@gamingpy:

The problem is solved, guys. The cause was that the VGA had blown its HDMI input and with the DVI output it works wonders. What I did was buy an adapter with a male DVI input and a female HDMI output. That was enough. Nothing was burned, neither the motherboard nor the memory. Everything is working. I just finished assembling everything yesterday. Thanks to a friend, we tested it at home and we cleared up the doubts. Wow, I didn't think so. Anyway, I have another 2011 motherboard up my sleeve, but I guess if I ever have problems with this motherboard, I'll have to replace it with that one. Anyway, thanks to everyone for the help.

Obs. In the part of turning on the motherboard manually, there's a button that says off and on. Apparently, according to my friend who read it in a forum, it should be on. So when we tried changing it to on, wuala, it turned on right away, recognizing the memory, CPU, etc. The only thing I had to do was reinstall the whole Windows 7 again, but that's history. As long as it works, I'm happy. Thanks again and I'm clarifying all this in case it might be useful to someone else someday.

It was a mistake not to tell you this because that's what happened to me with a 470 and 480. It doesn't always fail, but sometimes it goes black and doesn't work, so I connect it via DVI or DVI to HDMI. On an LG TV, it used to fail more often than on a Samsung, but HDMI fails.
The 480 has minihdmi as the output and I thought it was because of that output, but I saw normal HDMI failures too.
Although I thought you would have tried a different connection.

you can't use both, the Intel micro and the external one in this case the radeon
if the internal one were radeon, you could, but with the Intel you can't

@hAyO:

On an economic level, I would recommend Asrock, specifically the X79 Extreme6, which costs around €190:
Asrock X79 Extreme6 90-MXGL80-A0UAYZ Placa Base

And it meets what you need, but before buying it, make sure that your CPU, graphics, memory, hard drives, etc., everything works OK, because with voltage increases sometimes not only the motherboard is affected.

Regards!

Thanks for responding, look I opted to buy the ASUS RAMPAGE IV GENE in the end, the only thing about this is that the memory sockets do not have 8 but 4 so I will have to settle for 16gb which I think is enough, right now the motherboard is on its way to my country.

Regards

The thing is, that motherboard is a bit/quite bad… :facepalm: But hey, you can always put a USB multiplier on it, if you're not going to use it for extreme purposes, it will be fine. Also, be careful with that discreet overclocking, don't worry if it becomes unstable very soon. Best regards

Well, I finally installed the new micro and I had several surprises.

1. The HT goes to 2000 MHz, when I didn't expect it to exceed 1000 MHz as my motherboard is AM2. Maybe the BIOS update has something to do with it, although I don't know to what extent the BIOS can change those parameters.
2. Finally, the memory I had installed goes to its maximum speed of 400 MHz, with the previous micro it went to 357 MHz, I don't think it will be noticed much but it's good.
3. For some reason I can't change the micro's multiplier in the BIOS. It's supposed to be an unlocked version (HDZ955FBK4DGI) of the 955 but the corresponding entries in the BIOS are grayed out. With the previous micro I could modify them even though it was a locked model, although I think I could only lower the values and when I exited the BIOS they would go back to AUTO… I don't remember.

In general I have noticed a considerable improvement in performance, and although I find the multiplier issue strange I didn't plan to do OC... with the case I have it's already pretty hot with its stock speed (in summer I don't know how I'll do, I'll have to think of something). If I find a good deal I might also change the graphics card... but first I'll be testing this for a while.

Thanks to everyone for your help.

Best regards.

@amd125:

On Amazon you have a 480 Gigas disk around 200€ and it's not a bad disk:

Crucial CT480M500SSD1 - Internal hard drive of 480 GB, SATA, 2.5": Crucial: Amazon.es: Computer

If the problem is as follows:

-I have 8Gb of RAM but my Phenom II does not accept more than 16Gb-> Mandatory change of platform because I want to put at least 32Gb… besides the CPU is a bit short.

-Motherboard with SATA2-> The motherboard must be changed because a SATA3 controller for PCI-E is not worth it

• But SATA3 makes a bottleneck for SSDs-> I wait to see the SATA Express or I mess up with a PCI-E disk that will cost me at least 500€ up to 2 or 3 thousand euros :ffu:

I liked the "Samsung XP941" with a "Lycom DT-120" adapter since it's the disk used by the new MacPro (the ones that look like the urn of Steve Jobs) but it turns out that it's not Bootable and therefore it's not useful for me to install Windows... I'm thinking about the "Plextor M6e 512Gb - PX-AG512M6e" which comes out for about 450€ and it's supposed to have the same performance as SATA Express disks because it connects at 10Gb/s... besides you can boot Windows with it and it has a decent average performance at the IOPs level although it's not the Samsung (mainly the problem is the Maxwell controller which is a potato).

