Yup. Afraid the electric bill sky high.
I'm not very interested in gaming

Thank you for the tips

lol.. i just read sumwhere bout cold boot last nite, then i sleep infront of computer with winamp open, kanak2 game i play,

Thanks xixo again for help as well
It was nightmare to me
I hope I didn't give you much trouble

nightmare playin w/ d 790gx a2+?

u'll luv d board once ur comfortable w/ it, d only drawback (for me) is d position of cmos jumper. it's located rite below d primary pcie 16x slot. kinda troublesome if u need to clear cmos.

Hope so that I could clock higher with my current setup. My PSU and rams might pull me back
In deed it's very mah fan...PCI-E card is blocking the cmos jumper
Biostar should have placed it in the middle of the board

so jealous u all use so geng MB.. as my MB cnt tune NB,...
mostly will let my phenom go...

Wait for new revision of bios
No nid to waste $$$

imo, d clear cmos jumper should be placed near d external start/reset buttons, it's d most accessible area.

biostar = decent oc + value for $$$. if biostar = geng, then what u'll say bout dfi (yes, i'm one bias b@st@rd ) or asus or foxconn?

get a gx a2+, it's a decent oc board that won't burn holes in ya wallet, else, dfi ftw...

TA790GX 128M RM355... TA790GX A2+ should b much cheaper
DFI definitely rocks but costs more $$$

Guy's just need ur opinions ah, i'm thinkin of getting me a Phenom 9850BE + Biostar TA790GXAM2+...
Are these component a good combo??
I don't really wanna spend too much eg. above RM3xx~400 on mobo's ler..

i doubt there'll be big diff in price for d 2, most likely RM20~30 cheaper only. but heck, why pay more if u don't really use d sideport mem rite? to be honest, asus seems to be more powa in oc now (thanks to it's new 790fx + sb750 & not forgettin d 8 + 2 power phase ). it's still too early to judge thou coz dfi just launched their new series of board not so long ago. built quality wise, asus win hands down (asus @ 8+2 vs dfi & others @ 4+1), but that indicates more $$$ needed too...

d combo will do just fine, all u need to do is to sink d mosfets if u plan to oc d b.e chip, which all of us know are hotter than those 95w phenoms.

Oh yer, to all Biostar TA790GX users, do u have any prob with heat at the mosfets coz from the pics on the net the mobo doesn't have any heatsink or any cooling solution on the mosfet..
Kinda scare if it goes kaboom or something if i o/c..

Added on October 8, 2008, 4:45 pmAny other mobo's that fit my bill which has heatsink on it's mosfet??

guys.. really need help here.. i've bought tracer 1066Mhz but still cant get my system stable at 1000Mhz.. i dunno wats the prob anymore

i believe we don't have user here who is on 790gx a2+ & b.e chip. bear in mind that u don't really need those supa expensive mobo just to have their beatiful (but not necessarily effective) nb/mosfets cooler. if there's a will, there's a way. this was what i did w/ my ex 790gx a2+. other than sinked d mosfets w/ those coolers attached, i hang a 6cm fan on top of 'em just to cool 'em more effectively. these coolers barely get very hot w/ d setup. but ofcoz i was usin a 95w phenom only back then...


cpu-z & memset ss pls...

P/s: I am not related to rock rock


Right. A2+ should be slightly cheaper
No doubt on Asus + DFI

I have seen mosfets blown in TA790GX

i believe it's more on psu issue rather than board issue. we had a bro here who blown mosfets on his ta770 board, d fault is on his psu.

this is for my kvr.. but the setting is exactly like this.. Link

Owhhhh i see so i just need to buy regular ramsink and it's enuff ler??
