Re: Ga-890gpa-ud3h o/c

How do I unlock ?

I am not sure the SB850 offers ACC.
If your bios does not have (ACC) Advanced Clock Calibration then you can't.
You may want to check your hidden bios feature by pressing CTRL+F1 on the main bios page or first page. Then navigate to MB Intelligent Tweaker(M.I.T.)
Here is a bios image of the MB Intelligent Tweaker(M.I.T.) on a GA-MA790GPT-UD3H which has the SB750. It offers the (ACC)

Re: Ga-890gpa-ud3h o/c

Awesome OC but you may want to set Dram voltage control to 1.5v +.15 = 1.65V and set Row Cycle Time to 32T 8+8+8+24=32T. Then try Prime 95 torture test http://mersenneforum.org/gimps/p64v2511.zip
See how long you can go without errors, but watch temperatures. I use HWmonitor for eyeing voltage and temperatures in Windows. http://www.cpuid.com/download/hwmoni...itor64_115.zip
These and other programs can be found here.

Made your changes running prime at defaults (how Long) with HWmonitor...Ran for 8 hours with no errors

Re: Ga-890gpa-ud3h o/c

If you guys want I can look in the BIOS to see if ACC is there or not, if you need me to look in it please tell me which version and I can check for you and post images of the settings visible/invisible to users

Re: Ga-890gpa-ud3h o/c

Sorry, it is not in that BIOS at all. Not hidden either, just not in the BIOS period.

You will need a different board, or to send in a ticket and see if you can get them to add to that BIOS. I am not sure, but I think only certain chipsets support that. Artdrivers will be able to tell you which, if your board/chipset is one of them you will need to get them to add it into the BIOS.

Re: Ga-890gpa-ud3h o/c

Thanks maybe better to wait and just get a 6 core for this board when they come out. :)

Re: Ga-890gpa-ud3h o/c

It may be available for this board and they just have not added it to the BIOS yet, not sure?

Hopefully Artdrivers will know and fill us in.

The ACC function is not offered on the Ga-890gpa-ud3h (rev.1.0)
The ACC function is offered in the AMD SB850 chipsets. The feature is now offered on some ASUS motherboards as a Hybrid switch. http://usa.asus.com/product.aspx?P_I...Ygs&templete=2
The ACC feature will be offered as a revision on some of the newer Gigabyte motherboards with the SB850 and 890G chipsets. Sorry just not on the Ga-890gpa-ud3h (rev.1.0).

Thanks Artdrivers!

I knew you would know what boards/chipsets this applied to.

Re: Ga-890gpa-ud3h o/c

Is the Black edtion 3.2 worth the extra money?

Re: Ga-890gpa-ud3h o/c

Is the Black edtion 3.2 worth the extra money?

Question is compared to what? Do you mean the 1090T compared to the 1055T?
My opinion is yes. If I had the $100 more. I would go for it. It is the only black edition in the Phenom core 6 family at this time. This means it has an unlocked cpu multiplier. If you want to oc you will have more options and stability with it. Also it runs 400Mhz per core more from start, and is in the same wattage rating 125Watt. Which is a good increase in terms of cpu speed. Although it really depends on what you want or need.
