Asus M3A79-T Deluxe

Nice Charged!! 3Ghz NB speed...

Is that stable and can you post some benchies?

That looks amazing!

See if you can run some benchies and don't forget Prime and Orthos.

I want to see if that baby is stable for very long period

You're probably water cooling also?

[imamage]

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.

Thank you Chicken Patty
Here is my first try to push the NB a little

[charged3800z24]

EDIT:

how the hell did you get one ?

My work is just special I guess ,It isn't mine persay ...Our president got it and won't tell me how. I am just testing it.

Nice RAM you got there
DDR2-1356

Well it was..OCZ Reeper HPC 1066 ram.. I think I just killed it....

nice what cooling did you use?

I am using water, in my syg and in my avatar

Not stable apperantly, I went to open CPU-z to get a verify and the system shutdown. LOL , now it won't boot. or POST...so much for fun....I am testing hardware to find what all died...I think it was my ram... I thought I actually had it set to a 1:2 divider, but when I open AOD once I got into windows.. I was like WOW wicked....I have to go out of town for about 2 weeks for a work "crapp" thing...I have to leave shortly and hope to get this back up. I am at our office right now.

Ouch that sucks
Did you add too much voltage to your RAM ?

[charged3800z24]

AOD had 2.4v..and the ram is actually working in another PC and gouing through MEMTEST 86...I put in my 9950 and the system and it will not boot. I tried another PSU etc...I don't have another AMD system here at the office to verify the chip is still ok.. I think it is..but can't confirm since the board obviuosly is not. I should have brought in my Gigabyte system in too...I was just to excited to get over here to see it for myself...I have some pics..and was going to load them up, but the presidnet and the owner said i am not allowed...I was like.WHAT?..He said I have to wait till Jan..HAHHAHA..he is nuts. I will try to get them online when I get away from them guys. well I have 15mins then we have to go.

I hope it's not the mobo, would suck if all the M3A79-T Deluxe mobos went boom from a 4GHz over clock

no problem bro. Results looking good so far, keep me posted on your progress.

[Chicken Patty]

@ charged3800z24

Congrats dude, how do you like it so far?

[demonkevy666]

I hope not also but maybe the high NB did something.

[N19h7m4r3]

Well the NB and Mosfets on these mobos can run pretty hot, maybe the stock cooler just wasn't up to it for the OC?

I just hope more places start making aftermarket coolers for AMD mobos now.

After around 10 minutes SP2004 Orthos the system crashed (BSOD)
It seems the CPU need more voltage (1.3V surely won't do)
Since my rig runs 3GHz rock stable 24/7
I am trying to push the NB speed to 2.4GHz and hopefully reduce the latency

Currently running SP2004 Orthos Stress testing again

I know your RAM is DDR2 800 but would it run stable if you set it at 1066??

For example, before I got my 1066 tracers, I had some cheap super talent DDR2 800 RAM. I can set it in the BIOS to 1066 @ 2.1v, timings on auto 5-7-7-24. I used to then set the NB multi to x12 (2400 MHz) and leave the FSB at 200MHZ. Just upped the CPU clock with the multi. I used to get much better performance like that, then trying to overclock with the FSB, the only thing I didnt clock was the Hyper Transport, it stayed at 2000 MHz which helped with stability anyways, HT link to me didn't make much of a difference having it higher or not.

Not only did I get better performance, it was alot easier to clock as nothing overclocked only the CPU, and was easier to tell where the instability came from when any.

I was running 6GB *( 2GB x2 , 1GB x2 ) and my board REFUSE to boot everytime I set DDR2-1066 in BIOS , that's why I have to overclock the FSB.

My CPU seems having a hard time to get it stable at 3.2GHz , maybe it's too hot or it needs more voltage than 1.4V , maybe I will try push it again later on as I have to work all day til the end of the year

Thanks for the hint BTW

anytime.

u might just need more vcore my 9950 needed 1.420v for stability at 3.2 Ghz. 1.55v for 3.3 GHz and 1.63v for 3.4 GHz, benchable only a couple of time.

It seems that this mobo likes the stock timimgs better than when you tweak them. Set everything to stock and just set the multiplier X19 and broke 5000 cpu marks in 3DMark06.

Seems to be the new high Phenom/Vista score

is that 32 bit or 64 bit ?

We've all seen this, but nobody noticed the M4A79 Deluxe.


Asus has implied before that its AM3 products were all M4A, but aren't AM3 mobos supposed to use DDR3 only? (See Geil DDR2)


This is very hard to explain, but either way in the end we should be seeing more AM3 boards from major partners soon, regardless.

[charged3800z24]

I am on my HP Centrino work laptop LOL...when I get back I will try to get the chip in the gigabyte board. My asus is not working and before I left i took a look at the fets. Nothing looks bad or smells funny. I was thinking AOD was messed up, cause I had the ram set at 1:2 divider. It should not have been that high...but maybe it was right and the board had a fit. I just hope the voltage was set right...may be I messed up something. I feel like a big noob.

Oh, if anyone wants my 9950 125w, it is for sell...I get to keep this new chip. My wife said the 7750 BE came in so I will play with it when I get back too.

At least this laptop has a HD2600 in it.. I can still game a little bit. I miss my PCs at home tho..lol

[leoy]

Nice charged!!!
I believe a nb close to 3ghz will have killing performance....

[jonspd]

I really want this board but cant see spending 200 bux 2-4 months before the am3 stuff gets here...

anyone ran this and a msi plat on a pII?

[N19h7m4r3]

I swear I will beat someone with a TFC rad if an M4A79 Deluxe comes out within a month....

[jonspd]

maybe not a month but you better get ready to start swinging

[chew*]

I got a nice DI tube that might get your point across better and would require less swings I'm on the fence about getting this board, one thing I have not noticed is any high clocks under DI with phenom 2, other thing is onboard would be nice ( would like to knock out a record with the onboard under DI ), last but not least I see the manufacuturer's starting to re release models as we get closer to launch.

[N19h7m4r3]

I finally decide to upgrade from my K8V and order a M3A79...now an M4

I haven't even gotten my new mobo to play with yet...stupid post...
