A New year and new problems... any body got an idea on how to fix my AOD?!?

[img=http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/4131/wtfkl1.th.jpg]

First thought when I sawe those figures in AOD was OMFG Santa's replaced my CPU with a Mk II When I was sleeping,but no..
Just Vista being Vista i think :(
(just upgraded from 32bit to 64)

Happy New Year to you all!! :toast:

i find any thing past the ver 2.1.2 of AOD is at the least flaky!!!!..
just pushing the green circle at the top right hand corner (from red to green) causes the system to crash!!!! in 2.1.2 you don't have any such problems.... the only reason i recommend ver 2.1.2 is cus it came as one of the programs on the Asus M3A79-T mobo Disk and any other AOD I've tested i found to have it's flaws!!!! just take my word on the 2.1.2 ver and you'll be happy as a fly on Sh^t mate!!!:toast:

My newest cold air attempts. Should have gone higher with CPU-Z.

wPrime 10,73s

I could say that I'm a wprime specialist...

CPU-Z 3607MHz
http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=477067

It was below -20C outside, just sticked the rig with front panel facing in to the ventilation hatch. CPU went below zero few times. One of the best OC sessions I had in a long time.

I really don't know what happened but now I'm unable to boot to windows anymore. :( Although Ubuntu is working... The XP boot screen showed up but then suddenly I got a black screen but on the same time windows startup melody played normally and HDD led was flashing too. Well then I removed HD4850 and tried with IGP. Same thing happened. After that it just hard booted after XP boot screen. Tried to go safe mode, hard boot, tried running chkdsk /r from windows XP CD but no effect. It did find some errors but it seems thats the case every time. Then removed the Audigy SE but no good. Onboard audio was disabled also. But now I got sounds back in ubuntu with onboard card. It's a long time since audio stopped working in ubuntu. I was scared if the IMC has crapped itself. Maybe and hopefully thats not the case. I ran my RAM @2.4V for some time. Maybe 2-4 hours. :banghead:

I'm getting a new HDD (500GB) tomorrow because the 320GB starts to fill up... Maybe then I'll test the beta version of the leaked w seven... Well, maybe now is the time for fresh XP install... again. :mad:

try backing the volts and clocks down,then try F8 last good option and see if it loads.

Anyone hitting 3.0GHz+ on a 790FX board? Or is 3.0+ only attainable on ACC capable mobo's?

ACC doesn't affect enthusiasts. Its an auto clock thing, completely useless to us. I'm sure the SB750 has more goodies that help OC better but ACC isn't it. I got my 9750 to 2.8ghz but I can't get past 235 FSB with out raising NB volts and I don't want to do that..

Ahh I see. Reason I ask is purely because of price. The 9950 is so cheap now. $169 shipped. Phenom II 940 is going to cost about $100 more. Not sure if spending the extra $100 is going to be worth it. I'm sure a lot of 9750/9850/9950 will be up for grabs once people get their Deneb's. Might be able to get a REALLY nice deal on a very overclockable 9950. Coming from a 9600BE anything B3+ stepping is going to be worlds better.

I disagree. ACC does not auto clock anything. I have seen someone to tell that it just overvolts the core more but I haven't seen that to happen either. At least not in my setup. ACC definately gives more OC potential. Not much but a few hundred MHz's. And maybe more when going for just maximum cpu-z screen.

The first thing I did was removing ANY OC an dropping everything on auto/default. Even dropped RAM from 1066 to 800 and from 2.2V to 1.8V

But well, I decided to try older BIOS'es and that may be the reason. I have had problems with Bios F2a and F2 when OC has failed e.g. hard boot when benching. And now I am on F2. I'll try to get the F3h to my usb stick and update it.

Merrk can you help me out

i think i got a stable 3.4 but i had to make the first 2 cores 17x and the second ones 16.5 would it be at 3.4 or 16.5x200

OMG 3.4 CPU-Z was never able to do it omg
http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=478243

Wasnt able to finish 3dmark06 froze when giving score at the end

trying 3.3@ 1.58v in prime havemt failed yet crossing fingers
temps never go over 40C even at 1.6v
3dmark06 score went down when i ran it at 3.3 maybe unstale going to try messing with ACC

it passed prime95 and the temps never went over 35C but cores 2&3 finished first before Cores 1&4 should i add ACC to it?

i don't think yo u need 1.6V for 3.4 ghz. try bumping NB and SB a little bit and go to spd timings and they should have an option to set your ram timings
