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

[BrowncoatGR]

so as the mems are fine and they can overclock and they are tested with the latest bios i cant even set the vcore at default whatever i tweak it gives me just a no post :S even whit 2x1 Gb ( Gskill D9GCT ) as before with the 1203 Bios now with the 1406 i cant overclock the board at all it's even hard to run at default and it is not a flashing problem i reflash the bios again and again to make sure of it
i'am really starting to hate asus

Still sounds like a bad flash to me
Are you using Dos flash, EZflash or windows flash utility?

[Vatos_locos]

i tried it with all of them and the bios do the same think
is there any possibility that the latest bios don't like my cpu ? :p
it's on AM2 3800+ x2

[HondaGuy]

Memory with Everest, anyone else says the same? BIOS 1406

On my M3A79-T Deluxe board I have "Supported Memory Types DDR2-400 SDRAM, DDR2-533 SDRAM, DDR2-667 SDRAM, DDR2-800 SDRAM, DDR2-1066 SDRAM, DDR3-800 SDRAM, DDR3-1066 SDRAM" the same as you.

[HondaGuy]

Thanks...... Interesting

[Vatos_locos]

the same thing happens on intel chipsets that support DDR2 And DDR3 besides what the board can support

[roofsniper]

yea its been saying that it supports ddr3 for a long time now. because the chip is on there it just can't be used. although i don't even think ddr3 800 exists and phenom II can run ddr3 1066 and ddr3 1333.

[Vatos_locos]

those are just reference speed i thing same as ddr2 400

So how is this board with Phenom II? I just ordered one, the WiFi flavour, and I don't know if I made the right decision.. Well I didn't really have a choice, there are very few AMD boards available in this third world country I live in..

Just got my Ph2 940 today. Running 3,7ghz @ 1,40v atm, 35 deg C idle, 48 deg C under load. Had some trouble getting all 8Gb of RAM to run properly but it turned out to be my own fault

Aiming for 3800+ 24/7 in my gaming rig with comfortable temps. Massive upgrade already from my 6000x2 The difference is VERY noticable. Recommended buy!

Tried overclocking by HTT only? I'm curious how much would a 920 OC on this board..

[DYM]

I took some pictures of the chip before I put it in but they happened to turn out unreadable ofcourse so I don't have the full stepping numbers.

CPU-Z @ 3811, 1,44 volts, same temps (Seti and gaming stable, haven't primed yet).

Clickable pic. Didn't figure out how to post pix here yet!


Gonna try for some more tomorrow but don't really have a lot of time before the weekend. I want to se what my HT limits are too. Chip seems to be ok tho

[HondaGuy]

stepping here is 0848FPAW
80343
Nice one DYM

[DYM]

Ok it isn't stable at those volts and 3800. Seems like somewhere between 3700 and 3800 is my sweet spot.

[roofsniper]

yay i was waiting for a new bios. anyone try this yet? i see it supports the new phenom II tri cores now too.

[roofsniper]

hey i am thinking about getting a nh-u9b does anyone think i might have issues using this cooler with the mempipe when the air is going out the back?

Hi all ;D

I have this motherboard asus m3a32-mvp deluxe with amd 64 x2 6000+ procc..and 2x 1gb 1066mhz ram...hd 4850 graphics..
Now I am interested in AMD Phenom II X3 720 BE Black Edition AM3 CPU.

How will this processor works for my system, will be any notice different... i use this comp for playing games, and it works fine.

Is there really big diffrent between x2 6000+ and phenom II x3 or x4 soo i could said "wow this rocksss"
Because some people said that dual core is very good for gaming.

If the performance is about 20% faster then this will be super.

Have fun ;D

Stock vs stock,ie 720BE vs 6000+, you can expect at least 20% in games,maybe even more.Agena(Phenom I) was about 15-20% faster in games than X2(K8).Deneb(PhenomII) is around 10-25% clock for clock better in games than Agena,so you can do the math yourself
Plus,you can OC the 720BE easily to 3.5GHz near stock volts,so you gain another 25% compared to stock 2.8Ghz clock for this chip.

[stafunzl]

Thx for your reply, yes i was searching now on google and really x3 720be is very good as you said 15-25% faster. On asus hp i see i must have a new bios 1502 for phenom II x3 720be.

I hope this will works fine for my comp

Have fun ;D

so that red circle in amd overdrive is boost mode. im trying to turn this off but everytime i make the change in aod when i reboot its back on. i have turned off auto express and cpu tweak and i don't know what would turn it off. it keeps overriding all the settings i am making for the nb.

[HondaGuy]

In AOD make sure that you dont have a check in the Perference/ Misc mode. Where is says apply my last settings when system boots......try that amd let me know. also what chip are you running if its the 940 I think its built into the chip like ACC. I had the same thing with my 940 and this mobo

[roofsniper]

yea i got a 940, i checked that box tho and it fixed that problem. i can change my nb settings now, thanks.

[tbone8ty]

thinking about getting the 940 BE....

does this cpu have a lower TDP than the 9850 BE? therefore would it be cooler?

i have it at 3.0 ghz @ 1.375v under a Xigmatek RS-1283 and i get about 38-41C idle/low load (room temp is about 65-70F)

wondering what type of temps i would be getting with the 940BE at stock
