You're such a tease...

[evilSuRGe]

just out of curiousity what BIOS are you using?

I had that issue with the 0504 BIOS, I couldn't raise my FSB or it wouldn't post. Wierd, but it was the BIOS. I returned to the 0403 BIOS after that and rig ran perfectly.

I'm on 0602. When i got the board it had 0403 and once i installed vista i used the asus update tool to go to 0602
I might try and reflash it back to 0403 then load default since i didnt do that when i flashed it the first time.

I didnt have any problems with 0602, however my most stable overclock was with 0403, for me all the way up to 0602 my favorite was 0403. give it a shot and see.

Id like to see this 0701 break the 294htt barrier. Would be sweet indeed

Hey!

I'm going to buy AMD MB next week, but i can't choose which one.
What would you recomend, M3A78-T, M3A79-T DLX or something else?
I prefer stable high overclock and good superpi times.

Regards, M

For High overclock , I suggest you pay extra and get M3A79-T DELUXE
It's quite good

I just recently got myself a Phenom 9950 and Asus M3A79-T Deluxe. I'm running the chip up to 3.3Ghz at 1.4Vcore using only a multi increase. I am however struggling to get 4 x 1GB Crucial Ballistix Tracers DDR1066 stable, even at 800mhz, unganged and ganged 2T it will be stable for a couple of minutes, and sometimes even for almost an hour AOD stbility test.

My setup is:
Phenom 9950
Asus M3A79-T Deluxe
4 x 1GB Crucial Ballistix Tracers
EVGA GTX280 (640 core, 1391 shader, 1250 memory)
Antec Trio 650Watt PSU.

Any ideas how I could get 4 x 1GB ram stable on this setup?

With 2 sticks and same settings I can run stability tests for an hour without any problems...

Has any of you guys had an issue with the board not posting and crash recovery not working?
Everytime I raise HT above 2000 the board will not post and i have to clear cmos.
IT's pissing me off that i cant overclock the HT without it not posting and i have to take out my 3870X2 everytime to reset cmos.

I am having the same problem
It's very annoying BTW

BTW , my 9950BE seems don't like to run anything higher than 3.2GHz even with 1.475V
Maybe I should just wait for Phenom II 940 later

I used to run 4x 1GB D9GMH RAM (Crucial Ballistix & Team Xtreme Mixed) on the board , it "NEVER" boot well when I set DDR2-1066 mode @ BIOS
But the four stick setup works fine with @ DDR2-800 2.0V ~ 2.1V

My Ballistix DDR2-800 CL4 (SPD listed 2.2V) died last month , RMAed and the new pair (with 2.0V listed at SPD ) doesn't like anything higher than DDR2-1100

[imamage]

Sorry to ask , I would like to push my NB speed higher ( currently only works 2GHz )
Should I push the NB Voltage to 1.3V or I should change other options in BIOS to get it work

Thank you

hi there, I was able to run a NB of 2400 Mhz with the voltage on auto. Manually I had it as low as 1.16v.

Thanks imamage. I am however running the memory at 800mhz, but still the same problems.

That's odd , which BIOS version you are using ??
DDR2-800 at ganged or unganged mode?
Have you try DDR2-800 CL5-5-5-18 @ 1.8V ?

Ok I will give it a try at "Auto"
Thanks

[VoodooProphetII]

No, I've tried ganged and unganged at 800Mhz 4 4 4 12 T2 timings and 2.2Vdimm...

602 bios rev.

[N19h7m4r3]

Anyone know any good passive Mosfet coolers for this mobo?

I've been looking around and neither the Enzotech or Thermalright ones fit

I also don't want to water cool them as it means setting up a second loop :/

How about only 2x 1GB ?

hi there, this thermalright says it fits on the 790FX, check it out:

I had my previous motherboard fully watercooled with Koolance parts. When I had to order the heat transfer plate for the Vreg/mosfet water block, I ordered the one that was 107.5mm long. I however had to grind it down on one end slightly to have it fit, but the smaller one before that is 76mm which was too small so I had no choice. However I notice that the cooler I linked you too the longest one is 70mm, so I dont know what to tell you, it says its compatible with the ASUS 790FX

If you follow the link from performance pcs to the thermalright one.

It only has two 790FX boards listed and thats only for the Northbridge, it shows the mosfets are non compatible.

I'm just worried I just spend 180 euro just to have Asus release a new motherboard the same time as PH2 launches

I just wouldn't worry about it for now, dont wanna spend the money on something that does not fit.

[oc_junkY]

i REALLY hope that they don't release a new board but keep working on the bios for this board. i think physically this board is good enough for the upcoming phenom 2s.

Man I had a busy past 2 days. Any who, I was playing with my news toys and look at this screen shot...anyone guess......

how the hell did you get one ?

[imamage]

Nice RAM you got there
DDR2-1356

[msimax]

nice what cooling did you use?
