Re: GIGABYTE MA790FXT-UD5P with AMD Phenom II X4 965 OC Performance Analysis

GIGABYTE components placement are very clean



BIOS page


Main tuning menu


Voltage page
DDR3 Voltage Control +0.050~0.750V
NB Voltage Control 1.100~2.600V
CPU NB VID Control -0.600~+0.600V
CPU Voltage Control -0.600~+0.600V


CPU cores enable status
F8a BIOS adds the enable 3 cores feature
You can use this function to instead of unstable quad core CPU to enhance the stability.


DRAM Set Up page


DDR3detail parameters


PC Health Status


The setup above is my CPU OC to 370MHz.
In fact, AMD RAID compatibility issue really trouble me the extreme OC for few days to find out the issue.
If CPU want to run in high frequency, CPU NorthBridge Freq./HT Link Frequency/CPU NB VID Control need to be adjusted.
According to each CPU capability, you have to adjust the voltage and HT frequency to find out the best combination.


Test Configuration
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965
MB: GIGABYTE GA-MA790FXT-UD5P
