i'm more excited about this rig than i was about the xeon w3520 + gigabyte EX58 + 6gb patriot biper ram, back to AMD, DFI, water AND OCZ after 2 boring years of intel/asus/gigabyte/corsair and air coolers :cussing:
can't wait to put this stuff under water push it really hard and tweak it for the next 2 weeks!
but how good do these chips scale under water? voltages don't matter as long as they don't kill the chip within a year :D
May I ask what was your workaround?Quote:

The latest AOD (3.0) doesn't detect my 955 and says there is no AMD processor present...:( ...2.14 works, kinda....
Ive found 2.14 to be most reliable , When i tried AOD 3.0 was borked with my 720 actually and M3A79-t .Quote:

AOD3.0 has great features , they just need that RAID Exterminator stuff for da bugs.
Very full Review mate !!!
Awesome yours score on Gigabyte mother Board.
Gigabyte Rulzzz:eek:
Seems like I received the F4a BIOS from Gigabyte! :)
Well, tonight we'll see I guess....
Here's hoping! :p:
how much CPU NB VID control (default 1.1V?) for NB about 2400-2600MHz?
depends on chip really......720's need more..
+.150-.175 If I recall corectly is a good ballpark they way gigabyte does it.
I have X4 955 0911EPMW, seasonic 500W, ma790x-UD4, i tried +0.15 and nothing woth NB 2400MHz :(...I had to must reset CMOS, not posting with this
Just curiouse ,, Do you have a bigger PSU say 650watt?..Quote:

It should still let you add volts to Nb even being a 500watt. On the Top end youll be pushing that PSU soon.
I mean, 500W is ok, TDP 955 (teoretical is 125W, but no real, real max is about 105W in burn), HD3870 is about 100W in burn, and 2 modules RAM +2x HDD not too much.
In reviews testers had ussually 600W PSU but high-end GPU gtx265 and more or HD4870 or hd4870x2.
Seasonic 500 will get you by, but let me state that I would not be using it with any gameable vidcard + overclocking........only onboard graphics or low power non 6 pin.....Quote:

The more you pull from the rails the more stress the PSU is under, the more stress the higher the ripple unless of course your like me and only buy PSU's with low ripple under load.....The Seasonic is decent with a 2600Pro or equivalent low TDP card......If your Ocing.......for a stock system its fine..........
I think for overclocking conditions with a higher TDP vidcard such as a 3870 your pushing the limits however.
For my bench rigs with a good vidcard ( 4850 or higher) at minimum I use my 750silencer .......If I require more juice a 1200 turbocool feeds the need........and if benching 4870x2's in crossfire both the 750silencer and 1200 turbocool are up to the task when looped together......
to time it is at 3600Mhz with default vcore (32 and too 64 windows), one man wrote me, NB on my board is any BIOS bug, il try higher NB over buss speed
Hey guys. I was wondering if my chip is a good batch. Here is a pic. Thanks.

not sure about that one, Chris... my 955BE is a 0911 BPCW and it's better than my 940BE.
I am sure someone must know. I sure dont thats why I am asking LOL.
not sure about the week 13. the last number is a bit high 0467 but that hasnt made much differance with the PHII from what I have seen.Quote:
