How do you actually fully disable sideport?

[superpyton]

Advanced -> Internal Graphic Mode: UMA

[Peter Burg]

Why would you want to disable sideport? Oo

AND: Where is the VCore measure point? Does anyone know?

Changelog:
Test BIOS - Will keep the Vcore under stable value (with Thuban CPUs)

What does this mean?

[Leeghoofd]

that the vcore will stay put and not goup under load ?

let's hope so. maybe there's hope afterall and the vcore jump isn't necessarily hardcoded.

+1

I hope for damn sure if the 890GX does, that they eventually will get the 880G to stay put as well....

[biohead]

AOD still not working but atleast you can overclock cores seperately now. so it's going in the right direction.

ASRock 890FX Deluxe3 received “Great Value Award” from PureOverclock!!
ASRock 890FX Deluxe3 is a cost effective AM3 motherboard. The layout and design is quit good, the performance is excellent and the quality is also well done.

I agree completely.This bios 1.40 Has NO issues whatsoever.

[Leeghoofd]

Sorry but 290Ht and 1800Mhz max on 890FX is not good enough... ASrock needs to improve as it's almost the same price range as Asus' pro board. Maybe the reviewer needs some Chew* tips :p

880g 1.70 bios... 300 htt works now but running my 1600's at exactly 1600 (300*5.33) doesn't boot. 301*5.33 htt does boot, though 295-299 doesn't. and so 240*6.67=1600 doesn't boot either. (i think this may have been the case from the first bios but i didn't relate it to memory clocks, i was only thinking htt ref clock then). anyway i'm kinda forced to run 1333C6 it seems.

I haven't tried flashing to 1.7 yet, but I do have till Thursday off, so I will try and give it a go and let you know whats up with the ram...

[biohead]

cool and quiet still seems to kick in with volts below 1.4v (?) so i still have to force steady multies with k10stat in windows. not really a problem but i was getting clock interrupt BSODs out of nowhere even at 3500 mhz.

2.41C out.

[mrcmark]

grrrr. cant seem to get past 260 on the bus speed with this board.

[Ket]

I was thinking of getting the 890GX Extreme3, has anyone tried it with the 2.4 BIOS? I'd like to know max bus speed with that BIOS.

[Leeghoofd]

I did 328 here max stable for Wprime1024; X264HD and Cinebench... rams here cap out around 1880n though Rob has done over 1900ish...
