Yeah, becasue low NB is easier on the ram, if ram isn't quite capable, it lowers the load on the ram.


But because you are running Thuban now, I dunno that you'll have any better luck than mailman did. Thuban just doesn't like DDR2 much, it seems.

Mind you I haven't even tried my cpu yet...so grain of salt, as always.


should be running 5-5-5-18-4-28-8-4, TRFC 60 or higher.

I just installed 2x2 Gskill Trident 2000MHz sticks set @ 1600MHz along side the ocz 2x2 1600MHz plats with the Thuban and no problems here... I like the 8Gig's of memory now... Gaming dont suck up so much ram now as well as burning a dvd... I'm still playing atm :cool:



I was running the Trident sticks alone @ 2000MHz 8-7-8-20 and it's sick how fast (snappy) these things run...

lol good :) Next paycheck I'm going to finally upgrade my GPU and Get a HD5850 or 70. :D



This right here. Hope its good.

MSI 890GXM-G65 AM3 AMD 890GX HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3...

and yeah its a C3 chip. Only needs 125 watts.
Nice choice for the money :toast:

I just hope it has a good bios sense it's a 890 chip set.... If your looking for some reasonably priced used 1600MHz cas 7 sticks hit me up... but all in all nice choice :respect:

I got me a new toy. Came with an AM2+ board too. What I'll do with that I'm not sure since it is a mATX with 2 dimm slots and I don't have any ddr2. :confused:

Default vid is 1.325v and just P95 Blending it right now to see how stable it is. It's full of potential though.

Hello all, I have a phenom II 720 BE.
I have tried to unlock the 4th core but didn't work.
M4a78t-t MB BIOS-3401
got a Overclock failed message when tried to do it.
I think the 4th core is bad/unusable, but I accept tips to try again.
Running stable on 3x @3.000-3.100Mhz, stock cooler: 40-45º C.

Try raising the voltage a bit when unlocking. you probly have a dud 4th core. Mine will unlock and overclock to x4 3.0ghz on stock voltage. needs 1.37 for x4 3.2ghz
