( Simple Test ) ASUS M4A79 DELUXE AM3 / AM2+

[merkk1]

Nanohead
The angle one are easy to plug into (HAF932 case ) heheheh .

[charged3800z24]

And I still wish they would put a CMOS reset push button on the board, instead of that annoying jumper. I feel like a car mechanic each time I have to excavate for it

I made my own

and on the angled SATA, in my current case, they are a pain. But it all comes down to setup.

What new Gigabyte board do you speak of, I haven't seen any new ones lately for the AM2+ or new AM3.

There's the GA-MA790FXT-UD5P (rev. 1.0) - their first 790FX/SB750 board AFAIK

and

a 790X/SB750 board called GA-MA790XT-UD4P (rev0 1.0)

both DDR3.

I just want to share .... last weeks I recieve new motherboard from ASUS in my Country ASUS M4A79 DELUXE...this board very promising...and use with new Chipset AMD® 790FX / SB750..ok soo let see..

Hazzan, what RAM and vDIMM are you using there? 536MHz at 4-4-4-12 looks killer to me

Cheers

Finally, I like what I see. Maybe the board makers will finally shed some specialty on the Phenom Platform.

Hopefully the BIOS is up to the task.

The customer review is wrong saying about older boards not supporting AM3.
what a dimwit.

Typical newegg retards... er "reviewers"

I'll have my board wednesday

[jonspd]

waiting result to see if I should grab this or wait on the giga board...

2.36 Volt but actualy my RAM still work on VDIMM 2.225 volt for that setting....

I was going to wait on the MSI AM3 board, but since the 945 (now 950?) was pushed back until at least april I decided to just pull the Trigger on the M4A79. Sorta wish I had grabbed an Open box M3A79-T for 130 but watcha gonna do.

[Final8ty]

Well the M4A79 DELUXE is here & there are quite a few diffrences bettween this & the M3A79-T if you look closely enough.

[afireinside]

Installing vista right now... takes FOREVER.

Oh and ASUS still uses 30 year old bubble gum as "thermal interface material" on the chipsets. Took quite some time to clean off. And the whole heatpipe assembly is feather light. Probably not a single bit of copper.

[informal]

afireinside you are back on AMD again I see .

I remember your AM2+ Athlon 64 tests back in the day,you had a fun time testing it back then .

Good luck with your testing

PS vista installation is the most boring process of all lol

[Final8ty]

The Vcore is rock solid, it just never moves at all.

Just ran OCCT had 0.00 ripple on all voltages except the ram with 0.02 ripple.

I would say that the bios needs maturing a bit as changing some things from Auto like CPU/NB vcore just makes it plain unstable.

Pity its going into a friends build because of PCI & PCIE slot arrangement & only seeing 4GB of my installed 8GB of ram & the loud popping power up sound going the through my Creative X-fi Pro.

[Dumo]

Its a good board. Boot up with NB @ 3000

[Final8ty]

Its a fantastic board.
But for me to get what i need, i will would have to sell my ram at a silly price & buy new that will do 8GB on this mobo & get gfx card specific single slot water blocks so that i can use both the PCI slots.

MORE INFO!!1!1!11!!one!1!1!1elven! erm, please?

What are NB temps? Is it also stable at 1.4v for NB@3 jiga hertz?(i assume not) Dose it seem like your Ph II is OCing any better? And when will you give me that board?

Don't really care about stable or not, as long as it can finished benches.

Here 3Ds...

Lookin good Dumo! What cooling? Single stage phase?

I would say that the bios needs maturing a bit as changing some things from Auto like CPU/NB vcore just makes it plain unstable.

Hmm... I generally have instability with CPU/NB volts other than stock. For instance if I change from "auto" to 1.4V now, my OC will go from stable to BSOD. HOWEVER, there was one combo with 2700mhz NB speed where increased voltage brought stability. I really don't know... What I do know is that I can't OC my NB worth crap. 2700 is as far as its gone

I get the same problem moving my CPU/NB volts other than stock.

And 2700 is also are far as i have gone.

[Dumo]

@ AFI, Its phase ss.

Try add more on NB/CPU and NB volts.
