Nice run,, I tell ya B3's are still fun and well @ 3.5 perform very good. I cant wait till i grab something like 940/945/950 or...... im gonna see what Feb brings before my next impulse buy. Usually i would of had a 940 already tweaked.
So much New stuff ,,so fast from AMD . I may see if i can tweak the M3A into a M4's , i think i may be on to something but not shure .... I need to read a few more specs then maybe flash time.
The only 3 things i could think that would be buggy is the lan/ Audio/ ACC code i..But wont know until i flash.:wasntme:
I have the new Bios im just contemplating with my beer and Rebooting to Flash:rofl: 3A to 4A
Send it my way:up: I'll flashQuote:

The Lan or Audio code may be making it incompatable to boot after the flash. thinks the lan is hanging the boot . I have another M3A chip with 602 bios so wasnt to afraid to try it.. I dont know if he can get it to work but finger crossed any way.
Will let ya know.
ur going to use the m4a79 bios thatīs available for download on the asus site, or do u tweak the bios to fit the m3a79-t?Quote:

Hello Guys , is M3A79-T DELUXE have a limit on Max Multipler ??
I heard from one of my friend (AMD Fan BTW) at other forum complaint about this
He got a Phenom II x4 940 ES and the max multipler he can set is 20x
Does that happen to Retail version to Phenom II x4 940 or it's just the board BIOS Limit ?
Thank you
yes.. 20x is the max in bios for now.Quote:

My friend thinks it is a incompatability with the Audio and lan that is used on M3A vs M4A.
If this is the case it will be a no go and will have to wait for updated Bios.
In all ,, Dont try the officail Bios for M4 on M3 (It wont work period.) ,, Even if you unlock it,, then it will hardlock PC after Flash. My friend is trying to figure why it will flash but not boot..
If he gets it to run for me,, ill use it and Post here first..
As for 20x multi ASUS is suppose to have that raised in next Bios Release . Although the M4A is new flagship they will still update M3A for 945/950 and so forth. Both Mobos are AM2+ and the M3A is proven .
Thats the One thing with ASUS is Bioses are slow to be released.
Ill see if Polygon has any info on this as well..
when using the standby of windows, my pc always returns on his own from standby after some minutes?!
does anyone have the same problem?
Something is triggering the wake up from standby.Look in BIOS and see what are the settings for wake up from standy.Quote:

Jaivan: Thanks for the post after seeing your post I was able to figure out what I was doing, I was manually setting the (TRC) to 20, worked in other mobo. TRC now is set on auto and I am able to get 5-5-5-15 now on 4 dimms @1066........Thanks
I'm getting low cmos on boot up, I just changed the battery and I'm still getting.
maybe Power supply is dying now ?
my bios is showing my 3.3 volt is low but it has been for sometime it's been 2.85 for a while but now it's 2.95 and now I'm getting this, cmos low :wth:
I don't think it save my settings either.
it won't boot if I change anything in the bios.

Your PSU may have Flown south for the winter.
I know that the 12v shows 10v normally with any Bios on My PSU but my 3.3 and other volts are all Normal. Not Low. Im using only a 650watt PSU MAXED.
P.s.
ive had new dead batteries before .
also make shure your CMOS pin is in the Save position not CLEAR. Ive done that many times ( On Accident)with out hurting my Mobo's.:D
I managed to acquire bios 0701 for you:
download
Allows multi up to 35x in BIOS.
enjoy :up:
Well i think i have gone Blind cause i cant find no one that has this board with a x4 940 on AIR and overclocked
Im right here:p:Quote:

my cmos low batter went away, but that's after I dumped my drink in to my computer :/ and it went in to the power supply hit the video card and the physic card. Had to dry it out let is sit (thanks for the low humidity furnace lol) put it back together and 3.3 volts rail shows 3.25 volts now lol.
I ran out of thermal grease so I'm trying my idea of cooking oil it's actually working pretty good too lol ( I will get some new grease)
new bios is nice since I couldn't get 28.5 multiplier for no reason
Oh bummer ,, at least its working...Ive only done that with Beer(partyfoul):DQuote:

