Experience With AMD Phenom + MSI K9A2 Platinum


* I'm new to O.C-ing AMD Platform. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

--- The Proc is Rm890, Mobo is RM550, Graphic card is RM 820. Got it all from SriCom @ LYP

Having alot of trouble with the MSI K9A2 Platinum Mobo + Phenom 9500

- Cannot boot stright away with USB mouse. Bios will ask u to press F1 to continue. It says " No PS/2 mouse detected. ( I'm using USB mouse )
- Ram running at Single Channel 5-5-5-18@800mhz when my ram is rated at 4-4-4-12@800Mhz
- No Option to change HT multiplier


[ Vista ]
1. AMD OverDrive won't run
2. MSI's own Dual Core Cell doesn't work either
3. HT multiplier stuck at 5X
4. Tried to CrossFire with 2X Sapphire Radeon HD3870, Performed like a single card. Single Card 3Dmark06 = 9735 points. Crossfire 3Dmark06 = 11452 points. (Using Catalyst 7.11)

[ XP ]
1. Won't automatically shut down the pc. Instead show " It's safe to shut down your pc now" and you need to press the power button to shut down the pc. Like those Pentium 1 & II days.
2. AMD OverDrive works, but cannot adjust a single value
3. MSI Dual CoreCell works, but reporting my CPU at 100'c

So far, best result is 2.47Ghz @ 225FSB @ 5-5-5-18 @ 900 mhz [ Bios OC ]
Primed for 30min. CPU Temp at 54'c with stock HSF
