Asus M3A32-MVP Deluxe (790FX) *Pictures + Benchmarks + Overclocking*

[Oliverda]

just set it in the bios(CL4) on this board, it was a NO GO...@1066

Strange... I can easily use it with my OCZ Reaper modules.

[QuietIce]

Really? The M3A79-T Dlx allows CL4 at 1066.

That might be a good reason to go to the M3A79-T but this is the M3A32 thread - it won't do CAS 4 @ 1066 on an M3A32.

Maybe a new BIOS will be out soon to correct that issue but I haven't seen it yet ...

[roofsniper]

Not at 1066 - the BIOS won't allow it. Minimum is CAS 5 ...

yea i had the same problem a few days ago.

just set it in the bios(CL4) on this board, it was a NO GO...@1066

i set it to cl4 since that was the only thing that could be set to 4 but when i restarted just full fans and nothing. i see that it can be done on the 79-t but hopefully they will put it on the m3a32 someday.

i need some help here :p amd n00b

i have this board and i could overcloced it with the 1203 bios really nice with one AM2 3800+ x2 with 2Gb ( 2x1 ) ram

and then when i put one kit of corsair dominator 2x2 8500 and enable the memory remap i couldn't boot to windows at all i was getting a BSOD with an error that says that the bios wasn't fully acpi compliant or something

with memory remap disable i could boot but only 3.3Gb was recognized on the bios

so i updated to the latest available ( 1406 ) and then disaster :p

once i could boot with memory remap enable once not but i couldn't overclock the board at all even 1 Mhz gave me no post
and once i couldn't boot with memory remap enable and i was getting the same BSOD ( the bios wasn't fully acpi compliant or something... ) and no overclock again

so what do we do now :p i really want those 4Gigs on this board :p

[roofsniper]

for a 32bit OS windows won't show all 4gb. i got 4gb but it only shows 3.2gb. it reserves the other .8gb for other things like pci devices, etc. theres nothing you can do about it. and yea im not surprised that you can't oc those dominators much. i had 2 x 1gb of dominators and they were complete crap. they couldn't do anything. i had to set them to 2.2V just to get them to run 1066 at stock timings and it wasn't even stable. and they were rated for 2.1V. its just bad ram. now with my 4gb ocz platinum i haven't tried overclocking yet but i can run them at stock timings and 1066 100% stable at 1.96 volts.

[Vatos_locos]

no i had 64Bit Vista the 3.3Gb was recognized in the Bios with memory remap Disable not on the OS
with memory remap enable in the bios it recognizes 4GB but i get Bsod
the memories are fine and not defected for sure...
and they can oc @ 1100+ tested on an Abit Ip 35 Pro and i know what voltage they want for every Mhz
the problem is not that i cant overclock the mems but that i cant overclock the board at all even if i set the timmigns 5-5-5-15 @ 800Mhz at any voltage it gives me no post

so as the mems are fine and they can overclock and they are tested with the latest bios i cant even set the vcore at default whatever i tweak it gives me just a no post :S even whit 2x1 Gb ( Gskill D9GCT ) as before with the 1203 Bios now with the 1406 i cant overclock the board at all it's even hard to run at default and it is not a flashing problem i reflash the bios again and again to make sure of it
i'am really starting to hate asus

[stafunzl]

Hi all ;D
I have some problem with my ht-link speed, it is allways the same as ddr ram speed in my case, is this normal or... should i have ht link speed on auto or 1ghz.






I have windows vista ulitimate 32-bit (sp1), i have my comp for gaming and i wanna know which are the best settings for it.

[Vatos_locos]

no it is normal is the divider you are using ram/cpu and your HT same thing is happed when you lock the HT @ 800Mhz in the bios and using the cpu/5 divider

[stafunzl]

Does dual channel work with 3x 1gb ram or u must have in all 4 slots (or 2 slots) ?... because in oldest deluxe mohterboards... i think it was unavaliable.

[Vatos_locos]

no idea m8 try it

[roofsniper]

yea i think it works with three.