Even Low latency on my ram still works..Im still trying to see what the Highest HTT i can run. For now i was making shure my Setting for 24/7 use still work, so thats a plus so far.
Will post back soon with more results.
oh and ACC still works with B3,, i dont have PHII to test with.
Note:
Maybe ACC could be used now on PHII allthough PHII is optimized with out it on M3A79-T?.
http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u...biosM3A79T.jpg
http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u...M3A79Tbios.jpg
Some observations from me:
1. ACC is disabled (not even visible in BIOS) with Phenom II, both AM2 and AM3 (hint :D)
2. Somehow max selectable Vcore is 1.45V ?
3. Max htt with Phenom II 940: 320 on air 100% stable, 325 at -50°C
4. Sometimes after OC fail it has to be powered on and off several times before it posts.
We did 5741 MHz with PII 940 with this bios version, so I guess it's pretty good :D The CPU was a dud tho :(

The cool part is that i can achieve 100mhz higher NB with higher ram and CPU HTT than the 0602 .
This Bios so much tweaked better than 0602 hands down.
ACC works with B3.
Overall 0602 to 0701:yepp:
0602 ,,,, Max Ram with 2630nb...( this screenines is with 0701 but set same as 602)
http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u...biosM3A79T.jpg
0701,,,,Wow is all i can say 100+ on my overall NB now that i thought would be impossiable .. even @ 4-4-4-15 timing and slightly higher ram clocks than above....Priceless NB on my B3.

Hmmmm you got me wondering is i can do the same with mine
i have the Zalman 9700 with 7x120mm fans
is this what you got
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835233023
the HSF you got is an Xigmatec 1284EE will that fit into my case cosmos 1000
any thoughts or suggestion you can give me since were both on AIR
What do all of your CPUs idle at with the STOCK AIR COOLER? Mine idles at 40c at 3.0Ghz. I think it is time finally to get my Coolermaster Hyper 212 mounted because those temps seem way too high. BTW, this is with CPU Tweak Enabled (running cache at full power - extra heat).
seem a tad high but not too much it's only a stock cooler.Quote:

Okay, limitations I have found with 920 and M3A79-T Deluxe..
* Multiplier is locked (no suprise).
* NB multiplier is locket (no suprise again).
* Can't set higher VCORE then 1.500 in BIOS, this is with both 0602 and 0701 (this is a suprise).
* Can't change VCORE at all with AOD, the controller simply doesn't exist.
* ACC, while not working anyway, isn't visible in any BIOS version.
well, multies are unlocked downward :)Quote:

You need to DISABLE Vcore Voltage monitoring in the Bios(so you dont get Overvolt warning to allow for more voltsQuote:

yup thats the Heatsink.....your case is 10.5" wide so it will fit....my case is only 8.5" wide and theres a 36cm fan on the side panel (inside and takes about 1 1/2 inch of space) and I cannot close my side panel all the way:shakes:Quote:

Look here:

Every bios is exactly 1024kB, that's the size of flash rom chip.
As you can see from gotvoltage's comments, it's fine and even better than 0602.
OK, I'll downlaod again, maybe it was a fluke. It was just over 800 bytes.Quote:

if you still cant get the volts higher ,,Try loading OPtimized defaults,, then do a Clear CMOS. Sometimes when flashing a new Bios you can easily forget to Clear CMOS after Flashing. I had to clear three times in row with some Bioses on Boards before they worked good

CAS ,, 4
TCwl ,, 5
Trcd ,, 4
TRP ,, 4
Leave eveything else on Auto even TRC...and yes you must use 4-5-4-4 for it to work , dont set 4-4-4-4 timing.
This will set 4-4-4-15 on any ram up to 1100mhz ..
The little lower Latency may help ya bust 17's,,
Hope it works for ya.
P.S. works on 0602 and 0701 Bios 800 or lower ram divider.
Tried now, no luck.. Just so you know exactly how I mean, I compiled a very professional movie.Quote:

Nice work... Tweaking Phenom is always time consuming and a challenge for that nice Oc.
I get my highest clocks by changing one setting at a time...:up:
charged3800z24, is that with 0701?
What htt voltage are yall on? My 940 wont do 250htt * 15 (3750mhz) at 1.30v but it will do 200*19 (3800) just fine on vcore bump alone..
That is why I like the Phenom, both I and II. I never get bored tweaking them. :yepp: As always I appreciate your input. I am think about getting this ram HereQuote:

