foxconn a7vmx-k
I am wondering if i would get any benefit out of upgrading the bios.
I have the 3/14/08 version and there are 3 or 4 new versions. I havent noticed any issues, except my FSB seems to be limited to 260mhz, and its unstable if i go any higher. I was wondering if u guys would recommend updating the bios. Do you think this would help with my fsb issue? this is the page with the bios on it http://www.foxconnchannel.com/suppor...D=en-us0000003

I just wanted to follow-up with some info about this Foxconn a7vmx-k motherboard and the overclocking success (and failure) i experienced.
As far as overclocking by changing the multiplier- it seems to be limited by the CPU (which is to be expected.) Overclocking via FSB is where i encountered problem after problem. I noticed this board was very very picky about which ram it likes to use, The FSB limitations did NOT go away when i updated bios. It is a good board for a HTPC (its small, and low power), however it is not a good board for any type of overclocking in my opinion. Buy something else=) you wont squeeze much out of this board without it crying at you with blue screens and Non convergent memory errors=) (oh and btw, i tested 4 makes/models/speeds of ram, nothing changed) (1 more thing, i got some 1066 ram hoping to bump the FSB up to match with a good multi to net me some 3200~mhz core and 500~+ mhz memory, No dice. i couldnt even get high-quality 1066 running at above 450mhz stable) Oh well, live and learn.=) I will buy a different mobo for this chip just to see how far i can push it before i upgrade, but for now this system does the trick for all of my games in high res.
