Overclocking and AoD 3.1

AMD’s Black Edition Memory Profile (BEMP) feature is now properly implemented the 890GX motherboards. Two things are needed, a new revision of AMD Overdrive and a new BIOS. The new revision of AMD Overdrive 3.1 (version 376) can be seen above on our Gigabyte 890GPA-UD3H motherboard.
