lol @ d bold part... 

d poster missed to take temperature into consideration as well... as we all knew, temp @ europe/states is a lot diff than what we have in countries near equator. i'm pretty sure on air coolin they can achieve higher clocks usin same amount of volt if compared to us due to advantage in lower ambient temp. but when it comes to sub-zero, i reckon it doesn't matter nemore.   
so now usin tongkat ah? must take gud k so that u'll recover fast... 

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

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 pay 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(s) & 1 driver (ic i supposed). if u observe 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. 

dun worry, im not bashing them lol, actually the other way around, still doin research on their boards coz im interested in them, not bad a review in the link i gav summore, not currently liking the 890fxe, but maybe shud wait for 870a-gd60 hydra...

not something to shout about, but this geil value is quite ok considerin it's of value line... 


*courtesy of my fren...

nice bro.....

as for me..so busy nowdays...4ghz is achievable...soon prime stable heheh
i found out frm my own test that...higher cpu-nb like 2.5g actually slow down the proc..this is based on a benchmark tested..
4ghz@2288ghz is faster than 4ghz@2500ghz..but not much lah........

@ah_khoo
wait..u did tried same ram on 700series chipset right?
can tell the diff of new chipset in mem clocking?

edit: what ram cooling bro ?

ah_khoo

here is some 4ghz prime action   shud be stable for me dun want to stress more..

nice clock there bro!!! our ya board really something... 

u make me feel like robbin pc shop already!!! 

ps: may i know what batch is that? 

oh noooo CL9.. my eyes
btw, nice clock
