Cool & Quite Windows 7 64 - 890FXA-UD5

Before I was using my Phenom II 965 BE - 3900 or 3800 and when I check from AMD Overdrive it was working. But now always run at 3800Mhz - never comes to 800Mhz - 900Mhz when CPU is not working.

If I change FSB settings works, But If I use Multiplier settings to overclock doesn't work. Before it was working. I did update to F6 nothing changed. Used Clr Cmos , not working.

What must I do?

Q&C enabled from bios.

Hi,

You need to set the Core Performance Boost to enabled in BIOS under the heading MB Intelligent Tweaker (M.I.T. )
Then adjust the CPB Ratio to your overclock settings. (by default these will be lower)
Then enable Turbo CPB.

You will then find that your CPU will drop back to a slower speed when idle.

Thanks, but I couldn't find them? F5 bios.









note : with these setting, I did run Prime95 64bit (torture setting) & OCCT (high) for an hour, no crash.

Is your board Rev2.0 or 2.1? I'm running rev 2.1 board with F6 BIOS

Try updating BIOS to F6 using QFlash Utility

Mine is Rev2.0 - thanks I'll try again.

but this is cuz the Multiplier is above x16

try with higher HTT and lower multiplier and should work

[DJ_OXyGeNe_8]

HTT?

FSB

Today I had interesting experiences... First, I wanted to change termal paste, I did order Arctic  MX-3. I did use, and I did make a good cable connections. After I wanted to start PC, it didn't work !?? Fans, graphic card's fans etc. working but there is no sound (beep) or anything on monitor. I thought I did break (I couldn't find better word for now) mainboard or CPU. Than I did re-open, checked CPU. I checked everything. Than started again just sounds. 11 times... 11 times beep, than starts again. I really thought I did break something. But "sound" is good, something changed.. But I couldn't understand what happened... Than I've a notebook and checked from internet. Guys said just 2 things; graphic card or ram. And I thought may be the problem about rams. Than removed one and still beep, beep ... I said ok, I broke something, mainboard is not working...

Than I removed ram and plugged other one; worked!!!

Oh my god, just a ram problem!? What happened I really don't know !? I never touched rams when I was working on mainboard. But it's ok, just 2 gb ram.. I'm happy, graphic card, motherboard, CPU etc. has no problem. Just a ram...

And now there is no problem about Cool&quiet. It's working. What happened, I really don't know. May be, I did remove battery for 2 minutes to find the problem. May be I don't know.

And one thing again; I was thinking my motherbord is 2.0 - I was checking the book and saw a picture - says "you can learn motherboards rev.)

And checked, mine is 2.1 !?!? writes at he bottom of mainboard

like this;



But everest software says mine is 2.0 !?!? And checking words on motherbord; mine is 2.1 - like ATi Cross FireX logo etc.  



want to ask;

bios - driver versions are different or the same for 2.0 and 2.1 ?


And I can't see my CPU on startup (3.400 Mhz - 2400hz etc. ) Just writes Cpuid... what is this?

Is this a problem?

Bioses are different, get the right bios for your motherboard

and you are running the RAM at 1600 MHz which is somewhat Overclocking since AMD cpu only supports 1333 MHz RAM, that's why the RAM got killed

[DJ_OXyGeNe_8]

Ok guys I did try again other ram, looks work. But If I try to use as dual, beep bepp...

If I plug to First Blue and First White channels, working. I can see 4 GB

But what is this called? It's not Dual I know. Do I have to change something on Bios for this type of using?



And it's about Mainbord, CPU or Ram?

[absic]

Hi,
using those 2 sockets you are running in Dual Channel mode. This setting is automatic and you can't change it from within BIOS.

Are you getting confused with Unganged and Ganged Mode? If you are trying to run your RAM at 1600MHz in Ganged Mode then it won't do it. I can't run my RAM in Ganged mode if I set it above 1333MHz and AMD recommend running in Unganged mode anyway.

[DJ_OXyGeNe_8]

Isn't dual channel Blue-blue or white-white ?

[absic]

Sorry my mistake, I have just double checked by re-configuring my own RAM and you are correct.
For dual channel on this motherboard you need to use slots of the same colour.
