anywhere else one can obtain the stepping?does this mean anything? ADA3800DAA5BV
Edit: forget that, thats just his model number i think, well the maximum overclock he has got so far is 2.5Ghz with no real tinkering with memory timings or anything, he has mushkin extreme performance 3200 (the black stuff) running at CPU/12 ratio, all he done is upped his voltage to 1.4V and dropped HT multiplier to 4x, gonna see if we can get 2.75 tomorrow, his cooler is CNPS9500 by the way

It will do over 3ghz with phase, at 1.8v though, not ideal for 24/7!
what motherboard do you have? has anyone heard of the A8N-SLI being iffy when it comes to overclocking, cause mine behaves in a bizarre manor, the second i try 250Mhz it crashes and says boot failed due to overclocking, how high do these boards go cause i have apogee waterblock so temperatures aren't issue, but i just got round to cooling the chipset and voltage regulators (just above CPU socket), will that help overclocking cause the A8N is passive cooled usually

thats cause desktop monitoring things are generally crap, but it doesn't seem possible for me to boot at 250Mhz, which is what i need to get CPU to 3Ghz, watercooled so the temperature is nice and low, anyone got any idea how to get past this stupid annoying brick wall i have ran into, gonna have a fiddle with it sometime, i have most recent ASUS bios, know if theres any better ones?
