just go to the link i give you, no need to find new one since RMA unit (replacement) also consider as new one.
none of the seller will let you change/ swap/ trade mobo

it either the chip itself, not the brand. wanna try other mobo? i have 3 with me right now :
Sabertooth R2.0, 990FXA GD80, Crosshair V Formula. just come to my place,
bring your processor, mobo and hdd <-- hdd and mobo : incase i need to see your bios and try out

of course all these boards were not in the same league with your board. i don't have any high-end gaygay board

*take note that my 960T also cannot be unlocked now, but can be unlocked to 6 core when newly bought

not yet, until you post 3.9Ghz CPUZ here

i'd strongly suggest you to OC through bios
to OC processor, you can increase the HTT clock or just simply increase the cpu multiplier

OC using HTT a bit tricky which you need to lower the ram speed, cpu-nb speed and HT link
when you increase the HTT (some mobo called BCLK, FSB, bus speed), other element such as ram speed,
cpu-nb speed and HT link speed will increase too. for 1st timer, i'd suggest to OC by increasing the
cpu multiplier

to OC ram, this processor can support up to 1600. try change the ram divider from 1333-->1600 from your bios.
btw, you need to fid the limit for 1 element at 1 time. example : OC cpu 1st, set the others to lower than stock clock

you can start with cpu 1st. good luck

we always do try and error, but most important is we must know what we are doing
we need to know what is the max safe voltage or max temperature

very good question
1. run stability test, example prime95. the best if run custom prime

2. cpuz - shows our hardware such as ram speed, XMP ram, cpu, motherboard (with bios version)

3. save setting, log in windows, if no crash or BSOD (blue screen), restart-->increase multiplier by 0.5-->boot again.
until crash, then should pump the vcore 1 step. at that point, at least we know at what clock we start to pump the vcore

4. BSOD - not stable, related to imc, vcore etc2

5. reducing vcore - to get lower temperature, thats all.

like pokder cloudwan said, even some people suggest to run at least 3 hours.
but with custom prime, i only run 1 hour

which way you OC it. by increase the cpu multiplier or the HTT a.k.a BCLK a.k.a FSB?
provide SS of CPUZ as well. open 4 cpuz, open for cpu, mobo, ram speed and SPD tab

no such the safest-for-OC term. the best is keep the temp as low as possible.
i'm not sure what is max temp for FX series. but i'll keep em below 60'C at full load

*after googling around, i think your mobo can do light OC only...
but don't worry, you try first then post here to let us know the result

i'd suggest to look at ASUSTeK->Temperatures->CPU
but... looks like so hot there...
load or idle? if under load condition then its normal

no need to downclock the ram. try OC the ram. 1900-2000Mhz for the ram should be
sweet spot for thuban core (phenom X6). what ram do you use. 1100T @3.9Ghz should be nice.
good job bro

try 4.0 1st, as 4.2-4.3 need too much vcore
just use ram divider 1st, 1600-1866 for the ram.

btw don't forget to attach SS here for the cpu, memory, SPD and mobo if possible

how do you downclock your ram. from 1600 to 1200

wow, even higher is better bro
how do you know that you ram can't be pushed above 2000mhz?
and how do you downclock the ram? if you increase the fsb a.k.a htt,
i guess you are using ram divider from 1600-->1333-->1066
because if you OC your cpu using cpu multiplier, only the cpu speed will increase
others (memory, cpu-nb clock, HT link) will remain at stock clock

try to play with memory OC bro, it will be more fun they said
btw, at 2000Mhz + bootable or not?
attach your cpuz here like this boss
open 4 cpuz ; cpu, motherboard, memory, SPD
**sorry for using intel rig right now



Sir, according to his reply above, he increase the bus speed a.k.a HTT,
so i guess he use divider to run the memory at lower speed...

need your guide here Sir

from attachment
core speed (CPU Clock Speed) = 4023.2Mhz <--stock 3.3Ghz, can go up to 4.0-4.2Ghz air/water cooling
Multiplier (CPU Multiplier) = *16.5 <--stock multiplier for 1100T, can go up to 20-21 with proper cooling system
Bus speed (HTT) = 243.8Mhz <--stock clock is 200Mhz, can go up to 250-300Mhz depends on mobo
HT Link (HT Link Speed) = 2194.5Mhz <--stock is 2000Mhz, let it stay at stock or near stock clock
NB Freq (CPU-NB freq) = 2194.3Mhz <--stock is 2000Mhz, can go up to 2600-2800Mhz

from you SS, you are OCing your CPU by increasing the FSB a.k.a HTT.
i'd suggest you to OC by increase the CPU multiplier (*16.5->*17.0->*17.5....)
if you are aiming for 4.0ghz +, it should run by (HTT*cpu multiplier) = (200*20.0)

by increasing the cpu multiplier, you don/t have to worry about you ram speed increase as others
(ram speed, cpu-nb freq and HT link) will remain at stock clock while only the cpu speed will increase

apart of CPU multiplier, you can also increase the CPU-NB freq by increase the CPU-NB multiplier
ram part, just simply change the divider from 1333-->1600-->1866-->2133.
ram speed was depends on ram capability, can go up to 2100Mhz + for AMD thuban core iinm
some good ram that rated 1600 can go up to 2000Mhz with CL9 @1.65V with no problem

poison keep coming.
try cpu multiplier 1st. good luck bro

i agree with master cloudwan also. ony certain HyperX T1 is good. others sux
i would go for gskill or ballistix

i thought master khoo want to suggest GD80.. my bad then.. indeed EVO is a good OC mobo for budget.
