I'd say to me i'd go for ASUS M5A99X Evo because it has a 6+2 phase configuration, IIANM Asrock 990FX only uses 4+1 phase... More phase is better for oc... just my 2 cents ah...

Ooooohhhh naise clock there khoo... demmmmm me want to play with BD tooo

Where meh? If RM500 below ken get i grab already, it still hovering around RM6xx, so sad

Latest update:

Core speed - 230MHz (x11)
DDR2 - fixed at 667 (anything lower will produce worse benchmark results or same as no OC)
Voltage - 1.425V
PCI - Fixed at 100 (if I left it AUTO it will not post unless I reduce DDR speed - with this I can leave DDR speed unchanged)

With this, Super-PI shows further improvements.

Am I near the limit, or can I push further?

Can you clarify what you mean by HTT? Same as Bus Speed on CPU-Z? (sorry I kept mis- calling it core speed  )

Anyone can recommend me some RAMs?
Still winova or Gskill?
Dang im still using the 4x2GB ECO,
And just updated my M5A99x BIOS, it really "fixed" my pc
first i could not boot into windows 7 without leave my windows 7 dvd on my bluray drive.
and now Asus turbo evo can only auto oc my cpu to 3GHz, where old bios could go till 3.6GHz

I miss my old 890fxa
Still searching max HTT clock for this mobo
Gonna do the manual oc way since the turbo evo use too much voltage @ 3.6ghz

Flashed with the old one does not seems to help lol, duno what the f is going on with my harddisk or mobo
The boot menu does not even show up unless let my mobo detect the windows 7 dvd then it will switch to the real boot menu.
Tried with bootrec fix but no go
the last trick would be re install windows  :/sweat:

Is it the Black one? damn chio  :/thumbs:
but the heat spreader seems too tall :/sweat:
i have 2x 25x120mm fan on the RAM slots above :/sweat:

Second question,
Is it safe to revert the CPU LLC ect to normal settings?
Those setting automatically rammed up to "extreme", and the voltage seems goes up 2 notch if cpu underload.
Pretty sure my cpu could run 3.7GHz at 1.325v when using ud7.

Really bro? Saving money nao... Any hints on what brand? :/drool: :/drool:

All stock also same, no boot menu unless use teh windows 7 dvd to "bypass" the problem LOL
its quite screwed up now, no time to fix that problem, oc first, fix later 

So do you recommend the black one or the tactical? both also got tall head spreader, damn... still using the chunky venomous x, too miskin to afford wc.
Did you touch the Digi VRM setting too? i put auto in bios lol
still slowly upping the HTT, now at 254, everything seems stable so far, gonna play some game to test stability first lol

wah khoo.... 

you disable apm or not? disable it get very hot while prime....

do you disable the turbo core as well? 8120 rules.. hehe

Im using RAID0 when i was on Asus 790fx mobo, it still working after changed from 790fx > 890FX > 990X, AMD didnt made drastic change to the SB it seems
the RAID0 was my main boot drive and i didnt touch the MBR or similar things, until i updated the 990x mobo BIOS,
cant use achi or ide for sure cause the drive will be unrecognized by os, i have 2 RAID0 arrays, 2x 320gb, and 2x 2TB
All my HDD is still working fine, just booting does not work for unknown reason.
Not yet messing with the BIOS setting, my pc is working fine as long as i leave the windows 7 dvd on my optical drive :/sweat:

Btw are you going to test the black one ?
if not i will just go for the yellow one, or may be i will search some reviews for the Elite version.
not sure if wanna buy the h100, my vx still working fine lol, can just dont put fan on the "push" side, one fan for pulling out the hot air prolly is enough.

My digi vrm was auto configured by mobo, probably will leave it untouched cause afraid later my oc will screw up lol.
not sure if the digi vrm setting are too "extreme", but after i enabled aggressive EPU settings, the vcore dropped a bit yet it still very stable under load, now @ HTT 268 :/thumbs:
probably still can up a few notch before i need to bump the vcore.
tried to do 300htt but my ram does not seem to like 5.33x divider or lower one  :/x
manual oc ftw :/P

ah_khoo OC mode activated

Duno leh, flashed with old bios also same
too lazy to fix the booting problem, probably need to remove the old OS or just install GRUB

Will be Waiting for the good news then, since its elite version i think its probably can clock better than the tactical version
been stuck with the 4 sticks of eco for age already, really need some thing can clock better
If i have the 2x 4GB of eco i wouldnt keep searching for new ram already lol.

Btw ROG mobo dont have epu right? lol i should have bought the CHV back then, been admire the ROG for long time already.
Which brand mobo burnt in your hands? is it BD draw too much power when stressing the oc setup?
WC is way to go if you have the money lol. aftermarket chipset/mosfet cooler does not exist i think... cause thermalright dont make them anymore.

better than mine liao... i board llc doesn't working.... 

c6 power causing the system unstable.... now can enable llc alaready..
my cpu here is very hot with 3.6 and prime.... are you on water cooling?
cannot play much... damn hot while prime...

all need water cooling... lol Corsair Hydro H100 looks cool.. go get one bro... hehe

His neibor WC is much much better than H100 bro, 240mm + 120mm custom WC smokes H100 yoo   

mosfets actively cooled?
as the temp already near the limit with this volt, i donno what will be if 1.45v

btw, last time i read somewhere that said AMD purposely displaying lower temperature than the actual.
u think? the temp reading correct or it shud be higher? hand job style ofkos.

kekeke

i mean the CPU temp. may i know the what is the reading for cpu sensor for 57c mobo sensor(any value also can)? difference is alot of just normal like before?
