    Loved my two 720BEs even though I never got the 4th core!!! They're a blast to "practice" overclocking with. So guskline go have some more fun!! Had one in a Biostar 790GX XE that was 3.6~GHz stable and another in a Biostar TA760G AM2+ that was 3.5~GHz stable. Sadly didn't keep any notes...

    In bios > T-Series Settings > CPU FID/VID Control > Custom P-States > Enable That is where you find the Core FID (multiplier), Core DID (ratio), Core VID (voltages), and NB FID (freq) You can find some nice pics of the bios screens here...

    Killed A PSU???

    I had unplugged it several times and had down time in case there was some thermal overload circuit. However you suggestion to just try and power a HDD intreged me, so............ 1. Didn't have a spare HDD so said what the heck, plugged in a 120mm fan and up she spun! 2. Okay lets try the...

    Killed A PSU???

    Okay think I've done a real NOOB here and killed my psu. On my water cooled mATX build had everything hooked up to do the leak test and used the "jumper" provided to bypass the mobo. Had an initial major leak (didn't seat on of the tubes all the way) which side tracked me for a bit. After...

    SG01 Evo Case Front Audio to TA780G M2+

    As it seems the manufacturers like to call the same thing different names I'm having an issue with hooking up my Silverstone SG01's front audio cable to my Biostar TA780G M2+ mobo. Below is what I have and some of my guesses. SG01: L-RET in series with L-OUT R-RET in series with R-OUT...

    Is my motherboard compatible with Phenom II ?

    rebels haven will be one of you best sources for "custom" and factory Biostar bioses. Been using their stuff since my first 6100-939 build. Polygon's web site would be a nice companion to this one for Biostar fans. So far it appears (from what I've read and friends that are running them)...

    micro ATX motherboard drawbacks?

    I have owned several small - mid sized towers over time and really think they must have been thinking mATX when they were made. And yes it does free up space for water cooling if that is your thing. As far as oc limits don't have an opinion on the "dark side" as I've only done the amd thing and...

    micro ATX motherboard drawbacks?

    General rule of thumb for me is ATX for a "full size" case and mATX when you have to. And this is from a guy that has four mATX systems running! If you have the case get an ATX board as they are usually more "feature rich" and you may limit yourself later down the road it you want...

    Memory for my Kuma 7750BE & Asus M3A78-CM?

    When I originally purchased these items I also purchase a set of F2-8500CL5D-2GBPK, however for whatever reason they do not want to work with the proc/mobo. Suggestions for some PC-8600s that "will" work with what I have? Or better yet suggestions on how to make the g. skill work!! This is...

    7750BE or M3A78-CM.....Whose at Fault?? Resolved - Somewhat...

    Not really sure why it won't let you change the multi as I been going between x 14.5 to x 16 to get something going. Gotta run but I'll look in the bios again to see if there is something I can suggest.

    Okay here's one for o1die but it is weird (or maybe not) it has booted with the 1003 bios and OCZ PC-6400 memory I have. It seems I may have goofed in ordering the g. skill F2-8500CL5D-2GBPK as it will not boot with it. Then again this is a new proc for me and will have to receive some...

    As part of the roller coaster ride that getting four builds reworked over the past 2 - 3 weeks I had thought of that. I'm ridding high on getting this board, some g. skill PC-8500, and a 7750 to put in it. Was even more excited when I found a box at the back door from Whittier, CA this...
