Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P Thread

I got my new Giabyte board a couple of days ago, sadly I have no CPU yet and no one has AM3 Cpu´s in stock in Sweden yet. So only pictures for now.

Layout looks nice and clean, dual slot spacing between Pci-e slots.

Same strong PWM as Gigabyte 790FX-DQ6

Hard to get a good photo here, but it´s an Clea CMOS switch!

Again I don´t know how to use Photoshop, so photos is a bit "raw".
Photos taken with Canon IXUS 980 IS.

nice mine should be here later also

790X vs 790FX, what do you think? (UD4P vs UD5P)
If I'm aiming at hitting the highest NB freq I can to make better use of DDR3. 2x16 Crossfire doesnt matter here

The board looks quite good, but havnt ordered yet because nobody has the new chips in stock

If the IMC's are the same DDR3 or DDR2 sderiously wont have any effect on your NB.

One of the nice things about this AM3 setup is that the DDR3 bus is fully independent of the CPU bus. Set your DDR3 bus to whatever you want and forget about it. Scale you CPU bus all you want and your RAM stays right where you set it.

i need confirmation on this. if this is true:woot:

My UD5P should arrive tomorrow or the day after, same with my G.Skill DDR3-1600. The soonest I think I can get my CPU is thursday from shopblt.com, they show in stock on wednesday.

Holy moly... confirmation anyone?

in news section in the AM3 reviews theres a guy who wrote a review go ask him

normally I wouldn't care for baby blue but I think this board is sexxxxxi

Truly a pity the 940 BE and 920 don't can't work in AM3 boards.

Would have increased AMD marketshare abit.

Especially since I already have both those chips. I need to get this GAS (gear acquisition syndrome) checked out.

Tell me about it, I've yet to even start OC'ing my 940 and I already want an AM3 setup :(

I think that it's not true. Check this. It can't be true becuse the reference clock is the source of the CPU, NB, HT, and RAM clocks. So if you raise the referece clock all of these will raise with it lineary.

By the way where is you mobo? :D

I'd guess thats the "Gigabyte Sata2" chip responsible for the additional sata connectors. Iirc its a Jmicron chip.

Sounds like Im not alone with this:p:

Hell, if I had loads of money and no parents which whine now and then I prolly would need a 2nd home to store all my crap:eek:

Just spend a load on watercooling and a 1250W PSU, so for a while Ill stay quiet:p: How long that while may last, I dont know:shrug:

If its the Gigabyte SATA2 under that cooler its 2 JMicron322 chips.

Great! :clap:

Could you please tell me the exact distance between the memory slot and the retention bracket?

Thanks in advance. :)

Bios shots

http://members.cox.net/chewxs/790fxddr3bios

http://members.cox.net/chewxs/790fxddr3bios2

they need a new bios with more timing controls thats for amateurs

yah well according to those bios options ctrl + F1 has not been tabbed, More options show up in bios for memory when you do that on the GX board..

ok i hope so i was looking in the manual and it showed these bios shots. but they do have another bios release so anything possible

On a side note I now know how to get the HT up on my board.....they omit the fact that SB volts are tied into HT.....
