What exactly do you mean by "You should condition your chips before you use em"?

Buy, it, install it, run it undervolted at the lowest possible speed keeping it as cool as possible for 14 days........ everyones intterpretation and method differ, it's not a sceince, more a phobia! :eek:

Huh, well I guess I'm sort of doing that right now, I have mine undervolted as low as I can go on stock speeds.

I actually have heard of doing that but I never really believed it.

It has worked for me in the past, the idea is to break them in gently with absolutely no electronic degredation and modest heat, too many of us (me included) get the chip outta the box, install it and within half an hour have the thing overclocked by 40 - 50%..... thats just not good, you wouldnt buy a brand new card and the first time you drove it do 150mph.

Well OK you might but it aint gonna do it much good!

Hiya Folks new to the forum. . . been lurkin' for about a month. some pretty incredible clocks coming up around here. Been reading around and there seems to be a major problem with the foxconn A79A-S . . . multipliers not changing clocks when adjusted and whatnot. :shadedshu The whole thing sounds fairly unbelievable Foxconn has some of the best bios talent in the world. What gives any one have real true hands on ? :confused:

I know for my board (A7DA-S) they released a BIOS to fix that very problem.

Might want to check their website (www.foxconnchannel.com) and see if a new one is available.

The newest bios is reported to fix the problem. There is another forum that is harping that it didn't do anything ... Like I say it seems hard to believe to me. I've always had good luck with Foxconn a company similar to DFI in my book. I'm about to pull the trigger on this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.165050

getting the A79A-S for $60 doesn't seem like a deal that can be beat.

Well it's certainly working on mine. The only problem it has is that you can't set the NB multi lower than the HT multi, otherwise it resorts the HT link to 1000Mhz.
