Asus M3A79-T Deluxe

[demonkevy666]

Vista 64 bit.

well at least now I'm not he only one with it here lol

My chip can barely do 3.0ghz in it @ 1.55 volts and 8% acc (2.8 vdda)

I'd lower you ram volts and set timing to 6-6-6-24 start 800mhz then try 1066mhz. I had my ram up to 1,104 @ 1.96 volts at one time.

I am have tempted to load Vista 64bit..Just to see if it kills my OC...Win 64Bit has proved better on OCing then 32bit Vista and XP. I wonder if Vista 64 is just that much of a pain..

please do
I get 3.1ghz in XP. with no ACC. and 1.425 volts.

I am going to try your recs, but I did want to clear a couple things up first.

The screenshot I posted is just the highest stable OC I've been able to get. When trying to go higher I've only had the NB/HT at 2000 and FSB at 200. Ram has been set to 800 @ 5-5-5-18 2T at 2.1v (Ram is stated to run at 800 @ 4-4-4-12 2T at 2.0-2.1v). I've currently just been using the multiplier when going above 3000mhz.

I don't understand what you mean by setting HT to 2.8v. The highest the BIOS says I can set HT volts to is 1.40v.

Also, when I turn ACC off, I can't even boot into Windows at 16x200, even with vcore and nb up to 1.525. When ACC is set to auto I can run OCCT for about a minute before Windows crashes, with max temps at 56C at 1.525.

EDIT: I'm also going to do a clean install of XP 64. When demonk asked my OS it reminded me that my Vista 64 is a bootleg install, so I want to eliminate that as a possible source of problems, esp since I don't care about running XP vs. Vista.

Ooops Sry ( HT @ 1.28volts) and set the CORE PCI-E to 1.28v-1.32v,, this is the one that really counts.

Funny i just discovered this in AOD,, that when i set the HT volts to 1.28 in Bios it did not Set the NB chipset volts to the Same.

The whole time i thought it did. The one that Actually Helps the Ram slots and Max Freqency is (Core PCI-E) I run it @ 1.32volts when using High NB and CPUclocks to keep things stable.



If i set HT to 1.26v the HTchipset is 1.26v. So in Fact the HTvolts are 100% seperate volts than the CORE PCI-E (NBchipset volts). On Previous Mobo's ive had the HTvolts and NBchipset volts were usually set by HTvolts. i dont know why i didnt notice earlier..


This is the NBvolts that is displayed to the lower right in AOD not the NBVID wich is CPU.

If you are running Lots of Ram and are overclocking i run the CORE PCI-E @1.28 - 1.32v depents on how high im pushing the Clocks..


Also just for fun,, Im @ 1.68vCPU and 1.65vNB and 1.28vHT,, 1.32vCorePci-e ,,Southbridge Auto.

Look at the settings AOD reports. Shows my CPU volts @ 1.49v.. But CPU-Z shows 1.73v. I know in MY bios its 1.73v in the Power Monitor menu.

the CPU/NBVID's are wrong too but HT //NB// Ram //southbridge read correct in AOD.. wierd stuff.

Your voltage scares me LOL.. I am afraid ..very afraid LOL...

The VID setting read max 1.45 due to AOD's MAX value settings. I think you know this already..but if you set "<MaximumVCoreEnabled>1</MaximumVCoreEnabled>" in preferences file in AOD folder from "0" to "1" it will peak at 1.55max VID. This is true on both NB and CPU VID. Since I do not know a way to make it higher it stops at 1.55 which still will not show your "extreme" volts LOL

UPDATE on 602bios,,

My MAX HTT(bus) 293 x 12 @3.51ghz NB2300+ HT2300+

Ive been trying for 300 but this Bios nosedives after 293 . It will set CPU to 3900mhz no matter the CPU Multi or Ram divider i use. ive tried 8x and Low HT and Max HT even if i lower the Ram 294 is a no go ..

Patiently waiting for next Bios. im determined to get HTT300 . I have not been able to do HTT300 on ANY AM2+ Mobo yet with Phenom B3.



Phenom is quit fun to Oc you never know what you can expect.. My previos High HTT was 292 ,, 2hours to get 1+mhz but again im @3.516ghz vs 3.50ghz.. little things do count alot

@ gOtVoltage...

Nice as always...hey, did you ever show a pic of your cooling setup? How do you keep 1.7v's cool I run the Swiftech Apogee kit all stock.

I had my cpu-z says those volts (1.728) once I can get 3.2ghz. I could have probably go more, but I didn't push up the other volts you did.

that setting was fully stable, but I hit 70C load in 3dmark06. Even at those temps I was rock stable.

My chip is a psycho. only get's unstable above somewhere in the above 72C-78C lol insane on air yes but who cares phenom II is almost here.

lapping this chip and putting it under water would probably be the only way to get low temperatures. I don't have that kinda funding. :/