So indeed its the Phenom IICPU that exclusively allows use of Higher HT/NB 5200+ despite the HTT of Mobo.
if my eyes are seeing correct your @ HT2900+ which = 5800+ ht's :D.
Can you try and run something like 3DMark06 to see if a ht link that high makes any difference?Quote:

but lets think about this now.........ddr 2 may not be able to take advantage of the ht/nb speeds above 2400/2600mhz
this scenario reminds me exactly of what happens in 3dm06 when you have a major bottlneck if the cpu is too weak no matter how much you overclock the graphics card your score wont go up.
could this happen between the NB and memory speed?? will ddr3 let ht/nb performance increase. Or am I totally wrong and the problem was the cpu speed not utilizing the ht/nb speeds??
Or could I have just fudged up the whole test:rofl:
lots of questions:shrug:

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...771/wprime.jpg
It seems that with fast DDR3 (>1333) NB speed is bottlenecking memory performance. ~2800MHz NB is needed to see proper scaling of performance with memory speed.Quote:

Perhaps, I never really tested DDR2 scaling with NB freq. Try different RAM speeds + different NB freq at Sandra 2009 memory benchmark or Everest Memeory test.Quote:

I was just trying to see if I could have 3000HT and 3000NB at near 4ghz cpu :p: My ram being low was a big factor, when I have it higher, I do also get better scores. I think If I could get the best of both worlds I would see good results. I might see if I can.Quote:

I has to do with how ASUS coded the Bios for 1066 vs 800.,,
No matter what brand ram i use ,,
THEY ALL DID faster times with 5-5-5-15 on 800divider @ 1066mhz
( Instead of using) 1066divder @ 1066mhz. 5-7-7-20 default for 1066 on this mobo.
So with that in mind ,,You could go for the gusto and try higher HTT with HT3000/NB3000 @ 4gig ,,just use different ram divider if all possiable to obtain 1066mhz ram. Matter of fact even if its lower than 1066mhz it may even allow you to run 4-4-4-15 timing ,,Who knows.
Phenom is definatly fun to tweak ,, different every day:D
Note: Maybe start @ 260htt and what ever it takes for 3000ht/NB while using the 800ram divider = 1040mhz right @ 260htt..I so wish i had i 940 right now lol....
So what's the word on the pcb color?

Hoping to get a black one then.
Do black ATI based cards exist?

Another question, does the M3A79-T deluxe come with a backplate that i can screw my threads in for my d-tek fuZion?
yes. it comes with a solid backplate.Quote:

The XFX ATi cards may be black but there are many xx70X2 cards that are red so thats not true.Quote:

I did a quick search, but did not see if you need to do a BIOS update for this board to use a 940BE.
Is this needed? If yes, normal BIOS utility update will work? If no, any other options besides getting a newer board?
Thanks
940 BE should work with 0602 bios. Also, BIOS-based flash utility is perfect if you want to flash to 0701.
What is the word on the street for the 0701 bios and the 940? Good bad indifferent?Quote:

I had to RMA mine and actually had 0602 installed. Phenom II 940 worked fine with it. I have went to 0701 since and have had no issues yet.Quote:

well here is my first stable results. I have hit 4.2ghz with 1.5v valid and Super PI 1M ran. that was all I did @ 4.2.Quote:

phenomII is officially supported since bios 0504.Quote:

cdnbum88, remember 0701 is a beta BIOS, it was made available here with absolutely no warranty and you use it on your own risk.
Thus your board cannot come back from RMA with 0701 flashed.
But it works perfectly fine, for some even better than 0602.
I'm loving this 0701 bios. Getting better reference speed OCs while using less voltage on my 9850
where can i get this BIOS??? right now my 940 wont overclock for crap. i cant do ANYTHING w/o the board either not posting, or windows failing to even get to the scrolling status screen
Hellow guys
I recieved the mobo long time ago and installed it too but I didn't tweak anything, and yesterday I upgraded the CPU to Phenom II 940 BE... when I went to change the RAM timing I found every thing complicated for me as there's some technical things I just saw it now and I don't know anything about them
my RAM is Corsair DDR2-800 5-5-5-12 1T, but this is the default, it can be 4-4-4-18 2T @ 2.1v and I have to set these manually, I did this already tens of times on my older mobo M2N32-SLI Deluxe WiFi, but M3A79-T Deluxe include a lot of details that I just saw now
currently, I know I have to set timing as follow
CAS = 4
Trcd = 4
Trp = 4
Tras = 18
ofcourse this is after setting 2T and upping the voltage to 2.1v...
but there's other settings I don't know like tRFC(x) which is valued with (ns) so it's just timing also but in nano-seconds which I don't know too what !!
and what about Primary and Secondary ( DCT0 & DCT1 )
and all other things that can be set already like tWR but I know nothing about them !!
BIOS 0701 is available here.Quote:
