Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

The Abit board was one of the better overclocking VIA based boards but I wan't being picky... I would have bought the MSI board if I found one sooner. I took about 4weeks of searching forums to find one for sale.
I went with the Abit A8V... got a good deal but it did o/c as good as the DFI board I had.
Since then I went to AM2/PCI express ATI chipset/ ATI video card. Screw Nvidia.
Well I picked up a 7800 AGP video card and everything was detected and worked properly with a clean install.
I reinstalled my x800xtpe and the error core 43 returned.
This is weird.
I'm gonna see if I can fix this without disabling one the cores on the CPU.
I thought maybe there would be a work-around using the cpu core affinity so that I could assign a single core to a specific task thereby getting the video to work while keeping both cores functional.
Donno to be honest with you but I haven't had any stability problems. I just installed a vantec cooler to replace the dead oe chipset fan. I'll post back tomorrow.
I couldn't be happier with the performance of my x2 @ 2.6ghz.
:eek:
You sound like the type of person that would buy a corvette then pull two spark plug wires because it was too fast. :D
I get max load of about 65C while overclocking my 4200+ to 2.6ghz 1.60v with the Zalman 7000cu and AS5.
Maybe a bios update will fix an incorrect reading??
Also try the finger test... stick you finger on the heatsink to see if it feels like 70+celcius. :D
