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??

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

Where did u buy those ramsinks by the way?? It look quite different from those i seen before..

Ur using the newer CF ver2.0 or d old one??
My CF ver1.0 mobo i need to relax the ram timings, pump up the ram volt to 2.0v, cpu to 1.375v, FSB 210 n cpu multi at 15 can only then oc to 3150mhz..
Higher than that i donno my mobo would be just too unstable.. Even at 3150mhz it is not stable during superpi..
It could be my settings are wrong but i'm just too damn lazy to try other configuration more..
I'm already happy running at 3ghz..

Buy the new X2 6500 ah.. I believe it has 2mb L3 cache

It's only 95w TDP right?? Still ok ler tuh..
Waiting for the 65w TDP version ah??

Yup, it's a 2 core phenom..
Read a few reviews saying that is quite good..
But it's been slow seeing stock arriving to m'sia..

I'm using Xigmatek HDT-SD964 and at idle it's around 3x degrees.. At full load i'm not really sure haven't really checked it yet..
Oh yer my SD964 is in 2 fan push pull configuration..
Don't have any screenshot of the temp though..

The only drawback with xigmatek sd964 that i think is that the hsf can only be mounted vertically, which means the hot air would be blowing up towards the PSU..
I kinda like my old HyperTX2 which blows to the back which coincidentally just where my rear exhaust fan sits inside my oldie CM Praetorian case..
I'm itchy to try o/c my cpu but just can't yet since i haven't gotten my hands on any ramsinks to be paste on my mobo pwm's..

Ur mobo clip is on side ways so it point the HSF horizontally.. but my TA790GX has its clips at the top and below soooo the hsf would be directed vertically..
I even try it on my old K9A2-CF and same as my biostar it would be mounted vertically too..

EDIT: Yup i think its all about the bracket too.. Have to check 1st the bracket on ur mobo before any decision, i didn't know..

Woops.. I didnt look at the pic carefully, As u mark there the retention clips hook on that mobo is not at the side..
My mobo hooks are at the top n bottom same as yours, so it would blow up not to the back..

Nvidia chipsets are like that..
My old NF570 Sli mobo si also like that, u can feel the heatiness..
But i donno bout the newer chipsets though, should be much cooler due to the lower nm manufacturing process..

Hi guys, just a little dumb oc'ing update using biostar V6 oc setting..

Phenom Agena 9850BE | cloudwan | Biostar TA790GX 128M | Crucial Ballistix Tracer | 880Mhz | 24-18-5-5-CL5 | Xigmatek HDT-SD964 [Push Pull Config]

SuperPi 32M Result : 26m 17.955s


SuperPi 1M Result : 28.688s


OCCT 1H : Passed @ Idle 38c Load 55c


3DMark Vantage : P7033 CPU = 8964 GPU = 6561


Don't think i'm going to o/c more yet untill i get some small ramsinks to keep my pwm cool.
Currently just mounting an 80mm fan to blow cool air to my mobo pwm area.. Not sure if it's enuff or not..

Nice man, i couldn't even get my brisbane to work at that speed at it's stock volt.. Nice very nice..

I know but i'm still learning to oc phenom here..
I'm still blur2 about the bunch of settings needed to be done in o/cing a phenom.. Much harder to understand than ocing X2's..
I know 9850 could be oc'ed higher but still i'm not comfortable with my mobo's pwm yet, don't want it to suddenly go pop sizzle n crack..

[quote=xixo_12,Oct 18 2008, 12:56 AM]as long u didnt hear any hissing sound shud be ok
what ramsink u wanna get for PWM?

try get full solid copper ramsink.. i think quiet a lot ppl sell it..

[/quote]

Got people selling it??
I asked teckhooi regarding his ramsinks but still no reply..
If u know someone who's selling it and can do postage please let me know coz i'm looking for it inclusive the 3M heat transfer tapes ler..

see ur loosen timing there cloudwan
not try to tight it more?
better result yield

i've tried mine at cl4.. highest stable is around 890Mhz.. if urs is old d9 crucial sure can go higher..

gud luck to all who participate tomoro..

[/quote]

Thanx for ur info..
Mine i think is the newer one, bought it from shawty just a few months back...
It's just micron D9 not the D9GMH or whutever soooo i don't really know of it's highest achievable oc yet..

Maybe it's just from lack of cpu volt.. Try bumping up a bit ah..

Yup respect respect..
May he rest in peace..

Yup, even my old brisby BE works fine at 3.0ghz using 1.325v...
1.4v should be able to hit higher than 3ghz ler..
