**Official DFI LanParty UT 790FX-M2R Review/Overclock/Guide Thread**

@ be: of course i get your point. answer is yes (in part)! i tested prime blend and prime large fft for 6-8hrs each, but only with bios-versions that are possibly corrupt with respect to what you have stated. and i'm definitely stable, but with relatively high vcore. very very stable, not only with prime or something, but with overall system in game. never had any crashes since i own this system under these settings, and i can tell, this is definitely a fact that i appreciate very much about this board!!! every other overclocked system i had before was more troublesome to get it stable than this one.

i do not use memtest, but goldmemory, and there as well i got a thorough test (~8h) run without errors at my current settings. but are these the best possible settings really? or something crippled by possibly corrupted bios?

i would say no if you tell me that with a corrupted bios i would not get a stable system whatsoever at whatever vcore

and i would probably say yes if it could be possible to get stable settings with a corrupted bios on higher voltages

in fact, i wondered from the first day why i can boot into bios at 1,2v and into win win at 1,25v but need 1,45v (all at 3,2ghz) to get it stable running prime..

if this is possibly a sign for some problem related to what we are discussing, then: do i need to do the procedure you described again or would a dual-flash to 03/12 do the job as well (given some time left at defaults and the proper cmos clear..)?

i just want to confirm i run my board the best possible way as i got it second hand with 01/30 already installed...

A 4600+ @3.2GHZ is very good actually and I can pretty much tell you that you have a really good overclock on that chip considering what model it is What you should do at this point is see about lowering voltage and getting it stable that means 8hrs Prime Blend is what I judge by but thats me. Remember too that the more Voltage you give the Ram the more Vcore AMD cpu's require and sometimes it also requires getting the Hardware just right and that means buying stuff and then buying different stuff to take you're Overclock higher. but 3200mhz on a 4600+ is really good considering I can only get 3,6ghz out of my 6400+ BE maybe 3.7ghz on water tops thats only 400mhz Higher then Default clocks so all and all you're overclocking headroom is actually quite better then mine

But I will be selling my 6400+ BE if you may be interested????
