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

The code is Wrong for it to work on the 3A 100%. So im waiting to see if he can fix and send me another. Suposedly its minor Differances in the two Bioses.

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.

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.
we are all waiting for a new bios, or gotvoltage to get the m4a79 bios to work on this board.

Well so far one of the two 801 bioses was able to flash but not boot after flash.

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..

Something is triggering the wake up from standby.Look in BIOS and see what are the settings for wake up from standy.

AOD will allow you to surpass that for now.

There is always a way.

Thanx for posting that Honda,, You reminded me that simply Showing a nice Sreenie is sometimes easier than explaining the whole shibang:D

Note:
Everest and AOD should show the VDD.
VDD is actually the Base Volts,, It mearly helps the Mobo not fluctuate as bad under load(Vdroop under load). The Higher the VDD the stronger(more Stable) the Base Volt will be during load provided im remebering that correctly:D

ok this is wierd I can manually set 1066 in the bios with Auto ram timings....but once I change the timings to 5-5-5-15, then once I load into windows I just freeze....they run fine set on auto timings on mobo M3A79-T with all four dimms

Sorry, but everything is set to "disabled".
i has to be a signal from either the usb mouse or usb keyboard, or it's a bug.
using windows 7 beta btw, maybe this is problem.

That is weird I've been running 4 dimms at 1066 5-5-5-15 since i got the board with the 4 something bios with a phenom 9850, 9950 and now phenom II 940.

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.

HONDAGUY ,, you try 4-5-4 -4 yet. Unganged ,, Timing is from top to bottom CAS,TCWL,TRCD,TRP:D

DEMONKEVY.....is it the PSU in your sig?
Try to test with another PSU ,, It dosnt have to be a big monster ,but any PSU that shows in this range of Volts (3.22v-3.32v )on the 3.3v would indacate ,,

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

Those timings are they for 800-1066 ? Only thing Ive tried was the 4 CAS Ram set at 1066

Can't test with 35x though.. 920.
Will test ACC ASAP, but first some work to do.

I run it on the 800 divider or lower dividers with 1066ram:up: Works very good on 800divder or lower when using high HTT. 1066 mode divider is buggy with low latencies.

Ill post after i test it some more , Along with the Highest HTT i can get with it shortly . It should be identical to 0602 with exception of Multis and higher HTT stability. Those are the main differances so far.

P.S. my experiment with the M4 Bios was a no go. Couldnt get it to boot with out problems. Oh well. Im testing 0701 ATM
