Update :
F8 for best unlocking C2/C3's....
Wait for F10 if you want a good Core Disable Bios. F9 is buggy.
Do not exceed 269HTT bus speed in any of the Bioses .. It will lock the IDE/AHCI and drop I/o ports then Corrupt the Bios.Dosnt matter what Phenom CPU you use..It a Bios Limitation...
C3 = Nigher NB and more Stable DDr2 clocking Vs C2....Even more so vs B3...
If i was getting a chip today C3 is the only one id get for DDR2 if you plan on pushing things. Especially with 4gigs of ram or all stots filled.
Ive tried two XFX,5770,
One Saphire 5770
all three had same problem in two differnet machines...

The UD3P is good for a single card platform.Has enuff Bios options to clock a Cpu well.
If your gonna use Two Graphics cards,,
UD4P/5P is alot better bang @ $109 for a 790XUD4P DDR2..if you dont want to buy ram and use existing DDR2. More Options in Bios for tweaking and ability to run two...
Rev 1 is the new revision MOBO as long as you have a REV1.0 it is the new revision.If your mobo dosnt look like the one i posted you have a older version that was still labeled Rev1 or the old UD4 ,,
UD4P.Revision 1 mobos came with F2B Bios..
As you can see F4 is the lowest you can...
M3A79-T needs the 0030Mod Bios or it wont work and wont be stable..
Asus is also working on this new Feature so you can switch ACC firmware .
M3A79-T should be getting a Bios down the Road with it,, if i remeber correct. . They already have it impelmented on many M4 mobos now with new...

Well ill keep it short ive been testing this Mobo over the Weekend , its the new Revison and comes with the F2B bios stock .It will run and boot most chips including a 720 with this Bios. I highly recomend flashing to F5A before you do anything else. It offers best performance ATM and unlockin...
Well ill keep it short ive been testing this Mobo over the Weekend , its the new Revison and comes with the F2B bios stock whih will run and boot most chips including a 720.
First thing i did was Flash the F5A Bios via USB before i did anything else.

For under $150 and less the 720 BE Unlocked NB/CPU can easily clock 3.6ghz with stock cooler . Its already proven faster than B3 and the Nb can Oced like mad too.
AM3 810 or 910 is not Unlocked No NB/CPU multi changes and is priced higher for the bang of a simple 720 BE. If you feel lucky...
Use 4gigs ,,DDR2 1066 for AM2Mobo's with AM3 Cpu ,,,
Use 4gigs ..DDR3 1600mhz for AM3 MOBO/CPU combo.
2gigs will work but 4gigs or more will keep things up to par..
Also AM3/AM2 955/940 PHII will benifit from running NB @2600mhz+ instead of stock ,, there are a lot of options to to...
There nice for 939 and not too many people are parting with them if thats what you want. Thats reasonalble if you have everything else ready to go for a 939 system. Just keep it cool if you intend to overclock so it will live nice.
Im waiting for 955 it still can be used in AM2 with DDr2 and AM3 with DDR3,,Its a nice jump over 940......it is very very nice to oc:D...April is almost here!
Thats real volts. 1.74v on the CPU and 1.66v on the NB..@ 3.55ghz and 2740nb :D
Haaa my 3870x2 On Stock cooler no Vmods. I just installed MX-2 paste thats it.
I only used AOD to show the Volts and clock settings.. i use Bios to Overclock ,, I will not use AOD to...
Hmm ill give ya my 9950 for the 940 you dont like.:D
Do not use or attemp to use ACC with PHII this means 920/940/excetra...
Why you ask?
its already built into the Phenom II and not needed. ACC was mearly for B2/B3.
So if you have ACC and you did not DISABLE IT this will cause...
Pheniox ,, uninstall AOD and try Overclocking again .
The Reg may be messed up from AOD install. It happens some times when one try's to Raise Volts and or Multis in AOD and it dosnt raise the voltage .Also try setting Volts in Bios No AOD.
I Never Overclock with AOD..Its not that great...
Get a ASUS 78-T or a 79-T ,, i have the 79-T and run insane voltages 24/7.. the Mobo is more than capable ATm its one of the Best for ANY Phenom. Im using a 9950 @ 3550mhz with 2630nb/2630HT..
The 45nm 920/940/945 will run huge circle around my 9950 even while clocked to 3.6ghz.
Best High...
Actually the 260's and 280's are maxing the 65nm for the amount of shaders and have huge tdp so forth they clock like crap.
After testing 9800GTX+ (55NM) Above 850+mhz .. All i can say is you will like the new 265/285.. it will be night and day with 55nm vs the 65nm series. EASY 800+ stock...
Hmm i still need to try that new Full version. It has Lots of new Detail and Heavy i mean Heavy graphics optimization. It will Run a lot of High end Cards in the mid 50's FPS wise easy.
I did the Demo and was quit pleased while running 8.12 CCC i forgot to check my Low FPS but the Game never...
Email them..
I believe it maxes with a new 6000+ 89watt. Ive used 5600+ Oced but have not tried My 6000+ back then. the 6000+ was 125watt and the 89watt 6000+ or 6100+ wasnt out yet.So id say No 125watt cpu's recomended. Ill see what i can find
5600+ @ 3.3ghz is all i did with that Mobo...
there is a new Bios out for M3A78 and Soon a M3A78-T bios Both for Phenom II with CPU updates and better clocking ,,
Although i dont have either Mobo anymore , The 804 M3A78 bios allows alot better Overclocks than any Bios ATM on the M3A78. Makes big differance . Stability with Higher...
If anything Make cooling you Number one Priority,, Then start raising the Volts. 1.55v on INTEL is alot. 1.74v on AMD is ALOT.. Not trying to stir the soup but dont push too much volts past 1.5v if you Temps are way HOT(Close to Max Load..) it will cook.
Well ,, after three weeks of running the 2001 and 2101 and 1903 bioses..
USE the 1903.
the 2101 and 2001 are basically the same Bios and share numurouse bugs. No SLI ram EPP function (although the 2001 it worked for two days then wham no more ) Both would reset Bios options on thier Own...
Im using GTX260/Core216
Download the Newest Presision tool 1.3.3 ..the one that is on the Disk dosnt work with 180,xx drivers it will be greyed out..
http://www.evga.com/precision/
The 9800GTX+55nm has lower temps and Clocks way Higher on the Shader and CPU vs 65nm..Thus giving the 55nm the edge with Clock Cycles..@ Idle temps are simalar but Once the Clocks go up its 55nm hands down...It also hybrid..Meaning a power saving feature ,,provided the Driver works like its...
DO NOT USE the 2101 BOIS..i got lucky with one pair of Crucials to boot ...My patriot and Kinston and Viper 1066's would not work with the SLI Mode Timing..Not even with it disabled ..It would only work in 800/667/533/400 mode..If it was set to 1066 it would fail..
Flash to the 2001 then do...
Using a mother board with ACC and using Negative Volts or Minus ACC would be the best way i believe to achieve the 1.05v...I wouldnt trust AOD and infact im pretty shure AOD only goes to lowest available volts that your Bios allows to be stable..
So in short you Must tweak your CPU through...
a Stock 2600mhz Phenom 9950 will be night and day..Also use 1066ram for optimal speed..With unlocked Multis you can achieve 3.0ghz + with M2N32sli deluxe mobo ,,Reliably with STOCK VOLTS and 9950...
