Overclocking
Overclocking on the K8NS Pro, using software, was a joy. There's not the range of voltage adjustment that'd I'd like, to help some common memory sticks attain good timings at above-JEDEC spec voltages, and the Vcore adjust could do with being a little more generous too. Working boot multiplier adjust in the BIOS is the only think I think is sorely missing. Granted you can only go down from the boot multi on Athlon 64, but that adjust would be welcome given that the K8NS Pro locks the SATA host clock for the nForce3 250 and Sil3112 controllers and you can lock the AGP bus too.Using a decent clocking Model 3400+ (not the 3200+ Clawhammer used for the benchmarks) and a Gigabyte 3D cooler , 10 x 250 wasn't a problem and 9 x 275 was doable too, the mainboard showing off a little. Both overclocks were done by booting at 11 x 230 and using ClockGen and NVIDIA's System Utility to drop multiplier and increase derived HTT, with HTT multiplier at 4X.
A highlight. Remember CTRL+F1 in the BIOS to access the advanced options.
