If so, any issues with it, is it necessary (loaded question I know), did your timings have to slow down to get 8 to run smoothly?
I have the Mushkin Redline 8000 and was just 'thinking' of maybe getting another 2x2 set and was curious of possible issues or benefits I would gain.
Thanks
I can load up 6GB of 1066, but that is all I have. And it is Win XP 64Quote:

I just hope that the warranty works.. Damn crappy things argh!! Ffs. And the phenom 2 seems to be little crappy too what it comes to people results.
Sorry to hear about your board :(.Quote:

I was talking about the one review which has 33 pages, dont remember the address but perhaps you know. There seems to be very small performance gain to 9950 .. the positive thing is the OC capability yes.Quote:

Maybe you should wait for some official reviews past the launch date from say lost circuits or even anandtech? Some of their results are not consistent with what we've seen from end users,and that clock to clock comparison with Agena shows that Deneb is even slower than Agena in number of apps which is practically impossible(so the test is not quite correct).I'd expect around 8-10% better performance on average,per clock, than Agena.Quote:

As for the Mhz gain,it depends om cooling used primarily .If you can get a good air or wc kit you are set for 4Ghz,which is impossible for Agena.
The board question: I'm not sure.Maybe there are some users here at XS who own it and can confirm/deny the x16 functionality of the lower slot.I think it's a moot point since these are 2.0 PCIe and they will not bottleneck your card ,even if you have 4870X2 it should be enough.
I definitely hope that its much faster than agena, since my CPU should arrive next week. ;) Here at Finland people could have bought the phenom2 for about 3-4 days and some people do have it and tested, not very much of tests have been revealed but for example there is no difference in 3dmark2006 CPU-test at same clocks.Quote:

Its a little pain in the ass because my plan was to change the 9950BE to another HD4850 and put up a CF, but now it doesnt seem like im doing it.. damn.
And yeah 8x 2.0 PCI-E is enough for one card.. but there is some difference when using more than one.
edit2, do anyone have any idea why my primary slot doesnt work? Or any ideas what to try to get it back online, althought i have tried so many things that I cant even imagine to try something else..
I have to wait another 2 weeks before I can order a 940, but atleast by then the prices might have dropped a bit.
Sadly I've yet to even power up my M3A79-T :( Still waiting on my test gpu to arrive.
@faior You shouldnt have any problem rma'ing the board. If the PCI slot went on it, its brand new right? So long as theirs no mods or anything, shouldnt be a problem. I wouldnt put up with a lost pcie slot, i'd have returned it the moment it happened.
Did same happen to you too? I have mine rmad by wednesday.. Only thing that can be a problem is that the true 120 e cooler scratched the mb.s mosfet sink because it didnt fit :(Quote:

Well I was wondering if i could get some help OCing my processor. My specs are in my sig. I am able to hit 3.330ghz but anything above this, it either hangs up or bsod. I am running bios 0403. my volts are up to 1.500 at a multi of 16.5 with fsb at 200. I was curious how much volts it could handle on air so i left the clock at 3.000 and bumped the volts up to 1.525 with temps maxing at 58c at full load. I am running ram at 800mhz ganged. I would love to hit 3.4 stable without water. Here are some screenies. If you need anything else as far as screen shots let me know. thxs.

It boots into windows and then shuts the power supply off after a couple of minutes. I had a small glycol spill, a few drops slipped by the oring on my block when i was taking the block off. It got suctioned down by the TIM pretty good, and the screws that hold that block together, well they dont really hold that well.Quote:

I didnt time it but the subzero run did seem to last a bit longer. Someone had the idea that maybe some leftover glycol residue was in the socket. I had baked the board in the oven for a few minutes, and the socket seemed very dry, but that doesnt mean its clean. Going to try some electrical contact cleaner when i get a chance. Hopefully that solves it. Some have suggested the PSU, which is what i normally blame first, but its always performed very well. Residue on the contact points of the socket makes a sensible theory though, and i'll see what a proper cleaning does.

