waahh.....
this thread still warm like always...
issued 1 question than many answer will drop in!
nwy, i have 1 question, is amd have limit volt for ram?
if overvolt the ram, will effect cpu also ka?

there should but not as sensitive as intel i supposed. ram handled by imc which resided in cpu, so vdimm mite flow in & out of d chip, worry not, so far i haven't heard of any case that chip/imc bein killed by high vidimm. high dimm on 24/7 mite degrade d efficiency of imc thou... 

Pump vDimm to 2.4v. Sure fly.

Check out the layout of the Biostar 890GXE without the heatsink, looking at the MOSFET....

digital PWM my arse, their using traditional MOSFET(potong satu kaki tiggal satu type) thou rather thn using 3 MOSFET in one phase, they use 3 + the IC driver, which i think shud be better thn only 3 MOSFET in one phase. the only "digital" i can see thou is the use of mini sized ceramic caps around the phase( very tiny ), i understand this caps is also used on the 890FX version, thou tat one has 5+1 phase, wonder why they still mixed it up wif normal solid cap design at the phase, weird, cut cost maybe....

to be fair to biostar, they never claimed that DPU (digital power unit) = digital pwm.  :/nod:

u gotta consider d cost factor here, what do u expect from a manufacturer of value line? to sell their boards @ value price but to use top notch materials (like evga top of d line x58 board which uses better caps, chokes & etc in their pwm > these stuffs are even better than what have been used on msi premium boards which claimed as military class)? be practical, we always get what we paid for. some more, it's not that biostar doin badly in oc, in fact, some of their 7xx boards really impressed me, particularly d 790gx a3+ which to me is one of d best 790gx board around (oc wise), comparable to boards from premium brands like asus, giga & msi.  :/)

i haven't try (dun think i will have such luxury nowadays) their 8xx boards but i'm pretty sure they'll shine for budget range. d only let down for their 890fx board is as what mentioned, lesser phase of pwm if compared to others.  :/(

on a side note, by right 1 phase of pwm should include a group of mosfets, cap & 1 driver (ic i supposed). if u observed clearly, some manufacturer(s) claimed that their boards are of x+x phase of pwm, but when u check thier pwm area it doesn't tally w/ what they claimed. i have no qualms on this (could be d case diff manufacturer diff standard on pwm thingy) as long as these boards perform.  ;/)

Yup sokong this, i had my fair share of using biobintang, msi & giga mainstream boards, so far i have no qualms with biobintang boards, in some case my old TA790GX performs much better than my old MSI DKA790GX Platinum in oc'ing..
My TA790GX only kaput pun becoz of lightning & someone being tooooooo lazy to use the / command in flashing bios   

U get what u pay for is the key here.. 

Yo guys, superfly wanna do Gigabyte OC Gathering...

xixo and antonio would be there...urmmm...

BTW here what i found during surfing~

AMD and Voltage...the truths, and myths revealed.

thanks for d info sis... how r u now? fully recovered already? 

btw, can provide d link for those info ah? we dont want ppl to say we practice plagiarism here... 

Yeahh im going great so far! Doing fisio...

BTW here the link : xtremesystems : AMD and Voltage...the truths, and myths revealed

mak aii... sound serious coz need to do physio... must watch what u eat bro... avoid cold drink & takin bath late @ nite... 

waitin for ya come back thou i'm aleady outta bizness...   

must drink kacip fatimah..

err.. that list can use ar coz not all proc are same..

Yup, already avoid those cold drink...now walking like ketam...haishh!
