I set the multiplier to 13.5 (2700) with the voltage at the default, and the system hung and then I couldn't get it back. Boy, this was a bummer. I had to reset the Cmos which involved removing my video and sound card, the battery, then the jumper for 5 seconds. After that, I used Clockgen. I was using the version for the K8V because I didn't see one for the A8V. It wouldn't let me set the voltage above 1.55, so I set the voltage in the bios, and then made a bunch of ghost files to set the multiplier.

2700 @ 1.7v, BFG @ 450/1100 = 4600

Weird, that's less than the score running at 2600. I've never figured out why this happens, but it does.

In the morning I woke up and took it to the top, the voices in my head kept saying, "Do it, Do it."

2800 @ 1.8v BFG @ 450/1100 = System Shutdown on the 2nd to last test (slow boat). I waited a minute and rebooted, it came back to life, "wheeeeew."

2800 @ 1.725v or 1.750v = Crash in 1st test, even with relaxed memory timings of 3448.

I think the 3.0 record score is safe. I came close to 2800, but no cigar.

If you want to see the CPUz screens, go to my web site and scroll to the bottom.

Yeah, yeah, you're right. This is probably the record.

Still, 3.0 in a case is a nice score. It just stands out more because it's something most OCers could do if they had the money. Whereas the WR score is done on a test bench and they guy did some extreme mods most would not do.

I have one more thing I can try tonight, and that's 2T timings. I had it disabled thru all those tests.
