Thank you for you rapid response ! :) I ask this question because lot of people have bought PC6400 for this mobo, I don't understand why ? (faster ?) So if you tell me that the NF-M2 nView supports PC4200 (DDR2-533) I'm going to buy it today ! What means "I figured out how to load crystalcpuid." ? ...

I've made a few measurements on my system, for those interested. I used Crytal CPUID to set up a low operating point of 4x multiplier and Vcore 0.9V, rising above 40% processor load to 1.0V and 6x, finally to full speed 1.1 Vcore and 9x. The AMD spec on my Sempron is 1.1V lowest, and 1.35V highest. ...

I just received this board, running it now with a Sempron 3400 SDD (64W). Yes, you can undervolt (doing it now with CrystalCPUID, down to 0.8 offered, Sempron locks at 0.975V running stock speed). CnQ supported. Yes, you can adjust multipliers and clock speed - I'll confirm later. Yes, fan speed is ...

I am undervolting a Sempron 3400 SDD model right now, at 1.0V, at stock multiplier (9x) and FSB, seems perfectly stable. It locks up at 0.975V. The core temp is 25.8C in a room at about 20C, and the mobo thermal sensor reports 28C...so the core is cooler than the chip. To clear up the confusion: the...

I just had a look at another Abit board, a K9, and in the BIOS there the minimum voltage offered to us was 1.5V with the old Athlon on that mobo. So, we installed CrystalCPUID, and just for fun, turned it down to 1.45 - we were offered all the way down to 0.8V. We then rebooted, and Crystal read bac...

The "Performance Rating" (3200+ and 3500+) doesn't actually refer to the clock speed; it's a relative benchmark based on some reference proc, can't remember which. So the Semp 3200+ runs @ 1.8Ghz and the A64 3500+ runs at 2.2Ghz. Yep, IIRC, the Sempron is (supposedly) rated in equivalent Celeron MH...

Mobo NF-M2 nView Please, somebody run Crystal or RMclock on this mobo and find out the minimum Vcore settable. It supports CnQ, it says so on the cover page of the manual, so it must have hardware to go down below 1.35V - thats the MAXIMUM P-state voltage for loads of Athlons. The minimum P-state is...

Hi Matt, Im a Newbie here, but I got an amost similar dilemna to you. I need to build a PC for use as home entertainment centre, and to do "real stuff", like CAD occasionally. Snag is, it's going on a boat where power is SEVERELY limited. So it's got to be capable, but must be (a) quiet and (b) frug...
