erm..is it possible to create damage to the extra cores that can being unlocked??
cause switch back to 2 core dun have so big prob..

Unker you say allready down,but now i saw you using awesome ram!!! Liar arr!! ;(

btw how greener it caused? LV LV ;(

if stick w/ stock multi it could be too high for some chip, not all am2 as gud as f3 chips brought by bro dblooi. even retailed f3 5600+ was oso a let down.

that's d only preciouusss stuff i got, d rest are all cheapo...

it was a $10 top up usin my corsair dhx, guess i was lucky back then...

if ur referrin to volt, 1.80v w/ crucial value vs 1.6v on geil ultra vs 1.63v (can be lowered i reckon as i managed to run 1600 w/ 1.55v) on team lv.

rams are precious, CPU n Mobo come and go....

yup, i've learnt my lesson w/ d geil ultra 2133 & crucial value 1333... this team lv is to be kept until i totally switched to netbook...

ECS A785GM-AD3 (Black Series)

lol... ECS also comes with BE.. xD

but 95W really x worth.. cant put Quad BE..
lately kept searching for MOBO...
and finally search something nice... AM2+/AM3, DDR2 and DDR3 support (combo series), Crossfire, integrated HD3300~

If ur looking for DDR2/DDR3 combo mobo only J&W got them, but support is still

@tplus1
jetway?
i would not take it if i were u..
u can only slot in 2rams at one time..either ddr2 or ddr3..
if u want to stay ddr2, buy ddr2 mobo..if want ddr3.buy ddr2 mobo..
and they lay out also ugly..kekeke

lolz... i knw... just jetway got... but i am low on budget... and DDR3 seems super expensive... lolz... DDR2 in the other way is way more cheap and easy to get 2nd hand in low low price... wakaka...

and since i am building my own, when i got more $$, imma get DDR3... so, why not DDR2/DDR3? lol...

btw... let me knw whts the bad of jetway? haha... support still??? very weak? but the spec seems ok to me? lolz....

or isit nt OC friendly?

if i were u i'll listen to d wise^^^... they've been there & done that, so don't repeat what they've gone thru...

buyin mobo is d most crucial decision apart from psu if there'll be some oc involve, u need not premium stuff but at least go for well established one (not necessarily expensive).

Want ddr3 buy ddr2 mobo bro?

haha... how nt gud is jetway? xD

sad... looks like branded thing are safer.. lolz

If i'm not mistaken only our bro verdict had tried J&W mobo b4, but that was the DDR2 mobo not the combo..
U will face a few restriction due to the limitation of the bios IIANM.. Plus they do not do frequent update of the bios like the other manufacturers..

typo brader

ok..here my view..
u want to use back ddr2..so go ahead buying ddr2 mobo..if u bought jetway.u still use the ddr2 ram..so? u get urself a crap (perhaps) mobo with ddr2..
if later u want to upgrade, u just upgrade to ddr3 ram.. so u end up using ddr3 ram with crap mobo and the performance more or less the same with ddr2

sifu, do correct me with the crap term..if u think that mobo not so crap la

hmmmmm......... mobo really will affect the quality? i thought if chipset 790, then all same?

guess i will just wait for more budget then... and get abit or biostar

Sorry to say abit stop manufacturing mobo a long time ago.. I'm one of their mobo lovers b4

Added on March 9, 2010, 2:25 pmYup they are different but in essence the same different companies but both have staffs which backgrounds from the old Jetway company IIANM..

WOOT!!!! ABIT GONE? OMG! i long didnt update my hardware news....... OMG!!!!!! since when? i so slowpoke....

sad...

personally i'd really love to see how asus M4A77TD PRO fares. from paper, it looks like it has what it takes to be a great budget oc board. 8 + 1 pwm, 2 oz pcb, full solid caps, core unlockin, ddr3 1800 (oc)...

what bothered me was d fugly color theme... was stuck between 77td pro, 770-g45 & 790gx a3+, but in d end i opted for g45 which is slightly inferior - 4 or 5 + 1 pwm & non 2 oz pcb (vs 77td pro) for better look & bein adventurous (vs biostar 790gx a3+ which i've already tried twice). technically biostar is better than g45 (u can claim d former for havin better chipset but i doubt it would affect d ocibility much), especially voltage adjustment. not so sure bout 77td pro but if there's a chance for me to test it i wont mind to spend a day or 2 to have a run on it.

@ah khoo
so u have to get urself that board then...
go sell of gd45 and go for that board...btw i tot u hate asus, high and low end..kekekek

@t+1
since the economic recession i think..

it's not a secret that i'm a asus basher. i'm not a fanboy of any brand (well, except dfi but from what i heard we can barely see any amd board from dfi nowadays). ofcoz, i will be happy to be proved wrong, w/ that kinda price tag, it's quite temptin to be honest. but d look... even biopening is better...

high end wise need not to elaborate more... cun but price is another turn off...

mebe i should post a want to loan thread in vrz...