Just want to know if I have to get a new bios or not.
Yes BIOS 504 and 602 both support the Phenom II's
Thanks :D I just ordered mine.
Just wanted to know ;)
just got my 940 this morning. itīs a CACVC AC 0848FPAW
not the best stepping afaik. the ones from week 50 and above are much better i heard.
this thing doesnīt like acc at all. it only posts with acc disabled, everything else results in a no post and i have to clear cmos.
iīm playing with it for about an hour now.
200x20 does post but nothing else...
267x15 does post but reboots before loading windows
200x19@1.55v gets me into windows, but prime95 craps out after about 2mins with a bsod (uncorrectable hardware error detected)
now iīm at 200x18@1.4v and doing some stabilty tests...
maybe i need to format, cause vista is giving me that chkdsk bs everytime i restart.
I've got one of these, and I built it a couple of weeks ago with an A64 3500+ :P The 940 BE arrives tomorrow.
I've installed the various Asus software, but I suspect none of it is any use - apart from chipset drivers of course.
Does anyone have a use for PC Probe, and AI Suite etc? I've not looked into it in great detail, but I believe they install services in Windows, which I'm not a super fan of.
Finally the sound card also creates services and a memory resident thing to detect speakers etc being inserted. Since I have a set of headphones plugged in and I don't change from that I've no use for their naff services and shiny lights. Has anyone experimended paring the sound drivers down to the minimum to allow perfect functionality, but without the scrapeware and bloat?
Update your bios to 602, 504 doesn't fully support the 940.
oops.. havenīt updated my sig.. iīm on the 0602 biosQuote:

maybe i was just using the wrong prime95 version. this happened to me when i used an old version with my 9950. i downloaded a x64 version from mersenne.org. seems to work much better now. 200x18@1.425v is priming for 15mins now ;) longest prime run on this chip ever...
4ghz seems out of reach, caus i canīt get it to boot at anything over 3950mhz.
Hmm... I think you should have a little luck getting 3.6 to run on less volts. Not saying stock volts like mine, but less that 1.425 set. Try using the htt to overclock on the 15x or 16x multi. You might be having the same problem I did with the multipliers not working correctly. Since your on x64 though that might be why it needs more volts to do everything.

I know everyone is excited about the new phenoms but i was wondering if anyone could help me push my system any further. i have ordered a true extreme and some 1066 ram and waiting for that to come in but could any of the phenom gurus take a look at my screenies and give me some ideas. i can upload any request information. thanks for looking.Quote:

Is this ACC + Phenom II problem just with ASUS boards?

So you guys are still getting very high overclocks with a Phenom II WITHOUT having to rely on ACC right? I'm asking because I just ordered a PII 940BE and Asus M3a79-T mobo with OCZ DDR2-1066.
i wouldnīt call it very high. iīm stuck at 3.6ghz, but it may also be my cpu :shrug:Quote:

I can do 4.0Ghz with 1.6V on water cooling Super Pi 1 Meg stable and windows stable.
Sweet spots are 3.6Ghz at default vCore to 3.8Ghz with 1.45vCore. Yet to do 3.9Ghz run.:ROTF:

I'll have to play around with cpu-tweak, I didn't even bother touching that option while I was in the bios.
And yeah, voltages from 1.5 and above seem to really start to add heat quick.
I'm sure Asus are working on a new Bios to fix any problems.
I can't wait for my 940 to arrive :D
Got the Phenom II on my board now. Ths speed difference between this and the 3500+ is amazing. No surprise there :P
As far as overclocking is concerned though, I'm not sure where the memory divider is set - if it needs to be.
I'm starting to think that the memory clock is entirely independent of whatever I set as Bus Speed/HT multiplier/Clock multiplier. I just set a memory frequency and it sticks to it?
I have some serious problems with M3A79-T Deluxe and Phenom II 920, and I think it is related to some bad motherboard settings on my part.
I can't get the system to run stable at all, not even with stock speeds and everything (but memory voltage) on auto.
First off, ACC and AOD isn't working well att all. After reading here I can conclude that I'm not alone with those problems, so let's skip that.
After hours and hours of tweaking (who at Asus came up with the brilliant idea to NOT write out standard voltages in BIOS?!) i finally got the system more or less stable with the following settings:
http://pici.se/pictures/tRrQxYQVN.png
http://pici.se/pictures/QMpjauDtA.jpg
NB freq is about 2200MHz and mem about 950MHz (800MHz original, not 1066).
With those speeds SuperPi 1M runs at about 20sec, from what I can read this is pretty norma for about 3.4GHz.
However, in 3DMark i get ~ 4400p as CPU reslut which is almost 1000p less then other results at the same speed.
Overall the performance is much worse then with my old E8400 @ 4GHz. I realize that the E8400 was considerably faster with singel and dual threads, but even in programs that favors multicores, such as 3DMark, my results were better before.
My GFx is a GTX 260, with the old system I got about 17300p and with the new about 16400p.
Right now I feel like I've spent ~$525 on absolutley nothing, any tips you can give me?
You don't need to worry about voltages as much as you are. Many of the options other than vcore, vnb, and ram volts can just be left at auto. Worry about finding the overclock for your cpu before trying to overclock everything together. Try working with just the multipliers first, but remember 18x and above don't work correctly.
Multiplier might be hard as I'm using a 920.. ;)
At first I tried exactly that, just tweaking vcore, vnb and vram, but that rendered the system unstable at everything above 3GHz..
If I lover the vcore just one notch the system crashes all the way down to 3.1GHz..
I will try to bump the NB and HT doown to a minimum and see how high I can get the CPU again.. Last time I got stuck at around 3.3GHz, though, even worse then the current setup.
I have two temperature probes on my heat sink and at those temps wih 985- the heat sink would get up to 41C. but the heat sink never got farther then 30-32C...:shrug:Quote:
Originally Posted by Oldguy932

