The motherboard part # at the top of the page
Asus M2A-VM says it is a AM2, but many processors listed here are AM2+ and AM3
The page is SUPPOSED to be listed processors for this type MOBO, so do the AM3 CPU's work on this MOBO or not ???
VERY confusing...
please someone let me know

Socket AM2+ processors may work in socket AM2 motherboards, and Socket AM3 processors may work in socket AM2/AM2+ boards. So, yes, listed Phenom IIs are supported by this board.

Got a Am3 phenom II x 4 3.0ghz cpu to go with this exact board. It would boot up but was only running at 800mhz. Called Asus, got a rude mofo at first basically telling my cpu technically "worked". Went on to explain that while they say this board supports the AM3 cpus, but you may not get "full" benefits of the processor which actually means I go no where near the adverstised processing power. And that is mentioned in the 5001 bios but it didn't go into detail on what that meant. Had I known I wouldnt have bought the cpu.

There was a BIOS upgrade released which allows it to support AM2+ and AM3 CPU's. It's not complete support, but the CPU's listed above do work.

Have you dried disabling Cool n Quiet and turning of un-ganged mode? That should make it run at full speed.

@Shane Hussein: Afaik, these boards only support processors up to 95W. Therefore 125W units are out of the question. You'd be better off getting a reasonable (>= 125W capable) AM3 board if you are planning to spend money on things like the 1090T. It will also make much better use of the processing power and more advanced power management features.

I have two PC's running BIOS rev 1705 on this MOBO. The faster is a 2.4GHZ Phenom, which is a 9750 B3 OEM that I bought used (probably a Dell part #) and the slower is a 9550 2.2GHZ that was purchased new about two weeks ago. Both are 95W CPU's, and both are working great with no problems. I have a third PC, which is the original PC I built in 2008 that I thought I'd murdered when it black screened following my 5001 BIOS upgrade. I removed the CMOS battery for about half an hour and then when I tried again it posted, so I am considering upgrading it's 5200+ Athalon 2 with a Phenom II 945 3.0 GHZ C3, part# hdx945wfk4dgm. Has anyone used this part number CPU and had it to clock up accurately like the little story book says it is supposed to? I've seen the horror stories in a few forums about Phenom II's and/or III's not clocking above 800MHZ. I don't want to drop alot of money into a CPU that won't work on my MOBO when I can get one that's just a tat slower that I know will work for much less money. Thanks.

Thinking about giving a 95W AMD 6-CORE a whirl on my M2A-VM

2011-12-26 20:17:23

My current setup, as described in my previous post - is an M2A-VM with BIOS rev 1705 and a 95W Phenom 9750 2.4GHZ CPU. It is earning a 7.0 CPU rating in my Winodws 7 64-bit OS performance experience test. I don't know what difference it would make for me to go to a much faster processor than this, when my Windows is only rating my memory a 7.2, and my MOBO's memory support is already maxxed out with 8GB of Corsair DDR2 800MHZ PC6400 cl5. Would it be a waste to put a hex in my backup computer under BIOS rev 5001 with this same memory configuration (and maybe migrate the systems between my backup and game cases)? I plan to upgrade the backup's CPU anyway, since it already has a non-downgradable BIOS revision on it (the 5001). I actually saw one possible hexacore CPU priced lower than the Phenom II 945 that I have been planning to buy for this MOBO!

Also, is this MOBO's supported memory absolutely limited by the board itself, when it comes to DDR2, or if a faster processor supported it could 1066 be installed, should I find some that was unbuffered and non-ECC? I don't exactly know much about how CPU's support memory, nor about board limitations and such, etc...

I found something REALLY interesting on the Asus support website. Someone enquired about whether or not a hexacore AMD CPU would work on this board, and the MODERATOR of the forum came back and said the following (and I emphasize his word "SUPPORTED":

QUOTED FROM ASUS SUPPORT WEB SITE:

"Hi 2..

