Exactly how much slower? Is this using the same RAM and Motherboard? If so, I would assume its due to more cache efficiency with the 720 being divided just 3 times instead of 4 with the 955.Quote:

From the screenies it looks like "T1", but the Gigabyte website only has "F1"...:confused:
The reason I'm asking is, mine with F3 is behaving stangely.
Normal v-core is listed as 0.975V and when I boot to windows the cores seem to run @ 800MHz...:confused:
Next AOD won't recognise the CPU as an AMD and won't start at all + the Gigabyte Easy Tune thingy won't start at all...
What gives?:confused:
the bios is reading the pstates wrongQuote:

I can't leak bios's nor would you want me to.......We managed to kill an MSI and cpu on an early bios ( under extreme conditions *LN2*) ...........I managed to kill 2 hd's on a couple bios's with gigabyte right after a flash.........Never got out of bios, never made it to windows.....and almost took out a 3rd ( brand new velociraptor )
I've been using an old version of K10 stat and 2.14 AOD all along......it works so I have no reason to change.....if its not broken don't fix it..
Stand easy, I retract my statement. The difference I was seeing was a little less than 1 second and looks to be due to the monitoring sw I'm running :rolleyes:Quote:

No go with whatever BIOS I try....
Could somebody be so nice as to post the default M.I.T. values for this CPU so I can take it from there? (MIT just says default=normal, not default=x.xxV...)
Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease...?? :help:
EDIT: I just noticed that Chew's T1 BIOS actually has the same release date as the official F3 release... :( I wonder if there is an F4 coming soon...
EDIT2: Here's the values so far. Please, correct them in case they're wrong.
CPU Clock Ratio: x16 (3200 MHz)
CPU Northbridge Freq.: x10 (2000 MHz)
CPU Freq.: 200 MHz
PCIe Clock: 100 MHz
HT Link Freq.: x10 (2000 MHz)
Memory settings skipped
DDR 2 Voltage: 1.8 V ??? (seeing that CCR VTT is 0.9V)
SB/HT Voltage: ??? (Available settings are: Normal, +0.1, +0.2, +0.3)
NB/PCIe/PLL Voltage: ??? (Available settings are: Normal, +0.1, +0.2, +0.3)
CPU PLL Voltage: 2.5V (as given by the BIOS)
DDR VTT: 0.9V (as given by the BIOS)
NB Voltage: 1.1V (as given by the BIOS)
CPU VID: 1.35V ??? (According to Chew's screenies, though CPUZ in some cases says 1.45V...?)
Nice... for people in the US that is ;)Quote:

Do you know whose fault is that? CPU or motherboard/BIOS?Quote:

Come to think of it I now remember I had the same problem......with the shipped bios........I am going to email gigabyte and have them remove a few unsafe things and get the T1 out........please be patient not sure how soon they will get back to me........
Thanks, mate! :)Quote:

Now I'm totally puzzled...
The BIOS says 0.975V, AOD says 0.975V, but the Black Box HW monitor and OCCP say 1.35V - and it actually IS 1.35V! :confused:
Right now I'm testing stability @ 3.2GHz and the "so called" 0.975V, and so far it's looking good with the core temperature at 45 degrees.
The problem is, AOD (version 3.0) isn't displaying nearly half of the needed options, so if I do any serious overclocking, I'll have to reboot every time... :shakes:
EDIT: Seems to be stable @3.6G with "1V" (1.375V according to OCCP). Temps are 49 degrees.
:up: ThanksQuote:

I dunno, best bet would be sending an email to gigabyte requesting this....Quote:

Case in point I needed a usable with dual slot vidcards 4X PCI X slot board...I purchased it ( MSI 790FX-GD70 ) even though it really isn't in my budget.
Dang I just ordered the 790x and I am worrying about how it is going to OC my sig rig.
Well try emailing them, worst they can say is no. Be happy to test it for you guys and help get it up to speed......Quote:

If the 790x board I ordered is a huge pos then I am going to get the 790fx version of it.
Sorry for the double post.
I tend to find the boards with less gimmicks, and less onboard stuff tend to cooperate better and get better results upon release......The more "crap" ( for lack of a better word ) that is onboard means more coding and the potential for more conflicts......
Would love to see a company put out a stripped 8 layer board with really well implemented and beefy PWM's but unfortunately it's a niche market......not realistic in terms of cost versus sales.
I think RD 580 reference was one of the few that fell into that category.
Well the 790x doesnt have any gimmiks IIRC. Its just a straight forward board. Hopefully it isnt a POS.
Random observation: Virtualization with Hyper-V is excellent with the Phenom II processors. I ran Cinebench R10 both native and on a virtualized OS running on top of Hyper-V Server 2008. The scores were identical.
mobo BIOS my chip did the same thing until BIOS1001 on my M4A78T-E and a later BIOS on my crosshair II both read pstates wrong and set the chip to 800mhz .975vQuote:
