The 870A-UD3 BIOS Explored

The 870A-UD3 BIOS Explored

The 870A-UD3 shares almost the same bios layout as the little 880GMA-UD2H. Of course all the IGP features are missing, but the abundance of ram settings will even satisfy the enthusiast crowd.

Though a again similar remark as with the little brother. Why the lacking HT bios voltage setting ? I don't think it was the culprit of the limited HT OC'ability. As we have seen +300HT clocks on other websites. Both boards are not intended to be big overclockers, but more orientated at the non-enthusiast market. But we at the Shrimps lab like to push the envelope and every little extra we get out of the boards, is considered as a bonus.
