Thanks for the suggestion Mucker, trouble is i'm in the UK and i don't think NewEgg deliver here, and if they did i'd get slapped with import tax. Damn English tax laws! lol!! I'm liking the more roomy PCI-E slots on the Expert model as i'm a fan of Arctic Cooling on the vid cards. It also has...

Q]Nah, Superpi is not a good stability test for the CPU. Any program you'd run on a system that can pass Superpi but not prime will crash if CPU use gets anywhere near 100%. Thats what i thought. Looks like the Lanparty Expert has just come into stock at OCUK so i think i'll bag me one of...

I'll tell you right now it's your motherboard. The A8N-SLI Deluxe has an ongoing (and apparently unfixable) issue with FSB's higher than 250 and 1T command rates. That's exactly why I bought a DFI board about 6 months ago. If you're serious about wringing the max performance out of that CPU...

Hi! Would appreciate some help with ocing my Opty 146 CABYE 0540FPBW. I am having serious problems getting stable at over 2.5Ghz. My specs are in my sig but having swapped both the PSU recently and the mem from Corsaig to G.Skill i am beginning to think my mobo may be causing me problems...

Hi! I have the A8N-SLi Deluxe and am trying to OC with an Opteron 146 CABYE 0540FPBW and 2gb of G.Skill PC3200ZX ram. Thing is, i am having serious problems getting stable over 2.5Ghz. No matter what mem divider i run or settings i choose it seems to be prime unstable. I'm hoping someone...

Ok, i'm getting really frustrated now! lol!! i've changed my psu to a brand new Enermax Liberty 500W modular supply, with dual 12v rails at 22amps each. Thing is, all this has enabled me to do in Prime95 is get to 2.8Ghz without Illegal SUMOUT errors, but i get rounding errors straight away no...

So anyone else got any thoughts on the power issue here? think it could be the source of my probs?

Right, run memtest test 5 through 23 cycles and no errors reported, that was with the FSB set to 280, 333Mhz mem divider and no errors reported. I'll try playing with the MAL and preamble, but don't know what i have them set at at the mo. Someone over at PlanetAMD has just suggested that it...

Anyone else got any thoughts on what my problem could be?

Thats possible, it runs fine at 2.5ghz but errors out after that so i may try giving your suggestion a go. I'm raelly stupmed by this. i can get up to about 2.7Ghz with just the rounding errors, but after that i start to get the SUMOUT ones. Seeing as the stepping i have was meant to be one...

Hmmm, i had thought about that. Was planning on buying and SLi psu soon as will be savin up for a 2nd GTX what with Christmas just around the corner and my birthday a month later! I was wondering if my mobo wasn't up to the task as, like i said, i can only find OCing info for this cpu with DFI...

Hi people! New here to the AnandTech forums! I'm having some problems with Ocing my new opteron, here's the story so far... I've recently changed my Corsair PC3200XMSC2PT 2x1gb set as i thought this was limitting my potential OC. I bought some G.Skill 2GB 3200ZX kit in the end, which i...
