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

[tbone8ty]

this is what i have set currently.

whats a good NB speed?? right now its set at 2200mhz.

set CPU VDDA at 2.6V...

also not really sure what the HT link volts should be at or the NB pcie PLL volts should be at. any ideas?

Go for NB=2400 at same volts, if not stable go up a little on volt, until system stable, in case your CPU handle NB=2400.
If you set AutoXpress enable PCIe will be 124, I had it always enable with my Radeons.

im back @ 2.9 but i must have abunk chip or something. i have to run it @ 1.425 to get it to stay stable.


i have started a suport ticket with AMD. probly going to RMA this one it should not be needing this high of volatge.

even stock to stay stable needs like 1.35 or higher. it will only run for so long at stock and and OC settings. its not temp. all temps are allways with in range. it has never even went above 55 when i did the 3.0ghz run.

Hi

I remember in my good days of M3A32, the need of use higher voltages for the same CPU(9500) clock than with MSI K9A2 Plat. or DFI 790FX-M2R, to have the system stable.

Was under MSI thread but was with M3A32, as you can see in the everest picture.

DFI/MSI need ~1.3685v.

Remember 9850 it's 1.300v at default.

I, too, can't hit 3GHz with my 9850. And, I'm pretty sure it's not the stepping, because it's a known good overclocking stepping...unless, somehow, ATi/AMD has changed something and steppings no longer apply.
Currently, I'm rock solid at 2.85GHz (1.3V), NB at 2400MHz(12X, 1.4V), HT at 2200 (1.4V), RAM at 1175MHz (5-5-5-15 2T 2.1V) - but am struggling to get much higher - however, I have noticed that my benchmark scores (as per Everest, Sandra,) that my system likes higher RAM MHz and tighter latencies better than higher CPU frequencies and lower RAM...

Have you tested NB-VID=1.3 and HT-VID=1.3 at same clocks for stability?

which prime95 do i need to download so i can test all 4 cores at once?
the one i got only runs the 1st core. or is there some setting?

Windows Prime95 v25.6 build 6

ok heres the link. so far im back at stock @ 1.2v wich i could never boot @ that voltage before. i didnt go thru the whole reformat deal but all is good so far. i will be updating as i prgress.

check that link for the starting points and settings. didnt even know about the F4 hidden settings.
