Is the M3A78 with SB700 chip set not the same as the M3A 1103 bios?

should be, I would say.

 

[H82LUZ73]

Asus seem to be hiding the M3A32-MVP from the 140 watt list too.It was on the list less then a month ago.Also says all M3A boards support the 45mm cpu with Bios update and there is 1203 bios from Nov released around the 79`s 602 bios.this is the heading from the last sentence from the link above

In order to meet user demands for top-of-the-line CPUs that deliver advanced performance, the ASUS M3/M2 Series motherboards will offer the most completed product lines to fully support the upcoming AM3 CPUs.

Also the M3A32 sepcs list and 140 watt list .strange it is hidden on the ASUS site....

yeah, im pretty sure the demand of users demanding a BIOS update will get them too! Just wait and see dude.

When you do get the M3A79-T , you will be the happiest guy alive man, board is awesome !!!

I was going to pick all my equipment up on the 12th of Dec. but unexpected bills pushed the date back to the 24th. It will be a fantastic X-mas gift to myself for sure!!!

the AMD Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition (HDZ940XCGIBOX), 3.00 GHz, Socket AM2+, 8 MB cache (2 MB total L2 + 6 MB L3), 125W TDP , is socket AM2+ !

Is compatible with M3A32?

damn dude, thats going to be great. I am still in wow with the board. Specially going from the M3A32 which suffered from a weak PWM. You'll see when you get it

Oh yeah! I can't wait. I think I might do stop animation while I put it together...make it look like it put itself together....that's if I have the patience!!

new m3a32-mvp deluxe bios 1301 is available now for us using this mobo.... hey Kei hows things?

i was just wondering, how many of you AM2 clockers are aware of the fun you can have with RMclock and dynamic underclocking in windows?

I didnt do it as much as Kei and Viscarious did, but I had my share of fun underclocking/undervolting my phenom.

3.0 Ghz all four cores 1.2v stable



two cores disabled underclocked to 1.8 GHz at 1.1v. Voltage could have came a lot lower but Never lowered it.

 

[Mussels]

no mines realtime - its not locked. 2.625GHz at load, 1.25GHz at idle, with custom voltages for each multiplier.

you kinda lost me at RMclock? whats that mussels?

Neat little program...

[Chicken Patty]

it doesn't support Phenoms though. It recognizes it as a AMD Engineering Sample.

Maybe I do have an engineering sample...




... of the Phenom II 940 buahahahhaha. right, I wish!!!

 

[servermonkey]

sooo while waiting for the deneb to come out, I got bored.......

and revisited the low voltage oc'ing thing......

 

[Kei]

new m3a32-mvp deluxe bios 1301 is available now for us using this mobo.... hey Kei hows things?

Hey, I've been a busy man very much so devoted to my iRacing career (when you're done playing driving video games....get the real deal minus the side effect of possible death) so that sucks up massive amounts of time.

Other than that just livin life, working, etc.

My baby (aka Phenom 9850BE) is running just as strong as ever. I leave it clocked at 2.6Ghz @ 1.152v all day everyday without so much as a hiccup from it. It runs everything like butter of course and uses damn near no power at all.

I recently did a fresh install of Vista (still on 32-Bit...I know I'm slacking) last week and added another hard drive for storage of everything. I've got both drives running NON raid setups with the main C drive only having the OS and installed programs on it (160Gig well 153 after format with 120Gigs free), and the secondary D drive having all files and other nonsense (250Gig with 223Gig after format and 167Gigs free).

Still rockin the single ATi 4850 since it can do basically anything w/o even waking up. The system runs absolutely perfect and of course nice and cool (sitting at 34C with the heat on right next to it, and the cpu fan "spinning" at 592rpm out of 2000rpm+).

All is well inside the box and I won't be changing anything until the new Phenom's come out and maybe adding a sound card (finally).

If any of you guys are into racing (real life) or always wanted to try your hand at driving at the track, or like sims like GTR2/RACE07/rFactor swing on over to iRacing.com and try your hand at the real deal minus the internal bleading and other side effects of hitting a wall.

For those that play other sims be prepared for your extreme humility check when you get here. The only way to describe the level of realism is to think of.....well......heck just go outside and drive around the block really fast and you'll understand (minus the g-forces).

Kei

Btw, it's not free (but not expensive either if you think about the cost of trackdays/fuel/insurance...plus just get a month for $20 to try) and you ABSOLUTELY MUST have a wheel and pedals at the least or you will not be allowed to drive it at all (literally)...it's not a game as you'll see when you get there

 

[eidairaman1]

well i confirmed, my chipset and i think power distro circuitry gets too hot under overclocking conditions, as the CPU remains Cool at 2343 MHz (213x11) under load (32 C) Chipset Heats up to 40 C which is unacceptable as per Hard Locks. Time for a NB Cooler and probably figure out how to get the SB sink off to replace that (perhaps a cold temp will make the epoxy brittle enough that i can twist it off without killing the part-AS Epoxy with not enough AS5 mixed in)

I'll definitley look into that Kei. I didn't order the Logitech G25 yet but I will most likely pick it up in the new year. I will also be picking up the latest full copy of R-Factor. In the meantime I will check out iRacing.com to get prepared!

 

[Chicken Patty]

Hey Kei, glad your doing alright dude. Im gonna go check out that site now, and you'll probably see me on there soon dude. Stay in touch bro, we still need ya around here.

new BIOS

Hello

Just noticied that there was a new bios, 1406, released for the M3A32-MVP deluxe just a few days ago on the 12/02/08. Description listed below:


M3A32-MVP DELUXE BIOS 1406
Fix HDD device Boot priority will reset when change HDD device.
Fix AM2 processor may hang at the first reset if clear CMOS and load BIOS default.
Fix system performance may become low if C1E is enabled in BIOS.
Fix system can't boot from usb device.
Support new CPUs. Please refer to our website at: http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/cpusupport.aspx

However, when searching on the cpu support page, I notice no new cpu's supported. I am wondering if this is possibly refering to the new AMD phenom II processors (the 920 and 940 in particular) that are set to launch soon, and that it has yet to be updated. Some motherboards which have been listed as AM3 compatible, such as the M3A79-T deluxe, also don't have their official supported cpu pages updated, so I am hoping this is a similar case. Would be great if anyone could offer any clarification on this issue, or if there are any plans to introudce phenom II support to the M3A32-MVP deluxe mobo!

well the screenshot says it all

 

[My89SHO]

I had my 9950 Black Edition up to 3.2GHZ. But Kick it down to 3.0 for stability I was stable at 3.1 but wanted to play it safe. I've heard clocks 3.4 or more with them. But for the price of around $180.00 excellent performance for the money! No voltage changing though

yeah if you get a good one, they clock good. The most I can do stable with mine is 3.3 GHz

I wonder where that screenshot is from??
