I have read the FAQ, but thats the Deluxe version, so i'm assuming it has extra oc features in the bios? However i think i'm going insane =] I remember seeing a 1T/2T setting in my bios... but i recently flash from 0213 to 0219, thinking about 0221 (beta bios), and now i can't find that setting again, i don't really wanna go flash crazy here, so instead of flashing back, does anyone know if any of the a8v bios' have memory settings?? Otherwise i think i'm stuck for an overclock, but i also think i'm doing something wrong, i see in the faq you use liek 9.5x multiplier, i'm just using 11, and the 10% oc profile in the bios which has my 90nm 3500+ winchester running at 2.42ghz up from 2.2. Anything over that, it won't boot. Are the deluxe bios' compatible with the A8V? the boards look identical on the surface. So basically i'm just wondering what my options are here, like:
1. Does the Deluxe O/C Faq apply to me? (i don't have any memory settings to change)
2. Do any of the a8v bios' have memory settings?
3. Could i use a deluxe bios? The boards look physically identical.
4. If no to all of the above, any faq's or bits of info that would help me out here? i'm trying for 2.5-2.6ghz, as thats the highest i've seen for an air oc on a winchester.
Also some other information that is probably important:
PSU = Ultra X-Connect 500Watt (12v@34A)
CPU = 90nm Winchester 3500+
HSF = Zalman 7000-CU
RAM = 2x512 OCZ Premier 2.5-3-3-7 (prolly @ 2T, since i can't set it.. )
Mobo: A8V (not deluxe) Rev 1.xx (according to cpu-z)
My temps are like ~46C load, ~34C Idle.
As i said, i have it at 2.42ghz right now using the built in 10% oc profile, and it is quite stable, superpi 32m completes, prime95 doesn't crash, i can game for hours on end, I have burned several dvd's, nothing corrupt or unstable so i'm good right now @ 2.42, trying to hit liek 2.5 at least, if not 2.6ghz (highest i have seen on air).
Thanks in advance!

Also if you notice in the first pic, it says vcore = 1.568v... why? In the bios, it is set at 1.525v for the 10% profile.. hmm?
