I fully understand how minimal the increase in performance is likely to be for the exact configuration I'm trying to reach. I simply want to know why the BIOS doesn't allow me to use those particular memory dividers in this particular case. The reality is that I can run 200 mhz (DDR 400) at...

Nope, moving it to 333 doesn't cause the problem. Do you fully understand cool n quiet or have you never used it? The default multiplier for this CPU is 9. The muliplier is lowered to 5 when idle by cool and quiet and raised back to 9 when at load. If you manually change the multiplier in...

I realize I can move the LDT to 250Mhz or anywhere between 200 and 250MHz. The problem is that I want to run at 9x multiplier so that cool and quiet can still be active. At the 9x multiplier I can't get anywhere near the 250MHz without severly overclocking the CPU. I want to know WHY the bios...

These URLs show you a similar BIOS screen to what I'm discussing http://pics.bbzzdd.com/users/JustAnAverageGuy/CIMG1806.JPG http://pics.bbzzdd.com/users/JustAnAverageGuy/CIMG1807.JPG Note those pics are from a Premium and I'm working with a Deluxe so the HT voltage and chipset voltage...

Dunno, Seasonic isn't going to want to replace it so long as you are above 11.6V as the ATX 2.x spec allows for 5% under or over. I'm also running that PC at stock speeds (no overclocking) so the voltage usage is at the minimum I could possibly make it without cutting case fans. I'm...

You can have sufficient Amps and be low on Voltage for the +12V rail. I'm not using the tuner card you have but I can vouch for the Seasonic Super Tornado 400W being sufficient for a 3000+ CPU, 6600 vid, 2x CD, 5 80mm case fans, etcetera. Under full load it gets into the 11.8x range on the...

I wouldn't even consider using the Asus A8N with anything less than 18a on the +12v rail and a 24 pin connector. It'll cost you more in the short run but I'd recommend a Seasonic power supply. If you never ever plan to use 2 video cards (SLI) then you can get away with a Super Tornado 350...
