I cannot say yet if they run at the same high speed or if they make as much noise as the original ones. I went to the Asus support website and sent an email telling them that my fan had started to run slower. They emailed me back an order form to fill in so they could supply me with a new fan for free. I suggest that you do the same so that when you fan starts to die "and it will" you will have a spare ready to put in. |

The new HS+fan are bigger than the originals and because of this the fan runs a lot slower. Before the fan was the loudest thing on my set up Mine is now going at just under 5000rpm. Much better that the 8000+rpm screaming piece of crap I took out. |

I really do need more vcore to my winchester 3000+ - but even that I
put the vcore at 1.65 in the BIOS, my Winchester gets only 1.584 v. I do use the BIOS 1006. I got an ASUS A8N-SLI mb. Could someone tell me how to get more juice out of the mb? 324 X 8: http://bigup.peecee.lir.dk/view.php?id=8739 330 X 6: http://bigup.peecee.lir.dk/view.php?id=8756 |

What about Power Supply?

If you are running the RAM in dual channel mode, crappy RAM could be causing
problems. You might want to try it out in single channel mode. We had a similar experience with a Socket A MoBo. Just a thought, Pete "David Rasmussen" wrote in message . .. Pete M Williams wrote: NOW, DAVID! A few questions that need answering. Can I ask what ratio's you have tried running your memory at? All ratios below the stock speed. And the stock speed of course. You do know what the different DDR settings in the BIOS of the A8N represent with respect to dividers don't you? I'm not sure what you mean here. I understand the divider. I don't fully understand what "CAS Latency" is but I know where it and other similar settings should be set according to the manufacturer of my memory. I also tried a lot of different settings. Very conservative and slow settings. Experimenting with 1T and 2T etc. Didn't help. What RAM do you have? 2x512MB Crappy Elixir RAM (DDR3200, CAS 3.0). But since I don't overclock the RAM at all, I figure that this isn't important. But maybe it is after all? Should I try better RAM, even though I don't plan to overclock the RAM? According to the article on xtremesystems, mediocre RAM shouldn't be a problem with A64, as long as you don't overclock the RAM, just the processor (and LDT/FSB). You are not selecting the DDR setting in the BIOS that corresponds to your RAM are you? I have tried that, yes. I have also tried the auto setting. I have also experimented as mentionedd above. As I stated earlier: Even when the RAM i running sloooowly at 150 MHz instead of 200 MHz, and with relaxed timings etc., I _STILL_ can't get LDT/FSB above 225 MHz. And yes, I verified with several software tools that the memory was indeed running at the slow timings I selected. I don't understand why you think my RAM is so important when I am not trying to overclock that? Now, again, assuming that I have done anything right and there is no way to get above 225 MHz, which part of my system should I replace? If it was the CPU clock that couldn't go higher than 2000 MHz, I'd say: replace the CPU. If it was the RAM that couldn't go higher than 200 MHz, I'd say: replace the RAM. Now, when it's the LDT/FSB that can't go very far above it's stock 200 MHz, what do I replace? What part of the system is responsible for the LDT/FSB? The Mobo? The CPU? The RAM? /David |
