MA790X / MA790XT-UD4P 790X bugs fixes etc etc.....

Word. Will do the same when I get the chance.

Flashed to f6, no issues or performance increases on core or ram, but they "may" have fixed the NB multiplier. I have never been able to get this board to post above 2600 nb, now I'm a little over it at 2688.

New bios for Gigabyte GA-MA790x-UD4 in this site http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/M...3002#anchor_os
Version F4. I will test it later, if my Phenom II x2 550 Unlock's. Stepping later.

Hi guys,

this is my current rig:
GA-MA790XT-UD4P with latest bios from site (F5)
sapphire 4890 vapor-x
4 gb dd3-ram (kingston value) rated @ 1333mhz
X4 945 (3ghz, not BE so locked multi of 15)
corsair hx650 power supply

i have been out of the oc-realm for a while and have read up on it yesterday and i know the basics of phenom II oc'ing; last night i started with 3600mhz (stock 3000) and it ran stable for 8h (prime95 with 4 cores running) which is not bad as a start
these were the settings i used / changed from stock settings:

15x240 = 3600
9x NB = 2250
9x HT = 2250
PCIE = 100
memory at 3/8 (so running just a little below spec @ 1280)
ram @ 7-7-7-20-27-2T (auto)
NB voltage = +0,1 (1,2 total)
SB voltage = unchanged
CPU NB VID = +0,075 (1,2750) (not quite sure what this does though)
CPU voltage = +0,150 (1,4)
cpu temp in de gigabyte monitor were around 53° (case 42°) at full load
idle temps = 39 / 43

any remarks or advice? I want to get good overall and stable performance (not that into benchmarking), especially for gaming. How can i push this a little higher ? What settings are too high / low or don't really matter. I'm ultimately aiming at 4ghz if possible but will sacrifice some mhz for absolute stability and silence :-)

It's now running at all the same settings as above but with 15x250 = 3750 but according to my gf, it has stopped rather quickly ... see below for screenshot of those settings (when still at idle)


also, with this setup (3600mhz and 4890 running just a little above stock) i get around 18k 3Dmark06, does that sound about right?

thanks in advance for any help ! (last time i got help here, i got my E6600 up to 3600mhz stable on air :-))
