I trying to understand what you are saying. You say seldomly have to reset and go into the bios w your m2n sli but more often w/your m2n32 sli no matter what cpu you are using and this would be on the 2205 bios?

Thanks,

Thank you.
This "cold boot issue" occurred occasionally when I used my Phenom II with my M2N-SLI. For some strange reason the issue vanished completely when I added two more harddrives to the system.
The "cold boot issue" happens almost every time I boot my M2N32-SLI (version 1.04G), but only when it is overclocked. It doesn't seem to depend on what kind of CPU or BIOS version I am using.
One more thing: I have one more M2N32-SLI board, version 1.03G. It is not capable of such high HT frequencies, but doesn't suffer so much from these cold boot issues either.

From my understanding the high HTT speeds have always been a motherboard limitation (ie. 300mhz ect).

Good luck

Yes they are separate on real AM2+/AM3 boards, but on our boards the HTT affects the NB frequency too.
I found that with low multipliers I reached the limit for the NB on my CPU (it is around 2150-2200MHz for me) before I reached the limits of the CPU cores, memory frequency, motherboard HTT limit etc.

Well, after reading here that could raise the most HTT decided to do more tests and discovered that what was over my limit was the configuration of the memories, downloaded them to 533. Take a look at the results:

Your welcome and that is very interesting. You got me interested in looking at my mobo's to see what ver. mobo's I actually have. Now that you say you only have the cold boot issue more often w/overclocked settings makes a little more sense. If you decrease your overclock by just a little does it change this problem or does this problem only get better if you run your system at factory defaults.?

NICE

:
Your a lucky guy most I could get HTT was 260. did you have to change any voltages other than the vcore???

ninjjah, that is some sweet numbers you have on the bus speed and ht link:cool
Thanks for sharing.

This board is awsome!

good job

Gyro

Thanks, I will try another configurations today, when I have some news I post here again.

Wow! 3600Mhz and NB at 2400Mhz, that is really good! Also HT at 1500Mhz is not bad either.

Hey guys. I just won a 3DMark Vantage Key from PNY. I was wondering if there are any major differences in the 3DMark06 & 3DMark Vantage or if one is just more updated then the other?

Thank you,

N2G

Phsyx is the biggest difference and I have not been able to get vantage to work for crap.
