well this is acc on 2+ all cores. vcore says 1.47v but i think its set at 1.425 on the bios nb and sb are on auto and so is the volt. only thing i have changed so far is the multi/acc/vcore. Im going to up the vcore to see if it will get into windows on 3.5ghz i havent been able to boot it into windows at 3.5ghz. what are your temps?

yeah i'll have to download that real quick. i cant go further than 3.5ghz so far. I overvolted the cpu to try and get it to boot windows at 3.6ghz but no luck. I think acc was messing up windows because i had it at +8. I was playing some games at 3.5ghz and did some superpi runs I think with some more tweaking and better cooling it would be stable.

the problem some people are having is that they are scared to apply some voltage, I used to be the same way. once i lost the fear i was able to run 3.3+ even 3.55 on my 9850 so come on ladies!!!!

I'm not afraid to apply CPU volts but I hate overvolting my mobo and graphics.. I will get a bios shot later. I gotta figure out why supcom keeps crashing first..

i scored a little less then HALF a core i7 extreme on the cpu score i got
4199 and the i7 is 8914

heres my new score of........16581!!! Personal best:rockout::rockout::rockout:

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=9445391


Quick Question if a cpu needs 1.45volts but you give it 1.47 will it still work or does it have to be on the dot voltage right now i am trying 3.3 @ 1.55v

it doesn't have to be right on the dot. It can me + almost anything but can only be - vary little.

say i need 1.35v for my 5kBe to run 3ghz so i set it for 1.37v it runs just fine only alittle hotter then it would at 1.35v. Say i set it for 1.34v it still runs fine but if i set it any lower its unstable.

Have you try a 32 bit OS yet ? Vista 64 bit is the hardest OS to over clock a Phenom with. Changing to a 32 bit OS you should be able to hit 3.4 maybe as high as 3.5

well i finally got that key thing but ill make the run tonight at 3.5ghz hopefully. I'm going to play with the fsb tonight and see if i can get it to run over 3.5ghz stable. My goal was 3.6ghz for this thing but that is looking difficult. Does anyone have experience overclocking hd4850's btw? I was going to do everything with the radeon bios editor but i dont want to flash my vbios everytime i want to chang my overclock. Is there a way to change the bios limit and go past 700mhz with a program within windows?

yeah there is but you'll cook your card with it... take it to the max with CCC and use your high cpu clock to push the gpu... if you can run 3.5-3.6 youll be hammering BIG time scores in the benchies :rolleyes:
