    Asus M3A79-T Deluxe

    I played AMD M/B after a few years interval.
    It seems to be very stable and good M/B.
    It is a pity that this CPU is unsuitable for LN2.
    BIOS was simple and easily-handled.

    Yes, on an OC board, LN2 will always mean "liquid nitrogen".
    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!

    Random Tip o' the Whatever
    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.

    Have you noticed if ACC makes a difference?

    For many it seems to. For me (on the non-deluxe version) I didn't see any real difference. There was a thread a while back about it and people were reporting increases of 100-300 MHz.

    Just curious Particle, did you try the new "0306" bios on the M3A78-T, and did it help with OC'ing your 9850?

    I sold mine... I know it was a knee-jerk reaction but a friend wanted the board and I was a little PO'd that they rushed it to market with a poor Bios (0204) that didn't seem to support ACC...

    Anyone read the review of this mobo on the Trusted Reviews site: http://www.trustedreviews.com/mother...79-T-Deluxe/p1

    What a poor review, it really doesn't do the mobo justice, its clear that the reviewer has no idea what they are doing IMO, or at least hasn't bothered to spend the time to work out any issues.

    Makes no mention of the system components used to review the mobo, like HDD (SATA/IDE/AHCI/RAID etc). Their attempt at OC'ng was nothing more than amateurish, they said they couldn't get AOD to OC using the multiplier, though they were using the provided AOD v.2.1.2 not the latest v.2.1.3 and then they failed to even try to OC via the multi in the BIOS, and the reviewer infers that the BIOS only allows OC'ng via the HTT ref clock, making no mention of being able to OC via the multi, and they didn't even manage to enable ACC, they mnake no mention of what BIOS version they are using or any available BIOS settings.

    Honestly how do these people ever get reviews published on a site with a name like Trusted Reviews, there is much more trustworthy information avialable here in the forums. This is the second review of a mobo done on that site by 2 different reviewers and both have been equally as poor, the 1st being the M3A78-T now this one for the M3A79-T

    All the info they provided can easily be gotten from reading the product description on the box, the review is a total waste of space IMO....

    Yes, I tried the 0304 BIOS with my 9850. I think ACC was actually working in that release as it behaved differently, but I didn't find a good combo of settings before giving up. I was unable to reap any benefits. It's not a bad board other than that though. I put it in my HTPC.

    I didn't have any problems with OC from BIOS. Everything works fine. There is opportunity to change multi and ACC from BIOS level.

    Anyway - here you can download BIOS ver 0401

    I keep seeing screenshots of the M3A79 and its brown like this one or its jet black. Seeing the difference in user reviews, online shops and ASUS's website. Weird.

    Yes I'ver noticed the same thing as well....

    I'm hoping to get a black one myself when they do finally become available, the PCB color is actually quite improtant to me, its one of the reasons (well other than the stupid price) that I havn't gone for the Foxconn mobo I really don't like the red pcb used by Foxconn....

    I know its a but silly, but its one of the things I like about the ASUS boards, the black PCB's used for the high end mobos, like the M3A32-MVP and the M2N32-SLI Deluxe...

    Most of the brown PCB's I had seen until recenetly were for the M3A78-T mobos, and I thought that the black PCB had been kept back for the M3A79-T, but I've seen a few M3A79-T mobos now with brown PCB....

    I just hope I'll get a black one I guess...!!!

    I was in the same dilema. I really don't like the brown and I'm picky about the color of my components in my system. I canceled my order on newegg cause I'm waiting to see if the PCB is Brown or Black, and for the 125w 9950's. I'd also like to see what DFI has to offer but I really hope that it has a black PCB. My P5Q-Deluxe had a blackish PCB but when light shined on it it did look brownish but
    not as brown as my P5E-VM HDMI.

    You guys are not alone... brown PCB is hideous and I hate it with a passion. I have no idea why even Asus bothers to make them look like crap when people buy cases with side windows. I ordered mine from the Egg today and should get it tomorrow with overnight shipping... I'm really hoping it's not brown. I'll let you guys know.

    Come on Asus... no more brown please!
