Oi oi... your asking too much from him :D naww just kidding Anyway the easiest way is to download @bios updater. You can get it from here http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/FileList/NewTech/old_motherboard_newtech/tech_a_bios.htm and update trough it.. its not 100% fullproof but I did mine the first...

First things first, are you using @Bios updater or Q-Flash from bios?

everything was set manually all automatic features were set off, the vcore was 1.35 on bios but when I boot vista it was at 1.4, well then I set it manually -0,05 lower and tadaa!!! it was at 1.3! :confused: CPU temp was until now at 25-30 and core temps were around 42-45 idle, now the CPU...

F4 bios update changed the CPU sensor to something else. I don't know where it takes those temps but its double compared to the F4a and earlier bios version CPU temp from 25-30 to this I'm not sure if this is only issue with Phenom II 940x...

No its all default, 3ghz no overclock and running idle, amd c'n'q and cpu fan control disabled..

Are these temps okay for idle system and default settings? Now I'm thinking again that the heatsink is set improperly or I didn't use enough thermal silver paste :banghead: Disabled fan control and AMD cnq

I'm doubting the core temps :| It will go up to 58-60 while running prime 95. No difference between 3,4 and 3,5ghz Only CPU temp is 2-3 degree higher. After getting BSOD, +0,25 vcore and its running solid stable again at 58-60c core temp and 41-45cpu temp :) Using this...

Troubled, what kind of cooling system are you using? Just curious because I've been doubting my heatsink if its seated properly. Running 3200mhz, core temps 54c CPU temp 41c. Which one should I use? Core or CPU temp as measurment?

Which one is your CPU temp :confused: Using Noctua NH-C12P and temps look something like this idle. AMD cool'n'quiet enabled...

If your CPU is AMD Phenom II 940 X4 Black edition it should be running at 3000ghz (15x200). It's factory setting. only older Bios version don't regonize it correctly and multiplier is set to x11,5. Mine worked just fine when I set it to x15. I have same motherboard and CPU and its working fine...

The gigabyte MA790GP comes with an bios version that doesn't automatically regonize the default Multiplier for the Phenom 2 940, its safe to set it to 15. After Bios update for example F3 The CPU is being regonized correctly. Using F3 and waiting for better release :( I'm having the same...

I thought the CnQ feature only changes the CPU fan speed. also doesn't it strain the cpu if it bounces every 1-5seconds from 800mhz to 3000mhz? Even when doing nothing or running some software :S I don't think it works correctly... Might run some tests today... E: works fine the multiplier...

Could it be CPU related? I have Phenom II X4 940. the thing is on auto, it doesnt go over the default multiplier (15) but it does go as low as 4x which I think is not possible to set on bios. CnQ is enabled.

Yes they are, there is "two" dual channels.. so its either 1&2 or 3&4 from 790GP manual... " When enabling Dual Channel mode with two or four memory modules, it is recommended that memory of the same capacity, brand speed and chips be used and installed in the same colored DDR2 sockets for...

First post on techpowerup forums :toast: RAID doesn't work on F3o. Also in F3 when CPU multiplier is set auto it boots up correctly but it starts to bounce back and forth from 5x to 15x ( if cpuz everest are showing it correctly, when set manually it sticks with the set multiplier...) E...
