I think someone asked if ACC makes any difference with Athlon X2 chips... well here is one older preview of the 790GX + SB750

http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2008/08/06/amd-790gx-igp-and-sb750/3

They had +100MHz from Athlon 64 X2 5000+ (Brisbane) compared to Asus 790FX + SB600 (M3A32-MVP Deluxe)

Go to T-Series -> EC Configuration -> Advanced Clock Calibration

Before this you may have set OverClock Navigator to Manual OverClock

I am not familiar with this bios, just checked Biostar's manual for this bios.

This was for TA790GX3 A2+ 5.x

Few other 790GX models seem to NOT have ACC.

Same thing as MSI's KA790GX model with 750SB http://plaza.fi/muropaketti/muropaketti-selvitti-msin-790gx-emolevyn-epaselvyydet sorry for Finnish but as you can see from the pictures and quotes, they used cheaper PCB from old SB600 model (KA780G) which didn't have the extra pins/leads available for ACC to work.

thanks but mine is different. You go to CPU configuration then go down to the bottom but i can't turn it on using my chip.

Meizuman · Dec 26, 2008

YYEEAAHHH.... New BIOS from Gigabyte! Will check it out immediately... Hopefully it gets me going. http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Motherboard/BIOS_Model.aspx?ProductID=2887 This one is F3H, I wonder what the "H" stands for? I have been checking the checksums with FastSum 1.6 after I read some guys difficulties with GB's BIOSes.

you mind showing us your CPUz ? heheeh, if only it was true.

Meizuman · Dec 26, 2008

Yeah, some weird glitch in that 2.1.5... I didn't reboot after installing. Maybe I just got to get used to everything being x2

everything but memory speed...

well if you look at that screenshot long enough, you might actually believe you are running at the speed

Meizuman · Dec 26, 2008

Yeah I have 26,5GHz processor! How cool is that... I'll try to reboot now and see if this BIOS has still the coldboot problem. I have to switch my PSU off & on every single time if I want to power on my rig. Else it will power on without any booting process. Thats not so ideal isn't it?

no that is not ideal at all! Have you tried disconnecting everything when booting up, I mean like soundcards, anything usb plugged in, etc

if possible use one stick of RAM. also.

£251.84 - Available on the 05/01/09.........

Gives me a week to sell my soul and then order...

Oh yeah Meizuman my board does exactly the same thing as yours if I run any kind of OC, with the added bonus of if you hit the reset button while it's in that cycling pre post mode you clear your bios defaults and I have to re input all the settings again
:banghead:

Not tried any over clock on the new Bios yet would be interested to see how you get on yourself
