hehe dats normal when u flash ur bios bro
everything went to normal setting

I see, thanks for the info bro. Never tried flash BIOS with OCed cpu

Totally agree .. Everything back to default the moment you flash the bios ..

My latest attempt for 3Ghz

The latest BIOS for TA690G from 8tvt is rock stable

I played games and not even a single 'display driver has stopped and has been recovered'. No problem OCing and using onboard VGA

Great to hear that but I'm already on external GPU .. They should have released it earlier .. Save money in buying GPU ..

For the mean time, the onboard is great enough already for me

But I got a Q, from the web, it stated that it is X1250, but why is it becomes X1200?

I remember reading somewhere X1250 and X1200 shares the same core .. X1250 with AVIVO meant for consumer market while X1200 without AVIVO for business market .. I think they share the same driver .. 690G running on X1250 core ..

I bought the 690G with the intention to utilise the onboard GPU, save from buying external GPU .. Those initial drivers/ROM has problem with onboard display like the one U mentioned .. Blackout and display problem thingy bug came out .. Fed up with it and bought an external GPU lor ..

I think that's because of BIOS most probably. I didn't try playing games using the default BIOS, but with 427, sometimes it blacked out. But now using 605, so far so good

can i overclocked X2 4000 + 65w processor ?

wat is the 65w ?

noob in this area

Yes you can, and full features depends on your mobo. You can read more about OCing in the respective thread provided. It helps, and for any guidance, here is the place

65W is the wattage used for the proc

i believe u need to set 3x HTT mul...

the latest bios save alot of things.. before that i encounter a problem when try to hibernate the pc.. S1/S3 state should be resolved..

another thing.. in gpu setting got max/limit wattage... by default set as 75W... i think if we increase it as 100W should be great for OCing the gpu... coz power drained from mobo can be bigger.. thus ensure stability..

lol i flashed using awdflash.exe.. the value not reset..
google around guys.. last time i download at biostars site..
as i remember the old days.. using that similar program to flash the bios is the only way...

every proc cn be o'c bro
its just how far can it o'c will be the prob
it depends on ur setup also

There is no mistake. AMD is officially dropping the 64 because there is nothing special about it anymore as all processors now support 64-bit addressing.

Hah! Should be damn easy to make a brisbane run at 45W..just undervolt..yeah baby..

Gosh, you people need to read the news more often

This is confirmed (there are more sources, but I can't find the links anymore-so long until my web history also gone)
Barcelona -will be shipped late this month next or next month. Launch will be the following month after that.
http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/32702/135/

Agena -will be out within 60-90 days of Barcelona. Another announcement by AMD puts the official launch in Nov.
http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/32731/135/

Gonna look again for that article on AMD's new naming scheme. Basically,
First 2 letters will indicate the categoty of the chip (budget, mainstream, high performance)
First and second number will indicate power consumption and category (forgot which number is which)
Last 2 numbers are to differentiate the different spec chips in the same series.

Sempron -will all be single cores based on the current K8 architecture using DDR2. Will eventually move to the Barcelona architecture, though when exactly has not been mentioned.
Athlon -will all be dual cores based on current K8 architecture using DDR2 (in other words, new revisions of Brisbane).
Phenom -dual and quad cores based on new Barcelona architecture.

Basically, for desktop processors, those with core names based on cities are made on the K8 architecture, and those named after stars are based on the Barcelona architecture (also unofficially known as K8L/K10). The 64 moniker has been dropped because all current processors are already address in 64-bit.

-Update-
Barcelona will launch on September 10

Found the link to the new naming scheme. Not the exact same article, but the information is identical.

shouldn't the next gen Athlon would would be K10 as well? and the main difference between Athlon and Phenom is the absence of 3rd level cache of the former.

can u suggest any mobo that can o'c wif tis processor ?

and does the wattage affect the o'c result ?

well u can have a look at the 1st page for mobo recmendation
brand such as DFI, Abit and Biostar are quiet gud
but try not to buy gigabyte...

no...its the OC that affect the wattage lol....

and like mruzian said, look at the first page and see those who has good OC and see their boards...i recommend u abit kn9 ultra coz manage to post and boot at 343x9.5 ,,,but didn't prime yet due to my chapalang psu....

it looks like you totally have no idea about the basics of overclocking, so i suggest that you have a read on the pinned threads first.

Agree .. Read the basics .. Get in depth info on the role of each items so you get an idea on appropriate settings in due course of OC .. Every component work hand in hand .. Don't simply OC, else, you'll be left with SMOKE and BURNT SMELL, not to mention burnt wallet ..

Bro,

I've briefly browse my Abit mobo yesterday, kindly odd that the Dram setting is not within the softmenu. Different from biostar, dfi and Gigabyte. Anyway, I'll be trying to OC it with my brisbane. How far have u manage within the bios itself ?
