Dude, with all due respect. I am only looking for a simple answer

You look for NB clocking, I look for 4th core unlocking. There's no need to educate me on your interests.

Anyone else can verify 4th core unlocking with this MSI mobo?

Early Beta BIOS, yes, latest Beta BIOS, no.

Very nice so far. My G65 arrived yesterday and I'm having a blast with it

Well i stand corrected then and am sorry, I would think most users would not sacrifice NB clocking for an extra core that may or may not work.

No worries

I have a working 4 core X3 thats stable overclocked. But would love to move up from my souped up Biostar (AM2+) to this Mobo (AM3)... will keep my eyes peeled for modded bios.

This board is shaping up nicely with some bios work

Can you care to comment on how hot the DrMOS PWM section runs under load, and any vdroop on the board? Are you able to clock a Phenom II on the same speeds using less voltage than usual on asus/giga boards?

**msimax** · 03-18-2009, 03:59 AM

but in win windows i hit 1872 so i know its a bios hole

**Miwo** · 03-18-2009, 06:07 AM

**msimax** · 03-18-2009, 07:26 AM

The new 1.1 official is based on the 1.11 beta, 1.12 beta is out, and should have 1.15 beta shortly to address memory clocking and auto recovery routines for failed clocks. Hopefully some DQS tables will get updated also.

You're welcome.

So, is this MSI better than ASUS M4A79T Deluxe? What is your own opinion and feelings about this board?

**msimax** · 03-18-2009, 08:24 AM

ok first
this seems to be a ram clocking wall cause as u can see memory is stable now i drop the divider more htt