Thuban processor are not supported... but some Deneb core processors are... as you mention. All silicon is different and so it may actually be possible to get a Thuban to work on some of these boards. There are some that dissipate 95watts

HDT65TWFK6DGR
HDT55TWFK6DGR
HDT35TWFK6DGR
"

I DO WANT TO NOTE THAT THE LAST THING LISTED IN THIS POST WAS A LINK BACK TO THE OFFICIAL ASUS LIST OF SUPPORTED CPU'S.

I have to wonder if AMD might be making these processors as a sort of apology for their blunders when Phenoms first came out?

maybe

you can use any speed memory so long as its ddr2 it should work fine the memory will down clock if the speed is not supported by the board or by the cpu as you need a phenom to support the ddr2 1066 or higher memory you most likely do not want to get faster memory then 1066 unless you are planing on overclocking the cpu and need the extra head room also you will not see a higher rating on windows scale then 7.2 unless you have more memory then 8 gigs which is another thing that can be upgraded as the memory support for the board states that 8 gigs is the max which isn't always true as 8 gigs is the max they tested not that max that the board maybe able to do as during the time the board was manufactured 4gig sticks of ddr2 where not around so it could be that they work just that they where never tested so you may want to try that if you see the need for more memory most user will not need more then 8 gigs a faster cpu is always better then more ram good luck

On the memory upgrade

2012-01-03 00:14:23

Posted by: NathanEdwardDavid

Thanks, Ozlay. On the Windows rating, some people have errantly posted in forums that memory speed is the only thing considered, but I know that to be false, because when I went from 4GB to 8GB my rating went from 5.9 to 7.2. On the other hand, I think you may be incorrect about the only way to increase my memory rating being to use more memory. My son got an I7 laptio for Christmas. His computer also has 8GB, but his memory is DDR3 and rates 7.5. I am hoping if I increase my memory speed to 1066 and stay with the CL5 that maybe my rating will go up to about 7.4 or 7.5. I don't know the latency of my son's laptop that runs the 7.5, but I doubt that it's faster than CL5.

I just received my XFX Radeon 6790 last Saturday from TigerDirect, but I haven't installed it yet because my PSU died last Wednesday night. I read one review where someone claimed that this GPU raised his Windows experience rating to 7.9, but I doubt that - since I saw where someone else only claimed that a Radeon HD 6850 only raised his score to 7.5. I don't know what the Radeon 6790 will rate, but I imagine that once I get a solid state 3GB boot drive, my 7.0 CPU will lag behind my other ratings by a tenth or two. Since Asus does not officially support the Thubins (e.g. X6 Phenoms), even though the Asus moderator suggested the three that I posted, I am not going to buy one until I have seen someone else get positive results with one of them in this MOBO. I can still get the X4 945 Phenom II. That Thubin is tempting, though, because I saw one X6 core Thubin listed that was actually about $15 cheaper than the X5 945 that I've been considering. I'll have to swap my flashed MOBO back to my game case, though, if going to Phenom II. I dread that job.

ok

2012-01-03 01:20:40

Posted by: ozlay

what i mean is that with your board the only way would be to add more memory because 1066 isnt completely supported by the motherboard and most likely will not give you a faster score also my 6770 gets a 7.4 so your 6790 should get 7.4 or 7.5 also upgrading your BIOS could increase the scores a little if you haven't already done so

I understand a little better now about the memory problem...

2012-01-07 23:56:02

Posted by: Nathan David

Okay. I've found the problem. AMD Phenom's, including Phenom II's, will only support up to two banks of RAM if 1066 is installed, whether DDR2 or DDR3. This is not a BIOS limitation, but a Phenom limitation that, as far as I know, has not changed. So, if I install 1066MHZ RAM, then I can only install 4GB of it, since I cannot find any 4GB modules of 1066MHZ RAM in DDR2 that is rated PC2-8500. I did find one probably mis-stated set of RAM on Amazon that claimed to be DDR2, but shown as PC3-8500; it was in 4GB modules. So my best option is to try some of the 4GB PC2-6400 modules in matching banks next to two of my current 2GB Pc2-6400 modules (all CL5), to see if my score will rise. Surely I can find some 4GB Pc2-6400 modules in CL5? I have seen this work in the M2A-VM forum on Asus's support forum. I have the latest BIOS upgrade, so this should work for me as well. Of course, if I could find some CL4, then that would be almost as good as running the 1066MHZ in CL5. There's probably some out there, but it likely is not a cost effective solution.

