Okay so ive updated bios to 1.3 and AOD is 3.02.... I cannot seem to get my multiplier above 13x on my cpu. Has anyone else run into this problem? If so how do you fix this?

CAHOP240

The default clock speed of your CPU is 2.6 right? If you have an 810 I don't think your CPU has an unlocked multiplier. so it should remain at 13.

EDIT: yea I just checked on Newegg to make sure and the 810 is a non-BlackEdition. The AMD processors that have "unlocked" multipliers, meaning you can make it either higher or lower are the BE or Black Edition cpu's. The only way you're going to be able to OC is through the FSB Frequency. FSB x Multiplier = CPU frequency.

The Official MSI 790FX-GD70 Owners Thread

I had that suspicion....... okay well i can go lower just not higher so ill have to lower some of the other multipliers to push the cpu past 3200... I think the max is 600 or so on the board as far as mhz goes does anyone by chance know the max on the 810?

ridn3y

IIRC based from the am3 punch oc guide by msi, the maximum they had for the 810 was 3.9

I'm also a proud new owner of the 790FX-GD70. I just placed my order for my new gaming rig, this will be my first time really getting into overclocking, although I've built my own for the past 15 years.

I was out of the loop since my last build about 2 years ago, so i actually had a question for others with this board. I read somewhere that when you run 4 sticks in dual channel mode, there's a drop in the bandwith. I bought 4 sticks of Mushkin DDR3 1333, one the price was right, and second, someone was stating that the 1600s weren't worth when running 4 sticks because of the bandwith drop.

Now, I'm uncertain to the validity of their statement, maybe some people could help clarify. Also, do you think that the 4x2GB of Mushkin 1.5v DDR 1333 (model 996585) is still a good choice for my setup, will it handle some mild overclocking? I tried to piece together the best system for my budget, with quality parts, low heat, and low sound emissions, while having the option to overclock to satisfy future needs.

Also, first time user, long time reader, nice to meet everyone!

Man no internet is really starting to suck!!!

How are you guys doin with the new bios? Seen any improvements?

Am thinking of changing the thread to an owners club what you guy's think?

Should have my own internet up and running in about 10 days so ill be posting my latest results!

So do we have anyone here with a stable 4.0 on a 955?
