any Biostar TA770 A2+ user here?

wanna a confirmation here biggrin.gif

the chipset (AMD770/SB600) got no driver rite? sweat.gif

already scroll through the default disc, no chipset driver in it

already surf through AMD's web site, no chipset driver download section

only the "AMD 7-Series Chipsets Disk Performance Utility" available

just curious, just bought the mobo & this is the first time i encounter a chipset that doesn't required a driver to operate rclxms.gif

which OS that you are using?
the auto detection of installation disc doesn't work for the particular OS that you are using  icon_rolleyes.gif

sorry forgot to state, me using vista

cd inserted > a menu pop-up > choose driver to install > no chipset driver shocking.gif

so there is a driver for this chipset (AMD770/SB600) huh?

haven't try digswell method --> installing Radeon driver

btw, me using 8800GT biggrin.gif

i assume these 45nm will be dually core, rite?

QUOTE(Digitimes @ Friday, 1 February 2008)
AMD recently notified partners that its 45nm-based processors will be launched on time by the second half of 2008. The company highlighted that the new processors will consume less power and have better performance, according to sources at motherboard makers.

AMD's 45nm processors are expected to see core frequencies greatly increased, while L3 cache sizes will grow from 2MB to 6MB. Power consumption of the cache will also see a significant drop, noted the sources.

The initial launch of AMD's 45nm processors will be AM2+ socket-based with memory support up to DDR2 1066. The company will launch AM3 socket-based processors with a built-in DDR2 and DDR3 memory controller in the first quarter of 2009, which will


what does it means by power consumption of the cache?

cache as processor? or cache as cache? rclxub.gif

all these years the significant power drawer are from the cache itself?

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ (2.5GHz)
Motherboard: Biostar TA770 A2+
RAM: OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 Gold Series
PSU: SilverStone ST50F (500W)
VGA: Gigabyte GeForce 8800 GT TurboForce Edition

user posted image

managed to OC till 3.0GHz (240HTT × 12.5)

more info in table below:

user posted image

for multiplier ×12.5 --> HTT = 240 max
no matter what voltage i use (cpu, memory, ht, & nb/sb) still can't boot if htt were to be increased
no matter what memory divider i use still can't boot if htt were to be increased

for multiplier ×11-8 --> HTT = 267 max
same no matter what voltage i use (cpu, memory, ht, & nb/sb) still can't boot if htt were to be increased
no matter what memory divider i use still can't boot if htt were to be increased

for multplier ×6 --> HTT = 280 max
same no matter what voltage i use (cpu, memory, ht, & nb/sb) still can't boot if htt were to be increased
memory divider on DDR 400 --> 267 max
memory divider changed to DDR 533 --> 280 max
memory divider on DDR 800 --> failed

so, anything i'm missing? icon_question.gif

seen one review by BCCHardware

OCed X2 4800+ (2.5GHz):
  • up to 380 (HTT) on ×8 multiplier
    user posted image

  • up to 240 (HTT) on ×12.5 multiplier
    user posted image

btw, for AMD, which is better:
  • Higher HTT × Lower Multiplier, or
  • Lower HTT× Higher Multiplier?

Keep to Higher Multi & Lower HTT.
No performance increase if you use higher HTT.

Correct me if I am wrong smile.gif

QUOTE(ah_khoo @ Feb 15 2008, 10:08 PM)
yup, highest speed is d best. higher htt will limit oc, so highest multi + low htt will definitely goes further...  smile.gif

correct me if i'm wrong too...  wink.gif

so no point for me to OC further anymore

at first wanna try on every multi, see which multi yield the highest htt

guess have to stay on "high multi × low htt"

ok, thanx dudes icon_rolleyes.gif

QUOTE(dblooi @ Feb 15 2008, 10:14 PM)
pws is right. high/low HTT but same clockspeed make not much difference in AMD platform.
the only reason to use higher HTT is to overclock the HT link  icon_rolleyes.gif
also, bear in mind that higher HTT= more vcore needed.
you might not be able to oc to same clockspeed with same vcore, but higher HTT lower multiplier  notworthy.gif

ya, that's keep bugging me today

which is better rclxub.gif

250 × 10 = 2.5 Ghz, or
200 × 12.5 = 2.5 GHz

thanx bro for the clarification icon_rolleyes.gif

@ all Biostar TA770 A2+ user

u guys facing the slow boot up problem?

any setting can be change to solve it?

770 chipset is codenamed as RX780 smile.gif

I no think is bios coz ur bios date oso 01/25/2008
i bought tis 2 mobo at 12/1/2008
maybe will ask XIXO bout tis

@ xixo
can u post ur TA770A2+ mobo CPU-Z ss

i just googled A78XA-A2T

dblooi is rite, A78XA-A2T is the code name

but why the difference?

nothing serious actually laugh.gif

i bought mine 4~5 days b4 CNY, can't remember sweat.gif

QUOTE(dblooi @ Feb 15 2008, 10:32 PM)
It's depends, for me i prefer 11x multiplier
when we choose 11x multiplier with 667 divider.
we are actually using /7 divider.
It's the best divider that can be used in extremely high clockspeed ( > 3.9GHz)
depend on the ram and proc ocability , we decide which divider to be used  notworthy.gif
You have to study the divider table then you'll know which one is suitable for you  icon_rolleyes.gif

interesting

will try it tonite, see what happens rclxms.gif
