Asus M3A79-T Deluxe

I played AMD M/B after a few years interval.
It seems to be very stable and good M/B.
It is a pity that this CPU is unsuitable for LN2.
BIOS was simple and easily-handled.:)

I think one was able to use LN2 on a phenom but it was only -20C

Really nice!

yes we know:D

Nice clocks but why did you open a new thread? Somebody has already done it few days ago: http://www.xtremesystems.org/Forums/...d.php?t=199872

OOOOOOOOO's and Ahhhhh's .. I knew some would get 3.6ghz soon with a new Mobo...

Props:up:

what is ram speed, duck? & btw nice clocks and insane volts!!

Ln2? Guessing liquid nitrogen but making sure

Yes, on an OC board, LN2 will always mean "liquid nitrogen".

is it easier to overclock the bus speed with this board?

wondering if i should swap out my M3A32 for this board. for higher clocks

anybody what to buy a m3a32-mvp deluxe.wifi board? haha

Have you noticed if ACC makes a difference?

For many it seems to. For me (on the non-deluxe version) I didn't see any real difference. There was a thread a while back about it and people were reporting increases of 100-300 MHz.

Just curious Particle, did you try the new "0306" bios on the M3A78-T, and did it help with OC'ing your 9850?

I sold mine... I know it was a knee-jerk reaction but a friend wanted the board and I was a little PO'd that they rushed it to market with a poor Bios (0204) that didn't seem to support ACC... :(

Anyone read the review of this mobo on the Trusted Reviews site: http://www.trustedreviews.com/mother...79-T-Deluxe/p1

What a poor review, it really doesn't do the mobo justice, its clear that the reviewer has no idea what they are doing IMO, or at least hasn't bothered to spend the time to work out any issues.

Makes no mention of the system components used to review the mobo, like HDD (SATA/IDE/AHCI/RAID etc). Their attempt at OC'ng was nothing more than amateurish, they said they couldn't get AOD to OC using the multiplier, though they were using the provided AOD v.2.1.2 not the latest v.2.1.3 and then they failed to even try to OC via the multi in the BIOS, and the reviewer infers that the BIOS only allows OC'ng via the HTT ref clock, making no mention of being able to OC via the multi, and they didn't even manage to enable ACC, they mnake no mention of what BIOS version they are using or any available BIOS settings.

Honestly how do these people ever get reviews published on a site with a name like Trusted Reviews, there is much more trustworthy information avialable here in the forums. This is the second review of a mobo done on that site by 2 different reviewers and both have been equally as poor, the 1st being the M3A78-T now this one for the M3A79-T

All the info they provided can easily be gotten from reading the product description on the box, the review is a total waste of space IMO....

Yes, I tried the 0304 BIOS with my 9850. I think ACC was actually working in that release as it behaved differently, but I didn't find a good combo of settings before giving up. I was unable to reap any benefits. It's not a bad board other than that though. I put it in my HTPC.

I didn't have any problems with OC from BIOS. Everything works fine. There is opportunity to change multi and ACC from BIOS level.

Anyway - here you can download BIOS ver 0401

Mine went down to -35°C and had no issues booting. It's really a cpu/mobo combination :(

I keep seeing screenshots of the M3A79 and its brown like this one or its jet black. Seeing the difference in user reviews, online shops and ASUS's website. Weird.

Yes I'ver noticed the same thing as well....

I'm hoping to get a black one myself when they do finally become available, the PCB color is actually quite improtant to me, its one of the reasons (well other than the stupid price) that I havn't gone for the Foxconn mobo I really don't like the red pcb used by Foxconn....

I know its a but silly, but its one of the things I like about the ASUS boards, the black PCB's used for the high end mobos, like the M3A32-MVP and the M2N32-SLI Deluxe...

Most of the brown PCB's I had seen until recenetly were for the M3A78-T mobos, and I thought that the black PCB had been kept back for the M3A79-T, but I've seen a few M3A79-T mobos now with brown PCB....

I just hope I'll get a black one I guess...!!!

I was in the same dilema. I really don't like the brown and I'm picky about the color of my components in my system. I canceled my order on newegg cause I'm waiting to see if the PCB is Brown or Black, and for the 125w 9950's. I'd also like to see what DFI has to offer but I really hope that it has a black PCB. My P5Q-Deluxe had a blackish PCB but when light shined on it it did look brownish but
not as brown as my P5E-VM HDMI.

You guys are not alone... brown PCB is hideous and I hate it with a passion. I have no idea why even Asus bothers to make them look like crap when people buy cases with side windows. I ordered mine from the Egg today and should get it tomorrow with overnight shipping... I'm really hoping it's not brown. I'll let you guys know.

Come on Asus... no more brown please!
