Biostar TA790GXB3 AM3 790GX DDR3 Motherboard Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

[WizardsMagic007]

I have same motherboard got it for super cheap! I only have one problem. When I run all 6gb of ram at 1600MHZ I get a bsod. When I run only one stick (2gb) it does not bsod.

[andrewhelpern]

@WizardsMagic007 Are you running 64 bit?

[WizardsMagic007]

@andrewhelpern

Yes Windows 7 x64. I bought a new power supply hoping it would fix this issue. It still occurs when all 3 memory modules are running @ 1600MHZ speed. If I keep them at 1333mhz computer never sees a BSOD. Or as before if I take 2 sticks out and keep one in it will work at 1600mhz, just not all 3 at once.

[orbitalarbiter]

That would be Phay-nom, no?

[masik7290]

so is this a good mobo or not?

[ccccccccchase]

will the AMD Athlon II X2 255 Dual Core Processor with the Socket AM3 work on this motherboard.

[DasPooperTrooper]

for $70 people should quit the fuck whining. It's a great budget board.

[CoreyTheStory]

@DasPooperTrooper wow only 70 bucks? where can i get one? :O

[RD400D78]

it's "fee-nom" not "fen um".

[thyPotato]

@RD400D78 who cares...

[RD400D78]

@thyPotato Anyone that doesn't want to sound like a jackass... Jackass.

[IIzRippiin]

i got this board the other day i love it, i think it looks sexy and it supports my old ide stuff till i get new things :)

[kjeromeb]

hey i have the same exact board. You seem to know your stuff would you happen to know if this board could hold a GTX 295? thanks man.

also i jus wanted to verify it can use DDR3 RAM and a black edition 965 processor?

would you recommend 1000 watt power supply for the abovesaid hardware?

[micropage7]

i've used this for about 5 months and in my opinion it is a nice board and the price aint gonna broke your wallet XD

[xo7xbgdne]

@micropage7 Great board I used it to replace a cheap MSI 770/690. Much nicer than MSI. I now bought a Biostar T X58A and for the price I could not complain. Unlike the over priced Asus yet theres no real features I missed out on. The Intel CPU is overpriced but it's the difference I wanted.

[RAWisJericoDie2te]

shit this board was yery interisting for me but olny with 2.1 sound support i can forget it

[lickmewilly]

will the coolermaster v8 fit on this mobo??

[lickmewilly]

will a evga gtx260 fit this? and what ddr3 speed will work?

[iJames1o1o]

The 4 Pin Molex connector on the motherboard, I think that is for the AMD CPUs is it not? Something to do with if your PSU dosent have an 8pin Connector. I dont know I use intel :D

[Bayngan]

Nice, I wonder how it compares to the ASUS M4A79T Deluxe.

[JonnyFlash80]

What an ugly ass board. Blech!

[cardboardsnail]

I wish they would put VRM cooling on this board.

Heck, even a thin metal plate akin to a heatspreader would be better than nothing.

[kamikazerus]

ide,floppy,onboard graphics,three audio ports >_>

[incognitostatus]

i thought it has 100% solid caps? :D

[paulkimlax]

the NB on this board gets extremely hot...

[CruelQuertos]

@UserNamei5

yes

[JamieA242]

they last longer and are more reliable.

[plotikai]

omg thats so ugly

[G9xXx]

LOL i got the older version of that board but with pci express ports for cfx :) I used to run dual 5870, but now only one cause that it does not support crossfire higher than 3800 or 4800 series..

5*

[eldaguinio]

Hey this is the first time I see and AMD mobo in your channel!! xD ..cool!!

[beachzone2]

never heard of that company before

[pirtea]
