Wish there was release notes. I'm testing it now, I'll post back with my results.

With this motherboard, I am currently running a Phenom II 555 @ 3.9Ghz w/ 1.4V and a 2600Mhz NB w/ 1.25V. Couldn't unlock the cores so it's only a dual-core.

My other rig has a 790FX. Also a Phenom II 555 but with all 4 cores unlocked running 3.9Ghz @ 1.44V. However, I could only get a 2400Mhz NB outta it w/ 1.25V. I was able to get 2600Mhz outta it, but I had to bump the volts up quite a bit. Not worth it imo.

Anyone experiencing random lockups/freezes after installing F7b?

I was solid with F5, never upgraded to F6 and went straight to F7b. I made sure my BIOS settings were the same.

I just wanted to mention that my freezeups ended up being due to not adjusting the memory voltage after updating the memory. Can't believe I missed that.
