Hmm. What am i doing wrong because i cant clock for :banana::banana::banana::banana: :(..
I cant get to 270HT with this board even if i raise the volts to 1.50 on the nb and the CPU with a 5x multi.
What is HTT and HTR voltage control btw?

The problem should be in you/your mobo cause mine does about 350 HT/Bus Speed with around +0.1/0.15V.
Is there someone that have already tested the newly released bios F7A?
I'm going to test it now!Quote:

As for CPU IMC voltage control there still is no way of increasing it from BIOS.
Waiting for another BIOS (and loosing hope).
I just dont understand what could be so hard about fixing the NBv in bios. It can raised in software so its not broke. Why they would create yet another bios and still not fix this just blowes my mind :shrug:
Any stability issues? If there is no nb voltage control I'm not going to flash. I'll wait F7 final or F7b...Quote:

Overlay better feeling than F6, but I didn't do proper OCing yet.
Thanks for the info, for all that I'll try it. :)Quote:

I had my Ph2 710 running at 3600MHz with kingston ram but when i changed ram to corsair i could not get more then 3200MHz. :shrug:
no, I had no problems with the corsair ram. It sounds like your new ram might be defaulting to a diffrent divider. Might want to double check that.Quote:

Try to put mem in different slots.
i got F7b atm, HTT 2200, HT 277x13=3600MHz. 1.5Vcore on the cpu and 2.0V at 920MHz on the ram. I have reseted the Cmos before i put the new ram in and tried to start over from scratch but no luck there. Have the ram att 700MHz now but still cant get higher:shrug:
By the way, have anyone heard if Gigabyte is going to support IMC/L3 voltage in the next bios?
Hi Joki,
If thats the NB voltage then no. I sent them an email asking if they could put a negative voltage on the memory as my OCZ blades only need 1.8 volts but lowest
i can get is 1.95 volts and while they were looking into that if they could put a positive voltge range on the NB and they said they couldn't do either.
Damn. That's ashame. Looks like im going for another mobo :rolleyes:
Hi Joki,
Have you tried PhenomMsrTweaker by Kink it's somewhere in this section and it gives the option to increase NB voltage but i don't know if it works as i've not had time to play with it yet. You can check it against AMD Overdrive to see if the settings stick. If it works it saves buying a new Mobo.
Hi HeamothoraxUK, thanks for the tip. The settings seem to stick but does the setting stick in bios? Because it always freeze at post when i got to high nb or ram frequency.
Hi Joki,
To be honest i'm not exactly sure where and when the settings are applied but all the info and author of the program
can be found in this thread http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=220185
Hi guys!
I've been anxiously reading this ENTIRE thread and have finally jumped the gun and bought myself a 940be! :)
My current setup is as such
940BE@3.5ghz (stock voltage)
Gigabyte GA-MA790fx-DQ6 (270fsb)
2x2gb Corsair Dominators V2.2 @1160 5-5-5-15 2.1v
Powercolor 4890 1gb (880/1000 core/mem it's a non ref card and can't o/c it much! :()
Corsair 750w psu
2x36gb Raptors
Creative Audigy (SB0090)
Watercooling (Apogee GTZ, MCW60-4870, Random Radiator, 1/2" tubing, MCP-650 and a MCRES)
I currently am booting at the above fsb and haven't really been able to get much more FSB out of it.
When in windows i use the PhenomMSRtweaker to up the nbvid from 1.175 to 1.25 and am able to push to the 280fsb mark with a x9 multi.
i am getting the following bench scores in everest
mem read 10065
mem write 8404
mem copy 11285
mem lat 46.3
cpu queen 22057
cpu photoworx 25702
cpu zlib93894
cpu aes25293
fpu julia 9469
fpu mandel 6055
fpu sinjulia 3073
I haven't really done any other benches atm, but @ 3.7ghz,2.5ghz cpu-nb,1180mem i can get it stable, but heats up too much (idles at 42-43 even with a lowered set P-1state of 1.6ghz @ 1.05v and peaks at 53-55C under a 30 min OCCT test).
For any1 else that is wondering about the raid controllers, i've found the sb600 raid controller is slow as hell when it's loading windows, but once in windows loads fine. Guessing it's a driver issue or something.
The G-Sata raid is perfect though and can get 170mb/s transfers on it.
It's also a sinch to install win7 on it! :)
Also i'm running win7 :)
I'm interested, I had some problems with RAID (slow windows boot and choppy performance and bad rating of hdd in win7) and am now starting to think it could be because I'm using the standard sb600 sata for raid instead of G-sata, altho I've read somewhere that SB600 SATA is supposedly faster? :shrug:Quote:

Will a simple re-plug of the connectors do or will I lose the entire array and have to make it from scratch again? Since on my 500GB array, I got ~ 400GB of data and I dont got extra hdd's atm to back it all up.
I believe not as it's a different raid controller. Better to be safe than sorry!Quote:

Any1 know if gigabyte is gonna release a bios update with the voltage increase?
Surely there will be a new bios to support the 965... we can only hope that at the same time they add support for the nb-vid being able to be change at bios...... hmmm that would make things 10x easier! :D
Well i'm jumping ship as i'm over waiting for GBT to get a bios with nb-vid adjustments.
Bought a DFI-790FXB-M2RSH.
Hopefully should see some better o/c's on the nb side of things.
Thanks guys! :)
BIOS 7D released...

i see no changes, probably just a cpu id update.
