Wow. Lots of changes. Thanks for the post Riska!

[Smartidiot89]

1.5b7 looks very nice!

Can't wait for the official 1.5 bios so I can settle down for a minute and get to know it to much variety atm

(07) Added "OC Dial Function" new item, "OC Dial Recorder" item will keep or bypass OC Dial value after system reboot, "OC Dial Report Speed Select" item will control the detect shift value speed

finally they got it fixed, been a pain using the oc dial to max out the core and have a system reboot

Installed 1.5b7 and all is well. I haven't played with addl. OC yet but my board temps are fine, for some reason I ran warmer with 1.5b3-5. So I guess a good report is I notice nothing as of yet the way I am set, but that's a good thing, right. I Bios OC only, but I might have to set basic and see how the OC dial works now and to (for fun) try max FSB again. I never got a steady stable auto FSB/Max when I played with it.

That's me too. My rig is all installed and tucked away so it doesn't make much sense for me to use the OC dials on the board each time when that would require me to tear the case open each time and move it. Although I'm sure its an invaluable tool for those that run this board open and for serious benching/tweaking.

[Panther57]

I do not think the OC Dial way of Overclocking beats a BIos updates setting and adjustment availabilities. Same for AOD, MSI Overclock Program or Software OC programs in general. The OC Dial can be awesome for the 'I need a boost' for quick changes in demends and needs. Set you memory and voltages as suggested with the Dial, run near stock CPU Ghz and turn it up with the dial while running and as needed is good for users that prefer thier OC's that way, and mabie it's better than a 'Set" (ocassionaly modified) Bios OC becuase a set Bios OC is just that set and running 100% of the time overclocked. It can be confusing for some people because there are just so many options to overclock. AOD has never set or worked correctly for me... I need more info on how to use AOD if I were to try again but for those that get success out of AOD at least it is tied to the Bios and not just a software OC. And as overclocking is experimental looking for success I will but have not yet seen what I can get to with 1.5b7. For fun I will see if MAX/FSB will show me a real max FSB setting as an option to my Multlipier OC. Although I don't think I need to move FSB much for a good OC with the success of Multlipier increases.
What's the opinion out there... Multlipier or FSB Overclocks, which do you think is better? I ask with 'Unlocked" BE edition CPU's, locked I understand FSB as the way to OC. I think OC through Multlipier and only a slight FSB works better than a high FSB OC. Educate me... am I right? (Unlocked 'BE' CPU's only because locked ones need FSB)

[ScottyPimpin]

My Ultra X3 1000w PSU has a 4pin or 8pin 12v atx cable. When I got this motherboard it had a tiny piece of plastic covering the bottom half of the atx 12v port (top left of the board). Is there a difference between running the 4pin or the 8pin? I've been running the 8pin ever since i've had it, just curious.

[shadow_419]

Other than safety and efficiency of having more available wires for power delivery it's the same. I wouldn't overclock a 125w/140w cpu just using the 4pin 12v though.

[Panther57]

Yea, the plug is just a throw away. It's there so if you do not have an 8pin you know which section of the connector to use. Like Shadwon419 said you want 8pin power for a demanding OC. But if your running lower wattage CPU, you don't need the extra feeds as much, but still better. You have no signature filled out so we don't know your equipment, but a 1000w, give it the 8pin.

[ScottyPimpin]

sorry for not having the sig before. i do have the 125w cpu and i gave it the 8pin from the beginning because i figured it was necessary, otherwise why would it be there

but here's my problem with DDR3 set @ 1600 MHz CL8-8-8-24 Trc-33



check out timings! CPU-Z says same story

When I lower timings to CL8-7-7-24-33 everything is fine

[Soulman84]

hy guys I'm having some problems with this mainboard and my ram...first i though one stick was gone but i checked one single stick with memtest with a bootable cd and all 2 sticks are fine alone..but when i put them in dual channel here start the problems..can't passa 10 seconds of memtest, the pc just reboot after few seconds..and this at every speed/timing/voltage..i tried a lot of settings but the result is always the same..no stability on ram when 2 sticks are onboard..anyone have this same issue? the ram is ocz 1600mhz cas7-7-7-24 1,9v

[Panther57]

Soulman84: If this is a New Build it could be that you have non-compatiable memory for AMD. There has been quite a lot of people that over sighted the need for specific AMD tested memory. If I ntel memory is ised... What Model number sticks do you have? Are you installing in the "First two lanes closest to the CPU (Black ones)? Plus, although AMD CPU's can OC to 1600 memory in most cases, it has little to no real benefit for 1333 based AMD CPU's. Don't let that be a problem because they run fast on 1333 (or less). You can set your 1600's to 1333 like I did when I tested and learned. Specificaly I have seen several OCZ Memory AM3 topics, look up your model number (search) and see what others have done.
Hope that helps you.

