I guess ure right on that, funnily they initially started testing it with the gd70 and showed some rgeat clocks and thats why I bought them to start with. Whats a good kit of ram for this board now?
Corsair GTS 2000 Cas 8 4 Gigs.........1866 Cas 7 6gig triple channel GTS, hyper chips cant go wrong, i have the 2000 cas 8 kits they run solid on this board. The 2000 cas 8 GTS i have got 1880 cas 7, 1820 cas 6, and about 1776 cas 6 stable on this board, so your ram problems would be over if you got either kit.
Costs a bomb...
Well guys i took of the heatpipe and heatsink setup on this board and cleaned off the chips southbridge and NB and lightly sanded them to get them clean. I then sanded the bottom of the heatsinks lightly and applied some OCZ Freeze, and now checking my Nb temps its has droped 4c wow what a nice impovment, and it is very easy to do :D
Looks like I need to use some of that mx2 lying around.
Hi guys, quick question. For the first time I am limited by volts rather than temps...I want to do a suicide run, but am not able to get my volts above 1.55V on the board. I set the second CPU V in the bios to 1.65 and the CPU V to 1.55, but it still stays at 1.55v only...how do u dial in more voltage??
i had problems at first but it was just cause the volts weren't high enough at the recommend 1.65, but was just fine a 1.72Quote:

I have an important question. I am currently using BIOS 1.3 which has been rock solid since i got the motherboard some months ago. I dont have any problems overclcoking or stability issues but I have just ordered an Intel SSD drive. Now, I have read a lot of articles regarding the bad SATA support on the MSI board compared to other 790FX boards. It wants to have an AMD Raid Driver just to get the maximum performance out of a single HDD. All this makes me think that i wont be getting the best performance out of my SSD right out of the box compared to all other Intel ICH9 controllers which are pretty much better in terms of SATA support. My question is do any of you have a SSD drive hooked up and which bios are you using ? I see that Bios 1.5 for this board has some sort of SATA controller improvement, do i need to update from my 1.3 ? Any1 using 1.3 + SSD, if so can you post some performance screenshots with native Windows 7 AHCI drivers (automatic trim support) compared to AMD AHCI drivers (manual trim support needed with some 3rd party tool from the SSD manufacturer.) ? All this SSD stuff makes me dizzy and i want to get it right from the first try when i get my Intel X-25M.. Thanks in advance.

I've checked around the the web and it seems that AMD SB750 is not as great as the Intel chipsets with SSDs. Here are some results from me with my Intel X-25M G2.

AS SSD result is a bit lower than the Intel chipsets but I think thats expected. I have yet to see SB750 with 400 points with an Intel X-25M G2. Nonetheless, ATTO is rocking and the performance is phenomenal compared to a traditional spinner. Very happy ! I haven't tried the AMD AHCI drivers and I don't advise doing it since it degrades the performance, for Intel X-25M G2 that is. ;)
Try to turn off the C1E in the BIOS.Quote:

As some of you may know I lost a board only on water.
It's a board i use for reviews strictly and was not out of bounds of normal.....ln2 boards don't get RMA's unless requested by manufacturer.
Just the way I do things.
Anyway very fast turnaround, kudos to MSI. I think I sent this shortly before my trip to CES.

Google is your friend! (already got it)
But thx for the new link!
;)
I've been getting the same, but usually when prime testing at my current clocks and volts and also if i push the volts and clocks up to get 4Ghz. Hopefully the new bios's that have been posted will sort this out :eh:Quote:

I'm not able to get higher frequency but I'm able to get lower voltage for the same thing.

Where could I report bug for the Bios?
Already got one!

Tried 191b and got a HyperTransport flood error when benchmarking my SSD wth NCQ enabled :shrug:

Switching to 1.8 tonight and will let you guys know if any HT Sync Flood Errors start popping up.
Edit: if you still want to contact MSI though, you do it here:
http://support.msi.com/index.php
I have switched to the 1.92.
No problem anymore!
But one minor issue that's all.
Thanks for the info, will try the earlier BIOS as these errors are driving me nuts :ROTF: Be intersting to see if 192 has sorted the issue too though.Quote:

This board is amazing:eek: i did not found out yet, what i CAN'T do whit it:P
running with: 955BE, Geil ddr3 2133mhz cl9 @ 1600:rolleyes:
btw, first post here :D
ok i know there some new bios out there for this board , i was wondering what is the best one that has been tested for overlcokcing
as i still have the 1.3B6 bios
I'm using bios 1.5 now, and was wondering too what is the best OC bios arm :D

