my low vcore

Upon reboot meh? Hmmmm weird man.. Wish i could lend u my gpu to test out but the distance is quite

Wei u n fuzore been fightin over ur age makes me wonder plak how old are u guys anyway??
Don't tell me above 40 meh..

hye.. new user reporting in..

@ah_khoo
both of ur card produce the beeping sound after u reboot ?

i hv a prob here. read/write queue bypass always revert to 8x even i set it to 16x. is this setting related to stability? orthos pass 12 hours but when gaming get blue screen

mind to show cbid to check wat's d wattage used?

thanks for offerin bro, d support of distros (mobo, gfx & psu) didn't even bothered to help...

i'll try to settle d issue step by step (thou i'm gettin more & more frustrated), take this as a chance for me to learn how to be patience.

weird thing happen to me also last night...

i updated my bios to the latest one... after the update is done reboot and everything.... i checked the bios for new option... got some new one but useless to me...

then i looked at the hardware monitoring option in bios .... the default vcore is now 1.325v instead of 1.275v as usual.... damn i tot this bios is just like the one making my censors crazy, set everything to default then boot to windows...

booting to windows ok no prob.... open biostar utilities both the hardware monitor and t-series oc 3 utilities and open cpu-z also....
cpu-z reading is the same as in bios the vcore default now has increased....

then i restart and went into bios and set everything to 3124MHz setup but i left the cpuVid and the vcore option at default cos with this clock my chip need only 1.31 volt.... bott back to windows and bla...bla..bla... orthos to stress test ... click the start button and..... Wallaaaaa....BSOD on the spot.....

WTH..... reset cmos and return back to bios.... check back the hardware monitor and surprise the vcore has reduce too 1.25v from 1.325 at default....
set everything back to clock 3124MHz with 1.31Vcore....orthos failed after 1 min 18 sec....

so with a very feeling i restart again and top up the vcore a notch....i did this a few times but still orthos failed....

then while i was setting the vcore my son came in the room and started hitting the keyboard..... bla...bla...bla.... accidently i dont know waht key was hit... but i boot into windows.....

open cpu-z and vcore 1.295V test with orthos passed 1 h 34 m ......

and yes this is a true story....

I'm going to b 30 this year can consider as senior citizen ka???

Wow, this just prove that ur son is a good overclocker too.. Maybe much better than u?
Can i make him my sifoo can?

did u do a cold boot after made changes in bios. i faced this kinda problem when i was on 790gx2, especially when mingle w/ nb/htt multi.

@ bro cloudwan,

we're almost d same batch lor...

nope i belive i didnt do a cold boot.... but now with the default vcore is back to normal i guess the prob has pass away peacefully ....

Hi, everyone.

Anyone ever tried overclocking AMD790GX IGP?

I am using Asus M3A78-T, tried to set higher clock frequency. From 677 to 800, without setting other thing. After boot up, monitor full of yellow colour lines. What does it means? Cannot overclock or need to set other things as well?

@fuzore
Oh yeah forgot, did u select load optimze setting in the bios after flashing ur bios??
Last time when using my old biostar after flashing usually they exhibit strange settings at bios but after selecting optimize setting n restart n reset my bios everything b ok..

@ah_khoo
Waaaa same batch meh? Only my batch eats a lot of core volt
Hehehehehe geng2 tua..

i would say heat... have u check d temp of ya chipset?

u mean u set the ram speed from 667 to 800MHz only or the cpu clock only.....

Added on January 22, 2009, 11:04 amYa lor did u oc ur IGP or ur RAM meh??

So need to install chipset cooler? Removing default heatsink?


I set this.

it's d freq of ya onboard vmem. lower down d freq, clock d igp only will do.

put gfx engine clock overide = enable, increase d clock bit by bit, watchout d temp.

Sorry for being newbie.

What you mean by lower the divider and clock the IGP. The 667Mhz is Vmem?

Eh...guys when ocing with igp only dont we need to play the side port voltage...?

sorry too, used to terms in ram clocking too much ledi.

sideport clock speed = freq of ya IGP memory

gfx engine clock = clock speed of ya igp

i wouldn't clock d video memory if i were u, play w/ igp oc is enuf. not to belittle igp but d diff of oc & non oc is negligible to me.

yup, it's needed. it's like vgpu in gfx & vcore for chip oc.

so i guess if bro thteong82 still wanna try playing with the igp ram he need to tweak the sideport voltage also....