In any case if I had to get a SATA3 I would get the "Samsung 840 Pro" of 512Gb which now is at 300€ and if it's not enough for me the "Crucial M550"... I say if it's not enough for me because with a scholarship salary I can do little. :eoh:

How nice, it's been a long time since I've seen news like this. I had some Athlon and Sempron models a while ago and I think I'll opt for one of them in the future

In the end I had to change the one I bought, since the crossfire was 16x and 4x, which was not what I wanted.

I ended up getting this one, which is 16x and 8x and they say it's the best combination of quality and price.

Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3 - Motherboard (Socket AM3+, 4 x DDR3, 6 x SATA, 3 x USB with On/Off Charge technology)

Personally I recommend to those who want to do crossfire using their first graphics card and looking for a second-hand or first one if it's still available, to do it, the performance is literally double. I'm more than satisfied. 2 Gigabyte 6850 oc 820 mhz. From rendering at 3500 pts in graphics it has gone to 7100 pts (3dmark 2011 version trial). For 60 Euros a marvel, I don't know what will be equivalent to a single card.

Motherboard problem, as I have already read and I can attest, the northbridge gets hotter than I like, but it's solved with a fan mounted on the graphics card, and it goes down to 36 at rest and 47 while playing.
And the USB 3.0 doesn't perform as it should, but the transfer is averaging at 70.

The motherboard a 4 out of 5.

Well yes, I think you are right in your comments, I will see if I can get a Q6600 for that price and if not I will stay as I am and think about changing the entire platform later
Thank you very much for your wise advice

@Fassou:

It's just that you should take into account the latencies of the 4GB memory, when choosing the 8GB memory model, to reduce any problems related to them.

Ideally, you would put two identical memory modules, to take advantage of Dual Channel, but it seems that won't be your case, so at least check that the first value of the latencies (CL) matches.

A simple way to know the latencies of the installed memories is to use the CPU-Z.

Salu2!

Ok many thanks. Now I've got it. Sorry I was completely unaware of the issue of latencies and so on.

Best regards.

Hello!!
In case anyone was following this post, and has the same processor, this is how mine ended up
after tests and more tests...

CPU ratio : 16.5 ( 3953.93 mhz )
HT Bus speed : 2155.65 mhz
CPU frequenzy : 240mhz
NB speed : 2634.68 mhz
NB voltage : 1.250v
CPU Voltaje : 1.45v
30 º / 50 Full cargue Temp

I set the ram to 1000 and something, I can't remember exactly now...
my ram is 1333mhz, I'm not sure if the latency is good or not, I didn't do well setting the ram there, I should have raised it more... here's the picture, if you recommend raising or lowering the ram, please let me know or if the latency is wrong

Greetings to all

OK, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE ANSWERS.

Well, you see, I have already solved the problem, there were several.

The first thing was that the fan was full of dust as well as the heatsink.
Then I performed reballing with the graphics, added thermal paste and everything is fine.
It seems that there was a cable that was not well attached or that's what it looked like and I adjusted it.
The capacitors were not bulging at least the most significant ones next to the power supply.
The transistors should not be touched.
General cleaning especially and reballing, or rather reflow since I did not change the soldering.
Then I used a temperature scanning program (argus), because I think that was what was blocking the laptop, among other things.

And ready, everything assembled and working, I have performed several times the restart, shutdown, disconnection with and without battery, and it turns on perfect, and of course, always monitoring the temperature.

I hope that the thermal paste does its job, and in case the temperature increases, then I will drill to the edge and make some holes in the lid with a mesh for this thick dust.

Regards

How well the Core2s were doing :wall:

For the Bus value, you must have an automatic Overclock system enabled in the BIOS.

Salu2!

This is another moment when I wish I had a higher level of English, although it is quite understandable. Very interesting.

@gamingpy:

I'm glad it worked for you man!,diime have you tried what I told you earlier about setting the memory according to the timings of the memos? and set to frequency 1866 with the corresponding voltage

Yes, in fact on the Msi board it gives the option of Overclock, and from 1333Mhz I set it to 1866Mhz respectively although I have not done the timings yet, And the final solution to my big dilemma about the Dimm1 and 2 issue, was a little more complicated than it seemed, After the problem with the first 2 dimms it caused me intrigue because being a new motherboard it should not give problems, so I reviewed all the cables (checking for any loose cable or something), Until I took out the CPU, I realized that one of the pins of the CPU socket (lower right specifically) was a little bent which gave as a product no connection to the CPU pin, and therefore when inserting the ramms in the Dimm 1 and 2 it did not recognize them (not even dual channel was possible); so with a needle I put it back in place again and great! Problem solved, now the pc works correctly in dual channel and the processor in normal way, Thanks for the attention of the Forum, anyway the help was very useful to me. Greetings from Chile! I hope someone else finds my solution helpful

I also have a foxconn d945 and I have already changed the battery, ram, hard drive, processor, power supply, keyboard and jumpers and nothing happens, it doesn't go past the bios
