Phenom 9950 overclocking

[Squark]

I just popped them back down to what I had them at (not auto), seeing as that hadn't crashed on me.

I would like to have it running at 3.1Ghz though, but when ever I change the settings I can't seem to get it stable.

Oh dear, I think I'll have to leave my tinkering until another day.

the Core I7 is basically a Core 2 Duo/Quad mixed with AMDs kick ass stuff like IMC and HTT

yep, but the results are pretty darn good already. I want to see what the Deneb can do before having to buy a new board, cpu, ram, etc.

Minor Media Tweaks, Gaming Perf is the same, other stuff such as heavy encoding has been improved. for the Core Series anyway.

are you refferring to the deneb?

Well I got me a new case today. Everything is in. I will post pics tomorrow when I get the card reader from my buddy.

Heres a link to the case. Overall worth every penny

Nice looking case that.

Nahh the other one looks better

Nice case Chicken Patty . I just change over to a new case to here the one i got http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119160

bro I originally wanted the TJ07 to put my rad in the bottom compartment, but its too much money bro.

THis case was $150 less and it can house everything just fine and more. The thing is that I will be ordering some water cooling parts soon, so for now its on air. But I got it all layed out already

I was going to get that one, but I found this locally so I picked up the Thermaltake instead, but if it wasn't the TT, it was defintely that one, that case is awesome for the price great buy

 

[ASharp]

Yeah. The HAF is a great case. It's a good size. The possibilities for water cooling are endless. Lots of space to work with and it's all for just $160.

yeah, you can mount rads all over the place on that things hehehen.

I paid $195 locally for the thermaltake, which i Think is a darn good price, considering cases are at least usually $25-30 shipping.

 

[merkk]

Ya your right CP after i paid for the shipping i end up about the same price you did .When i move over to the new case i also took my frist shot at water cooling .I seen on this board alot guys didn't have every good luck with water cool . When i got the case i got the cooler master Aquagate Max water cooler http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103045 i'm just doing the cpu and it kickking ass cann't be more happy for how the water cooling setup work out in the new case.

 

[eidairaman1]

are you refferring to the deneb?

I was Referring to the Core i7 part, but I do hope Deneb is More than what people are assuming it is, Just like how people were assuming the 4850 was going to flop and it winds up even taking on the Top of the Line cards (X2), and makes the head of Nvidia Say that they underestimated the R700 line of Chips.

yeah bro a good watercooling setup gives you great results. Glad you are happy with the case and the water cooling. It gets addicting, you'll even wanna water cool the capacitors!!! hahahha

Yeah man, so far the reviews of the Deneb show the chip is much faster clock for clock than the current chips, but still don't overclock that great. The ones I have seen at 3.5 GHz still need about 1.55-1.6v to get up there, also makes you wonder is it even stable? If thats the case, forget about seeing 4.0 GHz out of the deneb for everyday use, thats why Intel keeps kicking AMD's ass as far as CPU's are concerned.

Core i7's can do 4.0 Ghz at under 1.4v, seen a few already.

Anyone ever used the small, portable AC units yet for system cooling? They cool not only the ambient air around the system but but also the room the system and you are in. They can be as cheap as well under $400 new.

kinda like making your own phase system? Should do for a nice weekend project

 

[servermonkey]

hey cp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
u'll never believe what i got!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, but the AC unit is quicker and also would cool me!!! But winter is here so maybe next summer.

I don't believe in water cooling and maybe phase cooling liquid to vapor (gee, what if it hit its triple point!??!) and back again, have to read up on it. i briefly espied some talk of liquid metal being used as a sealed unit coolant, but I think that was only for the CPU.

Portable AC is easier and spreads its effects upon mine self for added benefit, but in this case not cheaper perhaps, so I break the (C)cardinal ElCheapo (he lives in Rome BTW) code in this case.

Servermonkey what did you get ?

Well, I just did a few things to my machine.

Got it up to 2.343GHz gaming stable (that is a decimal point btw)
213x11 (426 MHz Double Pump) 1.7Vcore Bear in Mind this is a CPU that Runs at 1.867GHz with 1.45 (45W) VCore= Difference of 467 MHz
34449 Timing 2.8V 1T Command (little more over stock which is 32338)
Chipset 1.7V (Stock is Auto which i guess is 1.5 or 1.6)

CPU Idle Temp was 28 C, Chipset 32 C, Gaming 31 C and 36 C

It proves to show that Ideal Cooling for Air Cooling is to have the Air Outside Cool so it passes it along to the CPU and other Components, otherwise it doesn't matter how much volume you can push because if the air is warm then your clocks will be lower, if the air is cool your clocks will be higher. The same can be said for Water Cooling systems, best to have the radiator and tank Cooled by Cool air, and some Air Flow for rest of system components. I would say the Best Cooling setup would be the Mini AC Compressor with a Coolant that doesn't Produce Condensation and some Desiccant system that keeps the AC Air Dry.
