nice hondaguy

Another ? I just must ask

I noticed the NB multiplier seem's to only go to 9x is that really the limit?
I swore it was usually at 10x and had the option of up to 11x or so.

My bet is on you hitting maybe 4.3-4.4 core and 2.65 nb/core.

Thats it for tonight 3.9 is stable.. going out drinking now....Cheer Guys

Nb multi only change through bios, not aod. In aod u just see what is set at.
Mine has at least x16 from what i remember(16x200=3200).

**Caveman787** · 01-02-2009, 06:01 PM

leoy umm 3.2.....am I smokin something?

But isn't that your core clock not northbridge?

Since motherboard's don't support 3.2nb yet...I have a feeling am3 will to catch up to i7's qpi interconnect and uncore clocks more.

Just the possibilities my friend.
2.78 was the max i got with my 9950 agena ever.
Btw Charged managed to take the deneb's nb @ 3ghz(this will be smokin)

I no longer have a Asus M3A79-T board anymore either...

I also did not mean for that to be so high.. I also wondoer if AOD was having a glitch, my ram was above 1200mhz and is is 1066 ram LOL...I went to open CPU-z to see what it said and the system crashed..I never got to see. so it was either right and was not stable at all,,or a board fluke and AOD messing with my head.

I just had it set to just over 2.5NB and 2.2HT, 4ghz cpu in XP and it seemed stable.

I have been doin some 3ghz CPU, 2ghzNB and HT benches to compare against my 9950 at those same settings. I just ran a Cinebench run in Windows 7 on the CPUs..I can't say which chip this is tho

there´s a screenshot of 4ghz/cpu anf 3ghz/nb somewhere in the m3a79-t thread.
it wasn´t very stable though.. his board went belly up after a few minutes.

It was a my first 2mins of OCing the chip and only 2 mins...then

I set the primary OC in bios, then opened AOD and uped the HT ref...I hit Apply and eveything was wacked..I was using a 1:2 divider and ram was sky high..so was NB...I only had time to get a screenshot then then went to open CPU-z and well like I said.. no more asus. I am not using AOD anymore

I am scaries

Holy crap charged no wonder the thing crappy out your voltages on the memory and nb are way high from what I've seen. 2.4 isn't insane but I can't imagaine how hot your mosfet's and northbridge must have gotten.

3000 nb boot and 670 is insanely high and gives more power to my theory of even higher nb possibility on am3...granted not a massive amount at this point but it's guaranteed there going to push these chips as hard as they can to try and get a good spot between yorkfields power consumption and nehalem's performance.

Wow Awesome!! Looks like intel finally has some oc competition. I think everyone's gonna have a lot of fun this year.

perfection.. ugg i want that LMAO

**BenchZowner** · 01-03-2009, 03:11 AM

Here's the last teaser for now

All CPUs clocked at 3.7GHz

**Hornet331** · 01-03-2009, 03:58 AM

lol gpu limited in UT3.

**informal** · 01-03-2009, 04:06 AM

Thanks for the teasers BenchZowner

.Deneb performs really good and hangs pretty well with the blue horde

.

**leoy** · 01-03-2009, 04:20 AM

I think that in high frequencys, phenom keeps up better.... there isn't any clock to clock deficiency.

**HondaGuy** · 01-03-2009, 04:22 AM

just think if I had a M3A79-T Deluxe.....Once someone else gets a Phenom II on that board and I see the results I just might get myself one, as for now just going strong with the M3A32-MVP Deluxe

Man i start to believe that your board is one of a kind....
Don't take the m3a79....
