asus a8v dlx sata locked?

[filibusterman]

If i try any oc over about 215 htt then my hd starts getting corrupted and not booting. any ideas here is it the board or just my particular board revision? anyone else have problems with oc when they have a serial drive?

also, if these sata slots are not locked what boards offer locked sata so I would be able to oc... MSI K8N Neo2? Do offer up suggestions. as i have an agp 850xt I do not want to go pci-e since my card rocks pretty hard as it is so I basically need a mobo that is agp and that i can oc with locked sata ports.

thanks

Check right over the bottom pci slot to find out what rev board that you have. If it is a rev 1.02 then you won't have agp/pci locks. There was a early bios that would lock the pci bus but it won't work with a Winchester. If you have a rev 2 board then you will have locks. Just set the AGP/PCI to 66/33. There are some people that claim the via sata ports lack locks, even if pci is locked. However, I have a rev 2 and have had the HTT up to 250 with sata hdd's. So the via sata ports on mine are definitely locked.

The MSI Neo2 has locks on two of the sata ports (ones by the AGP slot) and is considered the best OC board with AGP. It would suit your purposes well.

yea i dont know if the locks to agp/pci would work on the sata and i dont think so since changing it in the bios doesnt work. I guess ill keep trying
