Um, mine does have the SLI option.
I also have reached a higher overclock than with any earlier BIOS. I've been running at 250 HTT for a day now (1:1 divider and 1T). 244 was the highest I could go before.
Applying 'plenty of thermal compound' might just be your problem. You want as thin a layer as possible. More than that and it makes a good heat insulator.
Well, it ran stable for about two hours last night through various benchmarks and some gameplay. This morning however, it rebooted on me as soon as I launced Outlook Express. This was at 251 HTT, 1:1 divider, etc.
Then again, prior to this BIOS release I never got about 246 for even an hour.
I'm running the following:
Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe
3500+
2x512 OCZ EL Platinum Rev 2 PC3200
Right now I have my CPU multiplier at 10.5 and my HT Multi at 4x. Memory timings are 3-3-3-7 right now. If things are stable I'll try to tighten them some, but that's pretty good for this speed...
I had to go out, but now that I'm home and have eaten I'll play around some tonight. With 1.005 I was stable up to 245 at 1T; we'll see what happens tonight.
I just grabbed 1005.003 and I'll see what's up with it. I've had slightly better success with each release so far, so I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Oh, and hi Veedo ;)
