Asus M3A79-T Deluxe

@ nanohead in the overdrive folder change the maximum vcore setting to 1 in the preferences xml.
This should give u 1.55 max.
It worked for me.

Be careful but because aod seems to add voltage when u up the voltage if u are not in 1.3v from bios (original setting in aod).

Thanks leoy.... I tried, but cannot open the file (or there isn't anything in it ) I can open pagesettings.xml, but no preference.xml ?


EDIT: I figured it out. Turns out that because AOD kept crashing, it never successfully wrote the files contents. I started it, hit apply on the preference page, the shut it down (all at stock speeds to prevent crashing) and it created the contents, and I then made the change and it now shows 1.5V... thanks!!!

And here you go

Well, I experimented tonight with RAID 5 on the M3A79-T, and results were somewhat mixed.

Disk performance was actually pretty decent. I did a 2+1 array, with 3 old seagate 80GB SATA 1 drives. I hit 90MB/sec transfer on HD Tune, which is actually pretty good for those old drives. I need to get 3 or 4 SATA II drives to run this. Also, I want to test the behavior of the SB750 with a RAID 5 HD disk array and a standalone SATA CD drive. This could be the wrench in the works for using RAID on this board without it being a pain in the arse

On the downside, Overclocking was MUCH flakier, which is what I was gonna look for. 3.6 was attainable, but MUCH more crash prone, and getting there was not a sure thing. So there is some weirdness with the RAID filter driver and how sensitive Vista is to hairy clock rates.

Also, AOD is a horrible as ever. On the single Raptor installation I did initially, version 2.13 installed with the black skin and worked pretty well, and it showed ACC as being set to auto. When I installed the exact same version on the RAID 5 install, it installed the red skin and worked poorly, as well as not showing ACC even existing.

Its truly a strange piece of software. I took leoy's advice about hacking the preference.xml file, and on the single Raptor install, it worked great. On the RAID 5 install, it keeps resetting itself randomly, as well as occasionally deleting itself.

What a train wreck...
