this has got me wondering though, the SB750 had this added later yeah, to support and aid the phenom I's, in thier clock potential, but then this was dropped, under a year later and serves no purpose to further Phenoms II's?

seems a bit odd to to me, has anyone achieved a better clock from ACC with a Phenom II?

if not, why not? if yo know what i mean.

i think i fried this board anyway, needs an RMA
Sorry to hear, whats wrong with the board now?

I have the same exact setup the OP has. PhenomII X3 unlocked to X4 and Gigabyte GA-MA790GP UD4H. Disabled onboard video and using a 8400GS (rig is not for gaming, I just didn't want my system memory sucked up by the onboard GPU even though it has dedicated 128MB sideport mem). I had to set the First Display Init to PEG, then disable the onboard GPU. Works fine. Oh, Windows Vista 32.
Tried that actually - Booting up with the onboard, then setting first init to PEG, but thats a no go. Just beeps saying card could not be initialized.

I even noticed when I enable ACC while my BFG 8800 is attached, the system will power off (and i can't power it on simply, it will just shut off again until cmos is cleared).

So only way to enable ACC for me is to put the card out, enable, boot with integrated graphics - works fine then.

Thats a crazy incompatibility i think ...
