GA MA78GM US2H over volt cpu

someon3 · 31st October 2009, 3:56 PM

Hey guys, any of your got a GA MA78G US2H can help me to compare the CPU voltage please. I just build a box and this board is giving the AM3 550 BE 1.4V on auto setting.

What's your cpu? and what voltage the mobo's giving it?

Same thing here brother, 1.4 on auto

I unlocked mine and have it running at 1.25. Go down in increments and see what the CPU can handle

crystalcpuid should be able to do this in windows if you cbf rebooting each time

will need CnQ installed.

I just built five boxes for a client using those boards and Athlon II X2 240 CPUs. I found it wanted to run them at 1.425V stock so I dropped it to 1.325V. Does anyone know why the stock voltage is so high?.

Also interested, although i used the m85m-u2sh... i think on auto it had the little x2 240 at 1.5v but got it down to 1.325v as well.

Doesnt help that ive never built an AMD box before lol.

Now alot of people has the same problems, I think it's quite safe to say there's something going on in Bios of those boards.

However after I install gigabyte engergy saver thingy and have CnQ enable in bios, the board/software would down throtle the chip to 800Mhz on idle and give it 1.02V so I left it as it is and I hope that will be fine.

Checking the website earlier, it looks like the BIOS is about 4 revisions earlier than the most recent (f4 shipped vs f8 on website). Will upgrade and see if it helps (not that knocking volts off is really all that difficult lol).
