    AW9D MAX OVerclocking RESULTS

    ok folks

    I am officaily recommending this AW9D Max motherboard. The reason for which is this

    With my week 29 Conroe 6600 2 gigs of corsair ram and watercooling CPu I tested them out on my work collegues Asus P5W DH Deluxe. I could NOT achieve a stable overclock higher than 3.689 if I went to 3.17 it went unstable and was unable to boot to windows. However using the exact same components and installed on the AW9D Max motherboard I achieved 3.817 STABLE and stable for TWO days straight!

    Even with the Corsair Value Ram I was using I knew that if I replaced the northbridge block with a W/C cooled block I could EASILY break the 4 gig barrier.

    Anyway I am including a link to my overclocking results and super-pi results.

    They way I see it is that if I can do this on Corsair VALUE ram and the Standard UNMODIFIED Aw9d max motherboard, then you can all do it

    This motherboard is the business and I offically recommend this board.

    Jsut one thing please ABIT. PLEASE PLeASE please! Hurry up with an offical 1.3 Bios to fix the bootstrap 100/133mhz and the memory speed/timing.

    I want to be able to select a LOWER memory speed to achieve HIGHER FSB!

    Again thank you abit for going to the MAX on this board.

    cheers

    If only I could afford such components.
    Either your lucky or that CPU is better than I thought.

    are you running 1.3b3 as that's supposed to be good?

    I remain to be convinced that the 1333 boot strap is actually going to be worthwhile for E6600s & above.
    Sure you may hit a higher fsb if your CPU can hack it but it comes at a performance penalty so you have to get a significantly higher fsb to match let alone beat the 1066 performance.
