@Zeus: Enable and disable Turbo Core from AMD Overdrive utility. I have no Bulldozer yet, but I've read that's the solution.

My fx8120 is still unable to play any steamworks games despite a steam client patch today and reboots at every attempted launch. Despite it being experienced by multiple people on more than one motherboard type there's no answers anywhere from Valve, Microsoft, motherboard vendors or AMD. I don't mind waiting for patch but there still isn't even an answer as to if it can be patched or if AMD has shipped defective CPUs. Are they going to address the issue or should I just RMA it?

Yes, most probably will get one soon. I saw in the other thread you got it sorted, seems like good chip .
Did you try how the combination CHIV + FX chip clocks Hypers?
I remember the same situation with C'n'Q and Turbo when I first got 1090T and M4A89GTD Pro/USB3. There was no CHIV yet, I was kinda the guinea pig in Bulgaria
C'n'Q was disabled in bios, but in fact it was still active. I guess we need to wait for the next bios version for this problem be sorted.

Yeah, let's hope a new bios will be free of all these quirks. I have been running the Hypers exclusively as i don't have any onther ram (yet).
Haven't overclocked the Hypers with this combo yet, i was just exploring this cpu but the kids are constantly asking for attention so i couldn't spend to much time with it. It will leave something for the coming winter, then i will have enough time to do some intensive testing. This buggy bios isn't helping much either.
The cpu seems quite a voltage lover but it's clocking nicely even though there's not many bulldozer chips around yet to compare. Maybe 5GHz is the standard for these chips, i don't know.
Looking forward to your results with one of these chips.

Cool thanks for the new bios.
Though it's a 3xxx ver and not a 2xxx ver, not meant for my cpu.
When is there gonna be a centralized bios for all cpu's ?
Some of those 3x ver's, all of them I think, cut off support for setting the mem interleaving setting.
Slows it down a few 100 meg's in mem bandwith because it's missing the best value for the setting...
Prob with the 2x ver's is that ecc doesn't work for the cpu at all, in the 3x ver's it's working...
Yeah I know...
I'm wishing it had the old set of options for bank interleaving.
Instead of auto I want the "address bits 12" setting.
Don't wanna upgrade the bios to the 3x ver and lose a good chunk of bandwith .
I'de make the switch to the 3x ver's IF they had that 1 value, performance should be close enough afterwards.
It really does seem like it's the main slowdown there to me.
Perhaps there's a bit more to it, but I honestly think that's most of it.
Bulldozer support on M4A series (use only for Bulldozer CPUs).

Thanks raja, I'm really glad you guys didn't go back on your word to support BD on these boards, I would have been upset but now instead I'm very satisfied It's a main reason I bought my M4A89TD vs other boards back in June.
i have the m4a89gtd. The bios's core activation feature only shows 6 cores for me to activate. but windows 7's task manager shows 8. which one should i trust?

Is there any ETA for a crosshair IV bios that can play steam games without BSOD? Some 990fx users seem to have gotten around the bug with older bios versions but this isn't possible on 890fx.
I've got an FX-8120 here in this M4A89TD pro/usb3.0.
On this 3027 bios.
cpu-z reads it as and ES and so does core temp
It seem to be throttle when on stock multiplier but not when I set it my self.
not sure if my temperatures are to blame, though.
No word for 790FX/SB750...i guess it is not simple or can't be done at all ? (i can't remember the socket compatibility direction)
