A8N-SLI Deluxe Bios Problems

[right winger]

Help please!!! I am trying to overclock using your guide but have run into a problem. When I go into BIOS and try to manually set the CPU speed it sets my memory back to auto, and when I set the memory to manual it then sets my CPU to auto. I cant seem to set both and when I set my memory to DDR500 (or anything higher than 400) it doesnt take.

Here is my system
Asus A8n-sli Deluxe was running bios 1015 moved to 1016
2 Gig DDR500 Gskill Extreme overclocking mem
Opteron 165
Aspire Xnavigator Case with 500 Watt Power supply

I just want to get my opti running at 2.2-2.3 ghz

Id like to throw a shoutout to a fellow right winger 😉 . Heres a question that might help:

Were you *ever* able to have both adjusted manually with a particular bios vs. having
one of them jumping to auto? Why not go back to that bios?

Otherwise, Im not sure what the answer is....

There are like 4 or 5 settings that you need to disable from auto OC'ing. You need to set them to either manual or disabled, as the case may be.

My suspcion is that you haven't disables NOS, as I think this one will override everything if it's active.
