Asus M3A79-T Deluxe

[gOtVoltage]

I too have the m3a79-t dlx board paired with a 9850BE. Im usuing crucial dominators with the stock 5-5-5-15-2t @2.2v and a visiontek 4850. Im having issues getting it to go above 3.2 (200 bus 16x mult @ 1.48v cpu/nb stock nb/ht speed ACC 4%) If i go above it, say to 17x mult my 3 and 4 cores fail at self test in prim 95.

Right now im running at 3420 with my mem timings at the above, the mem div at 1:2, mult at 15, bus at 228, acc still at 4% HT/NB @ 2280 with voltages at 1.6 for both CPU/NB running stable (to me stable is running WoW for over an hour :-D)but 3 and 4 core still failing.

I can never run half mults (i.e. 15.5) My cpu is h2o cooled.

Anyone have any pointers on how i can squeeze some more out of this thing? i'm seeing people get 3.5 - 3.6 What are you 9850 owners out there getting as far as settings??

1st ,,
use 1.65v for CPU and keep NB @ 1.55v this will even out the voltage in the CPU better..Your temps will be the same. The CPU needs more and NB less.

Second,,
CORE PCIE @ 1.32v.. This makes it easier on the IMC at high loads.Helped my Dominators alot.

@ Gnaged vs Unganged ..
Mine gave Me Oc problems above 3.45ghz running on the 533 divider. Vipers with same settings can run cpu to 3.6ghz. The dominators really held me back and i had the D9 version.

Mater of fact im running@ 4-4-4-5 24 2t unganged with Vipers where the Dominators would only do 5-6-6-5 20 2T..

I can Run Unganged with tigh ttiming and faster overall speed at high Overclocks,,Where as Ganged would crash my nb or cause unstibilities at the same exact Clocks/freqency..It one big crapshoot i tell ya.

If two cores are failing and going at the same time i would say they dont have enuff Vcor for 3.4ghz. If it was just one core id say the chip is maxed.

Your Chip may like higher htt with low CPux more. Your water cooled so hopefully temps arnt the issue.
