[duron]

con anyone give me the bios setting to overclock 1055T with this mobo, i just bought this mobo but im noob for oc
please need guide

there are a few ways you u can try this
let us know how high you can go on the FSB @ default Voltage

[barong]

now im running at 240 fsb but why does the multi always come to 14 at full load , like when i try prime small ftt, why not 16,5???

[duron]

^ multi is locked & my guess it would changed only in turbo mode??? anyone???

[crazydiamond]

pretty sure prime loads more than 3 cores so it will run x6 w/ 14x240 - if you run a program that uses 3cores or less it will run the 3cores being used at 16.5x240

[barong]

anyone can give me the setting so i can run my 1055T higher than 250 fsb which one should i cange in bios with this mobo, help please

People on Newegg are giving the board such bad reviews. Alot of people saying they cant get it to post. As someone who had a trouble free experience with this board and as so loves the board. kind of disappointing

Newegg Asrock 890gx - Reviews

[Rol-Co]

Did you try it with cold Rol-Co?

Yes sir !!

[cezar]

Alot of people saying they cant get it to post.

Only two

[Valg]

Only two

I've got 6 of them, they all post...

PS - Any new BIOS? Need 1.53A or newer, please.

PS - My 555 @ 4GHz (dual core only), and 3.8 @ x4 (3rd core chrashes when over 3.8GHz, not lucky again).

Valg, onTOPtheROCK said "a lot of people" on the Newegg site are giving the board bad reviews. I said, only two - only two people

[onTOPtheROCK]

Alot, being a relative term. there are actually four reviews, one being the one i gave... and the other three saying they couldnt get a post. So 75% of the reviews. to me that is a lot... plus i like the board, would hate for people not to give it a chance because of others' misfortune.

[duron]

hmmmmm never had any problem from the start even till Bios updates, i guess they are having some compatibility issues of some sort or what they got needs some serious RMA

[barong]

what is
htt voltage and northbridgge voltage use for?
sorry noob question

[cezar]

there are actually four reviews, one being the one i gave...

This is correct

... and the other three saying they couldnt get a post.

This is not correct Yes, there are three 'other' reviews but they are given by two people That's why I said, 'only two'

[bldegle2]

it looks as if some of the negatory reviews are done by the same person.....so few reviews it is hard to really DRAW a conclusion.....I have used AsRock boards for many years, have two builds with the AsRock 939 Dual Sata II still up and running, keep upgrading the CPU's and mems, still running strong....using and AsRock 790 board right now, clocks and works as good as any DFI pain in the arse boards did.....

It is a good way to save some hard earned for those on a really tight budget, I can afford the more expensive, but why would I spend more for nothing other than some kind of E-penus braggin' rights on some righteous expensive OC'ing board that really doesn't perform any better in DAY to DAY usage...

I tried 1.10 1.20 and 1.51a but always have the same result.

If I enable UCC I get X4 from BIOS but XP can't complete boot, goving lock or BSOD.

The weird thing is that I try any core combination but it's always the same even if set to monocore with CORE0 only.

It works well with same settings and UCC disabled.

???
What should I try?

overclocked? or stock? , maybe something with the chip, with 1.20 bios i have no problems whatsoever with unlocking. don't think it has something to do with the bios version.

I am really confused .

UCC unlocks cores but then windows freezes, can't finish the startup.

BTW even disabling UCC, the "Active Core Control" option must be set to "All Cores" or I get the same behavior! There is no combination of cores that work, even if I put it to 1 core "core 0".

Why is this? What could I try? What voltages could I set to give it another try?

[onTOPtheROCK]

its a bug, you need to clear the cmos if you want to get your cpu back to two cores. atleast thats the easiest way. then once you get that try unlocking just three cores when you start. from the sound of it one or possibly even both of the disabled cores arent working.

but why can't I make it work with any combination of two or even one single core witth UCC enabled nor disabled?

It that core0 is defective and on default it's useing other two cores that I can't select in BIOS?

[onTOPtheROCK]

thats the bug, once you enable the UCC option and then try disabling it, even though it says it is disabled it still leaves the 4 cores unlocked. you can check this by after selecting how many cores, reboot and go into the bios again and see how many how many cores are listed on the first screen of the bios.

oh no, when I disable UCC it works fine as an X2, anyway I still have to set Active Core Control to "All cores", nothing else (1 core, core 0) work!

[onTOPtheROCK]

hmm, you said you have tried other bios versions?
