This Biostar doesn't seem to have any problems with 18.5 and 19 multis, but the power section can't handle the required v's for very long (over 1.45).
Sounds like it's not that big of a problem, hopefully Asus will give us a bios update soon..

Can't post a pic, but yeah.....it's BIG, covers the first ram slot, and only orients only up or down. I've got one on an EVGA 590/5000BE combo. You can only use standard height ram.....anything taller and you'll need to cut the ram heatsink to get it under the 120. Check out this Sunbeam Core Contact cooler review on Frostytech......Quote:

If I was in the market for a heatsink/fan, this is what I'd be looking at......cools great, doesn't cover ram, orients east and west.:D
kinda random but does anyone know if this is the only mobo that will run 4 sticks @ 1066 or do any other boards do it?
There is a supposed limitation in the IMC that only supports 'one dimm per channel' at 1066. I say 'supposed' because some people have successfully run four sticks. It isn't a motherboard thing, it's the CPU. I'm running 4x1 G.Skill 1066 by dropping the ram down in bios and jacking the bus speed up.....1000 ddr2.
All i do is set it to 1067 and 5-5-5-15 @2.1v in bios
has anybody been able to break the 4ghz mark stable for 24/7? Just curious because that is what AMD said this chip was capable off on air.
not I . It craps out with anything over 3.7gig on my setup
ACC is broken also. We really need a new bios.
Now i know why they sent 790GX board with the PII to reviewers
Check out ASUSes QVL (qualified vendor list): Memory Configurations for M3A79-TQuote:

I'm think I'm running memory problems, but they OC above 1066mhz 1120mhz wouldn't got stable. even with votls at 2.3 but stable at 1,.98 at 1,100mhz :shrug:Quote:

I'm working up to your 4.2ghz currently I'm at 3.5ghz.
yeah,AOD ACC might help us although I do have plans for an NV780A though.Quote:

thanks for the input guys.
ya i think all the boards can do that (if htt goes that high) but i meant at the 1066 dividerQuote:

Guess I'll look for that AOD.ini mod to allow 1.55v's in AOD even though it killed my MSI DKA790GX... :shakes:
I'm pretty sure this Asus has a much beefier PWM section than the MSI did..
the PWM on the M3A79-T is great!Quote:

I'm at 3.75ghz at 1.55 volts. Idle is much lower then the last time I tried this with multiplier.
42C last time was like 50C...
If only they will overclock with less voltage, that would be awesome. How high in voltage have people taken the P II's already on water or air????Quote:

Maybe its needed with the new chip :shrug:Quote:

cpu tweak is another thing that doesnīt work properly.. i had to disable it too, to get 3.7ghz stable. when enabled i canīt even boot into windows at my settings.Quote:

CPU Tweak works here, with it on each CPU @ 800Mhz.. with 1.0 voltsQuote:

it's not working at all for me at all :wth:
I have had it up to 1.66 on water for at least an hour benching. Does not seem to mind it a bit.Quote:
