Any testing with high NB speed? I have this board at home, but never start it cause lack of cpu...Waiting 955...

[yaxo11]

almost same numbers for memory, strange or is this normal

Overclock your NB to 2.8Ghz and do the same test, then you'll see..

Hi, got my 720BE down to +0.025v @ 3.5Ghz. Tried the 2800NB (HT auto is 2600) but only gained 300 in 3D'06. Mild OC on 4870 gains me 1000 points (over 15K)
EasyTune (just used for monitoring) CPU temp matches TMPJN2 in AMD Overdrive (monitoring) and system temp matches TMPJN1. EasyTune still reports 720BE as AMD Sempron, Toliman, 65nm.
F4d bios.
F4d bios --> USB keyboard appears nonfunctional in bios but actually just very, very slow. ???

Edit: why is yaxo11's latency so high? mine is 17 something.

[bro20000]

Mine up 2 now been testing bit by bit each day! Fully stable cpu on normal volts just cpu NB +250 and MemVolts 1.7V[IMG][/IMG]

[PaganII]

Lost 500 3D'06 points with F4g bios. Going back to F4d.

Edit: HT default = 2600 with F4d
HT default = 2000 with F4g

[yaxo11]

does anyone have problem overclocking ram with this mobo
anyone tryed and tested final F4 bioss

[bro20000]

Have found F4G to be a bit better with memory but could be better! Have got 2ghz stick but i cant get them over 1680Mhz in bios! Before with F3 1645Mhz abit of a improvement i guess!

[bro20000]

New bios out F4 Here with new feature HT width which isnt in F4G! Plus it has ACC

I thought it was the old F4 but it different!

I saw that when looking today on GB's site. I won't be home till 6:30pm EST tonight. I was going to try it out. Has anyone used it yet?

[yaxo11]

with f3b bioss i unlocked 4th core, after that i tried other biosses and no success, now i went back to f3b and cant unlock it again, help


edit: i make it work again, you have to clear cmos, boot, shut down, remove cpu, boot, shut down, put cpu back, boot, go directly to acc and put it to auto

this is how it should look if succes

[bro20000]

Turn pc off and clear cmos normally works!

Its better on the memory but i cant seem to enable the 4th core thou! Pc does seem faster with this new f4 Bios thou!

[PaganII]

F3i or l I can't read it ha ha bios at Gig tw. 3-16-09

Edit: Added AMD C1E support (Software support default on)/ Many manual Memory options

[bro20000]

Thanx mate will try now! Hopefully i can boot up at 2000Mhz Mem!

[bro20000]

F3i Bios works fine i like the new memory options just hope it will give me a bigger mem clock Now!

[PaganII]

F3i bios
EasyTune no longer reports voltage or temp.
Red background color in Overdrive is gone and pci-e reads 108.3! Had to change bios setting from AUTO to 100. 2.8Ghz
Running @ 3.5 now.

[bro20000]

Have found this the best Bios for my memory up 2 now!

[IMG][/IMG]

[shaolin95]

So F3i is not unlocking the 4th core either?

[bro20000]

So F3i is not unlocking the 4th core either?

No luck yet mate but it is better in memory options thou!

[shaolin95]

Yeah but its killing me cause my 4th core OCes stable to 3.7 so I cant really just leave it off. If it was hurting my OC then I would disable it and use the new bios.

[PaganII]

Passed the 1.5hr L4D test @ 3.5Ghz ha ha. No sound problems.
I like it.
Only lost 500 3D'06 marks dropping from 4 cores (F3b) to 3 (F3i). Have not tried unlocking with this bios yet.

[msimax]
