Asus M3A79-T Deluxe

ok idel is 39c and load is 59c and that back at 3Ghz

Hi I noted you are using Zalman 9700 cooler, to answer the post above.

I have a 9950BE @ 3.1Ghz on an ASUS M3A32-MVP (SB600) using custom water cooling (which is a work in progress), and with C'n'Q enabled, my temps are:

Idle = 33C
Load = 50C

Room ambient = 25C


EDIT: Just tried with C'n'Q disabled and idle temps are now:

CPU IHS = 38C
Cores = 41C

Full Load temps are same as above, i.e. 50C using AOD Stability test all tests.

This is with CPU Tweak enabled, which increases the CPU Cache workload, and gives higher temps.

Many people have noted lower temps (with up to a 10C drop) with CPU Tweak disabled, which can then allow higher overall overclock of the cores due to the lower temps being produced.

I've not had a chance yet to compare benchmark result differences between gains made from having:

a) CPU Tweak enabled (Improved Cache performance at lower core clock speed)

against

b) CPU Tweak disabled, but yielding higher CPU Clock speed.

In other words whether the cache improvements from enabling CPU Tweak gives better/same/worst results than the increased Clock speed of the Cores that would be possible with CPU Tweak disabled as a result of the lower temps.

It might be interesting if we had a thread on this, with benchmarks done at varying clock speeds, with CPU Tweak enabled and disabled, and reporting temp differences as well......

As I am still stuck with an SB600 mobo for at least another week (my supplier having let me down by failing to fill my order for an M3A79-T six weeks ago..!!!), the max OC I can get on SB600 is 3.1Ghz regardless of whether or not I have CPU Tweak enabled or disabled, but maybe folks who already have SB750 mobos, could give some feedback on this idea....?????????

Any takers...?????