Anyone running this board with 8Gb and 1T command rate (comparing the Giga A UD5 with the GD70)
Anybody tried that? I had to downclock my Reapers to 1600 :/

the new bios lets me boot windows @ 1800.. not blend stable though, i think my ram isn't good enough.
Or your IMC caps out
tweaking the imc doesn't help, i always get the same error immediately after starting blend. I tried to give the ram more volts (1.80v->1.95v) and it seems to stabilize blend for a few more seconds.
Ok need some info and recommendation. What exactly does the Active Phase Management do and would I benefit from turning it on/should I turn it on?
if instant fail in blend test, most likely due to nb/ram freq too high. may i know which version is ya dhx? i have d same model & d revision is 3.2, which according to corsair forum is using micron ic. d9kpt/v perhaps. :)Quote:

I haven't tried a longer run yet, only ran memtest for a couple of minutes before I booted up windows and it seemed rock solid @ cl8. I will try again later.Quote:

after tweaking the ram some more it seems cl7 1800 is the most stable. cl8 / cl9 is instant fail in blend, auto settings (9-10-10) wont even let me into windows. @ cl7 blend errors on only one core, and only after the second test. :shrug:
Using same Corsair memory
Fully stable @ 1600, 7-7-7-20-27
nice. which rev?
Just boot stable, I need more time but big bios improvement finally

Thanks for the post moorhen2! One thing is for sure, MSI has been very good about updating the BIOS frequently on this board.
Thanks FlawleZ,they are very good to us at the moment,i have recieved 3 in the last few days,i will keep things up to date,as and when i can.:)Quote:

Most cpu's have thermal protection,once they reach a certain temp they will shut down, BSOD,well thats what i am lead to believe.Quote:

i am interest in msi because it has many voltage options (i hope 890fx has same [or more] options like 790fx)

Just added latest beta's to my bios post.:)
I was playing with my memory with beta bios 1.10B2, I was trying to pull highest CL6, spi 32M and 1M, TT Big Typhoon and Noctua NH-D14, so this is it, I can't pull it higher, I like this bios very much
http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/9435/mema32mmsi.jpg
http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/5492/spi1m952cr.jpg
wow great ram clocks cele303!
Clocks are great, but motherboard have slower PP than Giga, in 1M Giga at 900 CL6 can pull 0.3s faster... It was with optimized windows, and few tweaks, with this screenshots I was focus only at memory speed, so maybe 0.1s or 0.2s is Giga faster at lower or similar frequency... Too bad, with better PP MSI could be perfect board
Hi guys.
I need one favour :D
SS from Cell menu-BIOS, the part with voltages(cpu-vid, ddr and other), i need default vaules, those AUTO settings are killing me, i have to hard OC B45, but got this mobo 4 days ago, dont have time to get in touch with it.
CMON Cele ;)
These are the settings i use for my 965 c3 for 4.1ghz,24/7.Hope this gives you some pointers.:)Quote:

winki edition boards and standard gd70 boards are exactly the same. only difference was the bios. i guess they dropped the winki edition bios support a while ago.
Sorry, this is the source.Quote:

Thanks.
Looks like my board is EOL for x6.
anyone have try this mobo with x6 1055T , and how to disable turbo mode in x6 1055T with this mobo,
need guide please
itīs time for some x6 owners to report how theyīre doing with this board.
i got myself a 1090t a few days ago.
bios 1.1b1 wasnīt allowing me to disable turbocore. fortunately someone here on xs posted a link to a msi beta bios ftp site and i got the 1.1b0 from there.
i guess 1.1b0 should be the next official bios, but it was pulled from the msi site after a few hours.
maybe cause of some bugs. one of them is the famous "ht sync flood error" which keeps me from posting screenshots with more than just one cpu-z screen.
whenever i open 2 or more cpu-z screens my system freezes and i got a reboot followed by the "ht sync flood error" message.
without that bug it would be a perfect bios. i could run vantage at 4.3ghz and 3.1ghz nb without a problem. itīs a must to have turbocore disabled if u overclock and donīt wanna stay at stock volts.the system is 1hr prime95 (large in place fttīs) stable at 4.1ghz 1.47v and 3ghz nb 1.3v.
be careful MadDias.. i just read this from the memory section, wanted to make sure all the gd70 users saw it so im gonna post it here too.

There is a well known problem with the TIM used on the NB and SB chips on this board,MSI used some inferior paste,looks like gum,the problem was solved with taking the HS assembly off,cleaning the glue off the chips and aplying a good quality TIM,NB now @40c,as apposed to some users seing 80+c on there boards,even though the MSI saying max safe NB temp is 80c.Quote:
