ASUS M4A88T M REVIEW FULL
These days mini-ITX boards are designed to bring full desktop speed and features into the smallest form factor possible. This motherboard supports AMD® Socket AM3 multi-core processors with unique 元 cache and delivers better overclocking capabilities with less power consumption. We will collect all comments in an effort to determine whether the Asus.
ASUS M4A88T M REVIEW DRIVER
Obviously that leaves little to no room for overclocking, although mini-ITX boards aren't designed to be performance monsters with tons of headroom - the SODIMM memory sockets should reinforce that thought straight away. Please review Asus M4A88T-M/USB3 AMD AHCI Driver and submit your comments below. Alternatively, you could buy any X6 1055T and drop the clock speed and voltage to hit 95W (you’ll have to guesstimate, unfortunately). If you can find it, there is one 6-core AMD CPU that will fit in this board: the Phenom II X6 1055T (SKU number: HDT55TWFK6DGR/HDT55TWFGRBOX), which is a specially binned 95W chip that'll fit the bill. There’s far more choice than the range of CPUs that Intel H55 boards support, for example. This limits the use of popular Black Edition processors and 6-core CPUs which generally carry the higher TDP rating, but still gives you plenty of Socket AM3 chips to choose from. We previously noticed a couple of AMD 8-series chipset motherboards at Computex - and finally Asus has signed off and one of them has made it to a production run: the M4A88T-I Deluxe.Īs a consequence of mini-ITX size - regardless of whether it’s an Intel or AMD board - both the boards in the link above are limited to the maximum TDP of the CPUs they support, which is 95W. We've seen a few Intel H55 mini-ITX boards recently, including the excellent Gigabyte H55N-USB3 and Zotac H55 as well, however we've been waiting on new AMD boards until now. We however overclocked manually through the BIOS - the results were really dandy as we took it towards 4 GHz quite easily - and again, this overclock was managed with a simple OCZ Vendetta air-cooler.Asus M4A88T-I Deluxe Review Manufacturer: Asus Now what you can do best with AMD overdrive is to determine how high you can overclock and then transfer the final stable in the bios to make it permanent (if you would like that of course). Play around with it, don't be afraid of a crash. In AMD Overdrive you can simply max out the CPU voltage towards ~1.55V and increase the multiplier. The new revision is version 3.2 and it's one of the best tweaking utilities out there.įor this review we used the latest 3.2 beta which has some cool new options.
ASUS M4A88T M REVIEW WINDOWS
However as always we prefer to overclock manually.Īlternatively you can use AMD's Windows compatible Overdrive interface that allows very easy overclocking of the Phenom II processors. in the case of this motherboard we can use the BIOS Step UP function which helps us overclock a nice bit all by itself. We can now overclock in several ways, modern motherboards often have automated overclock features. This processor has an unlocked multiplier. The processor we are using in this test is obviously the Phenom II X6 1090T. If you decide to start an overclocking session with the Phenom processor typically you are much better off with the BE editions (CPU multiplier unlocked).
