Instability

[Ketxxx]

might be an odd bios issue, remove the cmos battery and power cord and leave it for 5 mins then redo the settings. if that doesnt work increase vcore\vdimm voltage a tad.

i have the BIOS that come with the mobo, there is a new one in ASUS site, but i don't know how to flas a BIOS , is there any guide in TPU?
at 1800mhz this don't happens, so i'm thinking is the PSU, or it needs more voltage

 

[cdawall]

you have an asus just use the winflash that came on the mobo disk it should have a readme

 

[pt]

I have been checking ASUS forum, and i'm not the only one with this problem, more ppl can't up the FSB much without it freezing at boot

 

[cdawall]

lol poor you

lol poor you

i think i'm lucky i can get to 279, the guy who posted the thread said i coudn't pass from 230

New problem
While i was playing RomeTotal War BI at max settings i enter in a battle and after 5min. the screen goes black and the computer freezes, this also happened in C&C Gennerals :shadedshu

I'm thinking it's not the overclock, but the PSU this time, what do you think?
If you think it's a PSU issue, what do you think of this one (i'm low on cash)

might want to trry something in the 600-700watt range just in case cause a 50watt increase isnt very significant if your going to spend money on it dont go half way w/ it

 

[pt]

it has a 34A in total of the 12v lines, one with 16, other with 18, i'm not thinking of going crossfire, i just want stability in overcloking the cpu, reliability, and efficiency (80% this one),
it cost 45€, my raidmax costed me 35€, i think it' a good deal
the purpose is having a PSU with more A's on the 2v lines, the raidmax has only 17A

whatever floats you boat buddy i was just saying bigger is better but then again i do come from texas honestly if i had my choice id have dual opty 2xx for a quad core system on a tyan board sli'd 7950s and a 1kw psu yeah i said it 1000watts but those are kinda expensive

lol
i'm happy with what i have, i just wich i had a better HDD, and a BIOS that isn't crap
for a PSU i need one that fits my needs, and this one will probabily do the job

 

[cdawall]

lol good luck

amps matters much more than watts, watts means nothing, its amps you want all the way.

and use asus update to flash your bios

 

[cdawall]

the coolermater 1kw has a LOT of amps i think it rated at like 40a or some shit like that

 

[giorgos th.]

i`d say a nice combination of watts-amps for efficient load situations..

thanks, i already used it, everyone with this board is complaining abou the same, the BIOS sucks ass, i'm hoping ASUS to do a better one

 

[cdawall]

ouch sux 4 you

40a?? mushkins 650w unit has a combined amperage of 44a take THAT coolermaster

 

[cdawall]

oops i meant this one not coolermaster big f up on my part sry http://www.pcpowercooling.com/products/viewproduct.php?show=TC1KW

 

[Ketxxx]

yeah 70a makes sense for a unit qualified for quad sli.

 

[cdawall]

you bet it does 70a peak 66a reg load man that is insane and i think there are some out there that run more i will look into it

 

[cdawall]

most ive seen so far

the monarch pc one sais it get 75a @900watts

 

[Ketxxx]

thats a lot of amps......in all honesty i think thats a bit overkill even for quad....ok its very overkill 65a would be more than enough.

 

[cdawall]

lol it is a huge amount but did you read it was quad core ok i think you could run a dual set of quad cores and quad sli on that beast

56A for me, take that mushkin
