GA-MA790X-UD4 support for Phenom II x6 processors

yuriylsh · Mar 23, 2010

Does anybody know if Gigabyte is planning on bios update for GA-MA790X-UD4 motherboard to add a support the new coming 6-core phenomes? Looks like GA-MA785GM-US2H already has it http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Motherboard/BIOS_Model.aspx?ProductID=3141&ver=#anchor_os, so I'm wondering if Gigabyte is going to show it's love to GA-MA790X-UD4 , as US2H is AM2+ motherboard too.

Weird, this is a mobo with DDR2 slots only...

Found this via google
`It is clear that the new AMD Phenom II X6 “Thuban” processors will be compatible with AM3 and AM2+ platforms, however, we do not know whether performance booster of the six-core chip will work on all of them.`

Looks like your motherboard has support for new processors too... http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Motherboard/BIOS_Model.aspx?ProductID=3141&ver=#anchor_os.
I sent an email to Gigabyte asking about their plans for GA-MA790X-UD4, will see what they reply...

WojtasRed · Mar 30, 2010

Yeah, may be all AM2+ mobos will have a support for x6

Gigabyte's response

Those who might be interesting in the topic, here is the response regarding Thuban processors on GA-MA790X-UD4:

Dear customer,
AMD X6 processor still under validating on this board, will post new bios on web when it passed all test, please keep checking on our website.

This is the board I'm currently using and I was hoping it would get upgraded BIOS for the X6. I'm still moving to an 890X but this would at least give me some time for a bug fix BIOS upgrade before I buy.

Maranello · Apr 28, 2010

The MA790X-UD4P (DDR2 version) pages shows updated 10A BIOS "Update CPU AGESA 3.7.0.0"

Thanks Gigabyte :toast:

Shadowdust · May 3, 2010

I e-mailed Gigabyte about the MA790X-UD4 last week and they replied:

"Board now is under AMD'X6 processor validation, please check back with us next week."

I'm hoping that means it is a matter of days before this model gets some support. My 1055T comes in today, I'd hate to have it sitting on a shelf for another week or more.

Using the F3g bios and it's really twitchy for me with a 1090T...

Yea future bioses will help everyone use the full potential of the 6 core chips. i read an article were motherboard manufacturers were complaining that AMDs AM2 compatibility for the 6 cores were making them make a whole new bios for there boards to support the turbo stuff and some of the AM2 boards just couldn't cut it and glitch out.

sNiPeRbOb · May 3, 2010

well maybe they should worry about getting non-beta bios out for AM3 DDR3 boards that should be able to handle it...

wiak · May 3, 2010

its just a matter of time, my GA-MA790FXT-UT5P got 6-core support just a week ago
send them a support ticket at http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/ServiceCenter.aspx

sNiPeRbOb · May 4, 2010

good news, just got reply from Gigabyte. Told me NOT to boot with an X6 til I installed the bios they linked me to.
