890GXM-G65 with Phenom II x4 960T

As the title says, I would like to know if the two are compatible, since the 960T is not listed on the compatibility list for the mobo. I`m asking this because i`m having a hard time to find a 955, and as far as I can find near my home, the 960T is cheaper.
What I know is that this mobo is compatible with the 1090T and the 955

  • 790gx-g65 with phenom quad cpu vin core voltage ?

    Hi people I wonder some experts may be able to help me here ?
    For weeks and weeks I have been struggling to get my PC to run correctly or boot into windows, I have a 3 boot system Vista,Seven and XP, and had always been using the windows 7 O/S until about three weeks ago when it failed to boot, I managed to get into vista, and XP so assumed something had become corrupt, but noticed XP verry sluggish to respond, and the mouse curser barely reacts, now vista also wont boot, and only accasionally will xp, I have run virus scans, and mailware scans, tune up programs on all drives, disconnected all but boot drive,and taken ram out one by one, but nothing seems to sort out the problem, today I noticed an amd overdrive tool that gives some system stats, and noticed that all my cpu cores run at arround 1 to 1.9 volts, but vin2 is at 154.88 volts, surely not ?, all tempretures appear ok, I'm hoping its a glitch of some type, but if not, how do I change it, or any ideas as to cause and what I may do to get my system back ?
    System specs as follows:-
    MSI 790GX-G65 790GX AM3 DDR3 VGA DVI HDMI 8 channel Blu-ray audio ATX Motherboard
    AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition 3.2 GHz
    Kingston 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1333MHz HyperX Memory Kit CL7 1.7V
    Corsair Performance Series 128GB 2.5" SATAII Solid State Hard Drive
    power supply came with case it says :-  500 watt, Raidmax amp ratings :- +3.3 = 28.0a   +5v = 38.0a   +12v = 22.0a   -5v = 0.5 a   -12v = 0.8a   +5vsb = 2.0 a
    Graphics currently on board hd3300
    I think thats about all that may be relivent, some help would be grately appretiated

     Yes to what Fredrik said about Raidmax, those things belong in a junk box not a PC box. $25 piece of garbage. Fredrik put it too mildly.
    Maybe something like this: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/135514     Corsair TX650W

  • 890GXM-G65 and Phenom II X2 555

    Hey guys.  Just picked up the following combo and I'm having a hard time unlocking the other cores on this chip.  I already updated to Bios 1.6 but when I set the core unlock to enabled, and reboot, the system will not post.  Any ideas?

    Quote from: Henry on 06-May-10, 07:28:08
    Did you update to BIOS 1.6 right off the bat without trying to unlock the cores 1st? After all unlock cores was in BIOS 1.2 and if your MB had that already there was no need to update BIOS for it. As far as I know the main reason for 1.6 was 6 core CPU support. Aside from that I hope that you understand that not all of the Ph. ll X2's will successfully unlock, there's no guarantee it will happen.
    The board shipped with version 1.0 and I upgraded to 1.4 then to 1.6.  I understand that not all of them unlock but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something like extra voltage etc...

    got everything up and running mine came with bios ver 1.6 used m-flash to flash to ver 1.8 had no problems only thing i don't like is the lan wont run at 1gbps to my netgear wnce2001 even if i select 1gb full it wont even switch from 100mb.
    This is a different issue ,you should open another thread.
    Anyway you can t get 1000M if the switch in the router can t do 1000.
    Is the router gigabit on the LAN ports?The router will limit you.

    This is wierd.
    I have:

    AMD Phenom II 955BE
    Geil 2x2Gb DDR3 1333 (Model GV34GB1333C7DC)

    WD Caviar Black 1TB Sata 6.0Gb/s HD
    New self-build. Everything is installed, Bios reset, Bios configured (ver1.6). Auto Settings, no overclocking.
    I try to install Windows 7 x86 from DVD or USB. It goes through the first Black and White window extracting files, then it proceeds to the first 'Starting Windows' and reboots. Tried Safe mode, and it fails on DISK.sys and reboots everytime.
    I have checked all settings in the bios, tried disabling C&Q, disconnected the DVD and tried from just USB. Replaced Sata cables, tried different Sata ports. Tried with 1 DDR3 module. Same result.
    I did a google and found some people had issues with their PSU, they replced it and resolved the issue, however my PSU is a cheapo 500w, not the same as mentioned by other people.
    Anyone have a solution for reboots caused by DISK.SYS during install?

