Yet another A8N-SLI D success story

[xtknight]

Stock BIOS worked fine with the Maxtor DiamondMax 10 SATA2 250GB drive and I could even enable NCQ through the control panel. PQI Turbo PC3200+ TCCD memory worked perfectly and Windows XP "boots" in 5 seconds (from the logo screen to the login, and maybe another 5 seconds from there). The only problem is this thing just won't budge in terms of overclocking, but I've only tried the AI overclocking so far. The idle temperature for my Athlon 64 3500+ doesn't go above 29 degrees celcius with the Zalman 7700 CNPS7700-AlCu cooler and open-case (right now).

Smooth, glad to see you got it all sorted out. :beer::thumbsup:

Watch out with the NCQ settings. We've yet to see a native Unified Driver from nVidia, so playing with the NCQ right now is just that---playing. Could have you down in flames.
