Im going to try that next.

Nope... getting fatal rounding errors.... Hum... I dont get it.

Okay the computer just finished a 10.5 hour Prime95 test, 439 tests to be exact, on a Small test which stresses cpu with no errors. Im going to start a blend test and see what happens.

Thats the only one that makes it gray screen so far. Actually dring OOCT the computer just froze (with the desktop and everything still visible, just no gray screen). That was a question I asked in another forum. As long as it does what i want everyday and doesn't crash, should I just ignore the pri...

Hi All, I am having major issues with stability on my new build. Here are the following: Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P Bios revision f7 (latest version) AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE at 200x17 and 1.425 voltage (all default) Cooler Master V8 OCZ OCZ3BE1600C8LV4GK Black Edition DDr3 1600 2x2gb at 8-8-8-24 volt...

Have you tried running mem test. Since the only thing that you have adjusted is the memory I would try running that first. Did you bump the voltage up with the frequency or just the frequency. What are the entire system specs that you are running. You may want to start a thread on this so we don't ...

OMG with this board. I have had my computer a week and I am STILL trouble shooting. Never had this much pain before. I have everything i nthe bios at default levels except the ram which I have changed to the manafacutre levels. When running Prime95 cpu test on Windows 7 64bit RC, I get a gray screen...

Oh nice. The MSI was in my shopping cart when I ran across the article here. Several reviewers said it was one of the most frustrating overclocking experiences they ever had. I am curious to see how it stacks up for you guys. well they had a component on the board that failed when the voltage was i...

I managed to Fubar my brand new windows 7 RC install in my overclock attempts. Once I get my 8 b OCZ black edition ram in I will try to overclock again. I think this cheap Corsair memory I bought at frys inst very conducive to overclocking.

All parts? :) I was messing around a bit earlier and was able to get to 4.1 ghz stable (I think). I am thinking about using the AMD Over Drive utility once I have Win 7 installed. I saw in my bios I can overclock the cpu, pcie, bus, ect. I have never really oc'ed before, but I bought components to a...

Cool, well I just bought some ram from Frys to tide me over until my ram from Newegg gets in.

Does anyone have a good over clocking guide?

I would ditch the ram fans...they aren't really needed..They help don't get me wrong..but unless you're really overclocking the hell out of the ram, it's not really needed I do plan on over clocking the system. I just built this: http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumbe...

Hi All, I just got done building (minus ram... grr stupid newegg 3 days my butt!) and I have a Cooler Master V8 and the Corsair Dominator Ram fans. Well, this V8 is so large that it sort of covers the ram area. I can squeeze the Corsair fans on (not sturdy fit mind you), but the Corsair and the V8 t...

I jsut picked one of these up based on the review over the MSI you had that blew up... building my new rig this weekend!

I just purchased all my parts for a new system from Newegg today.... in that list is the XFX 5870 (I wanted the 5850 but they sell out so fast and I was tired of waiting!). Anywhoo, since this is the same board, XFX could come out with a video bios tweak of their own right?

Sure. They are just plastic pieces.

which means, either they are just screwed in, or you can cut them off, lol

hah yeah that was not clear. I was hoping to hear they were screwed in.

Aww... congrats!!
