Hello All, I own a GA-990FXA-UD3 (v 3.0) motherboard in a complete system. I am attempting to try different settings in the BIOS, but some settings cannot be adjusted. I would like to adjust certain settings to default first and then set to manual later.
I believe I would first load defaults and save then set to XMP for the ram kit that I have installed. When I do this the CPU speed slows down from its default of about 3.5 GHz down to 2.2 GHz (according to User benchmark software). It was on this
website that I was advised to enable XMP for my memory and when I experienced worse performance in the benchmark. I did a google search and found a video that advised to change the CPU multiplier (this setting will not change). I assume this
CPU or BIOS version does not allow for certain adjustments or is locked somehow. I realize this set up is a bit out of date, but it does work as a general purpose PC. I will next list the PC specs in detail if there is someone who can shed some light on
this problem for me.
Full Specifications:
MOBO: GA-990FXA-UD3 (v4.0)
CPU: FX6300
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1650 4GB driver 461.09
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LP DDR3 2 x 4 GB
OS: windows 10 20H2 64 bit fully updated
PSU: Seasonic Focus 650 watt
SSD: Samsung 640 500 GBIOS version: F3A or F4A will update to make sure.
More infor to follow along with any updates.
thanks in advance Matt
