TOP 3
LOOK

Just did a Vantage and got P14709

Skywalker12345 · Jan 16, 2009

yea true that i have it at 15X200, ill try like 14X230 = 3.220GHZ maybe?

Assassin48 · Jan 16, 2009

well i bsod when i tried 3.92 even at 1.6vcore

Skywalker12345 · Jan 16, 2009

why doesn't it seem stable? Has it crashed?

Skywalker12345 · Jan 16, 2009

wtf???? did you get it sorted out while I was gone?

kenkickr · Jan 16, 2009

I've been leaving my system @ 3Ghz cause honestly I'm happy with it. This morning I installed my OCZ Vendetta 2 back in cause I sold all of my Phenom HSF's and was checkin temps out. Holy shit it must be really cold in my apartment...

kenkickr · Jan 16, 2009

Here is another screen shot but @ 3.2Ghz w/ suppose to be 1.3625v but CPU-Z is reporting more. Also Win Media Player is running(wanted to listen to some good old Pearl Jam before work)

nice run, your voltage seems about right for the clock. super pi run looks good too! Tried going higher?

Been there, done that :rolleyes:

I have to say that I have found my systems boundaries... before that I had many problems when my OC wasn't stable and BSOD'd or just hard-booted. XP and Avast took some crap in the process, I had to run chkdsk /r from XP cd many times. And I know what you mean about "really slow and laggy". For instance, CPU-Z didn't load, add/remove applications list loaded something like over 10 minutes and so on... I had that too several times. The thing that helped, was that after you bsod or hard-boot, you should turn EVERYTHING from M.I.T to default. Volts, multis, ACC... you name it.

I think the Northbridge is the main thing here, if it doesn't get enough juice and you're driving it sky high, it can cause weird behaviour.

I had Win7 64 bit installed and at some point it just freezed, after that the taskbar showed with gray color and I couldn't acces anything in Win7. I had to reinstall it. I have a dual boot now. XP pro 32-bit and Win7 64 bit.

One thing that is worth consideration is that you may have bad sectors on your HDD. I don't know how long my HDD was broken, but it could have had some effect too. And those weren't just bad sectors. One DOS-based WD diagnose tool reported some reading head failure after just 8 seconds of testing. Though now I have new one. Hopefully this will last longer. I might not use Fusion's HDD acceleration anymore either. If I just knew what caused it to die...

Got new best semi stable OC of 3113 :rockout:

Seems to be running fairly sweet at the moment. (stress tested with Everest Ult for 45 mins)
Runs really quick now :laugh:

too soon to see if it'll be a 24/7 setup though.

Going to move on to testing with 3D06 and vantage - will post the result if it makes it through!
Wasn't expecting to get stable results at this speed with a 9850. Does make me want to upgrade to the new MK2 BE though - will start praying every night for the prices to come down more..

nice clock, im sure that chip can go further bro. need some tweaking

Frenchie · Jan 18, 2009

More than likely but I think I'll have to move from air to do it :
( got 4-5 deg overhead on the core when stress testing so It's getting close to the limit of it's capacity (and my bottle) to go much further!

Still really happy to get 600+ Mhz Oc on a 9850!

You got any ideas where ~I could mebbe tighten things up a bit to lower the temps so I can push for 3.2?
( I so know I'm gonna end up frying this chip..) :twitch:

what are your temps right now?

Frenchie · Jan 18, 2009

33 C idling in windows and up to a core temp of 55 Deg after 15-30 mins stress testing with Everest

i say stop there, try to raise the FSB a couple of more Mhz, see if you can sqeeze a bit more out of it with the same voltage, but I think thats about it on air.

Frenchie · Jan 18, 2009

Thats what I was thinking as well - Just trying to think who has a goldfish tank I could raid...

Gettiong some random error when I tried 3DM06 kept crashing after the CPU test had finished - Something to do with a graphics .dll file not being found

But finall7 got a successful run and scored my all time top score :eek:

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=9688362

Going to install vantage now and see if i can survive a run through that

when you get that error it could be due to instability. Is your video card overclocked?
