AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (Winchester)

Yup, you can drop you RAM speed down to stop it limiting your cpu overclock.

Woooo thats darn tempting

btw to Mr Epox chap Ive always used your boards and they have been hassle free and done what its said on the box gets my vote

oh right i know wat u mean now, didnt realise thats wat u meant

[da_ging]

should be getting one of these puppies next week

although i'l be damned if i know what mobo to pair it with

decent review although a bit daft not having any benchmarks results from a higher up a64 such as the 3500

oh and the overclocking wasnt hard core enough

just happened on this and the review - how on earth did i miss it??!!
good job I got one the other week then

now, its a week 48 one, how do we know which ones are good at overclocking a touch and have no troubles as I hear different weeks have different abilities it seems.

p.s. I like the table listing all variations of AMD64's and at the bottom it says 'Street Price'...i have the vision of some bloke in a rain coat opening up one side to reveal a load of cpu's hanging on clips "just for you mate, a fiver..." lol!

get an asus a8v deluxe

I have this MB with a Winchester 3000+, but am unable to get an OC past 2Gh... Once my FSB reaches 216Mhz, my SATA drive corrupts and I have to rebuild my HD from scratch...

I have heard it mentioned to drop the HTT from 5x to 4x, but will this help my SATA problem?

Cheers,

Tim

what revision board is it as rev 1 boards are not locked

if it is a revision 2 (they all have working agp/pci locks) you may be better off using the promise sata rather than the via sata ports

and yes you should also drop the htt to 4X

[Kosh42|EFG]

Swapped the SATA to the Promise controller, set HTT x 4, VCore to 1.45, RAM to DDR333 and FSB to 275... And its stable

I found that on my asus a8v-e the first time i tried to oc.
I flashed the bios and 4 some reason it no longer corrupts sata. If an oc doesnt work it simply resets tot he neerest setting. I only can get fbs to 250 (2.25 gig) stable and found running ddr500 ram helps since its natural fsb is 250.

Ops didnt read ur last post.
One questions whats htt and does any1 know how 2 change htt on the asus a8v-e via?
