I have the same board and the same problem with data coruption useing Opteron 165. What RAID controler are you useing the NVRAID or the Silicon SATA controler? I currently have a RAID 0 with my two hard drives on SATA 1 & 2 conectors on the NVRAID controler. This is really annoying me and I...

Use nail polish remover or pure acetone. Do not use anything that has any type of oil products in it (i.e., WD-40...etc).

So has anyone had to reinstall Windows XP after OCing their Opteron 165? I am scared to OC now because the last time I tried my System32\drivers\nvatabud.sys file got corrupted and Windows would not start. Has this happened to anyone else, how could this happen, and any ideas on how not to...

What do you mean by problems and what are your system specs.

I did, I think it may be a memory issue since I am useing 4 512 sticks of RAM. At least pulling two sticks out will be the next thing I will try to get my overclocks higher. Anyone know How do I find out the stepping of my Opteron 165 and how that relates to its OC potential? I never though...

Thank you all for your help.

Thank you all for the inforamative replies.

Would 4 512 sticks effect overclocking? I can't get my Opteron 165 past 2Gigs and have Windows load. Windows just locks up on start up, and then it gave me hard disk errors in which I had to run CHKDSK and a restore point in order to get my computers PS2 ports to work again! Could this be...

Wow that is a really nice OC... I am jealous. I do have a question though. I bought my Opteron 165 from Zipzoomfly, not think that some Opteron 165's were better than others! With that said, How can I tell what my stepping is on my CPU, and how the stepping will tell me if...

*Bump* I would be interested to know as well since I am currently running 4 512 sticks!

Well I have some updated info if it helps anyone. I tried to OCing my system a few more time last nigh. This time I dropped my memory to 266 MHz, and I did not get a problem till Windows was loading, then right as my speakers gave a little thud noise to indicate windows had activate my sound...

I just installed an Opteron 165 and I can not get a clean POST with the two FSB settings that I have tried. I tried to first set my FSB to 266 with a 9X multiplier = 2394Mhz and I also tried 245 FSB. On both of these setting I had HTT set to 3x, I had my RAM set to 333Mhz (should be the...

That seems like as high as it will go for a notebook, remember LCDs have a native resolution that they can not go above and that they look the best at, it is not like a CRT where you can keep bumping it up to a point. My 19" LCD only goes to 1280x1024 max...the price we pay for eye comfort!

I would just like to post my experience, and thank everyone who posted this fix on the other thread. Like all of you my fan started giving out. It started having an erratic fan speed, and after my system was powered on for a while, I swear to you the fan sounded like an air compressor from...

I have a question. When I brose through the topics on this form, why is it that ever time someone talks about a problem with, or even just discusses, an ATI or Nvidia card, we have to get into a flamefest of fanboys? All I see here is Rollo asking for a little information, while remaining very...
