@Bata
CERTAIN 780G motherboards will NOT! support Phenom 9850 BE and Athlon X2 6000+. Most of them out now will NOT support it.

Those mobos have 4 stage PWMs that will blow when any 125W CPU is inserted.

770X and some 790X (MSI K9A2 CF) will NOT support these too in current revisions.

I think the J&W 780G board has more PWMs, and a DFI board is coming (obviously, 6-12 stage )

9750 and 9550 also 125w no??
so what mobo can be used with BE3 safely now?
and how do i check

Gigabyte 780G is okay, but if your customer wants to OC, just get him an MSI K9A2 Platinum. It's about RM500 but has tons of features and is definitely worth it.

As for integrated graphics, I don't think someone wants to use a 9850BE with THAT.

rm 500 mobo will make him...

i will keep the Gigabyte mobo in-check, but it is mATX mobo

i need to know whether

THIS compatible with B3 or not

maybe i have to email their support directly


Chow

Sorry bata, the ECS does not support 125W CPUs.


The Abit AX78 does (6400+ and FX-62 are 125W), but the BIOS for 9850 hasn't come yet. This is much cheaper than 790FX though you'll have to choose a graphics card.

Always update motherboard BIOS , will improve compatible.


*WHEN latest B3 Phenom release in Malaysia ? I'm ready to buy..

how do you know? can teach me

how about Biostar TA780G M2+ Socket AM2+?


Chow

I checked the Biostar 780G, same conclusion as the AX78- good design, no BIOS yet.


If the Athlon X2 6000+, 6400+ and FX-62 is/are supported, chances are that Phenom's not gonna fry your mobo. However, wait for the BIOSes to come first before actually purchasing, as Taiwan OEMs have terrible support.

go for DFI Lanparty 790 FX series bro...don't thint they have a compatibility issue there

Hooooooo the new KING. i love tis

770 and 790 based chipset should not have problem right....
because usually they do support X2 64 FX which have higher TDP :\

Chow

still no B3 in the latest pricelist
on the other hand, penryn's price has dropped

Dropped?I saw some increment lehz = =

e8400 from rm790 dropped to rm730 in PC Zone
of coz its still higher than rm680 SRP

bout motherboard compatibility:

check this

bata, how much is phenom B3?

isit really gonna blow or just not functioning?

Mobo should blow if the MOSFETs are not able to handle the load/overheat.


At min, the system will become permanently unstable.

790FX boards are all okay.

Same goes with 770 Chipset?
