A7N8X-D MBM 5 stops showing no values

[Guest]

Hi NG,
I got a very strange problem.
Since 4 days I got a AMD XP2500 Mobile, and more or less succesfully
overclocked it to (12.5x193) 2416 MHz. The systems runs stable no crashes.
But MBM 5, sometimes, stops showing all temps, fan rpms and voltages.
I don`t know whats causing this. (temps are 38C idle and 48C stressed)

I am using the 1007 uber bios.
What can be causing this problem??

Any help appriciated!

Regards,
Bob

something else is using the smbus and causing mbm5 to lock the values off.
do you use asus probe? .. that'll do it ..
there are lots of other programs that will cause the problem too

Run Prime95 and see if the system is still stable.
It could be that the system is stable at idle, but
not when fully loaded. (You could also try SuperPI for
a quick check.)

Try 12x193 and see if that works better.

MBM5 has a semaphore for using the SMBUS, and maybe it has
become confused (the semaphore is marked busy, meaning
something is using the SMBUS, when in fact there is no
other agent using it). The semaphore is needed, since the
SMBUS will return garbage if two agents attempt to access the
hardware at the same time. I don't know if there is any other
mechanism for MBM5 to get locked out of the hardware or not.

Just a guess,
Paul

Hi,
I think it has something to do with CPU-Z, don`t know what but only when
I run CPU_z this problem sometimes occures.

I already lowered the multiplyier to 12x193, system seems more stable
now atm.

I forget what monitor I was running buy CPU-Z made it go hay wire.
