Could nVidia have gone a bit too tight with their metal layers and have now discovered it so this is to minimise the risk to them?

Would also be an easy bogey-man to blame in the future; 'well...

Completely agree with all of this.

Even looking at the cooling on the VRM shows it wasn't designed for the high current draw of FX. Coupled with the lack of LLC (bad design decision) on V1.0...

My GA-990FXA-UD3 has just blown some VRM and taken out my 8120. It might have been the other way round but based on how hot the VRM were getting i doubt it.

I've managed to see a Crosshair V and a...

One of my mates had this problem on an A8N32-SLi motherboard....random BSOD at stock even after swapping out components for known good ones.

Through a process of elimination, turning 'things' off...

Of course it wasn't big enough.....otherwise people wouldn't be arguing about how it was too low a sample number to be representative. Have you read and understood what people have been writing all...

Isn't this EXACTLY the point AMD are trying to demonstrate to people?

Yeah, XYZ benchmark shows a +1,000,000 CPU score better but the CPU can't do anything with it. Looks to me like they are...

I have tried combinations of just the first and then both of these hotfixes and found them to do absolutely nothing at all.

If BD requires cores shutting down to allow others to turbo up then...

That's exactly my position with my FX8120. Have gone right back to F6c since each new bios version since. v1.0 as well.



I found that memory wasn't stable until F6c and was affecting my...

Not sure how the Sabertooth displays CPU voltage but my 990FXA-UD3 shows the turbo voltage as CPU VID until turbo is turned off and then reboot back into bios shows actual stock CPU VID. I also get...

I saw a review where the reviewer had an FX (retail) that had 24M of cache rather than 16M. Could another 8M of L3 be those missing transistors? I wouldn't know so just asking the question.

Could...

I have had one of these since they came out and have been through every emotion possible with it.

Now that there are new beta bios floating about i can say it's maturing into the board it always...

If you are using the MB in your sig then what you've done wrong is the same thing i have.....buy the 990FXA-UD3. I'm hoping that it gets a better bios soon it is really bad.

The memory timings are...

Thanks for the replies dinos22 and sin0822.

I've pretty much given up on unlocking Phenom (as i'm definitley getting an FX of some description) on this board and was more wondering about the FX...

Thank god work is being done on memory compatibility.....right now it is SHOCKING.

890GPA-UD3H with Athlon x2 5200+ and F3-12800CL7D-8GBXH ram gave 3.95GHz on unlocked cpu (became x4 with L3...

Ok, bit of an update here of my testing with UD3 over the last couple of days.

F3g beta bios didn't make a difference to me.....couldn't overclock well at all and bios definitely feels buggy. F3...

When i got my board i went straight to F3f and then onto F3g so i can't comment on the changes to F3b.

I don't see anything different between F3f and F3g with both having some sort of HTT wall at...

Here you go mate : http://www.overclock.net/amd-motherboards/1023100-official-gigabyte-ga-990fxa-series-owners-66.html#post14400432

.......and it looks like it does.

This is definitely looking a bit odd (better?).

While looking for an '890' board to tide me over until bulldozer, i was checking out the Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H.

On the product page for this...

My NB hits a wall at 2400 on a JR 790GX-M2RS with 720BE. Won't go above this at all with multi or HTT increase.

My RMA was sweet and i'm in UK too.

Got the board from Scan and since i live 20mins from their store just went to their returns desk. Couldn't have been any easier.

Now the RMA i had to do with...

@drunkenmaster,

I'd return that board for another one mate.

I spent 6 weeks wrestling with a LP JR 790GX - not recognisisng drives in any configuration, legacy, native, raid, on the ide...

Guys, anyone using a 6400+ on this board?

I've just swapped out my POS K9A Plat for this and no matter what bios i try the highest multiplier reported is 15.5x.

Anyone else had this?
