Don't take things personally, it's the internet. And I'm not being rude... except to Waco. ;)

 

Waco is pretty experienced. He had a whole thread dedicated to his FX and AM3+ upgrade that I don't think ever worked. He could probably give the best insight of what's probably going on.

 

I think this was the thread: http://forums.overclockersclub.com/index.php?showtopic=187874&st=0

 

This made me think for a while ... but ill w8 till the replacement will arrive,if nothing gona change ill send it back and ask my money back... mmmm already got an idea about what i might get then ;) well ty mate for nfo, you could get me on this earlier .. would same me a ton's of time ect >.>

Ok then explain why teh company does sell the bundles and even already y build up's with this MB same CPU ect ? Waco or not its no point to be rude if someone is tryn to make a build even if i am not that much experienced with this.Instead of you are an Waco ect you could give me an advice how to ?!

At the same time i gave the stuff ( everything ive got - the hard ware ) to an Specialist who's is experienced enough and even he couldn't do anything with it.

Like i said the CPU were tested on dif. MB and it didn't work

I hope you don't think he was calling you Waco because Waco is the username of another member.

 

His issues lay with unstable bios.

 

Now that you have confirmed that you have an AM3+ mobo have you confirmed that you have the latest bios?

P.S the MB isnt the most expensive one but its not about how expensive things are :P ~ as long as it will work the way it suppose to either way i wont be going for a some massive O.C or more like i wont OC it at all (for now)

 

I know I was praising a cheap one earlier :P

 

 

Did they not fix the Bios by now?

Yes it has/had latest BIOS update on it .. either way like i said before the Specialist ive gave my build - he tested the CPU on another MB and even then the CPU were Ice cold

P.S about the Waco .. ammm at first i thought he's being rude ect but after he posted 2nd reply realized he's talking about someone on forum :) - everything is allright

I know I was praising a cheap one earlier :P

Apparently they haven't :) Or might be they have .. actually no idea ( my problem is faulty CPU) But since the day ive got the bundle were sneaking trough lot's of Forums ect found a lot of complains about FX series CPU's

 

Right now iam waiting for the Tested replacement from company i bought the bundle ... will see how it goes.If i wont be able to make it alive and run I will definitely send it back and ask for my money and while iam waiting already found a Plan B

MB - GA-990FXA-UD3

CPU - AMD Phenom II X4 965 3400MHz 512KBx4 6MB Deneb 45nm C2 140W 4000 FA

RAM - mmm .. maybe you could give any advice about it ?

 

P.S what do you guys think about this one ? ( Corsair 4GB DDR3 1333MHz Non-ECC (9-9-9-24) 1.50V - Core I7, Core I5 And Core 2/AMD Phenom Ii - Dual Channel)

So... are you overclocking, this would help us with RAM :)

Are you getting the 900 series chipset for Piledriver or what?

 

Darn why does it have to be so complicated :D

No i probably not gone do any OC .. just want to keep it in shape for good gaming and another no iam not going for the piledriver

P.S I am Realy sry but i cant give any future nfo nor any type of devitalized description on specified things ( Low exp here )

If you ain't gonna overclock then some normal ram would do, low timings... this RAM is ok, pretty average lowish default timings and is 1.5V so will allows for some nice overclocks when you do decide to OC...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145345

 

Is the CPU that you want an older or second hand one? This one is 125W...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103727

 

And this one CAN be unlocked... it is .4Ghz lower clocked though..

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103995&Tpk=phenom%20ii%20x4%20960t

 

 

 

 

Could get a 970(3.6Ghz stock) for $145 but it ends tomorrow...

 

I'm sorry for presenting you with loads of options...

 

Also do you have a GPU? The board doesn't have an internal one!
