BIOSTAR TA790GXB3 ATX AMD Motherboard

Comment:
First time to use this brand, very pleased with results. Put a AMD Athlon IIX4 635 processor with 4gb 1600Mhz Kingston dual memory with Windows 7 64 bit. Built system & loaded it up runs great & fast even with Norton running in the background. Thinking about building another one just like it for my wife. Recommend this board for anyone for who wants a good Home PC.

Put this in my first custom built system and its working perfect so far and I love the look of it as well.

Bought this and Phenom II 965, memory, and power supply, put it together booted no problem. All the drivers on disk as new as their site. Blazes through games. Haven't overclocked but did use overclock to tweak memory to factory specs. If I do overclock the bios and utilities will make it very easy.

This board rocks. This was my first build and it could not have been easier to set up. I got my memory to go at 1600 through the bios and unlocking two extra cores on my Phenom II X2 545 was easy. Just set ACC to Auto and HT to 1600. I have not tried to overclock the CPU at all, but I don't really feel a need to do that at the moment. Maybe in the future. Very stable and the Phenom II runs at about 25 to 35.

Ive been building PCs for about 7 years now. I most of the times use this brand over the rest cause of how good they are. It is the most Under rated board out there. Its a dream board for overclocking and very stable. I love it since back when they had the 6100-939. People, if you dont see a multiplayer or something of the matter is because your CPU is simply not allowing it. Also if your mobo is not letting you go in is cause most likely you reach the end of the headroom of your ram and you need to downclock your ram. Comn people dont write bad reviews cause you dont know anything about overclocking

If you want value board this is ok. If you want to overclock forget it. It has no multiplier option in the bios. I have a X-2 550 black with unlocked multiplier, but can't change it on this board. You can only change frequency. I tried the manual and auto overclock in bios. If I increase anything, the board will not post. I am forced to run a black processor at stock speed
