To bad there's no review of the 9950 @ 3Ghz compared to the 940 B.E. I think I'll stick with my 9950 cause at 3Ghz my system just rocks now :rockout:

if you are happy, enjoy it for now, plus you can squeeze more out of your system dude, that'll keep you happy and busy with the 9950!

why you have it put away bro?

p_o_s_pc · Jan 11, 2009

because i was testing my Gigabyte board and it overclockes my 4850e just as good if not better then my Biostar... but the real truth is that i have been too lazy to put my Biostar back in :laugh:

i almost bought me a DFI board for my AMD system, but then I made the best choice ever, and I waited for the M3A79-T. :toast:

Those DFI's are good bro, never had one, but I hear nothing but amazing things about them.

Ok when my 940 came on friday i had to go out of town

so it was just sitting on the box all weekend

Woke up at 6am drained the fluid (Computer Fluid!) and started to replace my 9950 be fo a new 940 BE

i put it in started it up and started to run some benches
Stock = 16453

3.2ghz everything stock = 17311

3.3 Everything Stock = 18064

3.4ghz everything stock = 18174
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=9606146
3.5 vcore 1.47 = 18636
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=9606718

i have some really high hopes for this chip and temps havent gone over 30C and isdle is
23-24C so when the thermal compound settles it should go down

Skywalker12345 · Jan 13, 2009

that's amazing temps, for 3.5ghz? you use water tho right?

Nice Vcore you have there. Mine needs some more. You could ramp your HTT ref a bit more to get your RAM to 1100MHz. And maybe try to set NB / HT link to x11 or x12 and CPU NB VID/ Northbridge voltage to somewhere between +0.100V - +0.150V...

What BIOS version do u have? The older (F2) can't increase HT Link speed from bios. Only decrease. New BIOS (F3h) can increase HT Link also. With the older one, I had to use AOD to get HT Link up.

Skywalker12345 · Jan 13, 2009

o i didnt know that, i have f2 but ill flash the f3h and bump some settings AND SEE WHAT I CAN DO

Yea it was a pain removing the water and the mobo tray

Skywalker12345 · Jan 13, 2009

why not try to push farther? i bet you could at least get 3.6

Now they have F3o but he said that the Overclocking is bad with this version. I will try it asap.
