msi 790 fx-gd70 thread

tweaking the imc doesn't help, i always get the same error immediately after starting blend. I tried to give the ram more volts (1.80v->1.95v) and it seems to stabilize blend for a few more seconds.

if instant fail in blend test, most likely due to nb/ram freq too high. may i know which version is ya dhx? i have d same model & d revision is 3.2, which according to corsair forum is using micron ic. d9kpt/v perhaps.

highest so far is 7-7-7-24 @ 1620, vdimm @ 1.85v...

i have rev 1.8 set with qimonda ics, running 7-7-7-24-28 1600 @ 1.80v.

nb freq was near stock.. before this newest beta i wasnt even able to post @ 1800, and now it's booting straight into windows at stock volts..

wow... i'm kinda impressed with ya ram coz from what i know qimonda doesn't really like tight timing & u managed a 1600 @ cas7 w/ stock volt... superb...

used to own a pair of kvr running on qimonda ic, was able to reach 1650 @ cas9...

r u able to memtest stable @ 1800?

I haven't tried a longer run yet, only ran memtest for a couple of minutes before I booted up windows and it seemed rock solid @ cl8. I will try again later.

qimonda = infineon I think this is more about binning, than the brand of the ic.

[beta]

after tweaking the ram some more it seems cl7 1800 is the most stable. cl8 / cl9 is instant fail in blend, auto settings (9-10-10) wont even let me into windows. @ cl7 blend errors on only one core, and only after the second test.

Thanks for the post moorhen2! One thing is for sure, MSI has been very good about updating the BIOS frequently on this board.

[Riska]

Most cpu's have thermal protection,once they reach a certain temp they will shut down, BSOD,well thats what i am lead to believe.

[crazydiamond]

it is in the bios under the hardware monitor

what bios? i am on 1.7 from the site & only options there are "chassis intrusion", "cpu smart fan target", "sys fan 1 control",... through "sys fan 4 control"

[Panther57]

Has anyone updated to MS4256... USB 3.0, Sata 6G..
