Biostar TA890FXE fantastic 890FX Chipset

[Mad222]

Nah...it only happened to one of the suppliers
Rumor...the new 6 cores were made exclusive to one local supplier this time. They only released around 20pcs of 1090T for the whole market a few weeks ago

Hope they've got enough supply to feed the hungrey market

For 960T, I dun think it'll be available til mid or end of June

& yes HK where usually new stuff comes out first is left in the dark this time with the 960T & X6 core CPU's
i guess their being punished for selling them too early before the NDA was lifted

[duron]

^ thanks for the info Mad222
...& so the waiting game continues

[Ronaldinho_07]

this mobo runs ddr3 @ 2000mhz,doesn't it ? such as Gskill flare .?

[namegt]

The hard DDR3 2000MHz

For memory performance, but they will try to improve.

Hows the BCLK overclock on this board for 1055T overclocking?

[DedEmbryonicCe1]

There is no BCLK (or FSB) in AMD systems... I assume you mean the HT reference clock?

I don't have a 1055T myself (preferring the Black Editions) but here's an example:
http://www.rebelshavenforum.com/sis-...735;p=7#000103

It appears to be one of the many motherboards that let you select the Turbo multiplier of 16.5x for the 1055T.

[panzerchaos47]

Wow that's even better. Extra multipliers will help.

Reason for the 1055T
I got the 1055T with TA890FXE for 250 USD from Fry's 25th anniversary sale. I don't have the ram currently so I couldn't test it out. I been testing this on TA790GXE 128M highest it can go is around 280 but I avoid beyond 4 GHz because it will cause motherboard to shutdown (I'm guessing the hot mosfets because CPU is running cool)

[SubZero.it]

Extremely nice :O

I wonder how 890FXE would clock Gskill Eco at 6-7-6? is it same as flare huh?

[Jarek_135]

I cant download manual from the Biostar website.
How big is the step for changing Vcore, Vmem, Vcpu-nb, Vht, and how high can I set this voltage?

[over@locker886]

Cross Hair is a very good board.
I got the board
This is very good overclocking memory

Nice

[BeepBeep2]

AMAZING results and...you like my backrounds don't you

This is the thread for discussing AM3/DDR3 for AMD systems:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...234689&page=19
Why do you think Eco is the same as Flares? Judging by that thread the Eco's don't clock as high as Flares and voltage doesn't help them much (they are low voltage anyway).

In the CPU/NB FID/VID section of the BIOS:
CPU/NB both go from 0.0000v to 1.5500v in 0.0125v increments.

In the "Overvoltage" section there are additional overvoltage adjustments that compound with the CPU/NB VID you've already set and here is where you see the memory, chipset, SB and HT. You can use both the CPU/NB VID and the overvoltage if you need to go over 1.55v for those.
CPU adjustment is from +0.05v to +1.45v in 0.05v increments. For the CPU-NB the adjustment here is +0.05v to +0.2v in 0.05v increments.

Memory has different increments for undervolting and overvolting. Undervolting goes from -0.4v to -0.05v in 0.05v increments. Overvolting goes from +0.01v to +0.63v in 0.01v increments.

The NB(chipset), SB, and HT adjustments only go upwards, in increments of 0.01v. The "NB" & SB max at +0.4v while the HT maxes at +0.3v.

To see what differences you notice with this new bios. I hope to try it these days

[namegt]

New bios ... Thank you.
Enhanced OC ... Good news.

Let's check the advanced OC.

[luf1c3r]

I look forward to new results NameGT.

How did he manage to do 16.5 on the 1055T with TA890FXE? I can't find any settings in BIOS. Same with NB to get higher than 2 GHz without using HT RCLK.

Turbo multipliers.

[panzerchaos47]

I did enable turbo a while ago. It wouldn't show 16.5 on CPU-Z under prime95 load on single thread and set Affinity to CPU 0. I check 0 - 5 cores on CPU-Z remains at 14.

[BeepBeep2]

I tihnk he has turbo disabled. Some BIOSes let you use turbo multipliers like a normal multiplier.

[panzerchaos47]

I have no clue what I'm doing wrong. I had same BIOS and started using newer 506 then 601 that was posted today.

Bios 0601
890FXE weak memory OC
Who can do to reach 1800MHz memory?

[slaveondope]

They need to allow looser timings on WR, WTR, and RTP.
Same problem I have with my Biostar TA785G3.
Tell them to do it GT
Anyone know how to make their own bios settings

Memory performance, and the clock
I always have them, and feedback.
cpu clock is very good, but the memory clock dissatisfied
