msi 790 fx-gd70 thread

[chew*]

The 1.3B7 beta bios is also available on the German MSI forums: http://forum-de.msi.com/index.php?pa...417#post701417

Tony: is the struggle for 900MHz memory OCZ-related (well, combo of MSI and OCZ) or AM3 design in general? I've been testing the GD70 with several OCZ kits as well and have the exact same issues: 850 is alright, but whenever I try to get near 900MHz, I fail. It seems that neither timings nor voltage really helps increasing the maximum memory frequency, so I'm leaning towards an am3 design issue rather than board-related.

However, there are definitly people hitting over 900MHz:

Its not OCZ.....

ES chips

Ask them to do it on retail chips with publicly available bios's.

We pulled 1800+ on samsung IC's with an ES chip. I could never tune the sticks in @ 1800 when I swappped to public bios and 955.....best i've done is 856 on retail so far...so 1700+ can be done.....

I think part of it has to due with the ES chips not having 100% bios support, on the same token I noticed ram performance is a tad sloppy with them compared to retail.....I can't clock ram higher but get better results lower on retails.........

I still have my ES chip if you would like a comparision but I already confirmed it.
