    ASUS M5A97 R2.0 FSB max @ 300 Mhz?

    Hello, I have managed to overclock the ASUS M5A97 R2.0 to a bus speed (FSB) of 300 MHz using the phenom x6 1045T. But the second I try and set the bus speed (FSB) a bit higher like 305 MHz, windows keeps crashing! Would this be a limitation of the board since it's a 4+2 power...

    You got RMA from XFX or your Vendor? I am still waiting for a response from XFX to see if I will RMA it as well.

    Low Benches with my XFX HD 4890

    I confirmed at these timings 4-4-4-12 the speed has to be lowered to 400Mhz and I saw no increase at all in the benchmarks. Oh yeah I also confirmed the Rops = 16 and shaders = 800 so that too is ok. :frown:

    Oh sorry my current mem timings are: 5-5-5-16 are those better? or they have to be tighter? I will try using 4-4-4-12

    Ok I will check the shaders and ROPS tonight. And for the Winrar speed, well i got 2 new Seagates 7002.12 500GB and I formated a 60gb partition on 1 of them and installed a fresh Vista install with SP1 *********** My original tests were with the 2 drives in raid0 on a 60gb partition...

    Low Benches with my XFX HD 4890

    Ok the energy savings are off in bios, and in WinRAR I am getting around 2074 Kb/sec. AA/AF in the ATI control panel are disabled. My CPU Temp at 3.6Ghz is 60 degrees celcius on the hottest core the other cores run cooler around 58. The CPU voltage is at 1.52 to 1.536v when...

    XFX HD4890 Voltage Regulator

    By just looking at my HD-489A-ZDFC , it doesn't look like the same pcb as the powercolor or the amaze. ARGGGHHHHHH !!!! :disgust:

    Low Benches with my XFX HD 4890

    Ok I will accept that 3D Mark is too old for my card , but in 3D Mark Vantage test I only get around P7450 points , with my CPU at 3,6Ghz and i know THAT score is way too low for the 4890. Am i right?

    XFX HD4890 Voltage Regulator

    Great, from all the 4890's I had to buy one that doesn't have the reference design hence NO Voltera 1165 chip. Does anybody know what chip this crappy XFX card uses? and if it's possible to raise the core voltage? Thanks! :|

    The only reason I bought the card really is to bench it. The game I play 90% of the time is online chess, and that doesn't required a hd4890 :D

    Now I know it can't be my CPU This bench is very close to mine: http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=862717 and his CPU score is lower than mine, but his 2 GPU scores are way higher So it has to be an issue with the card, or drivers or chipset, wow it's gonna be a long night...
