Phenom 9950 overclocking

Squark · Nov 12, 2008

Mine is the 125W

Also I'm not sure what actual voltage is going through the chip, the bios is set to 1.375V but cpu-z is reporting 1.39V :confused:

BTW the 59°c only happens when running the Large FFT in Prime 95, in Blend it sits at 54°c

my 125 watt does 1.25 1.26 stock at 3.1gig idles around 34-38 highest under load 58

What voltage do you use for 3.1Ghz? Also, what FSB/Multi is that at?

Mine seems to BSoD at any less voltage.

you should be able to do at least 3.1 GHz on default voltage. What are your other voltages set up? NB, Processor NB, etc. You can take a pic of the bios if you want, that'll be even better.

Thanks
I'll up a pic soon

cool, will wait for it.

ACtually I think you should be able to do 3.0 GHz on default voltage, I can do it so you should be able to also.

try giving the nb and the sb one bump in voltage. Also, disabling CPU tweak will decrease temps by like 10ºc. But having it on gives you a nice performance boost

@CP I have NEVER seen CPU tweak could you tell me what is is/does?

Which NB voltage?
What do you recommend that I bump it to?

This is strange, when I start a prime95 session the core voltage reported in CPU-Z jumps up :confused:

is that to do with CPU tweak being enabled?

it is in the BIOS. Under CPU config. Good boost in perf. but also boosts your temps higher heheheh :laugh:

bump the NB core voltage up the next setting, I believe it goes in increments of .2V.

The jump in voltage is normal, mine does it too! even with CPU tweak off. I guess its just normal to flunctuate like that.

Squark · Nov 13, 2008

So will bumping the NB voltage enable me to lower the CPU core a bit, or just let me clock a bit higher?

I'd like to have it running at 230*13.5 for 3.1Ghz really, so long as the temps don't push too high

dont think it will let you lower the CPU voltage. But it helps stabilize overclocks. Also, bring up your processor NB voltage up one clock too!

hey cp....
asus and msi have said that some of their boards will support am3!! u know what that means?????????????

the only asus board that matters!!!!!
m3a79-t dlx is @ the top of the list!!!!

Squark · Nov 14, 2008

I'm even more happy with my deluxe board now

H82LUZ73 · Nov 14, 2008

You guys running bios 602 ? I just did mine and it has cpu prefetch enabled try disable after,So far seems stable.

I wasn't aware of a new Bios, thanks.

I'll give it a go soon.

just thought id share this one with all the AMD fan's out there....
I was playing Gears of war the other night online against a buddie that moved to the Intel dark side.... he kept braggin how little his quad O/C'd to 3.6GHz whas running on each core while playing........... well he said.... ( 46% ) thats what my cores are running at.....
HAHAHA i said to him.... im at a WHOPPING 26%...... and thats the highest of the 4 cores....

Well since were both running G15's we can monitor all kinds of goodies while gaming.... blah blah... lol....

but like i said.... just wanted to share this piece of info to all my AMD buddies :toast:

P.S
i still hate Intel
here click this fine azz videooooooooooooo!!!!!

haha thats pretty crazy. The only thing right now about intel that is really making me think is the Core I7 920. Some guy clocked at 4.0 Ghz (they do that with a breeze) scored over 8k CPU points in a 3dmark 06 run. Thats freaking insane!!!! But i will try deneb first

Strangely enough bumping those voltages made my system unstable :confused:

Weird!

wow i just my be holding off on my next build CP..... i checked hardware cunucks and seen the results of the I7 920.... for that price tag its worth it.... oh please tell me im wrong!!! is the new AMD even going to be able to compete? :confused:

yeah weird as it seems it happens.... i have similar problems with my rig.... cpu likes 1.3850v and hates really anything higher than 1.40v....
are you now on auto? nb and sb volts i mean.
if so just set them manually and than try playing around to see how it pans out.. :toast:
