Without me having to scan sig lines...are any of you running 8 gig on this board with vista 64 bit?

If so, any issues with it, is it necessary (loaded question I know), did your timings have to slow down to get 8 to run smoothly?

I have the Mushkin Redline 8000 and was just 'thinking' of maybe getting another 2x2 set and was curious of possible issues or benefits I would gain.

Thanks

I can load up 6GB of 1066, but that is all I have. And it is Win XP 64

I know.. I was to cheap to buy one...My office has been pretty nice to me lately..free Phenom II, free PSU..I am still trying to get them to give me a Dual socket Shangai setup. I sound greety ... I just loaded Windows 7 and am doin drivers now. I am curios to see RAR and other stuff that was slower on vista then on XP.

Free Phenom II
AM2+ version 920 or 940 ?

Something is up..cause mine took a poop....

might have been ur nb biting the dust...
today i put my new waterblocks on the board (mosfets,nb and sb). when i removed the heatpipe assembly, i was like "hmm.. why did they put paste on the nb and only a thermalpad on the sb??". when i tried to clean the nb from the "paste" i realized that it wasn´t paste. there was also a thermalpad on the nb, but that thing melted away. it was hard to get off (using 94% ethyl alcohol) but it worked. i´m glad i got rid of that heatpipe thing before my board takes the same route as yours did.

When the replacement comes in, I am going to make sure everything is good..and cooled well. I want to push this chip hard. I am playing it safe on the MA790GP-DS4H right now.. 1.48 is as high as I have pushed the V's. abd right now it is all stock but the HT and NB, running comparisons for when NDA lifts...tho my results will be obsolete with Honda guy posting numbers etc..LOL

:o Is that an Eheim 1046 or 1048? How does it perform? I have a 1046 but too afraid to use it, didn't think it had enough head pressure for modern waterblocks, but if it can pump through an EK supreme and all those other blocks, it can pump throguh anything! What rad you using?

Sorry for OT...

Sorry for OT...

it´s an eheim hpps i.
a pump made for industrial purposes. pumps the water up to 3.1m high.
i´m using a 3x120mm rad. my water temps in the reservoir at idle are around 35°C with the fans blowing at 1200rpm. didn´t get to playing some cod5 yet to warm up the water. but i guess i´ll reach 50°C then. maybe it´s time for a rad upgrade

Still waiting for someone to confirm which bios is the best...its been 3 days since I post this question Since I just got the mobo 4-5 days ago I really dont have any idea on bios??

why don´t u just use the latest 0602? i don´t know if it´s the best, but it´s working good for me.

0403 was the most stable and the less buggiest one. my highest overclock was with the 0403 as well.

Because the one that came with it is modified, and i need an original to rma the board. Anyone happen to have one their willing to get rid of? Im pretty sure that this same heatpipe is used on a couple of different models, so it doesnt have to be exactly from a 79-t, seems like most of the m3as use the same heatpipe assembly.