[velozzity]

Not trying to redirect the tread but I have a p II 720 at 3.6ghz with nb/cpu at 2600mhz, ocz amd special 1600 @ 1333 6-6-5-23-28 1t, and the 790fx-gd70 mb. When setting my overclock I passed with flying colors, 36 hrs prime blend stable, 50 passes linX, and 5 hours prime blend + furmark (to test worst case gaming scenario) and memtest about 15 passes. Every thing ran fine until I starting using ventrilo to talk in game while playing cod4 online. I occasionly (like once every other day or so) have the sound freak out, it sounds like a cd skipping and then all sound is lost. In the event viewer I am given this message for application errors.

Faulting application AUDIODG.EXE, version 6.0.6001.18000, time stamp 0x47919c2a, faulting module RtkAPO64.dll, version 11.0.6000.101, time stamp 0x4a497c35, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x00000000000d2af3, process id 0x15c, application start time 0x01ca2f5294dccb02.

I have tried 3 different Realtek drivers, reinstalling ventrilo and cod4. Nothing seems to help. I went as far as lowering nb/cpu to 2400 (i had ran for a few months fine on another motherboard at approx. 3600cpu speed and 2400nb/cpu speed without issue. I am wondering does this sound like i have a defective sound chip (i have no other major issues, no blue screens, no freezing video or restarting games, no other apps have ever freaked out) or should i be pointing fingers at my overclock. Posted here because obviously alot of people reading this thread have same board as me and wanted to know if anyone has been having issues with onboard realtek sound.

Its your overclock my friend. Those are the exact symptoms mine will have when its not 100% stable for whatever reason.

Which BIOS are you using?

yes this is a new build....I'm using ocz3p16004gk and i have problems at any frequences, also 1333..when i test 1333mhz with memtest after few seconds the system reboot..i've tried to change slot for black ones to blue ones with no results..tried also to go 2T mode...

[velozzity]

I am using the official 1.4 bios flawlez, since im not into unlocking cores i have'nt been playing around with any of the "betas". As i type this I am trying out 3552 on cpu with 2436 for nb/cpu and memory at 1352 (6-6-5-23-28 1t). I had basically this same setup minus the ddr3 (was running ddr2 1066 at 1080) with same cpu but different motherboard so it would stand to reason that If i played other games for months and it is cpu overclock that is the limiting factor, than setting it back to a known and time tested overclock would suffice. I also ran memtest like 8 passes just to check out if increasing the memory speed 19mhz introduced any instability into the memory and no errors were found. Going to use it now and see what happens.

Hello i need some help i have had this board sinses April and it is great i took my 955 to 6.4ghz on Ln2 and 5.4ghz fully stable 3d benz..
But on daily basis i am on wicked good water and now i have got an 965 and no matter what i do i cant bench 4ghz+ i can bench vantage on air and water 4ghz with both my cpus but i cant go any higere than 4050mhz !!!

Can somebody please post pics of bios voltage settings with the cpu going 4ghz+
I have tryed all the bioses out there and i am using the 1.5B7 rigth now..

[VoodooProphetII]

Okay first of all I am using the 1.5B7 bios, and before that I've used the 1.3 bios. My system is:
Phenom II 955 (0915)
2 x 1GB OCZ PC16000 @ 800mhz 7 7 7 21 T1
MSI 790FX GD70
ZOTACK GTX295
OCZ PowerXtreme 850Watt PSU

Before the MSI board I was running an ASUS Crosshair III which worked pretty well for me, but 1 phase got damaged during normal use and the board killed my 965 which is why I'm now running a 955 with the MSI motherboard. Firstly I love the fact that this board's voltages are very stable and do not fluctuate as much as it does on the Crosshair III or the M4A79 Deluxe I had.

However, I’m sitting with the following problem. I was able to bench my 955 on the Crosshair III under cheap water cooling at 3.8Ghz CPU and 2.8Ghz NB, and to be honest, I was even able to run it with the stock cooler at these speeds. The vcore I’ve used was 1.3625V and it was stable even when running Wprime 1024. I have a screenshot on one of the treads showing this. I’ll try and find it. With the GD70 I just can’t do it. The highest I could run was 3.6Ghz and 2.8Ghz NB and even this is not 100% stable. Even if I increase the CPU vcore to 1.4V it is still not stable enough for benching.

Secondly I found that my processor is at least 10C hotter in this motherboard at idle and about 5C or more under full load. I’ve reseated the water block, tried another cooler but still the same or worse.

Maybe I am missing some settings somewhere. Any idea why or what might cause the extra heat, or the inability to clock higher.

[Bioshock]

this is another bad bios for me, ever since the first 1.5 beta came out ive been getting weird lockups during post right after the cpu is being initialized. every 1.5 beta does it, using stock settings or overclocked.
