Ignore the crazy speeds you see AI give you. I have seen the same thing and had CPUz running at the same time and it did not change. After a few seconds AI would go back to normal but like I said CPUz never changed.

Thanks stevty2889, what does the AMD driver seem to help if you are not using CnQ?

I am running an X2 4800 with WinXP 32bit (going to install 64bit on another partition so anything here that applies to it also let me know). The AMD driver seems to be needed only if I want to use CoolnQuiet but otherwise does not do anything, correct? So if I am not insterested in CnQ don't...

Yes just choose a slower memory setting, it lists it as the DDR value so just half it.

I am running 1006 Sumotku, but it did the same thing with 1008 and beta 1010.

Man, thanks bigscience that fixed it! What a stupid thing to cause this issue! So for the archives to overclock a A8N-E you have to enable the floppy drive wether you have one or not.

Well doing it from the BIOS does not work period for me the FSB will not go post what I listed. However if I use AI Booster to do it from within windows it works just fine. Well sorta, seems AI Booster forgets it was OCing and goes back to normal sometimes. So I can do it in windows but if...

Thanks for the input yall, I have the memory slowed down so it is not an issue while overclocking the CPU (at least trying to). I will turn it back up later. The PCI-E does not have an auto setting and the PCI on auto made no difference. I bumped the DDR volts a little more Regalk but...

Please help, I have read the forums and such and I am having no luck, I must be missing something easy and it is about to drive me crazy! I can not get this sytem to OC any at all, not that it's not stable just that it refuses to actually do it. I can make all the changes in the BIOS and...

I thought about the Opteron, I called Asus and they tell me it is not supported. I figure they have to say that but in looking around I just have not been convinced it will work with this mobo. If anyone is, has or personally setup (in other words positive) this mobo will run the Opteron let me...

This is my first AMD system in a very long time, after looking around and having information overload I have come up with the base system. I wanted to run it by you guys to see if I missed a possible snafu. ASUS A8N-E eVGA 256-P2-N518 Geforce 7800GT Athlon 64 X2 4400+ OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR...

I just got off the phone with Asus and they tell me the Opteron is not supported on either board. I knew they did not list it on the site but I have seen people post here that seem to be using an Opteron in them. Not sure if they are just not supposed to tell us it is supported or if they know...

Cool thanks I am 95% sure it will be one of these two ASUS A8N-E or the ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe I really don't think I am going to need the SLI but the 8 phase power supply is very tempting.

Just checking here, if a motherboard is compatible with the X2 dual core CPUs it will also be compatible with a dual core Opteron right?

Excellent, thanks for the info and sorry I did not check the sticky myself. I guess being new to AMD and these forums I am still in information overload at the moment. LOL now I am thinking maybe I will go with a non SLI board (if there is a good one in comparison to the SLI boards) because...
