Gigabyte MA790FX DQ6

----> OVERCLOCKING <----

If anyone is interested I've did quick NB/volt scaling test.

- 1.175V good up to 2.35GHz
- 1.225V good up to 2.5GHz
- 1.25V good up to 2.65GHz
- 1.275V good up to 2.7GHz
- 1.335V good up to 2.8GHz
- 1.4V good up to 2.94GHz for now ....




All tests done using 11x multi for NB because 12x multi is no boot for me. I wonder when Gigabyte will add positive voltage adjustement for NB in their BIOS. It's retarded to have 20x NB multi and no option to increase NBvCore

Quick comparison of memory subsystem using mBench (settings as on the screen above):

Access latency 45.7 ns

Read datarate (INT) 6737 Mb/s
Write datarate (INT) 4363 Mb/s

Read datarate (MMX) 8453 Mb/s
Write datarate (MMX) 4894 Mb/s

Read datarate (SSE) 8622 Mb/s
Write datarate (SSE) 8876 Mb/s

You can compare scores to ones from my previous posts. Difference is massive!!

On the other hand vCore regulation is PERFECT! This should be brilliant board to do LN2 or LHe testing. Max. vCore possible is 2.05V!! To get that high just set +0.500V in BIOS and then use AOD to add another 0.200V! Because board has 8+2 PWM design and is using 8Pin EATX power connector to feed it, going over 300W shouldn't be a problem
