Allthough I am pleased with my A8v Deluxe I am not to happy with the weeny v-dimm of 2.8v & to top it off the OCZ mem booster I have is not compatible, also it has a 3.05v over current protection on the v-dimm. I tried to use a 50k pot smd grabber on it as insturucted by the fine OC'ers at extremesystems, but, for me, it didn't work, all I got was a black screen. Might RMA my #2 crappy MSI Neo2 and try for #3??
HforH just set your multi to 9 or 10 and set the v-dimm to 2.8 and see how far you can get the fsb. If you have lower oc'ing ram use the 11 or 12 muli's in the bios...all FX chips are unlocked form the factory. That way you can get the most out of chip & mem. 1.7v is the max for FX chips, I tried for a few minuties and ran prime 95 but my cpu temps went to 75c!!!!!! And that was under a XP-90!
