Asus M3A79-T Deluxe

[faior]

yeah, got rid of my stability problems with HD4850, did VPU-recover very often when i was gaming.. the fault was NB-frequency, it was 2350MHz which was too much apparently, now 2250MHz and runned about an hour without problems. Also im running 11x282HTT now and seems to work fine, some performance gain is noticeable. Also little weird.. my temps have lowered from yesterday, its now idling 40C with CPU Tweak on, OFF gives 33C 3.1GHz@1.4Vcore

[Chicken Patty]

I think it's mainly because the CPU score. Unfortunately the CPU score has a pretty high influence on the final score. Compare the SM2.0 and HDR/SM3.0 scores only.



If you can.

well my sm2 and sm3 scores are over 300-400 points with the CPU at 2.9 GHz compared to the Phenom at 3.4 GHz. Regardless this chip is just crazy! its fast as f**k. From the looks of it, the PHenom II won't be giving it a run neither, i've seen some benchmarks with the i7 920 with hyperthreading disabled, meaning on 4 threads, and it still murders the Phenom II scores at a much lower clock. What AMD needs is the Phenom FX!!!! Now that will definitely be a different story.

For now I won't hit 4 GHz, but once I put it under water i'm sure I can. It's nature for these chips to hit 4 GHz

Sorry to hear about your Phenom rig hope you have better luck with your new rig

thanks dude, well the new rig so far is awesome, but don't worry. I'll be up and running on an AMD rig soon.

in 3dmark06 intel always scores higher then AMD in the cpu bench part.

[Chicken Patty]

in 3dmark06 intel always scores higher then AMD in the cpu bench part.

I don't think so. You see all those Core 2 Duos at like 5 GHz that kill Phenoms in super pI and such, tell them to score higher in 3dmark, its less processing power whichever way you put it bro.

and look this run was 3.6ghz

I'm pretty sure none of the phenom here have ever gotten to anywhere near 5,600 point cpu points.

not mention it's also is clock basis lol

of course not that high of a clock, but lower clocks like 3.3 GHz and under, I took a lot of Q6600's out of the game with my Phenom.

Look at this benchmark over on TPU and look at the quad core list, some clock for clock, they fall short of the Phenom

here is the quadcore list. Look in the bold area, thats where it gets interesting.

Well i really didnt want o post pics of my Uber 10year old case ,,

neW case in january. I still cant decide what i want.. HAF is very roomy. Also would enable to have 2xtripple inside while having a DVD and few HD's

My uber Rugged Looking bench rig,, best $89 bucks that has (10years of AMD Overclocking and still going)

To keep on topic i use a Tripple BIX3 twocore on top with a Feser Xchangertripple on the side. The 655 is mounted oudside case at bottom .

The 655 and D-tek (Fusion V1)I flow modded and am using Tygon 1/2"-3/4"od and masterclear. Swifty res with Fill port added.

Simple yet effective for non cooled water. This is what allows me to crank the 9950 and see whtat the 79-T has to offer. i cant wait for 45nm,then i will transfer everything to new Case .

Nice... I thought about adding another RAD...I have all my gear outboard as well. hear is a pic I took just after I got it up and running on the gigabyte board..The RAD is on top of the case, for some reason I forgot to get it in the pic. I have put in the asus since then and cleaned up the mess LOL



Edit: Hear it is on the Asus...for such a lil RAD and less then a $100USD, this thing does me very well

I'm not sure on this at all. Anyway an i7 rig is more expensive than a Phenom II.

So, good luck for your new rig and good bye!

just peak at this thread, obviously at first people had instability issues and all but towards the last pages, notice everybody in there is at least at 4ghz, i'm at 3.4 Ghz @ only 1.2v. Still working.

Ok, right. But please don't forget that this is the Asus M3A79-T Deluxe thread and not the i7 vs. Phenom II. You don't have to gain us over that you've made a good choice when you switched to i7.

I really don't know how you would say that. Are you serious? I'm definitely ending my discussion with you now, remember I was not the one that said "if you can go over 4GHz" i was just simply trying to prove something.

Keep in mind before saying things like that, that this is ASUS M3A79-T Deluxe thread, take care now

Also, keep in min, I still own a M3A79-T and a Phenom.

Hey, my Phenom II will pwn your i7..LOL... seriously,. I don't think it is bad to mention your new setup, U have been in this thread a while and added a good bit. sometimes a thread can become a place for us guys just to BS a lil..just as long as we don't get to off topic. I will most likely have an i7 this next year as well...but also a Phenom II on this Asus board...I am glad I bought it. Nothing against my MA790GP..

now back on topic...has anyone figure out how to stop the auto OC on the PCIe? It seems to love 124mhz...LOL I have set it manually in bios and even deleted the config file in AOD.

[Oliverda]

I've just noticed that the multiprocessor speedup is much lower in CB with this board than with my former boards. Could anyone please run the CB like me? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, bro I only shared some feedback from what i'm experiencing with the new setup. In no way was I bashing AMD or saying the Phenom was a bad CPU, I still have a phenom and will buy a Phenom II when released. If certain people cannot take handle some feedback, thats not my fault. and if I said that i am getting better scores with my i7 I only say that because it is true. While I had my phenom I did add lots of valuable benchmarks and have helped and continue to help anybody I Can trying to overclock a Phenom.

Good luck guys, i'll join you guys again when I get my Phenom II, don't want nobody having a titty attack.

Certain people are not millionaire. I think completely unnecessary to buy Phenom II beside the i7 because it won't be giving it a run neither and the i7 still murders the Phenom II scores at a much lower clock.

[faior]

This CPU is crappy.

[Oliverda]

This CPU is crappy.

Meanwhile I've foud the reason. It's behing the CPU Tweak option. When I turn off this option the 1 CPU bench's score decreases but the x CPU is not. In this case the speedup is around 3.90x because the 1 CPU score is lower. It would be good to compare results with other boards without this CPU Tweak option.

[faior]

It wont clock !

This is getting really weird! .. Just ran 1024M wprime bench and cinebench multicore bench with 287x11.5 = 3300MHz at 1.4Vcore without ACC. Little while ago it wasnt stable enough even to run superpi1m.. now all this, I think it doesnt like big multipliers, is this normal? Also ran 5hours aod stability test last night at 3240MHz with small multiplier.

Look @ the Ram Divider thats being used at High HTT.. Makes a differance.


Mine is Half divider 1/2 @ 3.51ghz @ 293 x 12.5 My ram is is on 800 divider (Not 1066) @ 6-4-4-15 ,, 1173mhz

[XRogerX]

are you taking about AIR or W/C Faior

[faior]

are you taking about AIR or W/C Faior

Im going with air, TRUE 120 cooler.

gotvoltage, you mean its memory divider problem or smth? Yeah its 800 divider i used there, last time it was 1066. Perhaps its the problem.. or not. Im going to try the older bios later on, if I get a hang of stablity too.
