Asus M3A79-T Deluxe

[RASTAVIPER]

Hey guys,
has anyone measured with watt meter his system?
I bought recently this meter because I was curious if my 750w Corsair was too much for this sytem.These are the results with 1,475vcore and 3.450mhz (daily use):
*During booting 300-400w
*During the loading of windows bar in black screen you can see 500+w
*In windows Idle mode around 330w
*In windows Full load mode 500+w.Sometimes maxed at 600+

So, I guess it was a good choice to hit a 750watt psu..

I have watt meter installed.
*windows idle and ati 2900 idle 260w
*windows full load (boinc 4 instances) 3300mhz/1.42v 365w
*windows full load (boinc 4 instances) 3400mhz /1.475v 400w
*gaming 450w - 500w

Any OC to the VGA?
I checked some links for the vga.

260watt in LOAD, without any OC and in default voltages

Imagine my 4850 at 750/1200 and in 1.158 voltage.300watt for sure!!

Also for the CPU:

308watt only for 3.1giga

No worry why you need 600+watt PSU for an OCed system.

Edited my signature for correct details in daily use.
Waiting for Deneb and I must also change ancient ati 2900 to a newer one. Maybe bigger power and so on. You know the endless circle.

very sorry for the noob question here, but i've searched on google and found nothing. i see a lot of posts mentioning ACC. what is ACC? is this a bios setting? AOD setting? too bad i can't use AOD as i'm running windows server 2k8. also, i think i'm missing some bios settings, especially in the chipset section under pci express. i don't see the options for port #2,3, and so on. i wish i can access these settings to change the pcie setting to 16x instead of 8x. i have my two 4850 in crossfire connected to both blue slot which should be running at 16x in crossfire. i know they're not in 16x mode but 8x mode as gpuz shows that. btw, some specs

bios 0403
amd 5000+ am2 BE
4gigs gskill ddr2 800
asus m3a79-t mobo.

so far i'm learning more about this board. i'm going thru 50% of the posts on this thread. please help. you guys are awesome. thanks in advance

in this thread there are a few response about ACC but none are clear as AMD is being very secretive about this

thanks patty . i'll be reading about ACC on the train going home from work tonight . btw, i don't know if you folks followed the other thread about the amd phenom II and dragon preview event. i got an invitation and i'm going. i can't wait to see phenom II in action. too bad i won't be able to hang out too long. it's a two hours event. i hope there will be freebies .

Hmm, this is very interesting. I have an Antec Neo HE380W psu with three +12V rails, 15A each. Well, with this board it gives a nice 12.03V for that line and with load to all cores its about 11.98V or so(atleast according to asus pc probe), with previous boards it gave 11.8V and even 11.5V without some bios update to the board(dunno why), and it didnt even start very often with that board(MSI KA790GX without bios update) and the whole comp. shutdown sometimes.

Well, now I have this asus.. works flawless and starts everytime etc, BUT when i get to some point in OC it totally restarts the whole machine everytime(usually in LOAD ofcourse), the voltage readings are the same 11.98V .. just wondering if I only have PSU issue, and not CPU in OC. Its 3.1GHz 24/7 LOAD stable, but even with 3.125GHz it restarts or jamms within 1-60minutes in load. .. ?