hmm, most of you seem to be able to reach 3.6GHz with around default vcore just like me, but I cant seem to run stable at anything over that speed no matter what voltage I use. Can you show me what settings you have in the bios to get up to that 3.9 range?
I can reach 2.75GHz notherbridge and HyperTransport speeds, DDR1150, but I am limited to about 3.55GHz to be 100% stable on the CPU cores...
Sorry about that, just took a glance at the screeny and looked more at the bios shot. High htt isn't a problem if you keep your nb and ht link in check. Set the option just below vcore to 1.3v and you should be safe through 2.2-2.3ghz on the nb speed.
Did disabling cpu-tweak have any effects on stability? I still need to figure out some stable setting today or else my first week back at school is going to be spent around the computer and not people. Not to mention I'm going to be installing the Windows 7 x86 beta on here soon when I put a spare hard drive in here.
Disabling CPU-Tweak does not have any effect. The system was posting and getting into Windows at 3.75GHz last night, but not stable at all. Now this morning it wont even post with a speec of anything above 3.6GHz
I found some kind of sweetspot here..
Everything upwards from here creates unstability at some point, the only thing i can do is trade my CR for a lower CL, but from what I saw during benching that made no difference.
Next multiplier for the memory gives a frequency of about 970, that is too much for my 800MHz-sticks.
The NB can take a little more, but the CPU can't. Next step is ~300 as HT ref to aquire the same CPU-speed and higher NB, and that hardly boots..
:)
In the end, I guess I should be happy. It's a decent clock considering I can't change multiplier, and it's rock solid.. Been running dual Prime95 for 2-3h accompanied by looping 3DMark06 without problems. If I apply my 650MHz increase to a 940 it gives about 3,6GHz which is where most people ends up..
SuperPi gives 20 sharp (20.050).
http://pici.se/pictures/pYOwoAhcy.png
But what is the latency difference between CL at 6 w/ 1T CR and CL at 5 w/ 2T CR? It might be the same overall speed in benching, but if the latency is a lot different then you should pick whichever has the lower latency.
Actually C&Q 3 has 4 default P-states and goes down to .8v, full features allow users to manually set their own P-states.Quote:

Someone i know that actually hasAsus M3A79-T Deluxe said ACC works fine as well just best to not enable it with the voltage jacked up high, and apply ACC per core. I've been able to squeeze an extra 450mhz from ACC, but it's trial and error to get it to work sometimes.Quote:

seems as oldguy was right, the high multis donīt work that well. or it is the imc that doesnīt like 1066ddr2 at higher clocks.
Can I get a list of stock Phenom II voltages? I don't know what to trust anymore. I'm looking mainly for NB, HTT, etc..
Anyone here has a TRUE mounted? If so, can you post a picture of how it looks?
From what I understand it covers the first memory slot AND must be mounted facing up or down.. Still interested though as the local computershop has one in stock..
