Where can I find TMPIN 0 temp? I use AMD Over Drive but it only has TMPIN 1-3

ur on gigabyte while sir antonio is on asus, could be diff labellin... wink.gif

easy way to compare is to launch hwmonitor by cpuid & easytune (from gigabyte) to know which is which. nod.gif

depend on brand..biostar didnt have temp sensor at their NB or pwn (forgot).. hmm.gif

@yvliew
here is the tip..use core temp n hwmonitor..
see if the core temp is same as hwmonitor..then u can compare which one is mobo temp... nod.gif
*
pwm as mosfets don't really have build in sensor. they should however put a probe there instead of d less important sb which is also known as system temp. smile.gif

U guys are not sp*ming enuff ler laugh.gif

By the way, got a call from 8tvt just now, demm biobintang rejected my TA790GX 128M RMA claim because of the presence of some thermaltape residue on the pwm's  :/shock: :/x
Feeling like want to throw that mobo to their face like this.. sweat.gif Right now 8tvt is doing all his best to try and do the RMA claim again.. Syg abg 8tvt  :/wub:

ur still d otai sp@mm3r bro, lol....

this is so nonsense, it's not that there are burnt marks, puttin coolers on d mosfets are actually prolongin d life of d board... easier way is to email d distro, if they're not helpin, email biostar. make things big see whose damage is bigger & who'll have d last laugh... wink.gif

this ram make no different even bumping the vdimm to 1.74 bios /1.70 win

so far i manage can prime for 10mins and still counting with lower vdimm
1.66 bios /1.62 win

now at 786mhz x2 (malas maw tekan kalkulator) at same timing cl7...last stable setting...

even change to cl8 can increase abit only.... will try harder later...

i believe most of us here prefer dual channel setup. nice attempt for sc btw... thumbup.gif

BIOS and Overclocking

The M4A785TD-V EVO features a BIOS that is packed with tweaking options for overclocking, offering generous increases in frequency ranges and voltage increases for a variety of components. Thanks to the updated SB710 Southbridge, users with 65nm AMD Phenom CPU’s may utilize the Advanced Clock Calibration option (originally found on the SB750), which yields higher processor frequencies at potentially lower voltages. The Advanced Clock Calibration option is also known to unlock 45nm AMD Phenom II X2 and X3 Processors into fully fledged Quad Cores (your mileage my vary) and unlock hidden Level 3 Cache on Phenom II X4 800 series CPU’s. A very comprehensive BIOS indeed and from what we can see, it can certainly talk the talk. However, in the same way that my rusting Ford Ka 1.3 has a speedometer that reads to 140mph, is this motherboard a case of all show and no go?

Well, I’m happy to report that it didn’t fare too badly at all. As our AMD Phenom II X4 905e CPU had a maximum CPU Multiplier of 12.5x and a fixed Northbridge Frequency of 10x, overclocking was bound to cause a strain on the motherboard. So in order to push the M4A785TD for all it’s worth, we removed some external limiting factors by lowering the CPU Multiplier to 9x and lowering the memory frequency to a 1:2 ratio.
By Increasing in 5-10MHz at a time, we hit a brick wall at a HTT Base Clock of 240MHz and a Northbridge Frequency of 2400MHz. The M4A785TD-V refused to boot into Windows at anything north of this regardless of CPU Voltage, NB/HT Voltage, Load Line Calibration, ACC or disabling Cool’n’Quiet
. As per usual, one’s result with pure HTT Base overclocking will vary regardless of your motherboard and if you plan on opting for the Socket AM2+/AM3 platform with the intention of overclocking, it’s crucial that you buy a Black Edition CPU for it’s fully unlocked CPU and Northbridge Multipliers.

just ask guidance here... so many pro in ram tweaking

haha.. cant even move TRC or TRAS... even tighten by 1 clock...still prime faild -1 worker..
have to satisfy edi...

guys...need to tweak DCT0 or DCT1 or both? both have CL and bla bla..if set them both (CL at DCT0 and DCT1) At diff value..what will happen...(i need a sifu that can teach me a whole about RAM timing tweaking la)

i use both, if put one pair only, it'll always be dct 0 regardless whether dimm 0 & 1 or dimm 2 & 3 iirc. not so sure bout single channel thou. hmm.gif

is that if having 1pairs of ram..can run both of em at diff timing? 1pair follow DCT0 and another is DCT1?

imo can run 2 pairs @ diff timin but not diff sticks. i mite be wrong thou. smile.gif

incredible.. after flash BIOS also same....

is it suppose to be 1.39v???? and ram 1.9?

x3 710 should have stock volt @ 1.325v iirc, something is not rite there. ram wise acceptable but slightly high to my liking especially on stock freq. wink.gif

i think i mite find d reason why i can't do > 270HTT previously... vmad.gif

it's d darn 13x multi if i'm not mistaken... doh.gif

ok, 1 hour blend test done, next stop, 300htt... in my dream... tongue.gif

Those with Biostar boards, does anyone use the G.P.U Phase Control when overclocking? It's that option where is limits the phases to save power, and I just realised I've left it on throughout all my testing.

Will it affect overclocking or whatsoever?

i leave it off all d time as long as there's any oc done. w/ acc & GPU on, d system is quite unstable when it's under stress. smile.gif

TBH, the heat emited from a 2.5v KVR is much lesser than the 2.2v coming from the Crucial which I have tested...maybe due to the fact that the heatspreaders fails in terms of dispersing heat, hence the accumulation of all heat coming from the chips that sits beneath it...  doh.gif
not forgettin higher frequency = more heat generated sir. i'm pretty sure kvr can't do as high as Crucial unless those very early batch of kvr which are on D9GMH. smile.gif

never really run an am2 chip on 790gx board but it's all under t-series page (2nd last tab). cpu tuning > enable p-state XXX. they're all there, cpu multi, cpu vid, ht link multi & etc... voltage for nb, htt & dram are all @ voltage xxx... pardon me for my bad memory... old man i am... laugh.gif

all that mentioned are in bios. ami bios used on biostar board is in page format. d 2nd last page is called t-series. dun forget to off d green power utility too if u are to oc. smile.gif

aod is not so useful, i only use it for acc adjust. sad.gif

if no multiplier adjust needed, better use t-utility oc III for fine tuning. nod.gif
