Here's mine with validation. This is with 1.55v real vcore.

comeon Paul, pull out the 4 GHz like people are wanting to see, not the edge of it.

:laugh:

LOL. I don't give in to peer pressure. :laugh:

Honestly though, I'm waiting for my new board to get here before I do any serious overclocking. I'm loving this chip though. At 1.55v idle, I'm at 24c and 41c full load. Damn, I love water cooling.

Here's the new board:

What board are you getting?

ha never mind... didn't see the link!

so whats the difference between that board and the m3a79-t?
I couldn't really find any?

exodusprime1337 · Jan 26, 2009

so what should i be expecting oc'ing the p2 underneath a thermalright ultra 120 xtreme?

Hmm, I'll have to take a look at the 79-T again. The deluxe comes AM3 ready out of the box, no bios update required. Better NB and mosfet cooler. The rest, I'm not sure of until I look at the specs of the 79-T. One thing I'm hoping, is that there is decent vdroop control. That's the only thing I'm struggling with on my 78-T. Terrible vdroop. I have to set it for 1.60v to get 1.56v real.

3.6-4ghz. I'm sure it goes higher tho! I just haven't seen anything higher than that. What's the highest voltage you should use? Anyone know? 1.6v?

its a nice board in all, but to me those PCI express slots will go to waste, considering my ideal is 2 PCI express video cards, maybe a Raid Controller in the PCI E slot and probably a sound card in the PCI E Slot when BlueGears/Auzentech/HTOmega Get around to it (Auzentech needs to dev their own DSP and not use CLs) and leave the other PCI slots for legacy stuff like older sound cards heh.

I'm just looking forward to the 8+2 phase power design.

. Maybe it will handle 8GB of memory better to. I can't run 8GB stable on the 78-T. Not without really loosening the timing and increasing vdimm significantly.

Right now, the best 'guesstimate" anyone has is 1.55v 24/7, and maybe 1.6v or so for benching. There is some speculation that it can handle even more voltage safely due to less leakage, which in turn will slow down electron migration.

That's what I was thinking...but tbh I don't see the point of getting an am3 board with ddr2 memory...you might as well get one with ddr3, unless your like me and think that ddr2 is still better bang for the buck, especially when you are using an AMD board and lack tipple channel, then ddr2 sounds allot better.

Is there any significant differences other than that? because from what I've read m3A79-t will support am3 cpu's with a simple bios update.

johnnyfiive · Jan 26, 2009

My 920 should be here Tuesday. I'm pretty damn anxious...VERY anxious.

exodusprime1337 · Jan 26, 2009

yeah, i'm uber excited. my 5kbe has been faithfull but i don't think the performance i get out of it even comes close to the performance of the p2.

on another note my 5kbe and m2n32 are up for sale now as well.

ShadowFold · Jan 26, 2009

All boards with SB750 do PII out of the box, some just require an update to get the full 39.5 multiplier and all that.

DarkEgo · Jan 26, 2009

Would you guys get this or this for a mobo\cpu. Or a DFI 790GX woth a 920?

bad links

ShadowFold · Jan 26, 2009

I wouldn't get that gigabyte board. I heard it's got problems. I'm telling you, the DFI 790GX is really good. Mines been really good so far.

I almost bought the DFI DK 790GX, but there is no vdroop control on that board. If that doesn't concern you, then it a great choice. I would definately go with a 940 though. It will give you more flexibility. I am currently running the 78-T. Good board, but it has significant vdroop.

Hey Shadow, did you ever do that vdroop test for me?

ShadowFold · Jan 26, 2009

I have no idea how to test it.. I have my CPU set to +75mV, idk what the stock voltage is, but would getting that help?

jbunch07 · Jan 26, 2009

so far i really like this board... I waiting to get me a 940 before I overclock it though

Doesn't really matter what speed and vcore you are at really. Just go into the bios under the hardware monitor section, and check what your real vcore is. Then, boot into windows, and start smart guardian. Smart guardian will tell you the vcore, then put it on load, and see how low the vcore drops.
