ASUS A8N-E Bad oc

[jirii]

Hi all and happy new year!!

I have my Dfi LP DR RMA so I had to buy one MB, i bought ASUS A8N-E. But with DFi I was able go 258*12, RAM 1:1, but with asus I cant go over 240

I have A64 4000+ (mych II GT), Mushkin PC3200 2GB, BIOS I flashed to Revision 1010. I think that problem is maybe in RAM, have somebody experince with mushkin and this MB?? Or is there any other better BIOS for this MB?

Thanks for help

PS: Ias on this board some thing like on DFI that you should have your ram in 3 and 4 slot, or something similar?

Personally on a budget I would have used the ECS SLI mobo (if you wanted SLI) or the Asrock SKT 939 dual.

It's probably ram related and maybe ASUS have a newer BIOS you can use for 2x1GB - have you got any other ram you could instead - thus confirming that assumption is correct.

Maybe also, you need to play around with the voltages for the memory controller (LDT) and chipset or even the memory timings.

Each motherboard has its own characterstics fro overclocking - it took me 10 days to get the EXPERT series SLI-DR up and running properly even though I had all the old settings from the non EXPERT unit to work from.

It's a chore - but the results are satisfying

Yes I know that i have to play with it. I thought that somebody maybe have some experince with this MB? I have no other RAM at the time
