Asus M3A79-T Deluxe

[gOtVoltage]

Hi guys...

Well I've been a bit busy for a while had a few personal things to take care of...

The mobo arrived as promised by Scan, and I even got it all installed into the case the same day. But didn't have time to try to install the OS until today.

Well I fianlly got the OS installed this afternoon.

I've been running into a couple of little oddities with this board compared to the M3A32-MVP.

I've flashed to the latest BIOS 0602, and have installed Vista and all updates, etc...

My temps are great, I'm just testing high voltage temps at the moment and have set VCore to 1.475v and CPU @ 3.2Ghz,

Idle is showing 36C on the CPU (IHS) with Cores showing 37C (C'n'Q disabled of course)
Load is 44C CPU (IHS) and 46C on the Cores.





Anyway, I'm in the process of trying to figure it out, by gradually making cahnges one by one as a proess of elimination to try and rule out the cause of this littel problem.....



I'm pretty sure it may have something to do with either the HT voltage, or the CPU VDDA Voltage, settings that is causing it to fail to POST.

I currently am at

CPU @ 3.2Ghz and 1.475V
NB @ 2.4Ghz and (Stock Volts)
HT@ 2.0Ghz (Stock Volts)
RAM @ DDR2-1066 (2.1v)


******ACC @ Auto*******

Pretty much everything else is on Auto settings at the moment, CPU TWeak,

******Auto Express*******, etc..etc.

I'm kind of hoping to get this little glitch ironed out soon, so that I can see what's what....

Im using the 602bios and the 302 is decent but lacks Agesa updates ..The 504 is buggy as bleeep.

First,,

you need to Disable ******two Items*******


Next,,

nice chip, temps are good .
little shy of volts for the NB to function @2400.

This works

CPUvcore 1.512v
NBvcore 1.512v
this should give you a CPU/NBVID value close to 1.42v ..It will work for 3.3-3.35ghz and will be about the same temps you are at now with VDD @2.8v.

The ASUS 79-T will use more Vcore Vs your OLD Mobo MSI..Since the VIDs auto adjust with higher Vcore with SB750.using ACC mearly adds more or less volts to what you intially have set in CPUvoltage and NBvoltage. Using +/- or AUTO ACC.. I disable this ACCfeature after finding it dosnt always auto adjust and will cause a (noboot) if it auto adjust with too much or not enuff volts.

Set the New VDD value and others i have listed below.



Set VDD to 2.8v

set HT to 2.8v

Set Core/pcie to 2.8v

Southbridge AUTO

Keep me posted.

Note: this should give you stability. Even Raising the CPUvcore to 1.6v and Nbvcore to 1.52v on this mobo is no problem ,, your temps are just fine..

I could post Volts or even Screens of what to set( Ive tested them all) while not using ACC for up to 3.5ghz/2600nb if ya like.

Example,,

This is with 1.6v on both NB/CPU

screen is With out ACC...
remember ACC only adds or subtracts volts from what you origanaly set for Vcores.
