A8R32-MVP what is it

raja,

BF2 seems ok here with the new patch

Bios is reporting

Channel A 750ps (Auto)

Channel B 600ps (Auto)

No idea why the channels are different though

Ok Raja

we are slowly learning how this board ticks , i will leave my skew set to auto just to see what it does ( as a control against your fixed settings )


Blinder^
I must be the only one using the pci one then , to be honest I just bunged it in the first one i saw , did not even think about it being the pci one, let me d/l at 1.23mbs with < 1% cpu useage

lordedmond - aye I did the same, then decided to disable one lan port in the bios and just use one - ended up being the top was as it was easier to reach :) I doubt it'll really affect performance at all - windows will be the limiting factor if anything...

BF2 runs fine for me here
 
Hi,

Just a thought, I think it maybe better to ask that question at one of the more xtreme forums, as I don't think many of the guys that have it here at present are using an fsb that high????


Regards
Raja
 
I bought Toca race driver 3 while i was out.

The dreaded Starforce Protection will probrably wipe my board out now its running fine.

:D

Shouldnt laugh really but im dreading installing it

HI,

I just posted an email to Gary Key over at Anadtech, asking how he's getting on with the board now. I outlined some of the overclocking issues, and have also asked him how high he managed to go with the fsb, for the benefit of those who wish to overclock closer to 300.

Hi, I got more problems now :-(, I tried running TOCA RaceDriver3, just into a race the PC bluescreens with a irq_not_equal, so I put my old sticks back in and TOCA runs like a dream. Just to try it again I put the Corairs back in, TOCA blue screens, plus I get the no booting into the bios first off. Put my Kingstons back in, fine, boots first time and TOCA runs ok. Put the corsairs in, no boot, all the fans start the HD makes noises but it doesn't go into the bios, put my Kingstons in, fine, put a single corsair in - no boot, tried the other, nothing, tried different slots, not a dicky bird, nothing I can do but the PC will not now boot with the corsairs in place. Jeez, what is going on here, is it bad ram or a bad motherboard, I'm fast running out of ideas and patience now, I'm not so bothered about the HD, they are fine as long as I don't have booting issues, which I do seem to have with the corsairs now.
Frustated is an understatement, help!!!!

i would clear the bios , unplug ,remove batt, change jumper .

on mine the mem skew thing keeps changing , I do not have that game to test with

but it does sound like duff ram , have you another pc to test it?
 
Hi Lord Edmond and thx for your reply, it does sound like bad ram, just my luck really, although both?. I'll try clearing the bios tomorrow as right now I'm going to enjoy my sat night, wine is open and the curry is cooking :-)

Hi Andy

just look what you started with your before launch m/b :D

I would say along with Raja and Coolasmoo plus others that you could buy this m/b now and be happy but flash to the 311 on asus ftp site plus others

Hi again , just wanted to say this thread is like a good book you cant put down , an epic , twisting and turning , i am going to have to get another mobo soon its just killing me being left out .
 
about overclocking

Hi,

I have found that on my system I can set the fsb to 224 at a multipler of 12 to get around 2.7ghz.

Now if I knock the multiplier down to 11 without changing anything else the board won't boot.

So I have to set the fsb back to 200 then go to 220, and work up in increments of 5mhz or so just to be safe, now I'm at 245 @ 1T, and have just that extra bit of bandwidth.

So yes the board will overclock reasonably, but it is finnicky, you can't just tap in a known fsb, you have to work up slowly. Whether or not Asus will entertain a possible fix for this is unknown at present. I will forward this info to Gary.

Will someone else try the same? Lower multiplier higher fsb for same cpu speed, so we can see if it's random or not????


Thanks
Raja

That is just the same as the a8r-mvp is you have to creep up on it.

btw my mem skew has gone back to 720 and 600

I dare not try any oc with the chip at this time as i have a thermal problem .

temps are under control at this time but its a bit boarder line may have to get some water cooling on the gfx like coolasmoo has
 
Hi, I have a boot issue with my corsair sometimes too.. sounds like the pc is running but theres no picture displayed.

I would like to overclock also, but I dont know how.. would one of you folks post up a guide using this motherboard on how to do it? I would be happy to paypal someone to help me do it right..
