I could have sworn it was the other way around...

The Asus M3A78-T bios still need alot of work either way. I've been trying to tweak the new 0304 bios for the last 3 hours... The board itself is really nice, but the OC features need alot of work.

Their Tech support has been kind of lacking too, I'm way past their supposed "48 Hour" response time.
ASUS is still tuning it, the major fixes in 0304 were 1066 memory operation, NB multis working, PCIe over 105 working, CAS4 at 800 stable with 1T, S1/S3 resume, HTT over 220 with HD3300 enabled, and ACC actually working. Now that those are more or less out of the way, performance tuning is up next although I am hearing that HTT over 245 with HD3300 is going to be difficult. The Gigabyte board with F1B is a couple of steps ahead in those areas. The Foxconn is ahead of all of them when it comes to clocking, but the last BIOS is a little twitchy with memory.

In regards to ACC values, all CPUs are different. I am finding that +2 on all cores is a good base to start from for the 9850/9950, anything higher generally results in some issues until you figure out which core needs more and which one needs less. On the Foxconn 790FX/SB750 board, auto resulted in the best clocking experience, found out through a lot of tuning that the cores were set at 4,4,0,2.
