    baked my motherboard, all is fine now, its a crosshair iv using beta bios for bulldozer, 300mhz fsb at 4.5ghz is stable, going for 320mhz fsb and 4.65 ghz today, still makes alittle noise but its working now ever since i baked the board, im sure this doesnt use as much voltage as my 140w phenom...

    Games crash at splash screen with 8120.

    well i checked every single tiny thing to the T, and its gatta be the board.... the thing is - the board was FINE until i installed the bulldozer... ive heard people having all sorts of troubles with putting bulldozers on this board... i should have never bought a bulldozer and saved my board...

    Games crash at splash screen with 8120.

    I cant pinpoint the noise, i thought it was cpu but now im thinking its the chipset on my motherboard, because a core would stop working on my phenom ii 965be when i put it in, and now its doing the same thing for bulldozer!!! it only happens after i play a game for about a half hour !!! then i...

    weird motherboard problem!!! help! one core not working no matter what

    I have a crosshair iv extreme motherboard, and for some reason it passes prime95 with both of my processors phenom ii 965be, and fx8120 BOTH work fine, prime95 passes. i can run it for hours. But as soon as i play a game or something, and then close it, a thread will hang on cinebench, and if i...

    Games crash at splash screen with 8120.

    yeah, i have a hope that they may send me a 8150 this time, i hear they are binning alot of 8120's that should have been 6 core or 4 core cpus since they failed to go as 8150. i think i was able to overclock so high with such a low voltage because one core was not drawing much power since it was...

    Games crash at splash screen with 8120.

    no, its not just overclocked man.... stock voltage/ stock clock/ stock everything, i noticed the games still didnt work right .... thats when i realised, prime95 wouldnt pass on stock voltage either. Ive found actually numerous people with fx-8120's having the same problem at stock voltage...

    Games crash at splash screen with 8120.

    I also assume since i had a defective chip, it allowed me to goto high frequencys on very low voltage because one core wasnt working properly from day 1. From day 1 i had problems in certain games like i described in my first post.

    Games crash at splash screen with 8120.

    sorry you did set me off, because you were acting like i fried it, and from the horses mouth you said over 1.5 volts they can sustain, like i said i DID NOT put it over 1.4volts even. if anything 1.42 volts max ive ever put into it. And from day 1 it made a strange noise. Thats what set me off...

    wow, its obvious its a bad chip, and your still going on about it ?Im overclocker. Your a noob defending amd because you got a good chip, unlike the rest who are mad that they got defective chips. Get real man. AMD sent out some bad chips this run. Its obvious, and if you wasted 200+ dollars on...
