so bro db, ta770 is indeed a good board rite?
ive spent 160 for tuniq tower..whohuuu...
now want to sell my mobo..
rite now my pc is slow bcoz of my ram..not enuf juice

how much the voltage..1.2v?

there are some small issues for this mobo

1) cpu multiplier always change back to 9.5x after reboot for X2 3800+
2) inaccurate temperature and voltage reading in bios
3) boot up from bios damn slow ( it is noticeable
4) the HTT is a bit cacat . When i choose 300, it gave me 305 ; when i choose 318 , it gave me 316 pulak

however, i guess all these issues can be fixed through bios update.
let's hope for better bios from biostar

mobo stil new.. maybe can email them ur suggestion ..

oh ya, there is one more thing

the vdimm, after 2.7v straight away jump to 2.9v
dont have 2.8v

lor.. i think u don need that rite.. unless u want bakar ur ram...

not too sure, if 2.7v cannot bring my crucial 10th to 1333MHz , then 2.8v is a must adi

announcement of today's activities

1) Going to overclock the HT link. Some people claim that HT link too high can damage the hardisk and proc. Let's see it is true or not

2) Looking for suitable software for overclocking in windows on this mobo. Clockgen ? setfsb ? Biostar oc tool II ? or AMD overdrive ? Any other suggestion let me know ok?

what bout if u set it to auto instead of manually assign the cpu multi? this happened to me even on ta690g with latest bios. the diff is i only got 9.5x multi in d list, but when i set it to auto, cpu-z detected d speed correctly...

latest bios?
not too sure as i always stick to 605 bios.
that do not happen to me b4 on TA690G


edited: will try to set to auto , thanks for the suggestion

hey bro DB, the AMD OVerdrive which u download cannot be used with the 7xx chipset. You have to use the beta version, ill send it to you via MSN tonight as ive forgotten where ive downloaded it from.

I notice alot of issues using the 790FX chipset as well. But none of them are like yours... my main issue now is only very low max vcore (1.47) the max i can push is only 3.4Ghz now able to pass prime 6 hours, and as for vdimm, i can go up to 3.2v. ANother issue would be the ram timing, there is a problem with the TRAS and TRC, no matter what i set in bios, once booted in windows it always shows 18. both of them shows 18 clock.

Beside this 2 problem, ive got no other complaints, the K9A2 Platinum is indeed a great board. Btw bro, whats your max vcore on that board?

haha oic.. no wonder i cannot use. Will try beta version tonight
anyway thanks
luckily the trc and TRAS can change in windows by using memset or other programs.
So it shouldn't be a big problem

my max vcore? check this out
no voltage drop for this mobo, basically you will only get higher vcore than what u actually set

Bro db,hows the ocverclocking for the TA770?? is it almost the same With TA690??

Could the TA770 be better??

I dont know what software to use to testing it ?
But i have one software named ( Hot CPU Tester ) , please give advice , thanks !!!!

Get the orthos for it.
You can always google for it bro.

basically it's like an enhanced version of TA690G,
but currently the bios still buggy , need bios update badly
i will give my very final conclusion once i complete all the test

Haha, i will wait for the final conclusion as i am forward to buy this board in this few days.
My 690G sold d.Maybe will grab xixo's 690G as replacements at the moment.

Well bro,hope you can conclude the good and bad about the motherboard.

haha as you wish bro
will do that for sure
you can go through my posts in this thread if u wanna find out more about this mobo
btw, mana DJericZzZz?
he bought the mobo together v me but till now still no response

memset cannot work under 790FX bro, even the software sensors are still buggy. Speedfan/Everest detects my +12v rail @ 8v
Scared the crap out of me when i saw it, tested psu with multimeter and its actually stable.

Indeed new chipset is very buggy.

OMG
which memset that u've tried so far?
and you're using xp or vista or other OS?
i havent try to use memset on TA770 yet...
Need to try it later
