I'm having some issues with my 890FXA. System specs as follows:
MSI 890FX GD70 (1.7 BIOS)
Phenom II 1075t (CoolerMaster 212+)
8gb G.Skill Eco (4x2gb)
EVGA 470
A-Data 64gb S599 (latest firmware 3.4.6)
Antec 850
I've been doing some overclocking and I've been having a number of issues. I'll get it stable and running well and then I'll get to a setting that doesnt work. No big deal usually as I'll reset the CMOS and start over but that is where the problems come in. Many times I'll have to hit the jumper a couple of times before it actually resets and POSTs again. I'll eventually get it back up and running but it has made clocking a nightmare compared to other boards I've used.
I've had the memory up to 1700+ with auto settings without trouble and to fault isolate I've dropped it down to 1:2 (<1100mhz at the FSB I've been running) and it hasnt made a difference. I'm guessing I'm running into a CPU-NB problem (263FSB has been the max so far) but that isnt much of a concern at this point. What is driving me nuts is that I cant clear it out and start tweaking again without hitting the jumper 5 times before it actually clears out.
Any suggestions? I'm about to ****can this and grab a Crosshair IV.
