Phenom 9950 overclocking

[trt740]

Glad to hear that, what intel chips have you used?


Why dont you give me a pic of your bios and then I can see what settings you hvae and what they are set to

everything from QX9650 down and this chip loads windows faster than them all and feels just as snappy a mutitasker as any ( it has to be the memory controller). This little motherboard is just as good as my Ramapage, never seen a motherboard that cost 69.00 perform and have options like this. I'm happier than a dog with two dicks. Also this Asus tops 4850 just auto tuned to 790/1190, holy shit, thats a freaking 4870 (well almost, with no modding)

Yeah bro, what many people don't get is that AMD's current chips as as good for the real world as any other chip. I got a friend with a Q6600 clocked at 3.6 GHz, of course his benchmarks are better and what not, but I use his computer and it feels the same as mine. Gaming everything, my Phenom is just there. OVerall I think these Phenoms are great chips bro, they just don't overclock very well. But lets see what what happens with the PHenom II 940 coming out 2nd week of January. AMD promises up to 4 GHz on air, and upwards of that on water

As far as the 4850, you can't beat it for the price. I went a bit further and just bought me a 4870, currently at 810/1100, it is one heck of a card bro. I couldn't be happier with my rig, I just sometimes wish it clocked better, but lets see in '09 if that issue gets fixed

well not all 4850's are made the same the two I had before the cores would not go past 735 bios voltage modded with after market coolers. I think I have a true 4870 gpu here. Patty could you cutt and past that one guide to your first post then add the link I put aswell it would help people searching this thread.

Great idea!!! DONE!

have you tried AMD OVerdrive? Heres a linky. Try it out, see if it works with your chipset.

AMD overdrive won't work on this board say it can not detect R700 chipset darn darn. Take that back work with newer version

so you got it to work right?


Any results worth posting ?

Hello everyone.

Ok I am many pages late with this phenom threah but I thought I wouldpost now that I have the first OC up and running.

Specs are in me sig and the results are below

Let me know what you think please

 

[servermonkey]

does anyone know what this means?
take a look at the psu part the +3.3v
it just started doing this i think
does this mean my psu is dying?

*******
ummm i re-sat all my power connections to the board and it went back to normal..odd

 

[trt740]

hey guys what does it mean when my computer boots it says my ram is in ganged mode?

 

[cdnbum88]

Ok, now what the H*** are you using to get great temps like that? I NEED TO KNOW!

Is that air cooling? What is your ambient temps?

I am looking for something to replace stock cooling and I have spent like 4 days straight searching.

So far what I have come up with is something below:

Either a Thermalright 120 Black and a Scythe S-FLEX SFF21F fan + Rheobus fan controller

OR

Sunbeam Contact Freezer stock, or use the Scythe S-Flex + Rheobus fan controller too.

If not a Scyhthe fan, maybe something with better air flow and static pressure.

Please help me out with this dilemma!

If you can, mucho appriceation!

Give the Xigmatek S1283 a look. Through on a Noctua 120mm fan and it will be cool and quiet.

Just some info for you guys.

ganged mode is 1x128bit dual channel

unganged is 2x64 bit dual channel

In other words unganged is better. I always run my RAM unganged.

nope
thats odd that it dipped like that
ive reboot a bunch of time to see if would come back....

 

[cdnbum88]

Here is my 2nd OC and 1st on WC.

Stock 4870x2 speeds.

Thoughts?

well, looks like it might have been fixed

Hey server you know where I can get a working version of HW monitor?

damn dude, thats awesome. How stable is it at 3.5 Ghz??

I ran PI no issues.

Ran 3dMark06 three times without a hiccup.

have you stress tested it?

What program do you recommend that with? Memtest85, PI, Prime?

prime is the best for that bro, in my opinion.

I recommend Orthos http://sp2004.fre3.com/beta/beta2.htm

orthos is the same as prime right? I used both and its the same thing. Orthos was just good for quadcores since it will test all cores t 100%. But the new Prime does that as well.

But either or work great.

I think prime and orthos both are about the same. I found orthos easier then prime and i like to watch the green go
