Asus M3A79-T Deluxe

[kazgirl]

This board is just freakin awesome... Nothing else need be said.

This was a casual run, I'm starting the transplant to a proper water cooling system tomorrow. But it made it through 3DMark06 with no problem. This run was with 2 x 4870s. I'm gonna try the same with my 3 x 4850 machine and see what happens.

Just amazing to see a Phenom based system doing this..........

FYI, this looks like the fastest Phenom score in Futuremark!!!! Zowee

We're catching the Intel guys!

Hi Nanohead awsome score...looking forwad to seeing more..!!!

I finally placed an order today for a M3A79-T....though I'm a little dubious about whether or not they had stock....I rang the retailer yesterday and they said they were getting stock today, I palced my order online today, and rang again later in the day to confirm, and the guy I spoke to on the phone sounded a bit confused, but said they had 2 in stock.... and that it should be sent as normal...

But I havn't had an e-mail confirming despatch or anything even though the website says that an email is sent confimring despatch...!!!! Its a reputable etailer, so should be OK but I'm a little wary as to whether they actually had stock or not....

I hope that it'll be OK, I;ve been waiting forever to get one of these mobo's.....!!

Awesome, we all know you waited a while for this one. I continue to be amazed at how competent this board is. I'm working on a temporary Vista 32bit install so I can do a few more tests of the RAID/SATA combos.

This time, I installed a plain Raptor using the AHCI/RAID driver via the RAID Option ROM, instead of the Asus BIOS. I set that up as the disk 1 boot device. I'm about to install 3 new WD 500GB drives and set up a RAID 5 array (SATA II) and see how that whole thing behaves. If all is well, I'll migrate everything from the DFI tonight.

I'm gonna get an SSD I decided as my boot device, just cuz my brain is the size of a peanut and I cannot control my urges. My wife is convinced I'm daft, but my kids think its cool that we have the fastest AMD phenom on futuremark ORB at the moment. This whole faster phenom thing is quite amusing I must say. I'm getting interested in this whole thing again. It was such a drag for the past year or so.

I just hope that when the bunch of us start getting these systems to present respectable numbers, all the naysayers will stop being such dolts and the rampant fanboyism will get quieter. But I'm an optimist
