PCPER.com: 5 GHZ+ Phenom II Overclock on Dry Ice, 6Ghz on LN2

I agree on the pwm level of Am2/Am2+ boards. the asus 790fx sb750 had the highest 8+2 phase. the rest are all 4 or five and some have a +1.

Asus M3A32-MVP Deluxe(/WiFi-AP) is nothing but 4+1 phase...
...note that even Asus' marketing is clueless as they actually quote it as "8+2".

He's talking about the sb750 board (aka M3A79T). It's an sb600 board you're linking here.

there almost identical, lol only difference is SB750 vs SB600 plus an extra heat sink and fan.

If prices are good, i probably build one of those Deneb with a Lanparty JR 790gx
Any idea of release date and prices?

Except the one he linked is 4+1 phases while the M3A79T is 8+2 phases.

oh really here a pic.



opps second one was 78 and not the 79.

oh really here a pic.

My bad, after looking they're both 8+2 phases. Got lost because the guy I quoted first said the M2A32 had only 4+1.

Uhm Asus says straight on their site it is 8+2 (what does the +2 mean?) (...) so I'm trusting that Asus knows what they are talking about

The thing is, Asus doesn't know what they're talking about.

I say again; M2A32, M3A32 and M2A79-T Deluxe all have just 4+1 phases (4+1 = 4 for CPU + 1 for NB).

Its for memory actually.

Extreme Engine
- 16-phase CPU power design
- 3-phase NB power design
- 2-phase DDR3 power design

This is just a LGA775 example for the most extreme.

The other one is CPU(8) and memory(2).

Nope.

oh really here a pic.

Uhm Asus says straight on their site it is 8+2 (what does the +2 mean?) and you can't see under the heatsink for anyone to say what it is, so I'm trusting that Asus knows what they are talking about

2 phases dedicated for the 8-phase CPU PWM.

Except the one he linked is 4+1 phases while the M3A79T is 8+2 phases.

SB600 is missing ACC, has no RAID5, slower USB 2.0 performace, from 2006
SB750 has AMDs Advanced Clock Calibration, RAID5, faster USB 2.0 performace, from 2008

the key here is Advanced Clock Calibration, that allows better overclocking on current 65nm agena cores and upcoming deneb cores!

some 790FX boards have SB750, allmost all 790GX boards have SB750
