1.65v  you dont want anymore for just cold water it wont get through cine with that much voltage |

1.65v you dont want anymore for just cold water it wont get through cine with that much voltage lol it was a only a comparison pete, i wasnt going to run any benches with it , i wanted to see what sort of mhz i could get from it compared to the crosshair and ud3 for cpu freq, i didnt think it would be able to get near em but it did... i want to keep this board for a backup for the daily incase the 890 decides to shit itself |

well its like this pete, im runnin outta boards, its been a solid as a rock board as the daily b4 for nearly 2 yrs, no sense benching with it just to see what itll do and the possibility of losin it is high |

That is not an Optimistic outlook. i heeded your advice you said the other day pete, i am going to cut some heatsinks for the vrms for it tho and put them on to give it a bit more help with their cooling |

very happy that the UD3 booted again but i dont get this, i put the UD3 back on 1/2 hr ago too see if it would go again, and i had the 8800GT in it as i did the Asrock 970 PRO 3 b4 it with no boot issues, no way it would boot, so i put the GTX 650 in and it booted straight up into bios like normal, its like it didnt want to see the 8800 GT at all, why would it do this , the same as i tried the 9800 GT in the Asrock 970 pro 3 and it wouldnt boot either but with the 8800gt it did ...regardless of the gpu wouldnt they boot so as you could change drivers or whatever for either  |

you're pumping that much voltage on chilled water? Seems high to me, but congrats

He loves high voltage Vin. As damaging as it can be. He hasnt experienced degradation because nothing lasts that long.  The slot is dirty or the old cards are dodgy. |

i really love this board, i dunno whether ive just got a good one and i thought i would never say this about gig, the bios system on this board and the way its been set up is so easy, even a dickhead like me can work it easily, i dont know but im hoping theyve taken the same set up and into their later UD series boards , theres no mucking around with it, either it boots or it doesnt if it doesnt, it goes to the box to choose enter bios again, how simple is that, no need to go to previous saved boots if you dont want to but thats there too, out of all the boards ive had, this is by far the easiest and most simple to work with for me and the most pleasurable to play with, let alone how it performs to date

Z77, Z97, and Soc Champion all work similar.
Except they have Intel settings.

I think they just went backwards. I don't need mouse control in a bios. I just upgraded a few PC's last month for friends, and the layout imo was the dumbest thing I had ever experienced. Vin |

Ressurecting this thread  I'm trading some of my stuff on mercado livre (it's the ebay from south america) and i got this ga 990fxa ud3 board for something like 50 bucks shipped. Tbh, this will be my first aproach to amd again since i killed a k6-2 like 15y ago... I though playing with 1x cpu sempron 145, do you guys think this will be a fun or pita? Edit: some scores at hwb using this board with sempron 145 (change to 1x cpu to see). hwbot.org/benchmark/cinebench_-_r15/rankings?hardwareTypeId=motherboard_23953&start=0#start=0#interval=20 |

Sempron 145 is a single core CPU.
The board isnt a great board Shane has got one I had it here but wasnt very impressed with it.
But give it a go and see how it goes what Revision is it there was 5 revisions of the board

Thanks anyway |

But give it a go and see how it goes what Revision is it there was 5 revisions of the board Yeah, I agree with ya Pete. I have a 990FXA-UD3 R5 (Rev. 1). It is horrible. At total stock settings with a 1090T in it the vrms section gets super hot. It was a brand new in box purchase..........so I sent it back for RMA. Giga basically told me to shove it, they wouldn't do anything for me and told me the board was fine. NOT.
I still have it sitting in the box on a shelf. I'm afraid to sell it to anyone cause I wouldn't want to be responsible for someone losing there expensive cpu over that crap board. Not a good clocker..............can't even run at stock without melting. One day I will take it apart and see if I can't figure out why that sucker is running so hot. But I remember everyone that had these boards back then complaining as to how hot they ran and how they didn't get customer support to help them with it. Piece of garbage. I think these are the ones that used to warp around the vrm area cause of how hot they got???

I would just put active direct cooling on the board, it seens GAs revisions get cheaper in quality vs their original board. |

I wondered if giga was/is using shitty aluminum that causes bad heat transfer? I setup my Mom with a 990FX and the VRM's sat at 90-100 degrees C with the PC idle, contacted support and they told me that 120 was the expected average and to "keep an eye on it"... dumbasses.. keep an eye on it? I installed a few 3000rpm 40x40x25mm fans to cool it.... idle was 45-50C after and loaded it topped out at 70-80C also happy I just stuck a 955BE in there and not a 6 core... Vin |

wondering if the vrms are making it throttle , i know theyre supposed to run at around 90-100c, or so i thought, but we didnt have an issue with them at your place pete at what ?6.5 - 7 gig i think it was on cold but the board wouldve been cold around the area too from the LN2 pot affect which wouldve helped them greatly
i know you said whackem in the crosshair 4 pete, i get that but im stubborn and wanna find out if its just the board that dont like these cpus much or a bios issue that could fix it, sure the board is an above average 990fxa as its shown with fx cpus, it smashed the crosshair v-z i had and gave you in every way, and that board wasnt a slouch of a board either, maybe it and its bios just loves fx cpus
now vinnieus are at, dumbasses ..( made me laugh vinnie), keep an eye on it? I installed a few 3000rpm 40x40x25mm fans to cool it.... idle was 45-50C after and loaded it topped out at 70-80C i get what everyone is saying but i know it didnt do this b4, but i didnt have these cpus in b4 either, im thinking a bios change might be a good option to do

^ No harm in trying that oz Vin im scared of doin gig bios flashing vinnie, a chip i can take out and use the bios flasher im ok with, i think a thing that gig needs to relook at, coz if you stuff it up it affects the back up bios chip as well, and if it goes back to the back up chip ans you stuff that basically the board is bricked, and thats happened to me b4, least with a removeable chip you can put another in it to bring the board back without dramas. to me its a severe downfall from gig |

I just didn't want to stick fans on something that should have run cool enough at stock. No way I was gonna be able to run that sucker during the summer months. You could fry eggs on it.  |
