Phenom 9950 overclocking

[Assassin48]

Yea i am really lost because when i run 3dmark the screen goes all crazy but it goes through dosent crash and it shows my score

And a lot of people are getting higher scores close to my setup and some guy with the exact setup as me got low 17000 on 3dmark06 with a 3ghz 9950 BE

i dont know what it is
could i just be unlucky?

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 .

yeah bro. But i believe he is fairly new at overclocking, so you know once you start to up the FSB, your NB starts to clock higher, and the RAM, making you play with voltages more. So thats why we told him to just up the multi. But once he gets the feel for it, he can start to play with the FSB and multis, voltage, etc.

it depends also how he got 3.3 Ghz. Maybe he was running a higher FSB, higher clocked RAM and HT link. things like that make a difference.

he told me he just uppd the cpu multi
i did a little bit more cable management an a few more pics before i change up the tubing

looking good bro!!

I had to scrap my idea of getting the Asus M3A79-T & Phenom 9950 and instead settled on the Asrock 790GX and the X2 5400 Black Edition Brisbane. Don't want to spend too much money on my self so close to Christmas. From what I'm seeing about those 5400 BE's I should have as much fun overclocking it though

Hi first did you run the video card out at 3dmark-06 at all before you put the water cooling on it to get a base line and to make sure it work right ? In the pic. you don't have the PCIe power line from the power supply plug into the card was that just for the pic. ? If not you have to have the PCIe power line plug into the video card to make it run right . Is that 4870x2 i think there 2 PCIe power line that need to be plug in a 6 pin and a 8 pin . Also did you do some kind of cooling for the men. on the video card to get it cool as well ?

thats not a bad choice, that CPU is very popular and definetely worth the money. I had an Athlon 6000+ and I loved that thing, although it wasnt a BE.

Grr my 3DMark score is 12587, what did you all get in the cpu part of the score?

I had to remove the power connectors because i had to re sleeve the connectors thats why there not on the picture and no i didnt run 3dmark before the water cooling i dont think it matters since i havent oced the 4870x2 its a Diamond XOC Edition so its already factory overclocked ( this is my second 4870x2 because i broke my other one by raising all the tabs for ocing) and i have the OCZ ram Cooler i wil be changing hoses this week just got some samples in today

hery server, thats a darn good score for two 3870's

I am going to start overclocking with the FSB tonight, imma name this chapter of overclocking "multi vs FSB" hahah

 

[merkk]

Well when you get it back together i try declock the video card to stock speed than run 3dmark-06 to see if the screen clear up may be the factory over clock is a bit much for the card . I think about putting the stock cooler back on and see if it can run 3dmark -06 without messing up to check to see if it something to do with how the water cooling is working on the card. PS Nice Looking rig

check this out, this guy is a moron. He probably ran super pi and thought holy shit, the E6700 is like three times faster. Another Super PI believer, poor guys


this is a review on newegg by the way.



Pros: A $200 processor

Cons: I “upgraded” from the discontinued Asus P5K3 / Intel E6700 (3.0GHz) to the Asus M3A79-T / AMD Phenom 9950 2.6GHz platform on 10/02/08. Both platforms configured with 4096MB RAM. I do a lot of multitasking work, which was the impetus of my interest in the AMD quad platform. With the Intel platform, I was able to run up to five instances of ConvertXtoDVD while running up to four instances of Lightscribe off a duplicator. As well, I was able to maintain control of the PC. Well, with the AMD platform, I was only able to run four instances of ConvertXtoDVD. Forget about doing anything else. I was unable to open my Lightscribe software, start butting, Explorer, access other hard drives, etc. The system was erratic and all four processors were maxed at 100%. I had to wait until two of the instances of ConverXtoDVD were completed until I was able to regain any reasonable control of the system.

Other Thoughts: I am not looking for perceived faster boot-up times, enhanced Sandra scores, or added FPS in Crysis. What I can state is that AMD’s new 9950 Quad processor cannot hold a candle to Intel’s discontinued Core 2 Duo E6700 processor that I purchased from Newegg in June 2007. In the meantime, I will contemplate returning this platform and wait for the Nehalem/X58 platform to arrive on Newegg’s website. The moral of this story is never second-guess yourself, and you get what you pay for with a $200 processor. I should have stayed with my first choice, Intel’s Core 2 Quad Q9650.

It only happends when Catalyist AI is on standard or Advanced but when i disable it it works perfectly with 3dmark06

CatAI was a technique integrated around the R300/R420 Era of Cards, its meant to try and optimize rendered code, it doesnt work that well and it uses CPU cycles, turning it off greatly enhances performance at least for me.

boooooyah!

nice clock
is it stable?

@cp hey cp look at this!! http://www.techpowerup.com/75433/Palit_Creates_Monstrous_Radeon_HD_4870_X2_The_Revolution_R700.html

Wow 3 slots!
No crossfire their and some people wont be able to get to the sata ports with that
