Asus M3A79-T Deluxe

[RASTAVIPER]

Ok, after some quick tests I can definitely say that the new BIOS 0703 gives better perfomance both in single-thread and multithread benchs like Super Pi and Wprime.

[vfx]

Quick question, I'm running a 3870 X2 in the first blue PCIE slot, I have a single 3870 in the second blue pcie slot. Is there anyway I can make the 3870 the default adapter instead of the single 3870?

[pinoyxpryde]

I'm pretty sure it's in the BIOS settings to choose which pci-e slot is the primary graphics

I'm pretty sure it's in the BIOS settings to choose which pci-e slot is the primary graphics

yes there is. Ihad to do that with that board once.

Should be under "CHIPSET" in the BIOS

You will have to use the F4 key to access that ^ afaik

Can sameone tel me if this memory kit

G.SKILL DDR2 F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK 2x2GB

http://newgskill.web-bi.net/bbs/view...esc=asc&no=115

http://www.gskill.us/166.pdf

are compatibles (works fine) with Asus M3A79-T Deluxe

thanks

In QVL MARK 1) "SUPPORT FOUR MODULES INSERTED INTO BOTH THE BLUE SLOTS OR THE BLACK SLOTS AS ONE PAIRS OF DUAL CHANNEL EMORY CONFIGURATION"

BUT NO MARK 2) "SUPPORT ONE PAIR OF MODULES INSERTED INTO EITHER BLUE AND BLACK SLOTS AS TWO PAIRS OF DUAL CHANNEL MEMORY CONFIGURATION"

I´M CONFUSED 1) YES AND 2) NO?

THANKS

You can use them either way. I have 2 kits installed now and i had just the one kit for a month with no problems.

Can you run 8gb of 1066 dual channel on this board?

I see stuff saying that 1 channel per core and clocking it down to 800mhs and all that.

I would like to buy 8gb of ram at 1066 dual channel, but if i cant run it at 1066 in dual channel, whats the point?

Does it just default to 800mhz and you have to manually set it to 1066 or is there more to it?

Can some one enlighten me? Please

[Trynity]

i can run @1066 very easy, currently i'am @ 1120

Bios sets it default to 800 so that i have to set it manually.

[Tom128]

I have no issues running my 8gig @ 1066. I've had it higher actually.

[Exsomos]

so you have to set it manually.

No Biggie..... Thats good...

Is it running in Dual Channel though at 1066 still? Or that a bios setting that i have to set as well?

[Trynity]

runs as dual channel by default

Guys wanna hear some hilarious stuff?

I was messing around in steam with my new microphone and setting up stuff etc, well then it totally messed itself up, i lost my REAR PANEL audio once and for all, it continued to work in front panel, but not back at all. (no problem here if my case or this motherboard wont give so much interferience and other noises like when dragging a window with mouse etc), then i started to look thing up why it wont work with rear panel at all, tried so many things that i dont want to list them here.

Tried VISTA and 2x Windows XP installations, VISTA worked fine and worked always, but these 2 XPs didnt at all, always the same, front works - back doesnt.

After 2 days of investigation, I just found out that windows and ATI/AMD chipset/GPU-drivers installs the REAL Integrated soundchip drivers to the HD4870 soundchip! And likewise HD4870 drivers goes to soundmax motherboards integrated chip, it LOOKS OK, but never works .. its amazing that those two uses almost the same drivers.

Can happen with 3870 series too...I usually have to reinstall the Creative sound card driver after the Vidio card Audio driver(under XP Sp2/Sp3 . If not the Videocard Sound driver will always bork the Onboard sound or Creative XFi.

No problem under Vista 32/64

you do know you can choose which sound card to use in the control panel (on XP 32 and x64), right?
you don't need to reinstall drivers.

I have my Xonar D2X and X-fi XtremeMusic in my PC at the same time (under XP x64)
I use the X-fi to play games, and the D2X for everything else.

Yes sir,, good point too.

It was only buggy when i would install 38xx,48xx series Drivers in which it would default to Videocard Audio instead of the PCI oe PCI-E sound card driver after a catalyst driver install. Thus i just reinstall the card driver from scratch anyways.

ok peeps i what to know how this overclock is cause im on air

is this a good score

Wow...do people still use 3Dmark03...!!

I almost choked on my coffee when I saw a 70K score... then realised it was 3dM03 not 3DMark06... Oh how I grinned... once I wiped to coffee of my face..

I have completely different experience... unfortunately

two kits a) OCZ Gold DDR2-1066 (2x2GB) and b) OCZ Platinum DDR2-1066 (2x2GB)... none of them can't work Prime stable with rated frequency and timings/voltages
(I'm, running only 4GB, w/o mixing the kits)

As comparison, they do work as they meant to work on DFI's 790GX, MSI Platinum, and GA's 790GX mobos...

It looks like I'll need to go with DDR2-800

hey guys, finally picked up a 720, im coming from a brisbane, so its my first go around with a phenom. i have 4 sticks of gskill F2 - 8000CL5 2GBPQ. from what i have read this ram likes a trc of 45 or higher, but i am unable to choose a higher setting than 20 something in the bios. any way around this? most people have no problems running this ram at 1066, but im having a bit of trouble getting it stable there.

currently working on getting stable at 3.55ghz 263x13.5, ram at 1000. occt ran for about 8hrs there, but it blue screened overnight. weird. im going to drop my clock back down and see if i can get the ram squared away again. if anyone can give some tips, especially on the ram, i would be gratefull.

You can Select higher than 20 TRC while using 1066 divider Only ATM.. When using a 400/533/667/800 20 or lower is all that BIOS allows.


1066 Divider with lower HTT and CPU multi if your gonna use 45 on TRC. It s that or Loosen the other ram settings One at atime untill she's stable.

Also try 7-8-8-20.. or 6-7-7-20 5-8-8-20... Since your TRC is too tight(Above 20) you should loosen overall Latencies .

Low latency = (20 TRC by bios) ,, which is too tight.
Higher latency + 20 TRC may aliviate this.

In all in 1066 divider you can set higher than 20 TRC. I use 31 and Higher with some 1066 rams myself.

Also Raise the NB chipset/CORE PCI-E volts to say 1.32v for 4gigs or higher. Keeps things a little more stable on the ramslots

P.S 602 and 703 are Most Stable Bios for Overclocking and Ram too.

[Veedo]

Ahhhh, i see now! ill try putting it on the 1066 divider tonight. i will also try to loosen up the main timings, and bump upp the chipset voltage. i miss the athlon xp days when it comes to timings. thanks gOtVoltage!

Hey guys. I've seen ACC options in the BIOS for this board, pictured here: BIOS Screenie from Review, but I've scoured through my BIOS and I can't seem to find it: Picture of My BIOS. I'd rather not tweak using AOD because it seems like its values and the BIOS values are always different and conflicting. I saw a couple posts in this thread relating to the issue, but I didn't see a response. Anyone have some insight on this?
