    Chip came in. I'm a little upset with my M4A79T. I can't ever save BIOS settings or it'll refuse to POST until cleared, even if no settings are actually changed.
    Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
    As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.

    Rule 1A:
    Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.

    Rule 2:
    When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.

    Rule 2A:
    When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.

    Rule 3:
    When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.

    Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!

    You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.

    Just playing with mine now.

    M3a79T deluxe 0803 bios. Single 4850 gpu modded for low idle power. Water cooled.

    For a quick start I used the bios settings from my 720 and trimmed back the multipliers. 3.8 looked ok in Prime as did 3.9. I could not get 4.0 to prime for more than 15 minutes so switched back to 3.9 for a while. As the 12v line was showing 11.6v I checked the plug in watt meter. For reference the 720 idles around 150w @ 3.8 1.55v, the 955 @3.9 1.55v is idling at 220w, up to 380w under prime As my Tagan psu is a 450w model and prime @ 3.9 has just failed at around 1 hour it looks like I'll have to break out the 750w Seasonic

    Silly power draw for 24/7 operation. If I can't get below the 180w idle mark at 3.8 then this chip will be looking for a new home

    Thats not a 720 Way to much volts.........the Phrase less is more applies here. I would start from scratch, when i got mine I took the same approach and was dissapointed. I took a step back started from scratch and was pleased....

    Thanks for that chew*

    I'll scale back to my reference 3.8, find the sweet spot then try again

    Edit:
    The above reminds me of booting an old 939 chip at 3.2, the Tagan roared. Who would have thought such a small piece of silicon could handle the best part of 430 watts

    It's not much so far, but it's a start:

    Anyone know if ganged is better for SuperPI?

    What is a safe upper limit on the CPU/NB, for reference? Pretty much the same as the CPU cores?

    Attempt #2:

    Doing better, but still unganged. Having trouble with NB overclocking. The same question still stands for voltage, btw, if anyone knows.

    CPU/NB it was around 1.4 iirc on the previous PIIs, I think I remember gotVoltage at 1.5v, definitely worth a quick search on his user name.

    The last time I enabled ACC to see what it did I discovered an extra core. No such luck this time -2% All looks promising, +2% All looks promising, either appears to stabilise my cpu at 3.8 with 1.425v set in the bios - I'll investigate further. A short time playing with ACC is not helping at 3.9GHz and the slippery slope of more and more voltage looks unavoidable for the moment.

    My 720 hit its sweet spot at the same frequency, something to ponder. 5:30am, time for bed.

    +.250 to +.275 is max I would imagine for air, anymore just tosses way to much heat.......

    Voltage limit of NB/HT is the same as the CPU = 1.5v

    Atleast thats AMDs "recommended" limits.

    Have people tried OCing each individual core to see how far they go?

    They don't all have to be at 4Ghz...

    lol

    i can prime in vista 64bit for 15 min and i cannot get into xp 32bit at same settings? then i test best acc setting (rofl -6% for xp when for vista it was +6% before??), finally i enter xp, do some super pi, decide to reboot and set a little higher nb and it doesnt boot? cmos clear, afterwards acc on same setting as before no worky?

    i went back to vista and to acc disabled for today xD

    that rig is playing with me rather then the other way round... dammit.. try to find some good 24/7 first now ^^

    Congratulations for the amazing results...i
    Sorry to ask in this thread, but i have a problem to validate my results...

    I tryed with many diferent clocks and times but isn t possible




    i can run superpi and pifast near than 6200 Mhz, and i noticed that have stability to validate...but i tryed and tryd (i give up...lol)
    Another problem is...after i did try to validate at 6221 Mhz and is rejected...all the validations appear with 6221 Mhz (exemple...i did try to validate at 5500 Mhz and saved de cpuz file...but when i tryed to validate it validates (rejected) 6221 Mhz)...
    Can somebody tell me what s happened?

    Sorry the broken english and thanks for all

    I think that this has happened before...
    It's propably due to the fact that the boot speed and tha actual speed is very different, cause u propably used k10stat or AOD to reach that frequency.
    I think chew has reported that, and he is more appropriate to answer.
    Try booting closer to the validation u try, and do the last mhz with aod or k10stat. I think chew said once 400-500 mhz is the limit before cpuz rejects the validate. So booting at around 5.7-5.8 ghz should fix the problem. If that is possible, and if this is actually your problem.
