    Its Biostar 790GX AM2 @ microcenter.

    Got a new Giga board here.
    On air, started bios....

    I use easy tune to go higher then K10 stat to find which core that weak/strong.


    Dumo try it with 4 gigs 4X1g

    Well, just got my 920 and stuck it in the Asrock 790gx board. right off I upped the voltage lowered HTlink and NB multi and set HT to 260 and its prime stable (1 hour now) right off the bat. havent tried higher yet but obviosly its not gonna be a problem. figured this is as good of place as any to show this

    Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
    As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.

    Rule 1A:
    Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.

    Rule 2:
    When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.

    Rule 2A:
    When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.

    Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!

    After im done playing with the 920 I may do that, this board is loaded with features for overclocking and overvolting the onboard 3300

    BTW, Dont know if its a bios problem but my thermal sensor is broke it reads 40deg at all times and in AOD it reads 0. everything in AOD is wacked tho, I cant even use it.
    everything is cool to the touch tho and I added ramsinks to the mosfets

    Yah the onboard limits NB frequency I can use. Will have to do till I can afford a new card.

    NB probably scale fine dumo with 4 sticks, at least on F2 bios. F3 and F3i dont like 4 sticks, and I get a tad higher stable as well on F2, Might want to try it.

    Not fm approved drivers thus not the Futuremark 3d06 WR thats the HW bot approved record, If I swap drivers its a wrap. Do a compare. My hardware is capable of more / higher clocked. I'm just going to stomp the overall WR with hardware, Not a big fan of driver "tweaks".

    A little birdie told me the board is capable of a 4k score

    Please note that this result has been produced using display drivers which have not been validated or approved by Futuremark and will not be visible on default result search on the ORB or on the Hall of Fame.

    Did I mention I have reserves?

    Maybe it does more, but AOD doesn't allow over 1000 ( clock limit ) and bios refuses to boot over 1000 and at the temps I'm running (32C load) it starts to artifact around 990.

    Well it look like I'm flying solo, Enjoy can't make it.

    Just finished insulating, getting ready to go pick up DI.

    Probably my best insulation on a board yet and my batteries are dead in my camera, Recharging them now.

    I'm probably not going to run my 4870 in it just yet, want to get a feel for the board/chip cold first, will probably 3d the IGP, runs some cinebench albeit only ddrII 800, PI, everest, max cpu-z etc etc.

    Anything You would like to see LMK now so I can DL it.
