Asus M3A79-T Deluxe

Concerning the 0902 BIOS:

HOLY CRAP! I just noticed that my system will not even boot at STOCK SETTINGS with Auto Express set to DISABLED. Without it enabled my system goes into an endless reboot loop at startup. Does anybody else experience this when Auto Express is set to disabled?

[Jaivan]

No problems with 902 here and Auto Express disabled.
Did you change your ram voltage that might be causing the reboot loop might be trying to run 1066 at 1.8v instead of 2.1v according to your sig.

[Daveburt714]

Mine runs fine on 902 with AutoExpress disabled as well.
I run my PCI-e clock @ 117 (set manually) though, guess that could make a difference...

[gOtVoltage]

902 like the 803 for me.... Auto Express works oN/OFF.



Try a clear CMOS then check Ram Volts HT amd basics...Even Bios temp for abnormal reading. Make shure you CPU vcore is where you set it to. Your volts for the OC on CPU vcore. Ive seen mine mysteriously change only with 902.

Sometimes when im clocking alot with high volts...beer or tweaking HT to Much.

The Mobo will drop to 1.408vcore after a windows shut down. Upon My next restart it wiil then say im @4.0ghz (but im Manually set in BIOS @ 3.9ghz) If i move the HT up/Down 1setting even a single MHZ,, It fixes the problem,,, raises the volts back to 1.63v or what ever insane volt i was running that day.

If by chance the Pc does this = rebboot/it will always tell you Press F1 for setup. TWeak the Voltage and or HT up/down and reboot . Walla problem will be gone.

Note:
40c+ @ IDLE( Mobo may do a reset mode from High temp.( Ooohstock cooler for Fun. )

Thats about all ive seen in 902. Most of you will never see a 40-50c idle , let alone @1.65volts for CPU/NB

803 didnt do it to me , im tweaking on the 902 too much

Nice machine you have built there ......BarrelRider

This Mobo just performs . 955 has a good clock with low volts . AMD has definately has come a long way since Phenom B2

@gotvoltage: do you mean Catalyst : 8.612 5/5/2009
Windows 7 WHQL Driver

i cannont find the version you sugested ....

But ur right, the 9.5 screws up early, will test the 8.612 5/5/2009 Windows 7 WHQL Driver

regards

[Trynity]

ok, flashed the Bios 9.2 and installed the Catalyst 8.612 5/5/2009 WHQL, i'am back @ 3.9ghz, due to the Heat outside i have to go down to 3.8ghz,
i think i need better cooling

Temp wents up to 60C under load ....

Yeaup,, Heat will do that .
When My Room hit 95f couple weeks ago i had to turn my Oc down from 4ghz to 3.95mhz . Im on water..so just a small bump down worked. Thats @ 1.56volts. When your Voltage is Higher Sometimes you will need to lower that too ,besides a simple MHZ adjustment.

Now if the NB is also overclocked you can lower it a notch. Then your not having to lower the CPU's HTT or Multi for Highest Overall. Since the NB adds a lot of heat when overlocked.

As for Win7 yes the WHQL 5-5-2009 you listed is corect. That is a 9.4catylist version. I have not tried 9.5yet with Win7 .

The 9.5 works for me the Same as 9.4 does under Vista 32bit.

Definitely I'm love... Nice Audio from auzen, estability from Asus, power from Ati-AMD, I got an 940 previously, both could reach same top speed of 3.85Ghz on air here... the difference is how it primes rock stable


Prime95 64bit x4 20Hrs

955
CPU 3.72Ghz @ 1.40V | NB 2.65Ghz 1.27v


Before

940
CPU 3.62Ghz 1.48V | NB 2.50Ghz 1.32V

I had nothing but BSOD (IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL) with my Asus Xonar DX drivers (cmudaxp.sys file) and the 902 beta BIOS. The Xonar DX was in the bottom most slot.

I did a force flash back to 703 and no more BSOD. This was on WinXP64.

Just my 2c.

I had to take out my phenom II 940 and put my sempron Le1150 to get this thing to boot to windows :/

I even had a few problems getting it to boot to bios with the sempron.
wth is going on ???

Hm, maybe it's the PSU. Try to disconnect all unnecessary components, to check it out.

well I don't think its my power supply (I don't have money for on of those now)

but probably my power strip is old and probably not giving me all the power it wants and needs.

I couldn't boot with two video cards in, or with my phenom II 940 in.

booted fine with single video card in and just my sempron le 1150

try with PC pluged directly to wall sockect.. Its cleaner power instead of going thruogh strip.. Or you need i High end High current strip that dosnt pull the power down under load from sockect.


I always bench with the PC direct to the Wall , no strip between.

I only have a 650watt and its maxed.

I tried that once I didn't see any difference.

power strip was bad, got a new one working fine now.

although I can't get crossfire working on this now I just upgraded driver to 9.5 CCC.

forgot how it go's

Install first card ,, Install driver,,reboot install second card and bridge install driver if asked and then reboot.

Then Make shure Catalyst has it enabled . Sometime it will install decent with Both cards in , but ive always doen one a time with my old 4850's.

My 3870x2 installs ,,Like Xfire for dummies lol.

I'm getting incompatible display

wish I had a 4870 x2 now lol

[Sunfire]

New 0905 BIOS arrived, don't know anything about it:

Edit:

[imamage]

I wonder if this board have Official release BIOS support Athlon II x2
I am kinda worry to try Beta BIOS for my main PC

Are you Pluging DVI Cable into the Card on the Primary Slot( ToP)

[Stoner133]

Is 905 another Beta or is it an official BIOS release? Still not listed on the US site but that's normal, they are usually a little slow out in California. Can't expect them to update the site till after the second run to Starbucks.

[demonkevy666]

yeah top card

I'm have trouble with it booting with the second card it now even though it worked fine before.

[Sunfire]

BIOS [ 0905 ]
----------------------
01. Fix the issue that the system timer may delay under Vista if enable C1E and Cool'n'Quiet function in bios at the same time.
02. Update Express Gate to version 1.4.6.9.

[demonkevy666]

damn it I just put 902 on >_< damn them

I must had a bad crossfire connector now it's all working fine out of case though.
I can't my power button on the case to work lol
