    A8N-SLI Deluxe: Add Memory = No Boot

    Okay, so I at least got it to boot now. I have my memory settings to manual in BIOS and for whatever reason adding another GB of the same RAM makes it not boot. 1GB Successful Settings in BIOS DRAM: Manual,400,2,6,3,2,11,13,4,3,1T,Enabled To get it to boot I have to take the new memory...

    A8N-SLI Deluxe: Add Memory = No Boot

    I have an A8N-SLI Deluxe with BIOS 1011 and 1G of Kingston HyperX RAM (KHX3200AK2/1G). It is working flawlessly so I thought I'd treat myself to another 1 GB of ram. I went out and bought the EXACT SAME RAM kit to avoid any issues. Problem now is that if I install my new RAM my system will...

    NEC AccuSync LCD200VX. Too good to be true?

    I came across this NEC ASLCD200VX monitor for sale @ Best Buy for $499 CDN which seems very reasonable for a 20" monitor from a reputable manufacturer. Problem is, I searched the internet and really can't find much about it. Not one review. I am wondering why. Is it a cheap/crappy monitor...

    Windows XP Professional x64 Edition: Drivers, Free Trials, and Availability

    I'm curious about the upgrading my XP 32bit. Does this mean I am breaking the rules if I dual boot XP 32 and XP x64 until I figure out if x64 is ready for prime time? What if I decide that x64 is not for me. Can I go back to my XP 32 bit version and install it using my old product key or is it...

    A8N-SLI Deluxe & Winchester 3500+. Help with OC for new user

    Well, I did some upgrading today. I returned my memory (Thank you to Memory Express my local shop for the excellent service!) and replaced it with Kingston HyperX KHX3200AK2/1G kit. It is a CL2 memory that is obviously much better than what I had. The Kingston literature rated it at 2-3-2-6...

    A8N-SLI Deluxe & Winchester 3500+. Help with OC for new user

    Okay, I'm stubborn and don't want to give up just yet. What I still don't understand is why my RAM won't operate with the CPU at 240 Mhz and a RAM divider of 5/6. As Whitewolf pointed out earlier, it works out to 188 Mhz which is still below the 200Mhz it works at "out of the box". The RAM...

    A8N-SLI Deluxe & Winchester 3500+. Help with OC for new user

    Well, I tried what you said and lowered the memory speed to DDR200 seems to have fixed the problem. It boots, but of course performs poorly. Cheap F$%*& Kingston RAM! I should have known when I set it to 2-2-2-6 and I had to jumper the mobo to reset bios settings in order to get it to boot at...

    A8N-SLI Deluxe & Winchester 3500+. Help with OC for new user

    Okay, after a long day and night of trying different overclocking options I need your help because what I thought made sense doesn't work. I took the advice from the forums and isolated the CPU, mobo, and RAM max speeds and found the following: 260 Mhz max for mobo, 240Mhzx11=2640 Mhz max for...

    A8N-SLI Deluxe & Winchester 3500+. Help with OC for new user

    Thanks for the quick reply. I will give it a try. I was just going off the Kingston sheet that listed the voltage as 2.6+/-.1. I assume they are conservative for obvious reasons.....I will crank it up and see if I get any further. Should I always make sure HTT is less than 1000? I thought a...

    A8N-SLI Deluxe & Winchester 3500+. Help with OC for new user

    Lots of good information! I tried overclocking last night. Seems like I can't get over 220 FSB, multiplier=11, Vcore=1.525, Vdimm=2.700, HTT multiplier=5x, Memory set as DDR400. I'm not sure what SOLstice is referring to above with 4XLTP, but it looks like what I've listed as HTT multiplier...

    A8N-SLI Deluxe & Winchester 3500+. Help with OC for new user

    Thanks for the quick tips. I'm not quite sure I have all the memory settings straight in my head, but I will give them a try tonight after a BIOS update. For example, Fumunda lists setting as HT 3x, Mem 333, FSB 230. Doesn't that work out to a 3x230=690 HTT speed versus the default of...

    A8N-SLI Deluxe & Winchester 3500+. Help with OC for new user

    I have read all the posts here and I can't help but ask a lowly, simple question. Is there an overclocking for dummies for this board/cpu combination? I would like to overclock my machine, but don't play a lot of games. I am looking to shave time of engineering FEA calculations that can run...
