    How would I tell??
    I crap out at about 249-250fsb 1:1, but I was thinking it was the memory seeing as how it`s only PC3500.

    I boot at 220fsb, then use the setfsb to bump it up from there.

    never used 1005.020, just used the 21 variant. Heard the 21 was better, but I have no basis for comparison.

    My locks work. Too bad my memory won't scale as high as Rukee's.

    After testing both I have to say the 1005.020 is much more stable, and faster the 1005.021.

    .... At least on my A8V v1.02

    I wish I could run SuperPi there! :p
    It`ll run Sanda at 262 and 01 at 259.
    Strange is it scores the same in SuperPi @ 235 (32secs) as it does at 248fsb (32secs). What would the bottle neck be there??

    superpi's scores have a pretty large spread from point to point as far as mhz and fsb go.

    Asus A8V Deluxe a good motherboard?

    Hi Guys,

    I am new here. I came here because you guys are the best, and know all the newest hardware on the market and I need a little help.

    I am building a CAD system that will be running stock. I need the most reliable motherboard solution on the market. I could go with socket 940 or 939. I like Asus stuff, but Wrench tells me that people have problems with the A8V Deluxe motherboard. I am also looking at MSI and Abit as motherboard suppliers. What is your guys experience with these motherboards? What do you recommend as the most stable, trouble-free board?

    Thanks for your input!

    if the locks aren't working it sucks for overclocking

    solution 1 get a bios with working locks and it OCs pretty good and stable.

    solution 2 don't OC the board more than 5% and will be fine.


    problems mainly are if the locks aren't working and you OC the board past 220 FSB then the SATA becomes unstable. I have a 1.02 board and loaded bios 1005.21 and it runs nice. I can run 2.6 - 2.7 ghz and stock is 2.2 ghz

    Since you are going to run stock speeds you will have NO issues.

    get the asus and OC that puppy about 10% should be safe and fine. Just make sure locks are working.

    XSPC RayStorm (very nice block)
    Z170 Sabertooh ,, 32GB- Gskill (15-15-15-36 @3600 mhz) 1:1
    XFX-7970 with Swiftech Komodo nickel block
    Water Cooling - MO-RA3 Pro with 4 Silverstone 180mm @ 700 rpm, Twin Vario mcp-655 pumps
    Samsung 850-1TB SSD,, OCZ ZX-1250W (powerfull and silent)
    Crossfire 30" decent monitor for IPS too bad SED tech died

    Thanks iboomalot and xgman.

    I really want to go with the Asus solution cause they are my favorite brand. I have built hundreds of systems with them and only a couple have had issues. I really dont want to go with MSI cause almost every motherboard i bought, i had problems! Abit is great stuff too, but I dont know how there 64 bit lineup is in terms of stability.
