Ahhhh, i see now! ill try putting it on the 1066 divider tonight. i will also try to loosen up the main timings, and bump upp the chipset voltage. i miss the athlon xp days when it comes to timings. thanks gOtVoltage!

Hey guys. I've seen ACC options in the BIOS for this board, pictured here: BIOS Screenie from Review, but I've scoured through my BIOS and I can't seem to find it: Picture of My BIOS. I'd rather not tweak using AOD because it seems like its values and the BIOS values are always different and conflicting. I saw a couple posts in this thread relating to the issue, but I didn't see a response. Anyone have some insight on this?
I not 100% shure but ,, Any B2 processor will enable the TLB Fix code and thus it will Disable ACC when a B2 chip is installed. The FIX and ACC i dont think go hand in hand on this Mobo.Quote:

Also what Version Bios is this? Try 602 and or 703 Bios See if the option Changes. I really think its tied to the 9500's TLB Patch code,, Affects B2chips Only not B3,, So A 9550/9650/9750/9850/9950/PHII940 and up will All Show ACC with No TLB Fix Option..
Well ACC definitely works using AOD because without it I can only get 2.5Ghz tops and with it on auto, I can get around 2.8Ghz. Also, I honestly don't know why Asus even includes the TLB Fix option because I've had the fix disabled and it's still enabled when I check in Windows. I have to use the TLB Patch Disable Tool. Could someone with the 703 BIOS take a picture so I can verify that the feature is supported on this board, just not on my configuration? For now, I'll go bug Asus about it.
press F4 in the cpu configuration bios there is hidden part for that. it's the microcode up date one I believe.Quote:

This would be Disable for B2 wouldnt it ?.(602 -0703 Bioses)
For the Phenom II we set Microcode Updation to DISABLED right?
Same performance wise with B3 and New PHenomII's,, Disabling i see makes no Differance.Quote:

Hmm ,,MicroCode updation i though was just how the Bios reads what CPU .Quote:

Are you thinking of ((CPU TWEAK = DISABLED ))?? Can make things more stable and may allow for Higher Oc .
Disabling CPUTweak= Optimizations get reduced /disabled by (BIOS)cripplling the CPU a hair when doing so, slowing Cache performance at minor cost.
Hope i said that correct.:D
Just a little update, I finally stopped memtest86+ after about 23 hours of running all 4 sticks of ocz platinum 1066MHz and there was not a single error. So I think its safe to say that this mobo can run 8gigs at 1066MHz, at least with this memory.
Damn, I thought the F4 secret would enable ACC :( The microcode option did finally disable the TLB fix though. Thanks.
The 9x00's series doesn't have ACC
ACC came about because of the problems with the 9x00's
Hi all!
this is my first post!! :D :D
I am Andres from Argentina :P far away :p jejejeje
I have some question and maybe you can help me = )
1)
I have an Old pc..
Amd Athlon 5000 BE + TRUE 120 +Ultra Kaze 133 CFM :D :D
Mother M2n Sli delux ( nice mobo)
Gskill Pi edition 2x2 GB 1066.
I want to sell it and buy a news parts.. I have 2 options could you please tell me which for you is better :D
AMD PHenom II 940 BE + True 120 ultra kaze
ASus M3A79-T delux I think with that cooler I can reach 3.6 with luck 3.8 (I think but you know more than I jeej)
OR..
INTEL Q6600 G0 true... (is older I know but is a great)
GA UP45 - UD3P With that I can Reach 3.6
which sistem do you think is better amd or Intel?? be honest please = )
------------------------
And the other question is simple..
this mother ASus M3A79-T delux has 3 PCI-E x16... Can I connect an Asus Xonar d2x (pci-e x1) in some of the PCI-E x 16 or those PCI-E x16 they are only for video card?? someone know that?
THanks in advance

the m3a79-t deluxe has 4pcie slots. they are not only for video cards, so you can stick into them whatever card u want.
I know I am in AMD but I see alot of guys with both system AMD and Intel = )Quote:

Thank you!! = )
Hi Kiyu, welcome to XS. How are things en Argentina? :DQuote:

The Q6600 is a great upgrade from your x2, but in reality its not really all that great anymore compared to what is out there now. If you can save some cash, get a Phenom II 940, and the ASUS M3A79-T motherboard is a great board. I had one but I killed it installing a water block. Now I just decided to try something else.
However, that board is very very solid, PWM is superb and will give you very very nice clocks on your cooler :up:
I just got back finally my 2nd RMA'd board today and will start messing with it again, but wanted to get your thoughts on my NB cooling (ASUS 4 Acetal WB).
With my 1st board I took all the stock cooling off and used some Enzotech's for the Mosfet and the SB and the WB for the NB.
It was just a pain IMO to deal with the additional items (not really, but just being lazy) and the fact the the NB chip is so small for the WB and the little resistors (chips) whatever around the chipset don't get any contact. So I am thinking for laziness and maybe there is some benefit, but I want to put the block ontop of the stock NB and zip tie it to it. :eek: I think it will cool the whole unit somewhat nicely.
The question I have is do I need to put any sort of thermal grease or pad to put them together? Since the Asus emblem is a little lower I was thinking about putting a piece of thermal pad to at least make it a little more level, but beyond that did not know if there would be a conductivity potential with this setup.
Thoughts?
Go to any Art store and try to find Needed rubber. (Soft Eraser that act like silly putty.)Quote:

Just dont cover up NBchip thats for the thermal paste:D Just make 4 seperate strips kinda like (electrical tape width) and lay em down around right up to the NBsides.
Sorry to ask
Can this board set to run 1T timing mode ??
It seems NEVER work out right with my Team Xtreme DDR2-1066 CL5 1GBx2 kit OR Kingston Hyper-X 2GB x2 DDR2-1066
Everytime I set 1T, it goes NO BOOT and I have to clear CMOS in order to get it boot again
Both set of RAM works FINE with my Jetway 790GX board @ 1T (DDR2-667 ONLY , DDR2-800 only goes 2T )
I think it's pretty hard to get any RAM running at 1T @ DDR2-1066Quote:
