your doing something wrong man...

you need to set the memory at 400 mode in the bios.... and set their rated timings and volts in unganged mode and turn off the auto express...... try that... i assure you that that's half you problem...

what bios you using A?

I did that, had it at its rated timings, volts and always have my ram in unganged mode. Autoexpress is never on.

I'm running BIOS 1203.

God this board is getting on my nerves.... I can't figure it out.:confused: Back to 2.8. :(

you mind taking a few pics of your bios under jumper free config, and some of your settings elsewhere?

Hey CP whats the most i want the mobo temp to be at?..

36c or is it 46c?

bro my mobo at one time ran at about 44ºc with no problems. However now that I have it out of the case, never goes over 30ºc even at full load.

Aphex:


Try to have your CPU NB voltage at 1.35v. Also try to lower your SB voltage to about 1.24v. Other than that, I think its ok. What is your mem rated at, DDR2 800 or 1066???

Aphex, here are the settings that worked for me straight out of the box.

FSB @ 210 with multi at 15 3.15 GHz.
NB multiplier at x11
CPU voltage at 1.325v (raise accordingly one notch at at time if not stable)
CPU NB voltage 1.35v
VDDA voltage 2.6v
Hyper transport at 2.2 GHz
North bridge settings in this order
1.5v hyper transport
1.24 NB core
1.9 NB pll

Southbridge 1.24v

If you havent, try those settings dude, they seem to work perfectly for me since I bought my 9850 (RIP LOL), and for mostly everybody I gave them too! Let me know how it goes dude.

Well y'all I'm gonna wait for the 45nm "Deneb" parts

My problem is selection of a motherboard is going to be tough, here are models that I'm looking at.

My criteria, good feature set (I haven't used firewire so that wont phase me at all), excellent Overclocking capability, and top notch stability in stock and overclocked environments.

There is one thing though, I have some reservations on Asus boards from the past, I just don't want to repeat the mistake I did when I got the P4S8X. Proof of quality is needed on all boards but I will be extremely judgemental of the Asus boards quality, as I've did some searches and Asus seems to have quite a few issues with their retail boards.

Also some research on overclocking of the above models is appreciated.

Same results... I guess I'll just cash my check and buy me the new FX MB from Asus.

If that doesn't help then I'll just refund it and perhaps wait a bit.

Dude, what I am scared of is when you get the new board you get the same results or hardly any better. If you got a bad chip as far as o/c'ing, the board will help, but you might not get much farther. You can also save up some money and get a 9850 for about $160 with out a Heatsink on Newegg. Or even the new 9950BE 125w version, it is $184.99 with free 3 day shipping :toast:

alright, got my daily settings from my 9850 to my 9950 now. 3.15 GHz.

210x15 @ 1.36v (stock AMD cooler, no water yet)

Heres a comparison

9850 ------------9950
Super Pi 25.203 25.281
3dMark CPU score 4627 4659

So far looks like both CPU's are dead even, however if I recall correctly, my ram timings were different with the 9850, I think they were tighter so I was getting slightly better times, but I am not 100 & sure, so don't take it for granted.

bit more testing

both CPUs at 217x15 (3250 MHz)

9850 & the 9950 both managed to do the same exact time of 24.453 sec.

However the 9850 took 1.392v and the 9950 is at 1.36v and on the stock cooler while the 9850 was on water with cooler temps.
