hmm.. this might be off topic.. but does anyone stays around subang?
Id like to borrow your processor for awhile just to test out my board, suspecting my vcore problem might be caused by the proc... of course, you can come along with me to my place and test it out =)

i doubt that the board will be 270... its a new board utilizing new chipset. It would be at least RM300+ le.

Why is that ? Because mine 5.4 at 3.0ghz. Nvm then, Vista Exp just to poison us into buying new hardware =P

ive got 5.6 @ 3.2ghz, eitherways, its unreliable sweat.gif
the 5.6 is my only bottleneck, everything else maxed out doh.gif

Guys, why is my +12 volt is showing 7.9v only???  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif

no worries bro, the readings are off. I was scared dead the first time i saw it and mine reads 8.6 sweat.gif
Tested with Multimeter and PSU is fine. Its our board's issue. It does indeed seems like a very early stage to get 790FX, many softwares doesnt ready properly form its voltage/temperature sensors. Im having couple of other issues as well.

voltdrop? what psu u using...also see what hardware you fix to that comp..try to disconnect some hardware and see still so low or will increase

dude... if your 12v drops to 7v, theres no way he still can boot into windows and take that screenshot doh.gif

can you use your msi corecell software? my cant.

what bios ur using. when i push to 3.3 always my pc has issue. grrrrrr.
i feel my mobo is holding me back.

im currently running on bios 1.31 (beta). As for the software, on what i researched, none of the msi software works properly for K9A2 Plat, so, i can't either. Only the new AMD Overdrive (beta version) can be used.

As for your proc, i dont think its your board, it the end, black edition is still a brisbane, and a limit to a brisbane is about there regardless even if its a BE.

btw, what vcore are u using to push to 3.3Ghz?

QUOTE(dj.eRicZzz @ Jan 12 2008, 01:57 AM)
lol maybe his hardware like those f3 gem?
*
The PSU rails has nothing to do with the proc bro. His 12v rail readings are off due to the board.
Your PC will not boot at all if the 12v rail drops down to 7v.

lower my htt to 1000mhz,
ram at 800mhz, either 1:66 pr 1:2
up voltage to 1.5 vcore
tried either 3.4 = 14x240 or 17x200
wide spectrum disabled.
still cant push to 3.3 and 3.4.
arrghhhh  cry.gif  cry.gif  cry.gif
thanks, new dual core center works with my window now.  rolleyes.gif

3.4? mind sharing with us the setting.

Reduce your multiplier, try using 10 and run 340HTT (3.4Ghz), as for voltage, go for 1.5-1.6 (if you have sufficient cooling).

it depends on that ram, any D9GMH is able to do that clock with a breeze. If your rams cant take it, reduce your ram speed to 533Mhz instead of 667.

ram speed difference on AMD is rather significant, apps launch faster and overall system is being very responsive. But not that noticeable on intel setup.

btw, to run 1360Mhz on 340x10 you only need DDR667, no need 800.

DDR800 on 300x10 (3.0Ghz) = 1200Mhz ram.

If OC F3 >1.5V 3.4G and above, I believe it will draw >120W.
This will drive the PWM like nut, try orthos and yr PWM really can fry eggs liau  tongue.gif

this depends on the chipset bro, my board runs very very very cool, even at load @ 3.4Ghz. Idle 31 and max load 38 only. ATI 790FX chipset uses very little power.

PM ckcong, he is selling direct for rm120.
is xigmatech s1283 dude as per my signny. come with a 12cm 2200rpm fan, quite silent.

silent..? sweat.gif
running at full speed its rather noisy le bro, ive had it as well. Then again id have to say, the stock fan is a rather good fan, the flowrate at that noise level is indeed acceptable, but still audible to my ears.

Good luck on your sales, btw, how much ya willing to let go your HD3870? if price is good i might grab it for my xfire tongue.gif

You rig is rather well built, the only thing which is pulling everything down is your rams bro sweat.gif

4000+ indeed can reach 3.0 easily, and the problem is... thats about where it gets and wont go much further.

4000 should be Brisbane right??
If you using CoreTemp to read the temperature, better be careful as the DTS is spoilt. The reading which is shown is not accurate.

-pWs-
*
4000+ is indeed brisbane, only 5200+ onwards are windsor cores. And yea, one of brisbanes biggest headace is the DTS, you will have to touch the heatsink yourself in order to know if its hot or not.

And just another tips for u guys touching the heatsink, our body temperature is approx 36-37c under normal condition, so, touching anything which the temp is within our body temp doesnt feel warm/cold. Just approximately compare your body temp with the hsf temp, its easy to know the actual temp of the processor.

Im running the Stability test and its kinda good and cool.

i tried it and surprisingly.. it works very well. Unlike all the other software based OC tool which suck bad.

set ram 2T in bios... memset is just a tool to test the right and good timing for ram in windows.... and it cause system hang as well....
i always do mem tweak in bios... never use memtest also...
find the best cpu best speed u can get 1st....
memory let it as lower as it can support.... and ram vdimm make it 2.2 or 2.3 if u wanna go over 3ghz...
even my ram is running at it speed 667mhz when my cpu achieve 3.4 i still need pump vdimm to 2.3... else system won't boot up... and not stable...

torture cpu ... and cpu will torture your ram... =) that's why crusial is the choice of a lot overclocker here....
we have build in memory controller... and not intel... have memory controller on board...
*
which if why, if you guys ever notice, Rams on amd will not overclock as well as rams on Intel setup. Also bro, just to let you know, indeed crucial rams are good overclockers, but they are also known to have a short lifespan and a huge number of RMAs.

well... it depends on how u guys use it as well. As we all know, most of crucial performance rams are packed with D9GMH which is the favourite amongs overclockers. Knowing that, people tend to push them alot therefore resulting in problems.

As we all know, overclocking risk is shortening the lifespan of your hardwares, in this case, the lifespan of the crucials are shortened much faster than the others.
