Gigabyte MA790FX DQ6

[Lightman]

Hi Lightman & BadNizze,

Stumbled onto XtremeSystems googling the MA790FX-DQ6.

I've just gotten myself one but have found some weird issues and would like to ask if you experience them to determine if its a BIOS or hardware issue?

I'm not able to use CPU-Z to identify the 2nd memory slot when running in dual channel mode. (e.g. memory in slot 2 or slot 4 when running in dual channel), This issue was not found with BIOS version F1.

Running Sisoft Sandra Lite, Speedfan and sometimes AMD Overdrive will cause the system to hang, both current available BIOS versions replicate this issue.

Other than those 2 "bug" this board runs 3dmark fine and I was able to do all my usual tasks on it stable (E.g. Played Team fortress on stock settings for 3 hours straight)

Haven't tried to meddle with any settings yet due to the system crashing

For me CPU-Z is identifying things correctly!

AMD Overdrive on the other hand is, lets say, problematic....

UPDATE



Again it is stable!

I also tried 450HTT from BIOS but with multi 7x and it didn't worked, but this might be problem with setting 7x or lower multi on this mobo. I tested 6x multi and it resulted in 10x multi .... are Gigabyte programmers smoking something ???
