Just trying my 1st attempt on OC'ing X3 720 BE on my old Asus M2A-VM mobo . Stressed using IBT...dunno can be accepted or not since i OC'ed only by changing multi with added cpu voltage. Definitely need new AM3 mobo to go higher than this

20.922s | rendude | AMD Phenom II X3 720 BE | 3.4 GHz (200 x 17) | Asus M2A-VM | Kingston & 2 X 2 GB | 800 MHz & 5-5-5-18-24-2T | Evercool Buffalo

sure can run...but got 1 small problem. everytime i turn on my pc...need to press reset button, else cant post. It's quite stable too...run 3dmark06, played GTA4 and other games as well...till now no prob at all. hope asus will update bios to support AM3 proc...but i can only dream

hi....i think its time for me to replace my M2A-VM mobo running X3 720BE with more powerful mobo...d 690G is just too hot when d proc is @ 3.4GHz. but this month budget is really restricted...so got budget rm250-300 only im searching for d cheapest mobo that can unlock 4th core....but all of them are > Rm350...except d ECS A780GM-A Ultra (780G + SB750) @ RM265 that support acc...but i need to know if someone here ever used this mobo before and had success in unlocking d 4th core stable...coz i googled but i cant find anything regarding this.

i've looked...but d cheapest mobo with SB750 is TA790GX 128MB @ RM355 if im not mistaken....but still out of budget . how much is urs 790GX XE mobo???

unfortunately...its not affordable to me...

Added on March 27, 2009, 11:06 pm i think u should try up ur CPU volt to 1.55V for kamikaze style OC result ...and see if u can go above 3.6GHz stable. this 720 proc is very oc'able...but u need so much juice to make it above 3.4GHz...i can see u have a very good cpu HSF...bun dunno about NB temp tho...

i tried oc my 720 on my M2A-VM mobo...went to 3.8GHz and able to boot to windows...but need to set vcore to 1.55V...tried to stress d proc...but d heat on d 690G chip is just too high...and d vdroop during stress test is also too high on this mobo.
