didnt light up 2) even if i managed to pass the problem above, the second problem that appeared was restarted during the boot screen (only restart, no BSOD) before flashed to this BIOS, i managed to get only 2.8-2.9GHz highest..but looks like this time it becomes even worse than before what should i do guys  Flash back to previous BIOS if you suspect it's the problem. You can always revert back when it's needed.
