Sorry - this is an OFF TOPIC post aimed at EagleOne: Hey Bro - you pm'd me a question and I can't pm you back because of your settings, so even though this post is completely off-topic for this thread (full apologies to Locutis!) - here is the information that you requested: Anyway, the...

Sounds like a motherboard bug - The M3A32-MVP and the newer M3A79-T versions )no experience with any "G/GX" chipsets) BOTH have a bug that won't run the HT at what you set in BIOS - you have just as much chance running close to your NB speeds with the HT set to AUTO as set manually to any...

No Surprises...but there are 2 little tiny screws on the exhaust plate that need to be removed before you can pull off the top - but you should be able to see every screw clearly on the bottom. This 'fan hack' was written *USING* a Sapphire 4870X2. Not too sure what you're doing wrong, but...

I've never personally used MX2, so I can't say anything about it - I only speak from experience. As for if it's worth it or not, that's really a question that needs to be looked at subjectively...ATi says the temps we're seeing with the X2 cards is within parameters...we're just not used to...

The AS5 dropped my full-load to 76*C...Ceramique may not deliver that, but just could last longer... No one needs to tear apart their new card like I did, it's just 1 option of several that does work wonders! Psychlone

Nah - Most recently, I've had AS5 on my HiS HD2900XT since the day it came out...running a strong overclock for well into 2 years with no change in thermal paste or temps as of yet. At some point, I know that AS5 will indeed need to be changed, and considering the high amount of heat that...

A lot of us are experiencing temperatures that we're not comfortable with on our new ATi cards, and while ATi says that these temps are acceptable, some of us disagree. There are a couple different ways to control the heat...let's explore them: Replace the Thermal Compound Removing the...

Huh...I suppose that all that info is wasted here at [H]... it's made sticky status on 3 other forums though. If I were to guess, this information is trivial to anyone who already knows how to overclock a Phenom and the M3A32-MVP (or any other AM2+ CPU and motherboard) - but certainly it's...

Here's what's possible with a good stepping and this guide: (all stability tests were run BEFORE validating any CPUz...) http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=391337 http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=391343 http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=391344...

Below is my current overclock using BIOS 1102 - again, DO NOT just input these values into your own, either you'll not be stable (BEST case scenario) or you'll fry something altogether - you'll need to do the legwork yourself for YOUR components. MAIN Press F4 and we'll see some 'hidden'...

Alrighty then... Some here's some terminology that we're going to be familiar with by the end of this post: TERMINOLOGY and BACKGROUND INFO: AMD's HT: HyperTransport (HT), formerly known as Lightning Data Transport (LDT), is a bidirectional serial/parallel high-bandwidth, low-latency...

Here's a TON of information collected and discovered over the course of testing 4 Phenom 9850BE's that is sure to help some of you with any AM2/AM2+ setup, as well as my current BIOS options for my overclock for the M3A32-MVP Deluxe and 9850BE. DISCLAIMER: This tome of information is...

I just got one from Newegg on Thursday. CCBBE 0615DPMW (Newegg ALWAYS gives out the best steppings!) So far, I've cranked it up to 3096MHz (344HTT 9X) on 1.584V (this was with some real loose timings!) - and it kept going, but it was getting too hot, so I've since backed it down to 2.8Ghz...

For those of you that have the A8R32-MVP, and the A8N32-SLI, you can use my BIOS guide HERE as a template for overclocking your systems. The A8N32-SLI and the A8R32-MVP are pretty close in BIOS options, but the guide was written specifically on an A8R32-MVP machine, so you -SLI owners may have...
