ECS A790GXM-A Review

"Overclocking the ECS board is quite easy using the Motherboard Inteligent BIOS on the ECS A790GXM-A. All of the options you need to change are right there in front of you. The thing is that when overclocking this board you might have a problem with a processor that does not have an unlocked multiplier. No matter what I did and how much I pushed the boards voltages and tweaked the settings it would not boot and remain stable over 200MHz. Pushing the multiplier on the Phenom X4 9850 to 16x gave me a 700MHz overclock but that was it. I could not get anything else out of this one so that is where the overclocked tests will be run at 3.2GHz (200x16)."
