cool man,

 

the 4mb cache cpu's are hitting around 420 or so even with inferior mch's, let alone the good ones..

 

9x default multi my board'll boot all the way to 430, orthos stabilty is coming in at around 415-418fsb on the 9x multi, more than enough for anyone..

 

that's on 2gbyte ram too...

Seeing these kind of results makes holding out for the "other" board really difficult.

[RGone]

I heard that man...especially when you stop to consider the board I am using is my original board and has had the h*ly h*ll beat out of it trying to clock the original slow bioses...hehehehehe. This sum beech just keeps going and going and ....

Using air/water it's gonna be real difficult topping anything this board can do.

 

Then again there's seldom any logic used when it comes to 'upgrades', already got a striker extreme on the way, somehow I already know my expectations are going to be quashed on that board (I hope I'm wrong). Just looking for a board that really does 470fsb stable on the default multi...

I can't argue with that. After all, I have a Venus. If it wasn't for waiting this long I'd buy one of these today. But the end seems to finally be in sight so I'm going to do my best to hold out a little longer.

wait until I get my chance to throw up some numbers (been too busy fooling with NF590 and other AM2 boards but now I got reason to whip up on Rgone haha)

[raju]

well so far the grapevine is full of super pi stuff and sic mem speeds.. won't be long before we see the real stuff....

man this BIOS is amazing. im @ 400, trying higher now. couldnt even go above 360 before!

[Reinvented]

I gained an extra 40 FSB. I'm content I guess with the overclock. But, i'm swapping it out for the BX2 I just got.

 

Still a great board for the money.

This new BIOS is in-sane. I went from 370 to 420, with cooler temps. My NB is running really cool now. Unbelievable. I just wish I could boot in with the 400 divider, which is still impossible, so my ram is probably taking a beating. Keep in mind I am totally on air at 420 with 4 GIGS of RAM. This BIOS is amazing. Excellent work, excellent. A real triumph.

[flsflg]

Just a few more details: I set all the DRAM settings to auto except the divider (533) and the drive strengths (all at 3). That was basically it plus all the standard O/C guide standard settings.
