what duta2 bro... me volunteer one okie...

i had very short spell w/ gd70 b4 so i can't really compare, but ram wise gd70 is richer coz no drive strength options in gd80... but, gd80 still decent enuf for mild clocker like me.

it was a very good board back in its era.. 700series.
that time no thuban yet..

now, some ppl get problem with the board after insert thuban in..
plus this board is outdated.. if compare with 7series, mem clocking indeed great..but now with 900series, 790fx gd70 is nothing...

even 970 chipset would be better than 790FX chipset?

last time got fren told me that 870 is better than 790GX chipset

well.. depends on motherboard..and what is the thing that u are comparing

let say.
if Ram oc, i can say the yes. 870 better then 790fx. but stil not all 870 mobo better than all 790fx mobo
generally is yes.

if u talking about how durable 1 board is, then it depends on the component and quality build.chipset has nothing to do with this.

if u plan to OC ur processor speed, just get a good cheap mobo with 8+2 ok already.. here in OCU always recommend 8+2..kekeke we like big pwm count..kekeke

Well, kinda waste if I sell my 790FX GD70 mobo, it looks damn nice with its bling bling back in its era

Note: Weird, I dunno why my GTX570 as stock clocks can score higher in 3DMark compared to it being overclocked >_>"

4x2GB
the time i buy the ECO iirc there was no 2X4GB kit, its very rare/non-exist on singapore, unless buy from oversea.
Yeah now 8GB ram price dropped alot... luckily BD launch date got delayed, else it will took me very long time to buy new 8GB kit.

Look and name doesnt matter to me, i want clockable ram only!

for me in 890 era cip even gigabyte 890gpa served me well compare to gd70 in term of proc overclocking... maybe my bad luck or else..
but i tell u my experience... the mosfet are unable to handle thuban 140w and often shutdown when in high load n stress, i also make loud hissing sound before it shut down
only 3.8ghz r safe for it compare gigabyte 4.1ghz stable since i use lousy ram not much comment for da ram... better refer otai ah khoo for tweaking ram

Added on July 20, 2011, 1:43 amwah bro gd80 dun have that features aye? kinda weird??? is it still have dr mos monitoring function?

By using multiplier base cpu core, i tot didnt kacau ram it is? unless u bump its system bus will bump ram as well.

so using multiplier to OC, even value ram can handle it?

it depends on how well is d build quality & bios implementation. yes, chipset does play an important role, but if u compare an oem 970 board to msi/asus/gigabyte 790fx, which one will be better. obviously d answer is clear, isn't it?

no problem bro, have fun with d ram (& loan me if ur bored with it )...

well, it's a fact that gd70 was a great board back then, apart from d weaker pwm. ppl burnt mosfet when primin & MSI was in hot water due to this issue. like i mentioned b4, if one were to put d board to test, some precaution steps must be taken. most important thing is to have d pwm cooled ACTIVELY.

u mean temp monitorin for cpu pwm? if so i think hwinfo got a sensor showin d temp for pwm (i assume that coz d temp is almost as high as cpu temp). some sensors in hwmonitor not givin correct readin on gd80, hwinfo is a better tool.

yup, but there's no ummphh if u just play with cpu oc while leave d ram @ stock.

ah khoo what is ur max temp for pwn in full load?

Started OC my cpu last night (boring what to do..hahahah)

OC my cpu till 3.8GHz@1.48v using multiplier only and i think performance didnt increase too much even below 10% (i just guess)

*tested using Adobe CS5, roughly just faster about 3~8second only (i dont know how to check CPU performance. So i decided using my application to see by using my naked eye only )

pwn temps cant be measured unless you got a probe there...most mobos dont have temp readings for pwm

Added on July 20, 2011, 9:40 amtest CS5 loading or what? if loading then is HDD lo~

if hwinfo sensor is correct (from what i assume) it's 52'c @ load - 3.5GHz w/ 1.3xv.

i have my pwm cooled actively like this:

is that custom bracket u using...kinda like a ram cooler... mine only single fan... wanna go electronic shop looking for 3 more of those
i felt like this mobo or 990 chip kinda bit hotter then before

blow hot air from HS got use ka?

Retouch something la bro i dont know how to explain because im noob in CS5

if loading issue, no need to say CS5 la. loading windows also can know

that was a ocz xtc v2 ram cooler. one of d bling2 fan dead (becoz i cleaned it w/ w/ cutton ) then i buy 2 x el-cheapo cm 6cm fan to mount on d bracket.

x90FX is always hotter than xx0xX.

ya tak ye jugak... but pullin is always weaker than pushin? lemme try when i have d time.

thx for heads up dafreak gege...

mine only 1 fan huhuhu full load prime can reach 61c woooo if i set digi+vrm to extreme if manual switching maybe low
