New FX-60 from Tiger Direct shows 2619 as default speed

Should I be concerned?

Also.. I have a 2 GB set of Corsair PC 4000 and a 2GB set of Mushkin PC 4000, which would be better for a memory overclock with the following motherboards?

Abit AT8 32x
Asus A8N32-SLI
Asus A8R32-MVP

thinking I need to change something to get memory to clock higher, maybe something related to e series or stepping 6??

Thanks for any ideas.. hope to put one of the new X2800's on one of these motherboards in a couple months.

Not sure on the memory, but the 2619 is normal Asus. Most of there boards come overclocked 1 or 2mhz which makes them compare favorably when reviewed

Is that S939? How much did you spend for that beast?

I got it at Tiger Direct for $289 in package deal with Windows Vista Home Premium OEM that went for $110, so total shipped equalled $412.

Tonight, I have been overclocking.. that new 602 BIOS and setting Max Async to 8 has me at 316X9 and holding.. no crashes yet.. might go for 320X9 and call it a night.

The Corsair is holding up so far.

Have not done this lately.. so whole memory divider thing had my mind messing up.

But at a 9 multiplier and 166 or .83333 divider... I am using 11 as my memory divider to calculate each step.

Right now I am at 260 1T on the Corsair. I might be pushing it.. but I want 270+ and 3 GHZ! I tend to stay about nine months behind everyone else so I can really learn and play.

2619mhz matches my ASUS A8N5X w/ Opteron 185 as well (via CPU-Z). shows the HTT as 201.5 (on AUTO in BIOS).
