Ok, got the M4A79T in today. Anyone got any tips for BIOS setup? When overclocking (4ghz range with CPU multi only) are there any other voltages that need to be raised?

Damy Erocker you need to ask us?..... Common mate you know to set the cpu volt +2 clicks from auto mode and push the multi up till she's not stable. :slap:

1.45v should work

Yes, thank you. I'm talking board specific options.:rolleyes::p Anyways, 1.45v for a x3 720 doesn't work, my old one wouldn't do that either. I imagine a setting like that works for a 955 of which I'll probablly be ordering in a few minutes. My old x3 720 could do 4ghz at 1.55v, this one takes a bit more. I love how this budget build is turing into just the opposite but whatever, budget rigs are useless for me.
:toast:

Also forgot to update the bios, so that is taken care of now. Starting off slowly... 3.2ghz 1.275v with OCCT.

*Specific things I don't know about in this bios:

Microcode Updation: Enabled for now.. sounds like something I might want to have enabled?

Bank Swizzle Mode: Enabled. Does my system truly need teh swizzle? I've never swizzled my ram before, what is it?

microcode leave on and for a 720 1.55v for 4ghz is very normal. bank swizzler is a no idea however the trick for clocking ram on Asus is set DQS strengths to normal.

other settings

NB volts@1.4v gave me 2600 on my 720's and 2800-3000 on my 955/945
cpu volts@1.45v gave ~3.6ghz on my 720s and 3.8-4ghz on my 955 and 1.55v gave me 3.9-4.1ghz on my 945
HT volts stock unless you are pushing HT to get a ram oc i set them max to 1.36v

I find using this formula to work flawless for me...
FSB 210
pcie 100
cpu multi x18
proc-nb multi x12
cpu-nb ht link speed 2.0ghz
processor v 1.45v
proc- nb v 1.2500v
ddr volt 2.10v (reaper HPC style) 1066MHz mode 5.5.5.15.25 T2
ht voltage 1.26v
core /pci volt auto
sb volt Auto or 1.22v

cpu VDDA volt 2.6v
Auto express AUTO
Cpu tweek Enabled
And for Cpu section.....
leave everything the way it is....
hope this helps for a 3.78GHz clock....
this is the mellowest setting i can give ya for the current clock using H20.... but if you need a 3.92 GHz setting hit me up :pimp:

Cool can

Where can I get dice pot and the dry ice? Like what all do I need?

I have a good way to chill your water, this is what I plan on using when ever I can afford to go to water. It is an old race car trick they used to keep there fuel cooler in there cars to help prevent vapor lock .

The part is around $60 and it is made of aluminum so it will great. Or you could allwas make one with an old coffee can.

Oh, I can't get this dang chip to boot over 3.9ghz. Any voltage over 1.55 won't let me boot at all. I wonder if using acc will help at all?

Vista 64bit. I'm pretty sure this is all this chip has in it. Better than some, not as good as others. Now if I can only convince Kenkickr to sell me back the old chip! Or get a 955, we'll see.

How high have you been able to clock your 940BE? 3.7 is as high as I have had mine stable for day to day use. I am sure they will add you to the club. NB I see a huge increase in performace I have only had it to 2.8 though. Maybe I just have a crap chip or some thing. I might take it back and get a new one :shadedshu

Actually I'm limited to 3.5 Ghz because of the limits of the v-core settings in the bios. I'm actually running it at "auto" voltage, but stable as all get out.

I know I could get it higher with a different motherboard, but for now this one is doing fine. I can get it into Windows @ 3.6 but it BSODs after a while of running prime95 or occt etc, not stable.

I know it's all a voltage issue, but I can't manually set the CPU voltage.

Well actually I can but the voltage range in the BIOS is 0.8000 to 1.1750

Like my specs say.. the processor isn't even supposed to be supported by my motherboard. But somehow it not only works, it works very well for my needs.

hmm


now i have one.

EDIT, this thing is easy to overclock, got to here with only 1 hang from not enough juice.





Dont look like im going any further untill i burn it in, and or hook up my ICE Bucket,
(copper coils in a bucket of salted ice water tied into the liquid cooling system)

Im wondering what temps differences you guys run at comparing the 940 and 955, both at 3.4ghz.

Reason i ask my brother his 940 runs with a zalman cpns 9500 on silent around 62C on full load with case open.

My friend reverze with his 955 and a zalman 9700 barely touches 50C ( i think it was 46C).

Which seems like a big difference.
