Yes i'am on water but i need a biger radiator to run prime when using 1.63v . Like i said early thay why i stop at 3.2 it take a ton of volts to make that next jump up to 3.3 .I can run 3.2 at 1.53v and prime will run in the upper 50c wicth is NP .Now ChrisB17 you are using a 9950 so i think you be able to get 3.3 with lower volts than my 9850 .
I have tryed but I cant seem to get it stable enough. Anyways I wish this bios would let me run my ram at 5-5-5-12 instead of 5-5-5-15. Any one know when P06 is coming?
has any one heard anything about a new bios for a79a-s. the nb volts i think are to high even at the lowest settings. 1.6 volts. my 940 is running prime stable so far at 3.5ghz. running vista64 and crashing alot due to overclocking, i decided to install windows 7 beta. is any one running windows 7 out there and overclocking with there phenom 940 or 920. having alot of fun and 7 is 64 bit
Foxconn dosen't do there volts for the NB the same way all the other board maker do . I run my 9850 with 2400 NB & HT link speed all the time and i have the NB set at 1.95v . I also have the HT set 1.34v and run those volts on my 24/7 clock .I'am also running vista-64 trouble free with the 9850 i see what happen Tuesday should have my Ph II 940 by then . As of right now i have not heard a thing as to when they will have the new bios out but maybe SoF know some thing.
Anyone try to see if this board BSOD's coming out of sleep in vista? I'm curious to see if any of it happens to you guys.
merrk1,that makes me feel better about the volts. i am running all chipset volts as low as i can set them and the 940 likes it.just ran prime at 3.5 for 2hrs15min. running 3.6 is where i have problems. my luck was not good with my 9850 either on this board only 3.1 in vista64
Dang it... still can't find the S03 bios anywhere on the net.
Guess I'll have to start out using the P05 bios with the PHII.
Dang them. Not even a leaked beta to be found.
I hear you on that Keithlm i have my Ph II 940 tomarow and i see how it gose .
Nevermind::::
Update:
P06 Available On The Website! YES... the 782F1P06 bios for the A79A-S
Good timing. I can update now... and have the board all ready when fedex comes by in the morning.
YAY!!!!!

Can you post the link . I do not see it out at Foxconn web site .
It is an aspx website... so there is no link other than the main site:Quote:

Then you have to select:
Motherboards
Socket AM2+/AM2
A79A-S
(and then hit the search button)
(OR you could type in A79A-S in the KEYWORD field on the right side, select BIOS then hit that search button.)
Apparently they added SO much stuff that it scrolled off the first page... but it IS on the A79A-S only page. NOPE... it was on the page if you searched by hand... NOW it is on the front DOWNLOAD page.
UPDATE:
The P06 apparently has the Phenom II timings/strings/etc. Which will be good for me when I get my PHII 940 in the morning.
BUT::: It does NOT have fixes for a few of the bugs I already know about: (And I have reported to Foxconn even though they have apparently ignored me and closed the online trouble tickets even though the problems still exist.)
1. The fan controller is always on FULL SPEED if you use a fan with only a 3 pin connector. (Fans with the four pin connectors DO correctly change speed.)
2. If you set the EPP "OPTIMIZED" setting in bios it will never post and continually beep requiring a bios clear/reset. (I think it is trying to put it in 1T mode... but that is only a guess.)
Host it, it's not there.Quote:

Seems like they took it down......get it while you can guys.

EDIT: LOL Their website is coded horribly. If you click reload a few times it magically appears if you're paranoid about my link.
Thank you for the link guys
Yeah that's what I remarked as well. They told me a new bios is on its way but think they will do nothing about the EPP issue yet.Quote:

Oh well.
It's still only showing the BIOS from September for me.
Aren't you in Australia? So you should have seen it on the website yesterday.Quote:

I have my PHII 940 running at stock doing a few hours of prime95 just to verify stability at stock. It is running 45C at full load.
BTW: Fedex > UPS. (Fedex delivers overnight shipments at about 9:00am. UPS delivers at about 7:00pm.)

Have you try the link Blah4u3 put up it should be there .
I tried the new BIOS last night. My first experience with it so far has been bluescreens at stock settings. I think I'll go back.
Wow... I didn't see any difference at all. Well other than the settings for NB and HT are separated.Quote:

And I REALLY like using C'n'Q at 3.6Ghz. It works just fine with not seen problems. I can even leave it on when I run various applications and not really see any degradation in speed. (With the older CPU I had to turn it off or you would REALLY notice the system being "jerky".)
I was able to get 3.665 1.45v with the P06 bios how the P05 bios work for Particle ?
It was working pretty well really. I was in the neighborhood with 3.6GHz coming fairly easily. I could also do up to the 3.8s for simple stuff--my main enemy was thermals under load. It would work for a while but get too hot and BSOD eventually.
Particle & Keithlm you guys using vista-64 also ? If so maybe 3.6-3.7 is what you get when using the vista-64 on the Phenom II
