msi 790 fx-gd70 thread

[Bioshock]

if I get it right, you get FF on all settings including auto. Have you tried raising cpu/cpu-nb vid?

ive even tried it on all stock settings with the voltages raised

Beyond what beta said above, have you confirmed that your CPU is indeed unlockable in another board, Bioshock? Its possible that your specific CPU isn't unlockable.

yes i have unlocked it on a gigabyte board




heres some screens of my bios settings, id actually like some help regarding overclocking more than unlocking the 4th core because it seems like msis bios is too buggy for now to even bother with it

but id like to get my system to push out each ounce of performance as possible

NOTICE: i do have the multiplier dropped one notch to run at 3618 right now, i usually keep it at 3718 but it seems my cpu voltage is a bit high compared to what other people report settings theres to to achieve the same overclock

so what can i tweak to get this thing running at its max, one thing is my ram, this crap WONT overclock beyond 1608. its 1600 stock btw ocz flex ex series 7-6-6-24 timings

heres a pic and link to the modules on ocz website:

you will notice in my voltages pic below i have the ram running @ 1.85 volts, itll do 1600 at 1.8v too, but i just keep it at 1.85, but even at 1.95 it wont overclock and be stable above 1608..................the blue screens im getting im almost positive are related to my ram overheating. these things get so hot you cant even touch them for a split second while playing games or benching and ill just get random blue screens ...and it only happens during gaming or benching. but my cpu is prime stable on cpu only tests even at 3718 with the settings you see in the bios pics below. but id like to figure out how to run this thing with lower voltages to the cpu,, possibly by raising the cpu-pll or other settings im not too in touch with at the moment. so some help form you guys would be much appreciated.

720be cpu btw










edit: i forgot to mention, regarding ACC.............even with EC set to normal, if i enable ACC i get FF on boot. i know this is a bug in the bios because the early revisions (specifically 1.3 final i recall) didnt do that
