Still the 1.0 BIOS or is it updated already?
Well, I'll say this...the best mobo I ever had was an NF4 MSI board. I'm thinking of buiding another computer with this board as well. the downside is I don't remember bios updates being that plentiful, but at the same time you have a company like gigabyte that just churns them out like candy but usually there's alwasy some little nuance broken, requiring the bios update in the first place. You'll hear alot of people badmouth MSI's quality, though not sure where that comes from. They're one of the best imo.
p.s. Atleast on Newegg, there's only 3 AM3 790FX boards, and the Asus is $20 more than the MSI/Gigabyte boards. So not sure where you're egtting "the most expensive AM3 board" from?
Mine is on the way from the egg with a 720 and a 4890. I'm sooo frikin stoked! I hope my new parts get here before friday. (crossed fingers and toes)
I've got one coming as well, along with a 955 and 2x2GB Hyper-X DDR1600.
Took about 5 hours but I have everything up and running. I grabbed these OCZ rams - 4GB (2x2048MB)D/C PN - OCZ3P20004GK.

I'm having a hell of a time trying to figure out how to get it configured properly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
having strange issue.
I tried to increase NB clock from 2 GHz to 2.2 by raising multiplier but not increasing voltage and board refused to boot, even after touching voltages.
Could that be a bios bug? Running bios version 1.2.
Is Patriot PVS34G1600LLKN a good RAM to go with the GD70 ?
I am think of this (2x2G) Patriot or (3x2G) Corsair Dominator TR3X3G1600C8D.
The Patriot is CL7 but the Dominator is CL8 and the Cominator comes with 3x2G only.
I got 4x2 GB PVS34G2000LLKN and they work fine in the GD70.
I run them at 1600 speed with 7-7-7-24 t2 timing.
Dont know about the PVS34G1600LLKN but i guess they work too.
xPliziT, I'm having a similar issue. If I change the CPU multiplier at all it won't boot. For example, changing it from "auto" to "14", which shouldnt even change the clock, it will not boot. I'm not sure what can be done about that so I've just been playing with the FSB speed for the time being.
well this sounds like a bios bug since i can raise the multiplier in windows with no problems.
Good call xPliziT, I hadn't thought to try that. Adjusting the multipliers in AOD works for me as well.
I'm not sure if this is the best place for this, but I noticed xPliziT also had an Areca raid controller and a similar problem I am having. So I decided to experiment and found that if I remove the raid controller I can adjust all the multipliers, and before Changing any of them from auto, even to default setting, would cause it to not POST. So it seems like the raid controller has something to do with it that I can't figure out. Since it was somewhat expensive and all my games are on there, I can just clock it from AOD.
Just picked one of these up, will get to it in the next few days or so ;)
Just picked one up myself. I couldn't resist the open box price newegg had.Quote:

Getting prepped, sorry about the mess this is bench area #2, trying to get twice the work done with 2 rigs going at the same time........
Will swap to 1200 PC P&C as we add more cards 750w PC P&C can handle 2 just fine though ;)
