Thanx mate, I'd still like to know if there's and app or program that can display more temps then Everest..?

I was hoping to do some bench comparisons from stock NB and higher. I feel kinda stuck now.

Why dont you just up it in the bios...?

That is where my trouble is. If i change it I have no POST. Regaurdless of other settings.

**keenan** · 02-28-2009, 04:33 PM

To overclock the NB you need to up the NB VID, not NB Core

By putting my NB VID to 1.45V I was able to get 2800Mhz

**charged3800z24** · 02-28-2009, 04:54 PM

I tried that as well. I even tried just 2200mhz I am running 1600mhz RAM tho, I might need to run auto on ram and try it, See if it works. Then i will up the RAM a lil at a time to see where it stops. 3dmark06 loves this board and CPU...of course my 2 4850's had something to do with it. This system just spanked my Phenom II 940 at the same settings, I had higher HT and NB tho 2600 both.

Remember, you need to set your voltage first, save and exit, then go back in and set your NB Multiplier...

Try adding +250 to the Cpu-Nb Vid Control, save and exit, then go back and set your NB to 2800Mhz

**suphiceto** · 02-28-2009, 05:43 PM

Guys, why 3dMark06 would give me a Direct 3d Vortex failed error ? not enough power may be?

**keenan** · 02-28-2009, 05:49 PM

What's your current settings..?

**suphiceto** · 02-28-2009, 05:59 PM

720 BE @ 3.5
NB @ 2200
Multi 17.5
4 gb Patriot Vipor @ 1600
evrything else is auto

My GPU is Asus x2 trifan
my cooling is Xigmatec hd

my PSU is 650 W antec

**keenan** · 02-28-2009, 06:07 PM

Add +0.1V to CPU Vid Control

**madfaze** · 02-28-2009, 07:56 PM

nice!!

**suphiceto** · 03-03-2009, 07:18 AM

Has anybody figured out how to run referance clock higher yet? I just cant increase the ref clock and maintain the stability.

I have been hitting a problem with my cpu, it looks like the 3rd core is failing on torture prime95 test, while the other two core are stable.

my current setting are

* Multiplier = 18.5
* Bus Speed = 200
* Motherboard = Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P
* Memory multi and timings =x8 on auto timings runing at 1600Mhz(Patriot vipor ddr3 1600)
* NB Frequency = 2.2Ghz
* HT Frequency = 2.6Ghz

Voltages
* Memory Voltage=1.7V ( memory is rated for 1.8)
* NB voltage control = +0.1V
* SB/HT volatge control = +0.1V
* NB/PCIe/PLL voltage control = +0.1V
* DDR VTT voltage control = Normal
* CPU VID control = +0.125V
* CPU voltage control = +0.175V . (I am on air with xigmatek hdt, and my core temps are below 43C under torture test)

Any inputs would be appriciated. I cant wait to see Chew* s review on this board.

**suphiceto** · 03-03-2009, 09:54 AM

I have increased the Cpu voltage to 1.525 and it seems to perform the torture test all the way. Please let me know if you think all these Voltages are safe for this chip and board.

Just wanted to say I am joining the club on Friday ( I hope as I just ordered).
This is my first Gigabyte since the one for my Tbird 1.4Ghz :-)

Congrats! it is a very nice board. I love the lay out and quality of it. Hopefulluy with some bios update it would get a lot better performance. Dont forget, you cant get in bios with usb keyboard, you need to update the bios. There is a bios update software included in the CD, I used that and worked great. Let us know how it performs for you!

**shaolin95** · 03-04-2009, 02:39 PM

Everything is on its way! If I am luck I could get them on Thursday since regular 3day shipping from newegg only takes two days to my place!
I have a trusty PS2 keyboard just for ocassions like this. :-)

I always keep a PS2 keybaord as well. I needed it when I got the board. I updated bios right away. I now wonder if the first bios had any benefits over the second release. Enjoy the setup, I enjoy mine more then my 940BE + Asus M3A79-T dlx.

chew* · 03-04-2009, 04:35 PM

Msi max's board is on the way to me, not sure how long I will have it in my posession so I will try to cram in as muct info,reports and testing as I can in a short amount of time....

M4a79 deluxe will be on hold until after as that board will be here a while....not enough hours in the day and days in the week....I will probably not put it under cold....and I probably will not push it as hard as I push my own stuff just out of respect, hope you guys can understand that.....

**msimax** · 03-04-2009, 05:23 PM

give it hell man, cause if the new bios works im sure to do it

**TheBlueChanell** · 03-04-2009, 07:37 PM

That's what I like to hear man.

I'm looking forward to it Chew cause your opinion is what's gonna be my deciding factor between the M4A79-T and the UD5P.

I have a 790X-UD4 board, and it's NB and PWM get so hot that I can't even keep my finger on them for a second.

**shaolin95** · 03-13-2009, 04:04 PM

For you guys running Windows 7 x64...are you just using Vista 64 drivers?

**keenan** · 03-13-2009, 08:34 PM

Yes mate, all drivers loaded are Vista 64

**shaolin95** · 03-16-2009, 10:27 AM

Can someone please post a screenshot of the BIOS screen showing all the voltages options ( all the way down) for a 720 please?
