Asus M3A32-MVP Deluxe (790FX) *Pictures + Benchmarks + Overclocking*

its kinda like cool and quiet, reduces power state...i didnt read the whole article

i know what it is but i personally haven't seen a difference. i don't see clocks go down, voltage go down or temps go down. im just wondering if anyone else has had something actually happen.

[Oliverda]

so what are people's experiences with enabling C1E support? im not sure if it does anything for me.

hmmmm so it appears it does work. i guess i might look into it more because i swear when i turn C1E support on temps actually go up.

M3A32 Series Start Support Phenom II

All Air 1.575V@4G

To take out several posts from the graveyard. My question is with what are you cooling the CPU and are these frequencies stable or only for bench.

[HondaGuy]

Still tweaking this Phenom on this board.. I know its rejected..

Phenom 9850 @ 3.7

Hmm last Nigh must of been uber Overclocking Night..Thats friggin ,,im jelouse now. 3.6 wasnt so bad but 3.7.. i know i cant do that

[HondaGuy]

Im like'n this new bios for the board 1406

[roofsniper]

well honda guy keeps whipping out amazing results. either hes an amazing overclocker or he got the best phenom ever made. or both.

I told him too many secrets

He has a amazing chip(Golden alright)..

Supposedly the 0841 xxxx and Higher steppings are even better for 125watt 9850/9950.

Too many secrets while we were drinking our face off...

Just pure skill....

how did the M2N OC in comparison?

[FlanK3r]

how did the M2N OC in comparison?

I have M2N-E and for Phenom CPUs is here limit not NB multiplier...and max NB clock ended at 2160MHz for this MB...I mean, ASUS M3A-T with sb750 about 2500-2700MHz

[raunchy]

the last half year i still have the prob
with all bios versions with my temps all below 45C
when i use 2.2volts on the mem it locks up after time
i can overclock my processor np
but my 4 sticks 8gb total of crucial trazers 800mhz with epp of 5-5-5-15 at 1000mhz at 2.2 volts
(they have not yet been over the 2.2 volts ever)
dont wat to run at that speed for long
no diverance between 2 or 4 sticks
my 4 gb corsairs 1066mhz 5-5-5-15 at 2.1 volt run np
but i have slower benches with that ungaged mode compared with the gaged mode running on 800mhz
still dont get it
i have a coolermaster 1000watts psu and a phenom 9950be at 15 multi and 2 3870's in crossfire 3 hdd's and 1 dvd burner
(for info on the watts pulled)
cant get them stable
the mem is okay becouse of the memtestst i did over and over again even at 1000mhz np until shutdown with 2.2volts np found if not shutdown by the lockup

[roofsniper]

the phenom can't run 4 sticks of ram at speeds over 800 mhz without loosening the timings. also you should be able to change the unganged/ganged mode in the bios. unganged splits the memory controller into 2 64 bit controllers and it is better for multithreaded apps. ganged uses one 128bit controller and it is better for single threaded. so if you are running single threaded benchmarks like super pi you should get better results with ganged mode.

the problem is that even with 2 sticks at 5-5-5-15 at 800 (epp is with 2 sticks 4-4-4-12 at 800)
it lockes up somehow my board hates crucials (2 gb sticks)
thats with 2.2 volts like they should run at
if i undervolt the stick run longer like a week but then still lockup

they could possibly be bad sticks. have you ran mem test yet?

like i said thats the strange thing i have had a new board and new sticks but same probs so thats not it

i just recently install 2 x 1 gb corsair 1066 sticks...so now i have 4 x 1gb running at 1066...its running stable at 5-5-5-15 timings

make sure u set dram voltage at 2.1V or 2.2V and gotta up the NB volts to 1.35+ for stablility....my cpu is at 3.1

but are you sure it is actually running at that speed? i don't believe the memory controller can handle 4 sticks at 1066 with stock timings. it could just be displaying what speed you set it as but its not actually running at that speed in all 4 sticks.

Any program out there that he could use and check with?

no clue its just that many people say they can run 4 sticks at 1066 but amd has stated that this is not possible and i don't think the memory controller can handle it. im guessing that 2 sticks are running at 1066 and two would be running at 800 but it reads the ram speed out as 1066. i believe in another thread tony said it was possible to run 4 sticks at 1066 but he loosened all the timings up a lot.

[HondaGuy]

Running X2 Dual core yes they dont see the 1066, but running Phenom's they should be able to see the 1066...... I have tracers PC2-8500 in mine and running @1066 with timings 5-5-5-15, so far so good......

yea it doesn't work on dual cores but on phenoms amd has said that the memory controller can only handle one stick of 1066 in each channel. i believe there was even a bios update in the past for this that slowed down the speed of a stick if there was two sticks of 1066 in the same channel. ahhh yes bios 1202:
1202 BIOS for M3A32-MVP Deluxe/Wifi-AP
1.Enhance memory compatibility.
2.Down speed from 1066 to 800Mhz if there are two 1066 dimm in one channel.

[SkullCracka]

no problem with 4 sticks here @ 1066 and higher. on any bios put out so far to date.

[crazydiamond]

roofsniper i think it is mobo dependent...