[QuietIce]

yea i think it works with three.

But you'd screw yourself out of the dual channel option. Not necessarily bad on a Phenom but killer on a K8 ...

[Vatos_locos]

anybody that has any idea with my problem ?

[roofsniper]

anybody that has any idea with my problem ?

did you try just resetting the bios to the default values?

[HondaGuy]

[Vatos_locos]

did you try just resetting the bios to the default values?

just countless times, no go

[Caveman787]

Hondaguy I hope thats on air at the moment since voltages can be lower on water.

You still gotta push it to 4ghz+ then you've gotta get some dual channel with tighter timings on that.

[tbone8ty]

nice!

[Salser]

You guys have got to see this...



The system is in no way completely stable, its all the fault of the memory though. Sadly if I change the divider I get no boot at all so it has to run at these high speeds. But yeah... we are talking 3.1ghz B2 on a 790Fx board. And then look at my vcore... I really need high htt stable on the 667 divider to clock this thing higher. I'm going to to blend overnight at 11.5x262 to try and iron things out... I want my 3.1ghz stable .

Would you please be so kind and send to me some pictures of your Bios configuration, because I you like to overclock my system like yours or a little lower so that the whole system stays completely stable, but I don't know howe to make the proper Bios configuration.

I am writting to you from Germany so please do not write to compicated to me because my Englich ist not good as yours. smile

My System:
Motherboard:ASUS M3A32-MVP Deluxe WiFi/AP ( Biso AMI, Vers. 1406 vom 21.11.2008)

I have a very bad proformance at 3Dmark06 ( Benchmark ) only ~4000 Score


Thank you forward for your HELP.

Best regards from Germany.

set your fsb(reference speed) to 271. lower your ht and northbridge to a x8 multiplier and set the ram into a 1:2 divider or it will say 1084 after you set the reference speed. change the cpu volts to 1.312 and im not sure what he used for the other volts. you would most likely be better off trying it on your own because a 9600 would be hard to hit 3.1ghz and yours might not get it. but you have a black edition so you can also use all of the multipliers to overclock instead of using just the reference speed.

Here's the post about not supporting four modules @ 1066:

http://support.asus.com/faq/faq.aspx...Language=en-us

M3A -- M3A32-MVP DELUXE -- M3A78 -- M3A78 PRO--
M3A78-EH -- M3A78-EM -- M3A78-EMH HDMI -- M3A78-VM --
M3A79-T DELUXE-- M3A-H/HDMI -- M3N78

Just looking at my Phenom Part number also, what would be the difference between mine(Phenom X4 9850--(HD9850WCJ4BGH),rev.B3,SocketAM2+,Quad-Core) and these...........Phenom X4 9850 (HD9850XAJ4BGH),2.5GHz,125W,rev.B3,SocketAM2+,Quad-Core and Phenom X4 9850 (HD985ZXAJ4BGH),2.5GHz,125W,rev.B3,SocketAM2+,Quad-Core

EDIT: So if I am reading this right I have a HD9850WCJ4BGH which is a 95W Phenom? Phenom X4 Agena HD9850WCJ4BGH 9850 2.50 2M B3 95W

i just ran native specialist and it shows me the same HD9850WCJ4BGH but the only thing i can find regarding that opn says 95w but none say black edition like the other opn now im curious about this opn if all the 9850's show it in native specialist or just some

what do u think the new phenom II 940 will do on aircooling? with this board?

i have a xigmatek s1283 http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.ph...=155&Itemid=62



getting about 39C at 1.375 volts @ 3.0ghz with this cooler.

should be able to get 3.4-3.5 out of it on stock volts, I have.... it should work well together, what case do you have, good air flow?

cool. me wantty

i have a coolermaster 690



so question.....

with these new phenom II's it shouldn't matter as much if u have a sb600 vs a sb750, compared with phenom I's ???

be interesting to see some overclock trial benchs comparing SB chips

[roofsniper]

yea from what i have seen so far ACC does nothing. it might in the future with a bios update but right now it doesn't make a difference.
