Are week 38 CPU's as bad as the week 37's? I've got a week 38 3000+ and it overclocks like POS just as jay's...

Hi, I've tried to run it 240FSB x 8 multiplier and it crashed just as on x9. Is it the board issue? i can switch it for the MSI NEO2 for a little money, is it worth it? I read some people on various forums think MSI is crap and find the A8V much better... i'm confused now... I can also leave...

Zebo so week 38 is one of the early ones having issues with prime95 is it?

Thanx! I did, and it says 17 september 2004. What week is that?

is it maybe written on some sticker on the box, or maybe some software can read it? i'm not really into pulling the rig out and removing the heatsink etc... if i'm forced to do it, is it as hard as on the XP's was, and should i clean it an apply a new thermal compound once removed?

Hi, what is the safe vcore i can apply to the 939 3000+? I've heard that whatever is witin the 15% margin it's safe, so therotetically i could apply 1,525v and it would still be safe? But when i look at the voltage measures in Asus probe i see that the core is overvolted (it gives 1.44 when...

well the maximum observed temperature was 45C. is it overheating? also i'm running 1.425 voltage though the asusprobe reports 1.44 - 1.456 - 1.72 fluctuating. this is weird. should i put the voltage higher? won't it damage the chip with such fluctuations? what can cause them, the psu is now a...

well no i didnt't :( can i see it anywhere else maybe on the box or such? or maybe some software can read it? i don't really want to remove the heatsink, break the thermal compound so i 'd have to reapply it etc...

Well this is really strange. i can get to 266FSB with 3:2 divider and fly all the way from atlanta to orlando in FS2004, nothing crashes, this sim uses every resources possible at 100%. prime95 crashes after four loops or so like it used to. shall i believe in this 'p95 crashes on a64's urban...

Hiho, I've tried to overclock the following: Asus A8V Winchester 3000+ 2x512 Geil PC3200 (Rated 8-3-3-2.5) and got really poor results. First i've tried to run 9x220 and mem in sync (with 2:1 ratio on A8V and 10-3-3-2.5 timings, 2.8 voltage). I've run Flight Simulator 2004 and of...

Well i thought it's psu-related too, but the system (once booted ;) works stable running Prime95 for the whole night and MBM5 doesn't indicate any voltage anomalies...

Yes nothing happens means nothing - no beeps, no asus voice, no fans spinning, only green diode on the mobo illuminated. total no state change with the button press. The wiring should be OK cause my previous system was in the same case. Well I do have other PSU, but it's a 300w crappy PSU (from...

Hi, I've just got myself a .90 a64 with asus a8v dlx mobo. originally i wanted something on nforce3 ultra but unfortunately none were on stock, and after sweeping through some reviews here i found that the a8v gives slight to no performance differencle and overclocks good as well. but here...
