Phenom 9950 overclocking

But does lapping actually make much difference? do you plaster it with thermal compound after wards?

no, I applied thermal compount just like I had before.


The thing is that the CPU out of the box does not have an even surface. YOu';ll notice if you ever lap, that the copper starts to show on some edges first, etc. see below:

So when you lap, you give it an even or must more even finish and better contact with the heatsink. Lapping the heatsink also helps very much by the way.

Fullinfusion lapped his 9850 and his waterblock and dropped like 10-12 ºc.

this was my first lap ever, my 9850BE, could have came out better, but like I said, first lap ever so overall I was very pleased with the results:

first round:


second round:


final round:

I cant believe it voids warranty all you ae doing is flattening the surface of a lump of metal by a few micro metres

Lol I just increased my clock speed to 3.2 then 3.3 GHz without increasing voltage (still at 1.25v) BSODed, worked at 3.2GHz tho.

yeah well, I asked the same thing hehe.

you gotta see how long it is stable at 3.2 Ghz though. even if it does not BSOD

Most Likely my Graphics card would have buggered

what do you mean your graphics card would have buggered

Well when i increased the voltage in my cpu my graphics card got more glitchy ie it crashed more frequently. It currently chrashes every now and then.

bro I think its your PSU. Now reading your thread and seeing you have an extra value 600w. I have a thermaltake 650W that has worked flawlessly since I bought it, but even then I know I am pushing it. I would suggest a different power supply dude. PC Power and Cooling is the way to go.

I don't think my PSU can draw any more power, it could be my wall socket overloading, 6 things plugged into half a single socket (I split the single socket lead and fed another single socket with it)

Try to distribute everything at your wall socket a bit better see if it helps.

no bro, what I did was I hooked them up to my fan controller Its got 4 knobs for the fans, and then two swtiches for off, 5v, and 12v. So works good.

 

[Assassin48]

what kind of fan controller did you get?
Did you keep those box looking things because i took those off mine.
And i found this

will that work tho?
Because i was going to buy it but i wanted to really know if it will control the cold cathodes i have 4 but without that box looking thing

i have the box still hooked up. I cut the wires that go to the pci bracket thing that has the switch and spliced them to the fan controller so they dont run through the case

Woot i see a fellow Foxconn user (A79A-s) I pop in to say hi, hear there were some Foxconn users in this thread and the bios for the board not that easy to use so if you need some help i try my best (but there things in that bios that are kicking my ass) here my last 3dmark-06 using Vista-64 http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=8765729 and my poor litte 3850s

 

[Assassin48]

wtf seriously how
Did you get 17576 with that when i get 16419 with a
4870x2 and 9950be at 3.2ghz

 

[merkk]

Hi well how are you getting your 3.2 ghz.? Is it with just using multis.if so you need to declock the multis and bump up the NB-HT link speed (FBS) try to see if you get the 3.2 ghz by setting the multi to A=x13.0 or B=x13.5 and run the (fbs) to 230-240 mhz on the NB-HT link .Try to run each at the same speed (declocking the HT link going to slow your ass down) that the starting point . Hope this helps

i got a 17202 w/ 2x 3870s and 3.3

 

[Chicken Patty]

15456 with one 4870, not bad heh??? 3.2 Ghz

 

[Chicken Patty]

hey merkk, thanks for stopping by here man, this poor dude needed some help badly with that mobo. Confusing BIOS bro!!

 

[merkk]

Np Chicken Patty i think if he can get the NB-HT link speed up he find that it will help out with his game playing and 3Dmark-06 score big time .
