You know TBH, I havent even tried

I'm loosen the timings and give it a go in a few.

BTW have you tried a x14multi on the NB yet?

keep us posted. I have tried a 14x just now

Attempting a BIOS flash...
Wish me luck.. ;-\

Alright guys, I need ideas for a new motherboard. I would have wanted to wait for more AM3 boards but this one is really start to grate on me.

If I go AM3 right now I'll get the Gigabyte MA790FXT-UD5P, but that's rather expensive atm (£160).

I've considered the Foxconn AD7A-S which means I can keep my DDR2 and I've had good luck with Foxconn in the past.

Any other ideas? I'm open to any chipsets, be them nvidia or AMD, but it must be full ATX.

Suggestions? Please?

Flyordie · Mar 17, 2009

Foxconn has treated me nicely in the past as well...
If its got AWARD BIOS then go for it. I would avoid AMI like the plague though. ;-)

i heard the foxconns have a lot of DOA. I had a bad experience with one.

i got the DFI 790GX, loving it right now, would you consider it?

I just got me a Phenom II today. Im running the i7 at 3.3 Ghz and the Phenom II at default. i7 still feels a bit more crisp around W7, than the Phenom II does on XP. However no real difference though. Phenom II feels good so far. However, while most people on Phenom II's have trouble hitting that 4GHz mark stable, I can just load up my settings in the BIOS and game at 4.2-4.3 GHz stable, HT on. Give credit to intel for that one.

Thats why I say AM3 is looking good. They are reaching 4GHz stable at 1.45v which for AMD is not a lot of voltage.

but you also must strap a refrigerator to the I7 to keep it cool , unlike the Phenom II which the stock heat sink can actually cool fairly well. Intel's has almost made it mandatory to buy a heat sink to cool this cpu, because of the total shit they include in the retail box.

I'm not adverse to one. I'd rather not get Asus, unless I have to, bad RMA experience with Asus. Biostar is a definite no, this one is a pile of shit. Anything else, I'm game

The JR is mATX though isn't it? I want a full ATX board. I take it the other DFI 790GXs should be just as good?

ShadowFold has agreed to have me host a website for this stuff so we can do more than just one thread, i will post more info when its ready.

yessir. It is Matx. DFI all boards are great dude.

ShadowFold · Mar 17, 2009

I would say go with the DFI 790GX if you have the money. It's a great board, I like my MSI better for me, but I don't do any extreme OCing. I find DFI to be more of an extreme enthusiast brand board while ASUS and MSI ,from my experience are more for me, the gamer who just wants 3+ghz for gaming

So in short, DFI boards are harder to get OC's working, MSI/ASUS are easier but I wouldn't think that they would get much higher.

My MSI board is just as good a overclocker. The on board video is great for general resale and for upgrading your video card , because you will never be without one while your new ones in transit. Also the 790 gx boards like the MSI have are super great overclocking on board video cards and believe it or not plays most new games fairly well at lower settings. DFI is good but any 790gx board with a 750/SB will do really. Get the cheapest one with the best features and bundle.

I got it man 1066@ 5-5-5-18
Didnt make as much of a difference as I thought about a .1 or so, wish I still had my HyperX's.

Damn! X14multi on the NB, What voltage did you use BTW?

johnnyfiive · Mar 17, 2009

I'm still surprised that so many people pass up the 920. I feel so special sometimes.

Master}{ · Mar 17, 2009

Site needs a logo, it will be centered at the top,

Demensions = 700 x 100
Format: PNG or GIF
animation is fine.
Must fade to Red at all edges to match the template correctly,
the template uses red(#8c0606)

A variant or runoff of the chrome dragon platform logo would be awsomez

3D Sage, what is your NB voltage!?

Chicken Patty · Mar 17, 2009

good going 3d. Thats a start. cant go 5-5-5-15???

I added .15 over stock to run at x13, it will boot with .125 but wont be stable, its good to go with .15V over stock.

Chicken Patty said:

I'm working on that, been messing with Row Refresh, its running at 75ns ATM.

EDIT:Its a no go I tried 5-5-5-16 and my setup froze.

Oh well, I should have the rest of the new rig by Mid next week