I installed my XFX HD Radeon 6790 this past week, and believe it or not it scores as high on the Windows Aero Experience rating as people are getting with HD Radeon 6850's. It is rated at 7.5. That was a pleasant surprise to me. I was hoping for maybe a 7.3 or possibly 7.4, after having read a review for the 6850 that rated 7.5 in Windows Aero Experience. This truly is a mind bender for me! I had read one reviewer who stated that his 6790 scored 7.9, but after reading that 6850 review, I decided against believing it. Maybe he OC'd his or something. I've never OC'd any of my CPU's, memory nor GPU's. I am very content with my 7.5 rating.

If you are getting a 7.4 with a 6770, make sure you have the latest drivers installed. That might be the only difference between yours and mine?

I found a NIB Phenom II 945 95W C3 stepping CPU on Ebay and ordered it yesterday. I would like to get my CPU to rate as high as my video card, if possible, without OCing. My Phenom I 9750 with much less buffer and running at only 2.4GHZ scores a 7.0 in the Experience rating, so it seems reasonable that the Phenom II with larger buffers at 3.0 GHZ could rise to 7.5 or so. I hope that I am not disappointed when it gets here.

Oh.. about the BIOS...

2012-01-08 00:03:07

Posted by: Nathan David

The PC that I am running with the HD 6790 and the 9750 is still running the 1705 BIOS. When my Phenom II gets here it will be installed on my other PC that blackscreened following my BIOS flash in November, but that I got back up and running after buying this barebone. I hope that you are right about the BIOS flash raising some scores, because I'll be running the 5001 soon enough. Is it possible that the increased clock speed of the Phenom II's memory controller will have a positive affect on my memory rating? What I am hoping is that as a worst case, having an odd multiplier won't slow me down any. I think I'm already running an odd multiplier, though, with my PC2-6400. Thoughts?

Posted by: ozlay

well if you are planing on upgrading to phenom II then you would be better off just getting a new motherboard then spend all that money on 4gig ddr2 sticks something with ddr3 would be alot cheeper then to get ddr2 I think most of the problem is do to the speed of the cpu being only 2.4 ghz you get a lot better rating with a faster clocked cpu something above 3 ghz i mean have an amd 6000+ which scores a 6.3 and i have an 9450 that scores 6.3 evan when the 9450 is a quad it only is clocked at 2.1 ghz and my 6000+ is clocked at 3.3 ghz and is dual core they rate the same as for memory if you study up on ram timings you maybe able to set lower timing in your bios by manual changing the timings to make the ram faster set the cas to 4-4-4-12 instead of 5-5-5-15 and such if you no which settings to change and seting the command rate to 1 instead of 2 if not set aready can get you more speed

You have confirmed something that I suspected all along...

2012-01-09 16:18:14

Posted by: Nathan David

You have confirmed that the Windows Experience rating truly measures the hardware independently of each other. That is what I thought it did, but I still had hoped that by going with a Phenom II that it could somehow affect the memory's rating. If you dual core runs faster than your quad core, yet both score the same, then the experience rating is based on the ram's physical characteristics. So far I haven't founr any 4GB modules that are CL5. I did find a pair for under $100 on Ebay that were CL6, but that's 20% more ticks per cycle. Not sure what I'll do, but for now, my next purchase will be a solid state drive.

Much to my surprise, I found two brands who make the 4GB DDR2 PC2-6400 modules CL5. I don't trust one of the brands, but the other looks legit. For some reason these modules hadn't been coming up when I first searched on Amazon, but now they are. They're a little pricey, though, at about $130 for an 8GB kit/(pair of 4GB). I'm going to have to buy some RAM anyway for this other PC, so it's just a little more to enable the additional RAM. Almost makes me giddy. Now if it only had 21-0 stamped on it with a big Crimson Tide emblem. :-)
