Asus M3A79-T Deluxe

**gOtVoltage** · 06-12-2009, 09:02 PM

Well i jus tset up the M3A79-T again with 720 installed,, flashing 905,, hope its better than 902 for overclockng.

803 has given the best Oc results with my 9950/720. The 902 did same clocks but sometimes would Not work on same Multis as the 803 with out affecting my CPU volts and HT..

902 Has some wierd bug on voltage when certain HT or HTT settings are used. Mainly above 290HTT.

time to load the 905

2:16A.M. Saturday morning.
UPDATE,,

905 seems pretty solid. THe temps for CPU seem High in Bios .. In windows it reports 10c lower and My DVom reads 10c lower than than what Bios reports. It is higher temps than the 803 for my 720.

In all not too bad a Bios Has same Buggyness above 293HTT while using variouse HT settings . It causes Voltages on CPUvid to change or lower when using CPUvid 1.41v and 1.52v .

No unlocking feature.. i was Hoping Beta would have it. Dang ASUS has it for m4's , this thing is no different than M4 its still SB750 lol. I want to be unleashed .

Official 9.6 is out now

I didn't have any problems with Cat 9.5 and just dumped those for 9.6 and so far they work fine as well. Also flashed to BIOS 905 today and it seems to be working fine here. Haven't pushed the overclock, the 940 is stable at 3.8Ghz. Should be cooler later this week so I can see if it will hit 4.01Ghz like BIOS 901 allowed. Wish I had A/C in the room would try it right now.

**Stoner133** · 06-16-2009, 11:25 AM

Update on BIOS 905, I wanted to check Asus claim about Cool & Quiet and C1E together. First thing I had to do was cut back on the overclock since Cool & Quiet doesn't work above 3.7Ghz. Then I set both Cool & Quiet and C1E to enabled. Didn't notice any problems at first but went into town to do some things and left the system running while I was gone. Came home and found the system clock lost 1 minute per hour while these two were both set to enabled. Disabled C1E and just left Cool & Quiet enabled and clock works fine.

Another BIOS arrived:

[ 1001 ]
----------------------
01. Fix the issue that the CPU fan speed may be incorrect under Q-fan "Slient Mode".
02. Reduce the thermal of the CPU.

how is that possible ?

my board sometimes resets :/ but it' like the hard drive starts acting weird and slow.

sometimes it get this weird line before it boots too.

probably "Auto" Vcore isn't 1.45V anymore

Ive had that happen too. I thought it was just me...I also Noticed that the Temps on any CPU read hiher than the 803Bios with 905... So ill be trying the 1001 Sunday.

Exactly,, Also i think they Fixed Temp sensor reading too or lowered it.

Does anyone see a option for unleashed yet.? I really wish they would for this Mobo

Good news and Bad news GV...
I flashed 1001 tonight, so far so good.

Still NO "Unleashed" option.

I haven't tried with this release yet, but 905 was giving all kinds of problems with saved BIOS configs (could have been the beers I guess

).

**Tom128** · 06-21-2009, 10:33 AM

1001 seems a bit weird to me. I flashed, restarted, all my settings were back to auto. Loaded my OC profile and restarted, was prompted to redo BIOS again. Repeated, same. Then I just went in, saved it with everything still on auto, restarted, and it stopped prompting me to go to BIOS. Restarted again and it let me keep my settings after that

Seemed fine after that but then I went back to testing my max OC with C&Q enabled. For some reason it does not like always restarting now with voltages over 1.45v when it used to restart fine. I just now had to resort to flipping the switch on the PSU and waited a few minutes and then turned it back on and it seems fine, not even a no-post warning. The reset button and holding down the power button would not post, the PSU switch was what I HAD to do to get it running. Not sure why my method to turn off/restart mattered but oh well.

On the bright side of things I am up to 3,829Mhz (18.5x207) on my 955BE at the moment and C&Q is still working just fine

**Sunfire** · 07-01-2009, 12:28 PM

Just a quick test (PhII 550BE @ 4 core):

Valid

I had to use BIOS 0803, 1001 is a no go

So you don't have to use the mod bios to unlock?

No, I just set ACC -> Auto, and after the next reboot it was a Phenom II X4 B50. With 1001 I couldn't do that.

**Blazer_** · 07-02-2009, 04:05 PM

Nice.

I sold my Asus and PII 940 "years ago", but now i want test PII 550 + asus but what you can do, if i dont have that mobo.

PII 550 is very interesthing prosessor, can you unlock +2 cores with any PII 550 ? Great prossessor, OC good and very cheap, and if you can unlock cores, that is very nice.

But that mobo, i was very dissapointed, 180e mobo and IMO it was worse than Foxconn A7DA-S, Foxconn make score MUCH BETTER in wprime and i managed OC it more (siqnature), i didn't OC my stone till the ens(sry my english) becouse i thought with Asus i can OC more, but it didn't, damn.

The AMD OverDrive didn't work ( i had to OC with steps, 19x,20x, u know..) and i couldn't touch FSB.
With Foxconn came Foxconn own software, wich was pretty good !

But i reallyy can't understand wprime score..i just run quickly with foxconn wprime (24/7 windows,15x267=4005MHz) and with Asus i run it with fresh(!) Vista 64bit and with couple tweaks at 14.5x276=4002MHz and it make lower score

Foxconn was 790GX and Asus 790FX, so memory ran quicker than with 790GX, just can't understan.
And then i came at one compotiion only n2, not 1n (I tryed to score biggest score with AMD) that i aim.

So as you can see, i am very dissapointed to this mobo..

It didn't hurt, when sold it.

This Asus is luckily OK, but it don't liek meory wich i use (OCZ,Corsair or Geil, too bad)

Sorry for offtopic..

I have missed 2-3 bios upgrades and this THERMAL change seems interesting to me.
Has anyone noticed such a difference in the CPU temp?

I don't see much different with my 955BE setup
the temp idle/full load is similar , maybe 1 ~ 2 C lower

**EniGmA1987** · 07-21-2009, 07:49 AM

ill update my bios today and let you know. It has been super hot lately where I live so I had to back down my OC to only a 200MHz increase on my PII 940. Hopefully I will see a couple degrees improvement, although I find that unlikely.

**Stoner133** · 07-23-2009, 09:07 AM

Has anyone tried the new 1102 BIOS yet? I see its on the ftp site. No info posted on any changes and its not on the Asus USA download site as of yet.

**Darknight** · 07-23-2009, 09:33 AM

already seen , and I did the download,
now i have that flash, see the differences.

if somedoby try, tell the diffrences.

**Tom128** · 07-23-2009, 10:11 AM

I would love if they added an "Unleashing mode" to this board.

**Stoner133** · 07-23-2009, 12:04 PM

I went ahead and flashed to BIOS 1102. I see no new features in this version but so far I like it. When I went to BIOS 1001 I saw my boot to windows time increase a bit over BIOS 905. Now with BIOS 1102 my boot to windows time is now back to what it was with BIOS 905.

**Darknight** · 07-23-2009, 12:08 PM

well

time to boot, is a unique diference?

**ASharp** · 07-23-2009, 01:17 PM

[ 1102 ]
----------------------
01. Fix the issue that certain network card can not be detected on PCIE Slot.
02. Support new CPUs. Please refer to our website at: http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/cpusupport.aspx

Looks like that's all.

It's not any great increase in time. Just I never thought 1001 booted that great. 1102 boots like it should, like 905 did.
