3200+ venice wall...

[Titanburner]

(3200+ "venice")

I've tried everything to get from 2.4ghz to 2.5 even...

I tried timings with my memory (starting to think the flashy led's were a bad choice..lol) voltage (past 2.9v it doesnt even boot).

I know this thing hast to be able to at least make 2.5ghz from just what i've seen, I mean I know all processors are different but with people hitting 250mhz above me... I must be doing something wrong. Anyone have any ideas?

post the exact settings from bios if you want help...

go search for the s939 template by a_g to make things easier

[smolt]

haha yeah we can help a little but you have to do lots of reading on your own. since you dont have a DFI board.

you should start here

ms means are you using software to overclock your computer?

software are usually unrealiable... so you gotta do it in bios..

asus bios's are limited ( not found..lol) so if your serious about overclocking.. get a dfi board

Limited yes, but so far I really cant tell the difference... maybe you can explain it to me? More options yes, but how frequently are they used? So far everyone that ive seen that has used a DFI board has got pretty much the same results as with a ASUS board... and the options that matter "most" I have, so why spend another 100 bucks or so just yet? I can see maybe way later on when 939 is truly outdated, but until then I see no reason to change. A opteron 165 with CCB1E stepping is pretty much getting the same amount of speed increase on a DFI as a ASUS sooo..? Dont get me wrong though, if I had to do it over again id get a DFI, but live and learn, and from what im seeing paying out $100 for a DFI is a waste of money, especially when I have a pretty decent dated mobo that works great. I might be wrong though, maybe there is some HUGE difference, but if there is and you have examples of how HUGE then maybe you could show me?

[red930]

I'm just kind of curious why you're posting here and not on the Asus forums?

[Evil-Fruits&#124R4z]

Because no-one replies on the Asus forum and as for there official website - sheesh talk about slow and underpowered.

 

Friend of mine wanted some help flashing the BIOS on his A8N SLI SE, took me 2 mins to load a page on a 4MB connection...told him it be easier and quicker to buy a different mobo! LOL

[oc newbie]

I dont know about asus but i think 315 fsb and a 10x multi speaks for itself, click the ocdb link in my sig. look at the ggg thread for 165's too there are some good ones in there but like i said i haven't seen to many of asus overclocks.
