thats what i have in mind too.

well to me a 3.6ghz duallie is decent enuff but since amd quaddie is cheap nowadays its simply a no brainer.

what i got in mind right now is

965 C3
msi 770-c45
some decent ddr3 ram(need u guys help here but i think a decent 1600mhz 4gb kit would suffice)
and maybe some 4770

does the mobo good enuff for the proc??or do i need something better??

1. i will take giga 770 instead of msi
2. i will take 955 if d price diff is quite alot (>RM50, not so big for some but suffice for better ram/board)
3. i will take crucial value w/ d9kpt over any bling2 ram which cost 25~50% more (it's suffice to get a pair of ram which capable of doin 1333+ @ cas 6 or 1600+ @ cas7)
4. gotta agree on 4770, less heat but on par (or slightly inferior to 4850 from what i hear, pardon me for bein a gfx idiot, i'm still usin 3850 from dinosaur age )

d board is no match for d chip, i will take a more balanced combo like biostar 790gx (for future cf)/giga 770 (for superior pwm + award bios but layout wise not so great).

my 2 cents sir...

better 955
n 5770 n normal ram..

@hilmiangah - as bro ah_khoo say, don keep lion(965 C3) in cage!!
letb it free and rule the jungle!!
790Fx go2!!

noob question, is it need to play with fsb?
some said if used BE no need to play with it, just multiple can do..
really work that way ka?

arghhh... bro, u x abih2 sembur racun 5x00 series ah?

do not keep ya lion (board) in d cage too... 790fx is capable of high htt oc...

this was my highest attempt, can go higher if luck is with u + some trial & error sessions...

no doubt there's no need to fiddle around w/ htt when u got a be chip, but lite htt oc (i'm not askin you to do extreme htt oc since phenom don't really befitted from havin high htt) can offer better options for your 24/7 setup (mix of cpu clock, ram freq as well as nb freq).

kinda agree on the layout of the giga 770 being weird.the 8 pin connector placement at the middle of the board.

does the 955 get the new stepping as the 965??

im running an Asus 4770 Formula now.loving it power consumption and heat output.but thinking of letting it go but if the budget kinda strain than im going back to the same model but different make.

im still on the dark bout the ram still.something called Team Extreem 1600mhz 4gbkit is kinda interesting.

icic... me oso not sittin infront of pc oc 24/7 mah...



yup, 955 has got c3 flavor, abg cloudwan is usin one currently, but dont pressure him ( ), he's still takin his own sweet time to tweak d chip.

asus 4770 formula? d car like heatsink rite?

ur referrin to team dark 1600 cas 7 rite? if it comes cheap, why not? at least guarantee u'll have 1600 @ cas7, low voltage some more (1.65v iirc).

gaybite only used 8-pin or can used 4-pin?
i have to change my psu with my bro coz my 8-pin cant reached at the top of my mobo..
coz of my case, psu postin is at the mottom...

didnt know that 955 got C3 too.

and the new giga 770 looks very good though.

i think im gonna do more RnD on this one.

If the layout for the MA770T-UD3P is weird try looking for the 770TA-UD3, it has all the best features of the former but with better layout & SATA3 & USB3.0

Yes the 955 has the new C3 stepping, like ah_khoo said check my sig

The ram just ask our bro ah_khoo to get those Crucial Value Kit from SG ler, very good performance & much cheaper than that Gskill too

btw those new revision of the giga board already available??

if only i got moolah, i'll do bulk already bro...

tested by my new neighbor - ddr1600 @ cas7 w/ 1.74v w/o sweat... nothing to brag about but value for money imo...

i think it's kinda hard for distro to bring in these model for amd platform, not until their clear d non-A series.

sure ka?than now u used 8pin 0r 4pin?
woried will harm d mobo
but i already change my psu with my bro
later will change back..

100% can, been doin that since nf4 era. just make sure u plug it in in proper direction (dun worry, u wont be able to insert d connector if ur in wrong direction, dun anyhow force it thou, later both psu + mobo ko ).

yeah..but with this giga, i can even make my ram tighter...that biostar cant do that...

i searching for that mobo for almost 2hrs at lyp... (reached lyp at 0940am, and i wait untill all shop open..) no sight of that newer 333 board...geram geram geram...so i cant hold myself..bought a mobo same like u la bro...

i search for it becoz i saw that mobo on pc zone pricelist 23 dec...but pricelist 31dec no more...reappear on this latest pricelist...so anyone want to try? okekekke

Ya lor just notice it in PCZone pricelist.. tho the price isn't listed yet.. If the price range is still within RM3xx that would be sweet

should be rm300+.. got several other model carries 4 n 5 series to be priced higher.. so for the price is quite ok..
just hoping distributors bring it in..

more options doesn't necessarily mean better mileage, it's d tweakin skills that matter. noob like me has no problem did 1700 w/o sweat on 790gx a3+ but on 790fxt i only managed a 1680.

fat hope, 790fxta vs 790fxt here is $319 vs $285. u do d maths bro...

i'm happily retired bro... no more mid range stuff for me... i use low end system only from now on...

I been using 955 C3, its very good, I could get to 3.8GHz with a low voltage of 1.35V. I assume you don't read the whole thread before posting