    There is no such board [890GXM-GD65]

  • 890GXM-G65 New Build

    Hello
    I am building a new machine but having blue screen crashes during OS installation. The machine spec is as follows:
    Motherboard: MSI 890GXM-G65, with latest 1B BIOS. BOIS is set to default settings.
    Memory: 2 x 4GB Corsair 1333 DDR3 Non-ECC (9-9-9-24) 1.50V, dual channel.
    Power Supply: Arctic 700W.
    Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Socket AM3 3.2 GHz.
    HDD: Seagate 500GB 3.5" Barracuda SATA-III 6Gb/s
    Optical Drive: LG BH10LS30 10x BD-RE with DVD±RW & LightScribe SATA Blu-Ray
    First I tried loading my old Windows XP OS but this was was crashing at random points in the installation process. Sometimes I would get all the way through but it would crash during updating from the Windows Update website. I gave this up and decided to bit the bullet and put Windows 7 on it. This began blue screening almost immediately, but my most successful attempt has got to 66% in the expanding files phase of the install (several times it has stopped here). I had a 550W PSU installed at this time, so I decided to put the PSU shown above in, but this has made no difference. The blue screen message is almost always "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL", which does not tell me to much. It might be indicating a CPU or Motheboard issue, but I cannot decide which.
    I now have a pretty big investment in hardware and software, and not a lot to show for it. I would be most grateful for any pointers that anyone has to offer on how to proceed further with determining where the problem lies. Thanks very much for reading this.

    The Corsair is for sure far more powerful then both others.
    As you have to look at the 12V rail, it output 34A BUT that is continues power.
    Those other PSU's will not do that, not even close.
    You can simply not buy a powersupply that outputs 500W continues for a lower price then the Corsair.
    But the entire game isn't about watts, it's about 12V amperes that can be delivered continues, the Corsair does that.
    Those "brands" you name for sure won't deliver anything near and probably explode when you try.
    Please do some reading at http://www.jonnyguru.com/ you will quickly find out that watts are not the game to be played, the amps that the 12V regulators can handle are.
    BTW, he has some reviews about el-cheapo PSU's that blow to pieces big time not even reaching anything near the Wattage on the label.
    Please don't fall for the Watt trap as it's abused by many cheap crap PSU's, even if they do look fancy.
    Just read this test about the CX-430 and you know enough: http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=214

    there are 4 aps leds above the CPU. They are always lit no matter what. And bios defaults to disabling the APS feature. And per mobo manual, ther are only two phases, 1 led lit for power saving and 4 lit for full load.
    Bios defaults are disabled for the APS, enabled for cool and quiet.
    Will i see any difference if i enable it? Should i enable it? Or just leave it disabled.

    HI,
    maybe you are having this problem because the feature is not working in BIOS. After updating the BIOS on my 790fx-gd70 I also noticed that APS didn't work any longer. I contacted support but haven't heard from them yet.
    You can however turn Phase Switching on after boot-up using "Green Power Center" in Windows.

  • 890GXM-G65 working with 1,6v RAM - Is that ok?

    Hello, folks. I built my first rig last year, with the 890GXM-G65, and I am considering a few updates, which made me realize that I made a mistake  . Now that I am more aware of things in a rig, I saw that my mainboard requires 1,5v RAM, but I have 2 x 2GB Corsair DDR3 1.333MHz TW3X4G1333C9 G (1,6v). I read somewhere that using memory with voltage higher than the mainboard can compromise or even burn the processor. Is that right? Is the 1,6v RAM putting my processor or the mainboard at risk?
    I will replace the RAM for 4 x 4GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9 (1,5v), but I don’t know if I can wait a little bit or if I should replace the RAM as soon as possible. All in all, my computer is working fine since day one, but I don't know if the mistake with the RAM is lowering its performance. Or maybe I was expecting too much of my Phenon II 1090T 
    Here is my rig:
    - Windows XP (Win7 is driving me nuts)
    - 890GXM-G65 (no OC whatsoever)
    - 2 x 2GB Corsair DDR3 1.333MHz TW3X4G1333C9 G
    - Phenom II 1090T
    - Sapphire HD 6870
    - HD (OS) Seagate Barracuda 320GB
    I appreciate any comments,

