GA-890FXA-UD5 BIOS problems

**Dante i** · 28-10-2010

I am new to this forum, so I am not having enough knowledge about the posting. But I am sure that I have posted in correct section with proper information. If there are some minor mistakes (avoided major

) please ignore it. I've recently assembled a new Pc! GA-890FXA UD5 with the phenom-1090T 2 8GB Black Dragon 2 2133 Radeon HD 5770 Enermax 750W Xigmatek Midgard. 5 WD 640GB drives as Raid LG BlueRay DVD drive! The CPU is water cooled with Dual Radi fits inside the case! I've Connected everything and everything seemed to work so I've thought it right to overclock! With the following settings: fsb 4199mhz at 1.475 to 247 North Bridge 2470mhz at 1.4 volts HT 2470mhz with default everything was completely stable through 48h have prime can not fail no crash!! So now the problem! Go change briefly in the Bios without anything and then boot up is all like to overclock if I do then restart, the CPU only with 988mhz just like when I use the Pc to make and I receive 1.475 v but the processor only runs at 988mhz even if I'm a burden to it nothing! I tried for hours around! Only when I go into the bios and then boot it all boils down to let the overclocking! And that is totally stable, the processor is so hot not even have degrees by 35 degrees at full load up to the restart then everything is back to normal. Had everything possible in the bios and set huge I had trouble trying to get the processor to standard clock clock without being throttled.

Can I use Windows 7 64bit ultimate edition there is something you've set as looking around everywhere is under option as energy for maximum performance? Did the bios has already been played dozens of times what brought nothing new? I think that the bios adjusts still not one hundred per for the processor something I had often with Gigabyte boards have also the MA770TA-UD3, MA790X-UD3P both were with the Phenom 955BE C3 at first it as well but then ran the standard clock at least correctly on all auto! But if I put everything on the new car is the same! Or is it broken? I will be very happy even for small help...

I get so completely with you can not get through, the overclocking works now or not? I have understood the first overclocking.

fsb 4199mhz at 1.475 to 247 North Bridge 2470mhz at 1.4 volts HT 2470mhz with default everything was completely stable through 48h have prime can not fail no crash!

It all worked out. Later, when you went into the bios, it did not go then? Do the defaults for as yet, that is, we recognize the CPU without overclocking right? Please drop me your configuration so that then a little easier to recognize. This behavior does so only at OC? Without OC CPU - clock display correctly? The 1.475 V should bear in active Turbo. However, I lack the comparative data. Please check the times with CPU-Z or the AMD tool. It may be that in the BIOS, only the max. Value is displayed.

Thanks for checking out my problem. Had just before I go to work had written had much time since net! so the error only occurs in oc! turned off when I leave everything to boost StandardCore active, permanent reboot after a volt but the change is here but rapidly from 1.295 to 1.475 v jump back and forth without me making it load!! When I load increases, the higher value have shown that checked with everest but cpu-z 3200MHz remain unchanged. The OC what I described above is completely stable. Have my other PC, s and even to the limit but I've zero problems. The question is whether this is just my case, or else occurs! if one has the same board he should try it sometimes! With normal standard settings it is stable with 3200MHz and when I lift anything or even the turbo eg. fsb clock manually enter the multi-overclocked to 4 down is not exactly normal so I suspect that the bios may not be quite like processor! Or the processor is faulty; it can be finally time to overclock it properly with the 4200 MHz running?

Normally, with Gigabyte so that the multi is fixed. Only if the power is on, the board clocked down. Try the following steps:

Install K10STAT, let everything in the BIOS to auto (except the DDR3 voltage to the manufacturer).
Then try to K10STAT overclock.
When folded so the settings, then the BIOS seems to not fit what (BIOS bug).

I assume that the board is not defective, but the BIOS has a bug.

I would say first upgrade your bios.
Also make sure you have Turbo OFF as well as CnQ DISABLED in the BIOS. Try again after changing these settings. I do not have a UD5 but I have a UD7 and with factory BIOS (first release) I faced the same problem of CPU showing 800~900MHz of clock speed even when overclocked to 6.3GHz under Liquid Nitrogen Cooling. After upgrading BIOS and disabling these features I could get CPU-Z to show actual speeds of 6GHz and beyond.
