Anyone with an FX60 and this board?
It's my understanding that the Vcore adjustment range listed in the BIOS is tied to the CPU ID. That is to say depending on what CPU is installed, your max Vcore selectability will change. My CPU is being properly reported, but i'm only seeing 1.4v as the maximum selection (I'm aware of the additional .1 and .2 available from the Vcore overvoltage setting) Even with that am I only going to get 1.6v? as my max limit from this CPU? Yes it's on Phase Change (Prometiea Mach I) so I can handle high Vcore (though admittedly I cant get it as cold as a Mach II GT) but I digress...
I just started cranking the setup and right now it's only at 3ghz (which most people are getting even on air with this CPU) and my Vcore is still reporting in the 1.42-1.45 range (I have vcore overvoltage still set to auto at the moment and Vcore itself set to 1.4)
EDIT: CPUID is reporting (approx) 1.568v with 1.4 +.2 overvoltage selected, I can boot into and run SuperPI, 3dmark 05,06 without problems but prime 95 crashes almost immediately @ 3400mhz (17x200) Ive backed it down to 16x210 (3360mhz) and so far prime 95 is stable at 3 hours and counting. Still, a 760mhz FX60 stable overclock on a Mach I is not too shabby.