    I your Bios, if you look in the Cell Menu, there are available adjustments for memory. You can run 'Auto' or set specs to match your Memory specs, or Overclock. Although the manual States 1.5v, it is the Auto basics and can support 1.5v sticks. I looked at MSI under 'Test Report' and your current Corsair memory is on the tested list, as OK to use. If you memory specs ask for a different voltage value, you can manually set the voltage in your Bios under DRAM Voltage(V). Never adjust into the RED values. Setting to the suggested voltages for your sticks is proper, any other choice is Overclocking, or Underclocking. You can also set the timing and 1T/2T. Again this information is available at Corsair for your memory sticks. Do not think that MSI tested and qualified memory sticks are to be set at 1.5v, if the sticks call for a different voltage. At Corsair it shows TW3X4G1333C9G stick as 1.5v (you say 1.6v) and timing of 9-9-9-24. Double check at corsair to verify the values. That said if they are infact 1.6v memory sticks, then set the DRAM voltage to 1.6v. I do not see the Corsair Vengeance DDR3 CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9 sticks at MSI test list as tested. That doesn't mean you can't use them.. just not on the tested list. You can verify that at Corsair.
    Good Luck

  • 890GXM G65 Phenom II X6 BIOS query

    Hi. I didn't get the required information from the sticky regarding thuban support for the above mentioned board, so I've created a new thread. I have a plan of buying AMD Phenom II X6 1055T processor and MSI 890GXM G65 board. The board at the time of release didn't have the support for thubans, so most probably I'd need to get a BIOS update for the installation of the thuban CPU. My question is, Will it boot with the thuban CPU even without the bios update? I'm asking this because I don't have an old AMD CPU to carry out the BIOS update process. If it doesn't boot, the it's a complete waste of money. Thanks in advance...

    I was afraid of this combo but my results were fine. I bought the combo at Frys and it came with bios version 1.4 and booted and worked fine through windows, but it would not recognize cpu speed accurately after overclock( had nothing to do with amd cool feauture) After 1.6 bios update its recognized flawlessly. You shouldnt need to have another processor to do a bios update,it should still allow you to boot to bios.

  • XFX Radeon HD 5770 Compatible with 890GXM-G65?

    Anyone have issues installing an XFX Radeon HD 5770 video card with the 890GXM-G65?  Bought one and when I installed it, the fan was blowing but the card was extremely hot (smelled like something was melting).  Also my monitor didn't recognize a signal so the screen was black.  Returned that one, and although the second one was considerably cooler, nothing still appeared on screen.  Is this a compatibility issue?

    all my boot cd are well burnt (tested on another pc) i've tested the ram, the ssd, the hdd and the reader separately and everything work fine another pc.
    my processor is not recognized by the bios, but i'didn't managed to flash the bios with M-flash.
    If some could advice me, it would be great!!

    Try physically inspecting the processor for any missing or bent pins.  If you're going to flash the BIOS, make sure to do it with the forum's USB flashing tool.  It has a 100% success rate and everybody that has used it (including myself) swear by it.

    I purchased the 890GXM-G65 mobo.  I want to install the sata controller (southbridge chipset) drivers from AMD.  I basically want to get maximum performance from my sata controller.  I tried AMD drivers but had problems with installation.  Also, do I need the drivers and application.  Is better to use the default windows based AHCI driver or the AMD AHCI driver?  Thanks

    I downloaded the AMD drivers: catalyst, ahci and SB.  The SB drivers installation work halfway, and then they crash.  I get a driver fail on installation.  Not sure why.  The sata controller device is correct AMD SATA Controller.  I guess I need to see detailed instructions to make sure that I am doing this correct.  Maybe safe mode.  Any suggestions?!  Thanks in advance.

  • Tales of Extreme Frustration: 890GXM-G65 won't POST

    Purchased components to build new computer and the PC won't post for some unknown reason.  The fans come one and the 4 APS LEDS all light up but nothing further.   
    Tested the HD with my current machine and verified it functional via bios.  Tested PSU on my current machine as well and found it to be working.Took the memory back in exchange for 1.5v per the documentation.  Nothing.  Went to exchange the mobo and they get it to fire up right before my eyes.  Assuming the CPU is the issue I make the exchange.  Again, nada.  I go and return yet again and get a 3rd processor and am still getting nothing.  Tried plugging the pwr leaving just the CPU, not even memory expecting error tones from the piezo but of course nothing.  It posted at Fry's so I'm kind of out of things to try.
    Saw posts online citing vcore issues but nothing really fitted what I'm experiencing especially when the solution is to flash the bios when I can't even post.
    Need help. Nightmare build.  THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! 
    Setup:
    MOBO = MSI 890GXM-G65

    Can you ask the obviously very kind servicemen at your store to update BIOS for you.
    Hey thanks man that would be an idea I haven't thought of yet... moreover, I'd like to find out how I can do that myself. 
    Question:  How does one update the bios on a board that won't post?
    Plan:  obtain a stick of super low end ram, get the thing to fire up (assuming its a voltage/vcore issue that's preventing the post), update then reassemble proper
    Does someone know of another way to accomplish?
