M3A79-T and 9850 3.6Ghz Validation

[nanohead]

In my case i could not do much more but increasing ref HT and saving cpu-z files. Could run superpi up to 3550MHZ, but prime95 stable max was 3345MHzon Gigabyte 790GX. That chip was not stable at 3.1GHz in the Sapphire 790FX. My 9850BE still freezed at ~2.9GHz but that chip also does not run 533 mode on my tracers. What max did your 9850BE reach prime95 stable on the DFI790FX?

On the SB600 it was worth about 3.0Ghz stable, but it had its moments where it got cranky. I ran it at 2.9 cuz it never threw a tantrum there. I'm not sure of the Asus will be stable @ 3.6, but it sure looks cool. I suspect that it will be fine at 3.5, which is still pretty AWESOME!! considering what we've all be struggling with since last december.

I'm currently doing a build with RAID 5 to see what kind of performance it has, and whether its worth doing in a production gamer. I reset the whole BIOS to stock for this experiment. I especially want to see what the AMD/Promise RAIDExpert looks like. It gave me some trouble on 1 of my 780G machines, I lost data, but I recovered it with some nasty software that I have

Is AOD the windows OC thing? I'm guessing you OCed from your BIOS. Also what kinda cooling you using? Can you do a superPI test?

Actually, I did almost all of it from AOD so far, which surprisingly, did not cause the machine to spontaneously combust (version 2.13) like previous versions. I did set most of the voltages in BIOS though, as AOD is too moody with that, and Asus only provided hooks into a couple of the voltages from AOD into their BIOS. Cooling is described in detail above. I've done no benching yet, just basic testing and stability. No Prime, no Everest, etc. I'll get it to max stable, then try and run SuperPI. Don't think I can take SoF, but I'm sure gonna try
