Neo2, Opteron dual core and CnQ

[2kfire]

I have a Neo2 with the 1.B BIOS and an Opteron 165. I used to have a Winnie @ 9x270 and CnQ worked fine. I have my 165 @ 9x275 @ default voltage and I can't get CnQ to work. Does anyone have this setup or a similar dual core setup with CnQ working? I already searched the forums and didn't find much help.

Uh...did you really expect CnQ to work with an OCed CPU?

Yes, I do expect CnQ to work with an overclocked CPU.

I am running that setup and AFAIK, that board cannot do C&Q with an Opteron.

that kinda sux :thumbsdown:
Have you tried or heard anyone try a BETA BIOS? I'm thinking of doing that next...

I am running the 1.C3 EZ BIOS, which is a modded BIOS based off one of the more-current versions.

Looking online, there is a 1.D version of the Neo 2s BIOS out now which has unknown changes.

I guess I'll try some beta BIOSes then. RMClock works, kinda. It seems to take a while to return to the higher clocks. I suppose it will do for now.

I updated my BIOS to 1C0 from the MSI website using liveupdate. I then installed the new powernow driver for AMD Opteron (version 1.3.2). Cool 'n' quiet works now. Yay! Back to cool, quiet computing for me!
