They still use Herr; for the Phenom II it's version 3. http://www.amd.com/u...ol-n-quiet.aspx I think it was there where 12oclock high bought equipment. So he has to go there...

Look at this forum. They are stating one thing. To be sure that's nothing is wrong you've to run a program to stress your cpu while cpu-z is active. Try Orthos. If the values doesn't change than it means something is wrong. If the values do change than you've green functions activated or a BIOS update is need (which you've already performed). Either way, those guys at your computer shop aren't telling the truth. EDIT: By the way CPU-z is accepted everywhere as a reliable program.

I suppose that the guys at this site didn't invent those screenshots. Read carefully the text on that page. These are stock values. Below shows the values when AMD Cool and Quiet is enabled, which are basically the same you've. My Intel Core2Duo processor is an E8500 which runs at 3.17. It means each core is running 3.17 at stock without green functions activated. The same applies to AMD as far as I know. Two things: Or those guys at the computer shop are completely ignorant or they are deliberating cheating you. Unfortunately I've no AMD experience. I've a computer shop but I don't sell AMDs. Only Intel. PM redwolf he as an almost similar CPU as yours. EDIT: If what they told you was the truth than those guys at that site were performing a technical miracle with the first screenshot. They were overclocking 4x times.

Welcome! #2 Never happened with me. #3 I just land and exit mission; don't wait for my wingmen to land. So I really don't know.

Thanks for sharing.

Sorry to hear that. I still would like to hear further developments. If you don't mind, please PM me and keep me informed.

In the overrides section in cfs3config; that's the place where you've set Dual Render Pass unchecked. One of the options is disable shadows.

It's an admirable simulator/game. Thanks OBD for all your efforts.

Eheheh. That's true. The ignorants seem to be blessed. You know what we get when we eat the apple. But be positive. There's still a good chance that your problem will be solved with the update.

Eheheh. Actually I thought to left some staples inside the monitor. And next time my wife switch on the monitor it would... pufff. But something might happen to her also, so I gave up the idea. I must devise a perfect plot she is very suspicious, very clever.

I still have an old Samsung 19" CRT. It's still working well. The same with my TV, it's a Sony CRT. The damn things seem to be indestructible. My wife don't let me change them until they are broken. I know she's right, but...

Like ConradB said also disable the shadows there is no great visual impact and helps with FPS.

Herr, I've already told, that the CPU support table for that board, acknowledges the existence of 4 different IIX4 955 CPU's. And only one, the (HDZ955FBK4DGI), will work with the BIOS version he has on his board. Agree with you 12oclockhigh has no other chance than update. Yes you've to update the BIOS, there is no workaround left as far as I know. Of course, there's also the chance that the motherboard is defective. So if after updating the BIOS the problem remains, you'll have to RMA the board. There is a positive point in all this. I'm sure you've learn something with all this process.

It seems to be a problem with the DVD media. You could try to copy the entirely DVD to the HD without installing, just to see if there is any error while copying the files. If there isn't any problem while copying than it must be something else. EDIT: Sorry I almost forgot to say, Welcome!

At least you're not Attila the Hun.

On the Asus site I've read this:

It has. Only if you changed the value from Auto to other it asks for the input voltage for the processor. It won't happen anything drastic, 12oclockhigh, if you put the wrong value. Only it can become more instable and more hot. Suggest to start with values that I pointed you. EDIT: But I would definitely update the BIOS.

Don't know if it exists EIST with AMD. What was the result after disabling C1E? No change? Then we've to go the multiplier part.

I was looking also at C1E. The advice given by Parky seems good. Try is suggestion. I'm afraid I haven't much experience in overclocking. I don't know what is the right value for the input voltage. Increase slightly and see if the system is stable. Look at the CPU temperature. Before doing the 16X multiplier try the suggestion given by Parky. EDIT: See this values. You can put your question in the overclocker.net. They'll help you.

Eheheheh!

You can always try to change a single value in BIOS before updating. There is a TAB called "AI Tweaker" (Page 3-12 of your motherboard manual). The option CPU/NB Frequency which is set to [Auto]. Try to change the auto to the proper multiplier value which in your case is 16x. Run again CPU-Z and post the new report here. EDIT: Remember tweaking the BIOS is always risky. But that's what I would do.

No. The core speed can't be changed by upgrading Vista to Win7. The problem was there, since beginning. You only noticed with OFF. But it could have been with other application. Sooner or later you would have face it. Probably it's more noticeable with a single core application type, like OFF. Tell me, it was you who assembled it? If you aren't comfortable with upgrading and tweaking the BIOS you might consider the use of professional help. On Asus site did you looked for Win7 64bits? Besides you don't need them. Maybe TurboV could be nice.

You should flash your BIOS with the newest version. Your BIOS version is too old and there are a lot of fixes. 16 BIOS updates since your version. That's a lot. But remember a bad flash and bye bye motherboard. It's your call. There are two M4A79T boards at Asus site. The Deluxe and Deluxe/U3S6. BIOS might be different. Sure go slow. I'm afraid that this is really more technical. As for the Processor Lasso sure you can try, at least it won't damage anything. EDIT: Besides there 4 different 955 CPU types. And most require a different BIOS version than you have. I don't know which AMD you have.

The same here. And like I stated in another thread it seems the loading times seems better when we are not running with XP compatibility.

If you've disabled AMD Cool and Quiet, then some other Green function is working. Otherwise you would have the same results as the first CPU-Z image. The values you're having are the same as the second CPU-Z image, that indicates of a presence of a Green function. You can always try what Bandy is suggesting. But Bandy, are you sure that it disable all green functions? Look at a similar problem in ASUS forum. You might consider also that might be a problem with your motherboard. Is your motherboard ASUS M4A79T Deluxe? What is your BIOS version? There are a lot of fixes since original BIOS. If the game is running with the core at that speed, no wonder that you've low fps. Why it seems not to happen with other games/applications? Maybe it is depended on application. The first thing I've done with my rig when I assembled it, was to disable all Green functions. I knew from other forums that this kind of problems happens. Do you have also installed in your Windows AMD Cool&Quiet Utility (it's not only in the BIOS)? Do you have AMD overdrive installed?, AI Suite?, TurboV?, EPU-4 engine? All these Utilities come with Asus CD, I think.
