yosarianilives Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 So much wrong with this system but don't feel like putting in the effort to make it work right, can't even flash a better bios that will run full multiplier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't a problem of how I set it, the bios wouldn't hold any higher clocks and flashing a newer bios failed with "this bios isn't for this board" error and did not allow me to force it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yosarianilives Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 I realized that even if I tried really hard and got an agp record it won't matter nearly as much as having an agp score. Played around with averages and a slight oc on the pcie card can make more difference than a hardcore agp score ever will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other option is uniflash. Actually, I was using asrock board as backup-hotflash board when playing with bioses for p5w64, I flashed 2MB bios of C5F in REX that originally uses 1MB bios. Just find the right software and check available secret keys (may not be visible through help of the executive but still listed at many websites like rom.by). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athlon FX? 6400+ I know what you meant tho As for fx 32m last year he's talking about how I made the mistake of saying I was gonna get an 8 Ghz 32m score then looked really silly when I didn't, not to mention it was single channel although that was a whole Nother issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don't know what all is wrong with my agp board but I don't feel like investigating if we won't even have a strong pcie score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just uncheck the "check motherboard version" or w/e. This works for flashing Core2Dual to 775VSTA as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yos uses his 8+ GHz valid 9590 to run off a 7.2ish GHz 32M run while he has a fever. It's singlechannel, and efficiency and CPU-Z show that but Yos insists it's dual channel because "he saw it in the BIOS" or something along those lines. This is in respose to @Bilko's 9590 8G 32M gold btw. Edited November 23, 2019 by unityofsaints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a semi common behavior for some fx chips under cold, which usually means your board needs to be cleaned better. That session ended up having lots of issues...
