GA-MA78G-DS3H good for my rig?

thank you for the feedback

i get Temperatures

+5 V Standby 5.54 V
VBAT Battery 3.14 V
DIMM 1.84 V
GPU Core 0.88 V
GPU Vcc 3.31 V

this is idle temps some times get higher than that...
i made a memtest and it passes twice and didnt find any error...
i adjust the voltage for my cpu and made the vcore sets on 1.34 and mem voltage 1.8 and still get the freeze sometimes and low fps in wow and some others like crysis with or without AA the fps stuck on 25-30

i cant low it...the lowest voltage is 1.8 i only can increase it...
chkout the specification of my rams:

i always get freezes while installing programs or games or program running background....any idea?

plz anyone can help me?

thanks for the replay

i will update it since the f9d is a beta bios is it ok to update?

another question... am i having a chance of bottlenecking?

i have amd PII x4 955 c3
this is the description of supported list:

http://www.gigabyte.com/support-do [...] x?pid=2800

am updating and give ya the report tomorrow

ok...after updating i have been doing some tests and heres the results (bios in default setting)

see the vcore of the cpu...is it ok?


ram volt is on:1.95v

is everything is fine with voltage? i see ramv on 1.95 and mobo on 51c idle? should i worry?

Benchmarks: GPU on stock clocks...

Heaven 2.1 results:


-i still see freezes (while installing GTA IV)
-i saw improve fps in games:
Crysis 1.2v all max 1280x1024 no AA > 40-58fps avg:49fps instead of 25-31fps
GTA IV update 7 all max 1280x1024 i get 56fps in benchmark and gameplay avg 26fps

i guess thats all...i'll post other if i got somthing else

The CPU is very high for the stock speed, with 1.35V u can run it at 3.2GHz without problems the 1.5V are only useful when u try to go fro 3.8GHz or above.

With only a good cooler the temps problems can be solved, isn't necessary a new case.

I only can think in GPU problems, maybe driver problem or the GPU himself. Can u test with another GPU or test the GPU in another rig?

Try uninstalling the driver and install it again. But download it again from the nvidia's web site.

Remove the CPU and CPU cooler and install it again.

The only thing that I cant think is the mobo.

thanks for the replay...

@saint19
so u can say rams? timing? see this thread i have made

http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/foru [...] ory-timing

@mosox
i read all of wt u have provided and i think its a dirver problem? i dont really know but i got big freeze while playing WoW but the system did not froze so i ended up the game by task manager....

about my mobo overheat i will paste thermal tomorrow on the chipset may fix the problem....mobo overheated i think...

Yep, try with one stick of RAM at his rated voltage. The fact that it passed memtest doesn't mean it's OK. Either that or the video card, I don't think it's the mobo.

Which are the current settings for the RAM? x-x-x-x XT and what voltage?

Set the RAM to default settings and test again.
