How did you manage to break a ASUS A8N SLI?? That series of motherboards was built like a rock. My Deluxe is still working hard with my Opty
An e-beer
What happened?
CAS6 might have something to do with it on the 4950 run, but just all kinds of wrong tweaks (or lack thereof) on top of that, wrong BIOS, default install of XP SP2, etc. I switched to a stripped XP SP3 installed, did the right tweaks and all was golden. I even ran it @ 220x20 (880 6-7-6) after I posted that screen to make sure it wasn't a BCLK issue. It was like .03s slower on 1024. It could be CAS6 is just an issued at higher CPU speeds. The next time it's cold, I will try it with the exact same settings (ie. 225/900 CAS6) with the right tweaks and see what happens.
I did notice on at least a couple of >5GHz SPi's that CAS8 seemed faster than CAS7, so it's definitely a possibility it dislikes CAS6 @ 4950 (especially with HT on). The higher the CPU clocks went, the more tight mem became a problem for stable CPU. I had to drop from CAS 7->8->9 to get benchable from 5000->5150. No amount of Vc would fix it. I'm betting Vtt would, but we need to find a workaround for the OVP
Odd as C1 is mem, but I have tested the cpu and mem in another board, and they work fine. Also tried lots of other sticks of ram, but with no luck.
LOL Dean I said find a workaround, not kill the board Speaking from experience, it always sucks when a vmod goes badRoss killed it
No, no, really.....It's all his fault
