Vw, what BIOS settings are you wondering about?

Here is another helpful guide about the 790FX: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=169812

Good luck

Its more so all the extra ram settings, and also I cant figure out how to disable onboard sound. Thanks for the link, Im looking into it now.

Boy there veedub, I honestly couldn't even imagine the first place to look. DFI BIOS's can be quite tricky with them RAM settings. Hence why I don't want to own another DFI for a while, lol. They're GREAT when you figure them out!

And I can't wait to see what you come up with for your latest stable overclock! I'm jealous of all of your overclocks, lol. 3.2GHz stable on a 939...just wow!

The only hard part about DFI RAM timings is the sub-timings. While there is not a ton of sub-timings,there is a lot of rebooting to figure what works better with which ever "main" Timings you set to begin with.

Thanks pio, glad I can be a inspiration, as of right now the ocing is on hold, as I have to work 12 hours a day for the next four days. But after that is all behind me, Ill be back with some killer results I hope.

Alright guys...working on a new overclock! I decided to follow veedub's footsteps and try out some nice HT clock speeds.

Here's my current settings (so far 1 hr. 15 minutes stable in Orthos Blended):
Current CPU information:
355 HT Clock
8x Multi
2842MHz
1.26v under load
1066 HT Link Speed (3x multi)

RAM Information:
237MHz RAM speed (DDR474)
2.5-3-2-6-1T timings
2.80v (in BIOS)

Well..what do you guys think? I know its no 250MHz on the RAM....but I'm getting closer!!!! Settings are ALL AUTO SETTINGS except the timings and voltage I listed (RAM wise). I gave up tweaking it. If it doesn't work like this, then I'll drop it back down to 312 x 9 with 200MHz RAM and nice and tight timings. But so far...so good.

I'll update with proof and stability when it all is finished up!!!

Well I'm back up to 1 hour and 10 minutes again! I WAS running 1.33v before and stopped it myself. Figured what the heck...might as well try lower volts again. Dropped it to 1.25 in BIOS, gave me 1.28v idle, 1.26v load...and I've been going strong now for an hour and ten minutes again.

Headed to bed here soon, so hopefully by the time I wake up...it'll be stable and good to go!

dang how do you guys get such low voltages? I think I'm running 1.4v just to get to 2.7ghz!
although it may be 1.375...

Vw, to disable the audio go to Integrated Peripherals->South OnChip PCI Device. Next to "HD Azalia Audio", change AUTO to Disable.

Hope that helps
