Hello,
My brother has this setup:
AMD Phenom ii X4 940 @ stock
Biostar TA790GX 128M
4x2GB of 1066 OCZ Reapers (Running @ 5-5-5-15 2T 800mhz)
1TB Samsung F1 Spinpoint
Sapphire 4870 512mb Toxic
Corsair 850tx
I was having a problem with bootups and freezing with Left4Dead... the only reasonable fix so far was to up the voltage on the ram to 2.3v which shows at 2.25v in bios (rated @ 2.2v) (And yes the ram passed memtest86 v2.11)
My real question is why is the cpu vcore showing 1.5 then climbs to hover around 1.7-1.8v ?!?!! This cpu is suppose to be around 1.35-1.4 stock v. I checked bios/ cpuz1.5 / Hwmonitor and all of them read 1.7-1.8v !! I do not know how to change the voltage down to 1.35 for the life of me with this motherboard.
Temps at bootup is around 28/29c coldboot, then idle in windows around 38/39c using Coretemp - only the CPU showed for temps... not like my i7 where it showed Core #0-3. (Stock cooler)
I have used Asus/ Gigabyte but never biostar and I can only see an option for overvolting the cpu but not under.... ?!
I would definitely appreciate any enlightenment or advice!! I hope it's a voltage sensor problem but is that possible? Also do you think that either the MB or CPU may be defective?
