Starting off:

A8V Deluxe 2.0 needs a bios flash to at least 1.07 version for 90nm to work.
It will boot up and get you to the bios and you can boot to a floppy and even the windows cd.
However it won't get to formating your drives.

3500+ I used a little bit more AS5 than a 1 1/2 grains of rice and it turned out fine.

Default vcore = 1.4
Default multi = 11

I clocked mine at 220*11 no problems. 2402mhz
Memory needs to be set on the asus board at a 2:1 ratio they are saying this because you might get confused. They have DDR400 right next to the 2:1 ratio setting.

Memory = 2.7
Memory clock = 220
Mem = 3-3-3-10

TEMPERATURES
Core = 1.575
FSB/HTT = 220
IDLE = 49 celcius Load = 58

*note it doesn't need 1.575 to run at this

Core = 1.5
FSB/HTT = 220
IDLE = 42 celcius load = 50 (In-place large FFT's(Maximum heat))

BTW.. I had the temp on this thing up to 85 celcius and it was running just fine that was at a vcore of 1.675
But I had asus flashing in my face telling me not to do that so I adjusted it.


To be Continued...... with more settings.

2.5 GHZ

Vcore=1.5
FSB/HTT=227
Multi=11

TEMP
43 celcius idle / 50 celcius prime 95 - In-place large FFT's(Maximum heat)that is what it says


Edit: Surprisingly I upped the voltage to 1.525 and the idle temp dropped to 38 celcius and load hits around 47 celcius

Now these are the kind of clocks I was hoping to see. :)

How long does it run prime?

Well it errors out on prime with vcore at 1.575 on the large fft's but on the small fft's it can run it all day

At 1.6 vcore it is stable but temps go as high as 60celcius

nice, what heatsink are you using?

that asus thing with calling ddr400 speed a 2:1 ratio instead of 1:1 like most other boards is annoying. it was really confusing when i first built my system

Heatsink and fan is the alll copper whomper zalman c7000-CU

Prime would bomb out sometimes and then I would give it a little voltage and things would run fine, 3dmark, prime, encoding jobs.

2.6GHz, and these are the first batches. Let it mature a few months and We'll see 2.6GHz nearly stock voltage..


Just pure speculation, but it seems thets where things are heading at least.

Tonight 5:30-6:00 EST

Going for 2.7ghz

How do I go about getting a CPU-Z screenshot up on anandtech?

I would like to see that 2.7ghz!

2.75 on air hmm, and 3.0 on water it looks like.

I'll see what it can do on air. What temp do these fry at? I said earlier that I got it up to 82 celcius. How much further do you think it could go temp wise???

Do you mean you can boot to floppy with earlier bioses?

yes, however I pulled my hair out until I realized I needed a flash. It wouldn't boot with both blue dual channel slots filled. I pulled 1 512 out and left B1 filled and it booted. Did my bios tweaks. Initialized my raid 0 array. Went to my slipstreamed copy of sp2 loaded my f6 drivers and it would hang right after the f8 agree document came up.

After the flash I installed windows and later on installed the b2 dimm dual channel.

But yeah, you are fine until windows. You can upgrade it without a 130nm chip. I'm sure everything would run smooth with a 130nm chip.

Hi Glavinsolo,

I think, that due to the process being not mature yet, there may be large differences between the processors.

Your results are quite nice, but in order to get to 2.6 you had to increase the voltage to 1.6V. I would say that your CPU will end up at 2.75 on 1.675 (air cooling).

The guys over there seem to be running their processors on much lower voltage, especially the one with 3.0, his processor is running below 1.5V. That is amazing. I am very curious about the headroom of this particular CPU. In my opinion it could reach 3600 at higher voltages.

Considering the early stage of its 90nm process, it is a good news for AMD.

I would probably be able to hit 2.75 without 1.675 vcore maybe 1.625. It boots much lower than 1.6 at 2.6ghz but I upped it for stability in prime.

BTW the 3.0ghz guy was using some kind of water cooler called vapor chill it looks like. He didn't need to up his core by much to get there.

vapochill is not water...

it's phasechange... meaning he was able to run negative temperatures for his cpu

in terms of overclocking, that's pretty impressive to hit 2.7 on air..

but hitting 3.0 with even the older 130nm with phasechange was done by lots of people

i think we just need to give it a little more time before we do see things such as 2.8 to 2.9 on air kind of like the axp-m's

still, impressive though...

Keep up the good work and posting on this topic. We need all the info we can get on these new CPU since I am not yet seen a detailed review from AnandTech.

If you look at the BIOS photo in the xtremesystems thread, he has spread spectrum turned on. This is a BIG mistake especially when trying to overclock. What this actually does is the bus speed contantly varies by about 2% in an attempt to eliminate RF interference by not staying at any one frequency. Even when not overclocking, this constant speed variation reduces stability (in addition to reducing your overclock headroom by 2% for obvious reasons). So if he turns that off, I bet he gets above 3.2GHz.

Nice job man :)
Don't go over 80C though, that's really scary temps :p
