If the results are that close, I opt for ATI since the IQ is better.

X1800XT Crossfire edition cards

As topic states. Just wondering what ppl have to say about dropping X1800XT Crossfire card prices. Wth the arival of the new X1900 series one would think the X1800 would drop in price more. I have an X1800XT, but am pondering selling it for a X1900 XT or XTX. If the X1800 XT Crossfire cards drop...

A8R-MVP or A8N Premium?

Should there even be a question? If you want to OC please stay away from the A8R-MVP. Take it from someone who owns one.

ASUS A8R-MVP stable @325MHz HTT

What is the highest HT setting ppl are getting? Highest I can go is 600. My bus is 270 x9 = ~2.4GHz. Any suggestions on improving the HT up to 800 or 1G?

ASUS A8R-MVP stable @325MHz HTT

Interesting. If I ran your exact settings on my system and powered down then powered back up it would not boot up. For some reason the vcore does not want to stay beyond 1.427 if I power down. I can achieve your same overclocking only by tweeking the BIOS until it gets there, and the BIOS seems...

Sounds good, I'll have to try that. Now, the big question now I have for you, have you tried a cold boot yet? As in, did you shut the system down the power it back up? I can got up to 2.8GHz almost but once I shut down and power back up the VCORE gets finiky.

But, I think you are still limited by the VCORE not the memory clock. I have tried setting mine to 133 and still achieve the same results; cannot go past 266 bus.

ASUS A8R-MVP stable @325MHz HTT

I have an Asus A8R-MVP and have trouble getting past 266 bus becasue of the VCORE. Yes, I have set it to 1.4v w/ over voltage enabled. On initial cold boot the VCORE does not go over 1.427 or so. However, once the system is running the VCORE adjusts slightly and peaks around 1.5v. I was able to...

ASUS A8R-MVP stable @325MHz HTT

I finally put together my A8R-MVP with a new Opteron 165 today. Very funky vcore to be sure. I put a Thermaltake watercooler on it and managed to get it up to 2.8GHz. The temp was steady at 95F. I'm sure with better vcore options I could get it up to 3GHz. I think the stepping on the CPU is...

*** Official ASUS A7N8X/Deluxe (nForce2) Thread ***

OK, thanks for the info. I tried registering my MB on ASUS' website and it told me the serial number did not exsist!? Odd. Maybe it's a counterfit MB. Does ASUS have a support phone number? It's hard to navigate their website and find it.

*** Official ASUS A7N8X/Deluxe (nForce2) Thread ***

Anyone know why my Asus A7N8X Deluxe cannot power on with a new ATI X800 XL AGP card? The motherboard works fine with my ATI 9600XT AGP card in there. I have updated the MB BIOS to the latest version, 1013. I tried a new poer supply, thinking my Enermax 550W (4 years old) was going bad. I bought...
