Not all motherboard support PII 965BE?? Gigabyte says my MA785GM-US2H does not support..



how reliable u think it is?? even some good board also doesn't have it on the cpu support list..

major concern is d tdp, however, there'll be lower tdp version of 965be so worry not.

even it the mobo does support 140w cpu.. its not on the list.. weird... overall only 8 mobo from gigabyte official on the support list..

What is supported 'officially' can sometimes be added or removed according to situations such as test done internally or by 3rd parties....

The gezillions of PC products out there and to test everything to ensure everything is working fine, is almost impossible to do...

Like when I boot up using 790FX-GD70 the bios didn't recognize the X2 550 BE proc...under processor tab in Bios, it describe it as Unknown AMD Processor

To me it doesn't really matter if it support or not...if it can be power up, it can be use...what better if can be overclocked!!!

Biostar TA780G MA+ couple with toliman 2.3Ghz, kingston RAM 2gb and Sapphire Hd4850 Vapor X 1gb DDR3 HDMI port ---> spiderman platform

yup, what is important is d speed detected correctly, d rest is just for eye candy...

woaahhh.... gd70...

btw, if any of u guys need to find coolin for d pwm (especially biostar 790gx boards), i would suggest ocz xtc ram cooler v2, it fitted pretty well on my 790gx a3+. just remove d clamps & zip/cable tie it to d 8 pins cable from d psu...

Tons of bios options, eye candy LED's, easy out of the casing operation, one button CMOS reset, cool looking heatpipe n sinks, what more do you want...hehehehehe

Maybe I would 'lelong' the GD70 for funding of my i-seben platform...the 1366 yah not the 1156

if u can afford gd70, ur not far from gettin ya hands on i-7-eleven platform.

imo d 4 * pci-e x16 ports is abit "lebih", if i were to cfx, i would choose i7 instead of amd for max performance...

Agreed..Antonio..kenapa tak gerak ke i7? - -
But then what to CFX so much? - -

that's why he's movin to i7 mah... he must have lotsa gfx cards lyin around, coz x58 boards usually come w/ 3 * pci-e x16 ports rite?

Lol!

I dun plan to CFX nor do I intend to play games at the highest settings...

The reason of me purchasing a platform (be it AMD or Intel or Transmeta or Motorola Freescale or whateva) is because of the sheer ultimate CPU processing power...If I can afford Quad Xeons/Opterons or Itanium II, IBM PowerXCell 8i I will...

I only care about SPI, WPrime and all the other CPU related benches...not so much info 3DMK06 Cinebech the lot...

i-seben is the yardstick now and as you see on the link regarding 6Ghz Phenom, there is no way it could beat an i-7 in SuperPI or whatever PI for that matter

I'm not saying that I would leave AMD camp, is just the i-7 the is 'currently' benchmark right now...

No lar...i dun own so many cards...in fact the one I own is just enough to boot into windows and watch non-HD Avi or Matroska codec encoded videos...

I dun game much while I do play a certain amount of game, the 4870 is more than enuff already for me...currently I'm on Quadro or sometimes the EN9400GT ....thats is why I rarely poke into the HW forum regarding GFX...

CPU powahhhh FTW!!!

we sure have lotsa freaks in amd thread, in bro -pWs-, we got a foldin freak, while u for spi/wprime.

i only care bout those chips that i can afford, that's why i don't give a feck to i7. however, second hand i5 mite be a reason for me to embrace intel again...

same here, i doubt my 3850s which bought over a year ago had been fully utilized w/ games, now they become like geforce 2 mx while geforce 4 were widely used.

i find it more economy/affordable playin w/ chip + ram coz usually they wont cost as much as gfx. tweakin is fun but nowadays oc has been made easy by less effort needed to achieve high clock, but still, it's d only hobby i have here in sgp... sound kinda lifeless i guess...

Yap...thats true...I don't play Crysis, Far Cry or Crysis2 or even UT and COH...the games that I play is, Sim City, Football Manager and rFactor...which all runs fine today even with the outdated 4870

I've once been a GFX freak starting with Voodoo 1,2,3 then Nvidia Riva TNT2, Geforce 1,2,3,4, Geforce 4 Ti, MX440, FX5900, 6600GT (SLI), 6800GT, 6800Ultra, 7800GTX (SLI), 8800Ultra, ATi 9200, 9600XT, 9800XTPE, X900XT, X1950X, HD3870 then 4870...

TBH I really regret buying all those...

Why didn't I jump from Riva TNT to 4890 straight...

on contrary, i was a cpu/board swinger b4, gfx (low to mid range) was only a side hobby as i never really into gamin that much. it all started when i purchased abit nf-7, then d nf2 infinity which made me madly in luv w/ dfi boards. then came s939 era where amd was d performance king, managed to taste dfi lp nf3, nf4 sli & expert w/ 0516 venice, x2 3800+ e3 & few x2 4x00. madness @ its max when intel took back d performance crown w/ d intro of c2d. tried x2 3600+, x2 3800+ f2&f3, x2 5000+ be, 9600, 9550, 9750, 9950be, 7750be, x3 720be, x4 810 & d x2 550be now with boards such as ax78, 790gx a2+, 790gx 128m, ut 790fx, dk 790fxb, jr790gx, 790gxe 128m and d latest 790gx a3+. was abit lucky to get few pair of affordable but quite ok ram along d journey. d most unforgettable pair would be patriot tccd which managed to prime stable @ 310MHz @ 2.5-4-3-x.

best buy of all = x4 810 (bought @ $140, sold @ $150)

worst buy of all = 0516 venice (bought @ rm7xx iirc, sold @ $40)

ehh, abit off topic ledi, better stop now...

need opinions..

1) What Athlon II proc is good to use on Biostar TA780G M2+?
2) Windows XP still need to install AMD Dual-core optimizer driver for Athlon II X2? Does Athlon II X4 need AMD processor driver installed in order to make CnQ works properly (at minimal perf loss?)?

its time for A factor

can anyone help me?? im just bought corsair xms2 2x2gb ddr1066mhz... but cant boot up to window laa.. pening kepala oledy.. before this using normal ram 2x2gb ddr800mhz.

here some ss..

lemme guess, runnin on ddr1066 divider on auto timing?
