Hi

I have just installed this motherboard from an MSI K8N NF3. The problem that i am getting is that my Bench. score on this board are about +-20% Less than my older MSI, and the PC is kinda slow in comparison. I must then OC the bugger to get close to the STD score of the MSI K8N NF3.

Problems
1. I checked the FSB in Sandra soft = 1 x 200Mhz. Shouldnt this be 4 x 200mhz to give me a total of 800Mhz But the CPU Runs @ 2Ghz which is right.
2. Bench scores are +- 20% Less

Can there be something wrong with the board?
What should the Setting in Genie Be. I got it @ Mulity @ 10 and FSB @ 200Mhz. What else should or can i change.

Please help
Setup
- AMD64 3200+ 1mb Cache
- 500w Power Supply
- Apacer Ram 2x512mb CL3
- ATI 9800Pro
- DFI LANParty nF3 250Gb

Struggling with this for last 2 days none stop.

Thanks

OK. Got it fixed up. The 3200+ 1mb CPU was the problem.

Upgraded to the 3400+ and its smoking now.

What kind of probs were you having? I'm running this combo now and have noticed lower memory bandwidth benches from sandra then my asus k8v . I'm gonna tighten up the mem timings and see if that helps.
