Weird Overclock issue.
I've just put together
Asus M2N8-VMX socket AM2 AMD Athlon X2 3600 AM2 2 x 512M PC6400 Elixir DDR2 800 SDRAM Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 PRO PWM 600W PSU I've managed to get it happy running 2 instances of Prime95 with the clock @ 250 MHz, giving CPU clock of 2375 MHz. The CPU temperature is staying in the low 40's centigrade. I had to set the RAM to 667 in the Bios to achieve that speed. The only issue I have is that when I restart the system it will sometimes give a BIOS overclocking failure as it restarts. This failure is intermittent and occurs with the clock as low as 218 MHz. It also fails with the multiplier @9 & 220 MHz. Voltages/AsusProbe/Bios 3.3/3.31/3.31 5/5.00/4.99 12/12.93/12.86 Any clues about how to get it to restart reliably with a better overclock than 218 MHz ?

You didn't mention HT speed. if you are going to clock it at 250MHz, you should lower the base Ht speed to 4x from 5x. That may be the problem. -- Want the ultimate in free OTA SD/HDTV Recorder? http://mythtv.org http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html Usenet alt.video.ptv.mythtv My server http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/cpu.php HD Tivo S3 compared http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/mythtivo.htm |

I changed the "MCP61(SB) to K8(CPU) Frequency" from 1000 to 800. I assume that was the HT speed. It did seem a little strange at the time, the options were 1000, 800, 400, 200. No 600.
