I just built my first system, and I am unable to quite figure everything out. I haven't found a guide specifically for the M4A79T Deluxe and I would really like to get my BIOS in order so I can finally be running at the best settings.
It scares me to just blindly adjust voltages and settings without completely knowing what they do. I would like to O/C my 955 to a place where it performs well and runs at a decent temperature. I would also like to have my ram actually running at 1600. I have tried tweaking it, its supposed to run at 1.9v, and it crashes at anything past 1.6, I'm thinking the ram I got just plain sucks though, it was on the QVL. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820104016
If anyone is knowledgeable or has experience adjusting the M4A79T Deluxe's BIOS settings and would like to help me, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Well, first off the AM3 platform fsb is 1333 MHz, not 1600... It's 1600 MHz OC only, so until you OC your 955, you will not be able to run your memory at this speed and will occur BSODs.

Yeah, I realized that after I bought it. This is why I need expert help :)

I am interested in this as well.

One quick thought. The memory is DDR3, so you need a lower voltage to drive it. I think mine is 1.5-1.6 range.

I am running a Phenom II x4 955 BE
M4a79T Deluxe
8Gigs of Gskill DDR3
Asus 4870 1GB

For me, I am relatively new to the overclocking scene. I have played around before, but most of the info I have gathered on this newest computer has been from other forums. There are some great guides like this one:

to help with learning how to OC this chip.

The one thing that I always keep in mind is that if I don't know what it's doing, I won't adjust it. I can't afford to just throw away a $200 cpu or Mobo.
