hi all,

Just bought a new system yesterday:

AMD 64 X2 4000
Biostar TA690G AM2
512MB x 2 Micron D9KGX DDR2 800

I can only go till 2.41Ghz only above that it will not post or load to window.
btw any one here know where can I get the patch for amd cpu

after 2-3 day playing around with the Bios, I manage to overclock my X2 4000 before this can only go 2.41GHz.

The specs:

AMD 64 X2 4000++ 2.1
Biostar TA690G AM2
Micron D9KGX 512MB X 2
Coolermaster GeminII + 2 x 12CM Stock Lian LI
Seagate 250GB SataII 16MB
Silverstone Strider 560W
Panasonic DVRW Sata

Now just need to Orthos / Prime it



BTW I enable my Cool N Quiet option....

EDIT: 19 August 2007, 2.16AM.

Manage to get 3Ghz on my Biostar TF TA690G AM2. now just need to run orthos / prime it

For Biostar TA690G AM2 user. New bios R69AM828

I got it yesterday. http://rapidshare.com/files/54960947/R69AM828.rar.html

Got it from Biostar china, sorry I cant read chinese.

http://www.biostar.cn/supports/BIOS.asp?vI...ID=26&Value=551

I think the bios corrected the Brisbane Chip temperature reading, I might be wrong tho. Plus I already update/flash to R69AM828 also. its seems just the same like the previous R69AM727 bios.

Dont know about others but my Biostar TA690G give me Idle 26'C and load 29'C which is nonsence. Temperature below ambient.(window enviroment)
But in Bios its around 35'C-42'C.

But after I flash the lastet bios R69AM828 the temperature slightly increase and almost the same as in Bios (34'C-40'C).

AMD X2 4000+ 2.1GHz (Brisbane Core)
Biostar TA690G AM2
Micron D9GKX 512MB x 2
CoolerMaster GeminII + Lian Li Stock Fan x 2
Seagate Barracuda 250GB Sata2 16mb 7200rpm
Panasonic DVDRW Sata
Silverstone Strider 560W


Hope MOD can put me in one of list also.

thanks, it takes like more then 20 over attempts to surpass the SuperPI.

Last night updated to the latest bios R69AM913.........its seems similar to R69AM828 bios notin so special about it tho... Its just when I upadated to the latest R69AM913 some how my speed decrease 0.25% from default speed 2.1Ghz it become 2.094Ghz. Same goes to my RAM Frequency / my HTT all decerease 0.25%.

I haven't overclock with the new bios, perhaps this weeked I will try.
As for graphic performance, it still the same as R69AM828, notin new function came with this new bios

The graphic: not really sure have to check it tonight, but in Bios IGP/IGX seems all the function same as R69Am828.

Overclocking function: already have in R69AM605 / R69AM727 and R69AM828.

OK will check it tonight when I at home, now I in my office.

Yup its true, just try it last night.....it got the 0.5 cpu multiplier. I also tried to see what and how far this new bios can push my X2 4000+.............at first try it got me at 2.96Ghz with X9.5 multiplier /+0.75Vcore/bus speed 300Mhz/HT 1204.

then I continue to increase the Vcore(+0.87) and Vdimm(2.15) and cpu clock at 310/X10 multiplier................after rebooting and not post at all and wont even load to window.......and try again with minor changes with the voltage and the multiplier and ram timing. ...............then boom..........my system got corrupted........now re-formating and will try again later tonight.

Thanks mate I always want to try HD video clips and see what are the outcome. appreciate it

hehehe...ok my system up and running now. Just now testing to see HD video clips 720p & 1080p

seriously have to overclock up to 2.52Ghz to see those movie clips smoothly.

720p take up 25%-35% CPU usage at 2.52Ghz - running smoothly at 19" 1440x900

1080p take up 40%-55% CPU usage at 2.52Ghz - facing a jerk in some of the scenes.


All done with onboard graphic X1250 ATI Radeon (stock did not overclock IGX/IGP).

Cant wait for you to change to TA690G, perhaps you can help me with the new bios R69AM913 and give some tips to o'c ram kaw kaw.

nice going there bro is that the max, u can push your X2 5200? I would love to see some one can push it till 3.5Ghz
