1) Seriously? Mine beats the other three cores by miles ... :confused:
2) Are there official documents regarding the Green/Yellow/Red button?

@ tony or anybody else with the gigabyte board
does gigabyte board still use the CTRL+F1 in Bios to enable all the extra hidden tweaks?
Thx!
sure does ;)
anyone else got memory bios *bugs* with their 790FX http://www.thegeminiweb.com/babyboom...7/12/chips.gif?
:rotf:
No one else has gotten 3.4GHz, darn.
Highest clocks i've tried so far are 12x270 at 1.32v, stable for Spi 1m n wprime 32m.
Anyone on the gigabyte boards getting high CPU temp readings in BIOS? I've noticed my cpu temp reading (not the core temps) sitting in the 50-60 C idle-load. Temp seems to be the same as what AOD lists as TEMPIN2. Wats TEMPIN2 anyhow?
As for core temps situation I generally have these temps for most settings.
Idle: ~40
Load: ~50
Ambients: ~25
Cooling is a TT Big Typhoon
Whats the default NB VID people are getting on Gigabyte boards? Mines 1.138V :(
I must confess Phenom is really nice and rounds of this board quite nicely :toast: Not as clock able as Intel but even at stock there really is a noticeable feel in how fluent games run on Phenom and being able to clock everything independently is quite nice:) \
Much to learn and catch up on with you fellas but theres allot of concise info on the forum here so no worries on that:D BTW.. really nice Guide you did Tony and looking forward to seeing more info on Phenom with Part 2:)
Campbell;)
P.S....You are right Tony put the Ram @ 195ns and things smooth out very nicely tried 75ns:slapass: ...lol...but that didn't work:D
Schneider: Very nice OC, sounds like you have a sweet 9850 there! ;) But your giving the DS5 somewhat of a bad name on the IMC volts..
As I tried to tell you in the DQ6 thread AUTO setting will equal 1.138v's. Once you go to the negative volts it subtracts it from whatever the base NB setting is, IE: 1.25v for 9600BE or 1.30v for 9850BE.
Here is a SS of my 9850 on the DS5 with "Memory Controller Volt" set at -0.0500, the resulting IMC voltage is 1.25 (1.3std, -.0500):

If your machine won't boot at -0.0125, try -0.1000, which would put you at 1.20v/NB on a 9850, but please quit saying that the DS5 is limited to 1.138 NB, because it certainly isn't.
Mine goes to 2.9ghz at less then stock volts :) But even still at the same voltage and higher clocks then the 9600 BE damn these things crank some heat:yepp:
Schneider: Glad you finally figured it out! :D
I know I'm fairly new here, but I won't insist on stuff unless I know I'm right!
I'll be waiting to see what ya get when armed with the new IMC info...
My 9850 won't even run at bios defaults.... I'm gonna RMA it.. :yepp:
That really sucks Dave! Is that the same one? Losing track of time ya know:D
Yeah, it's the same one BroE. Thought I'd give it a few days to see if I could get it to run right. I even went and picked up some OCZ Reaper 1066 thinking maybe my ram had gone bad... Still No Go, I put the 96BE back in today.
Anyone know how the K9A2 or DS5 stacks up against the M2R or DQ6?
some one want to trade me my funky 9600BE for a 9850 BE ? :p:
Yeah, seeing how no one has a K9A2 suggests that that's an iffy board.
well after a lot of work and frustration... i have concluded that my 9850 HATES 1066mhz ram =(. so ive been running at 800mhz mode... anyone else having the same problem with 1066 mode? i also have noticed that my computer is more stable at odd multipliers (11.5,12.5,13.5) than normal even multipliers... why? >.<
The cache on these have really low latency compared to intel cache.
Im not sure i understand your answer :shrug: . if they have a lower latency, that means that have a faster cache right, "really low latency" means very small delay time, which = faster response? how does that make the 1066mhz mode unstable... shouldnt that make it more stable and "responive"? or were you not answering my question? sry if this sounds dumb/ignorant but thats how i always feel, lol.
