I just recieved my PII 940 and I have an ASUS M3A-32 MVP WIFI DELUXE

sno.lcn · Jan 16, 2009

So I ended up only getting about 4.4ghz on single stage. There may be a little more in it, but not much.

Your pot won't fit AM2?

There is an easy 'fix' to that problem although it will cost you some money. I have the same cooler and had the ram issue that you had. All you need to so is fine low profile ram that will fit just fine under the fins of the mammoth Xigmatek.

I'm currently use Patriot Extreme PC9200 (1150Mhz stock) ram that fits just perfect under those fins so I can use all my slots for ram and the cooler.

how are u getting your sticks to boot?

screenies?

Psychoholic · Jan 16, 2009

well im stuck at 3.45ghz with my 940be and 790FX board.. most likely because im running a 64bit os. Do these have the same problem as the phenom 1's had with 64bit and overclocking?

not as far as I know up your N/B voltage and HTT voltage

Psychoholic · Jan 16, 2009

Will that help even though im only using the multi at the moment?

yes, it does on mine

In system specs.

Now at 3.87Ghz and 1.48 vcore by BIOS

nice

Psychoholic · Jan 16, 2009

oh nb and ht voltage bump helped.. what's an acceptable voltage for 790fx? I have almost no experience with amd, well.. not phenoms anyways.

with good cooling 1.4 to 1.5v

Pi 1M on version 1.5mod 18.79 seconds

Psychoholic · Jan 17, 2009

spoke too soon, wont even boot into windows at 3.6, back to 3.4 everything is great.

ill try 32bit this weekend.. anyone else on 64bit?

My 9850 wouldnt do 3.0ghz in 64bit, but would do 3.3 in 32bit.

Steevo · Jan 17, 2009

I use X64 Vista Ultimate. 3Ghz was as fast as I could run my 9850. I could boot it to 3.4 though.

Currently the best performance speed for me is 17.5 multi and 217FSB for a 3.798Ghz core clock and 578Mhz memory or 1157 DDR more chip voltage doesn't seem to make a bit of difference, and I haven't tried dropping the memory strap yet.

Something else strange about these, each core gives consistently different Super Pi times.

Right now i have 8gb of OCZ Platinum 800mhz ram and was thinking ig better ram would get me some better overclocks?

I was thinking 8gb of some 1066 but i also want to use my ocz ram cooler any suggestions?

I have 8GB of Mushkin 1066 memory and it is pretty fast. I'm not for sure if it will give you better overclocks, but my OC was awesome.

well i foun 5 choices what do you think?

Castiel · Jan 17, 2009

All those will be fine. And on the OCZ your mother board should just downclock to its memory standard.

ShadowFold · Jan 17, 2009

I would go for those Vipers man.. Vantage and a flash drive for free? Sounds like an awesome deal to me!

Just looked at those and it says SLI READY but i have the DRAGON platform :wtf:

now its between
OCZ Reaper

Patriot Extreme
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220314

i am considering those vipers too but the sli badge kind of a turn-off :eek:

Edit* I decided to go with the patriot extreme because the sli vipers only work on certain chipsets and i dont want to gamble on this plus i can still use my ocz ram cooler

MAGMADIVER · Jan 17, 2009

I have mine volted to 1.45 Volts and I might go as high as 1.5, but as soon as I hit 3.8Ghz (on air) it gets buggy and crashes every so often...at 3.755 I dont have problems and am not willing to change over to water cooling just yet. My Zerotherm NV120 has this running around 35C while overclocked and down to 31C at stock....

Steevo · Jan 17, 2009

I am not pushing more than the 3.9Ghz I got from a few tweaks at first, now I am trying stable at lower voltage. So far to remain stable I need to give it 1.48 or better (BIOS Setting) to remain stable at 3.8 but at that same setting I have gotten a couple dxgkrnl.sys errors, and one IRQ not less or equal when I start folding with SMP and on the GPU, possibly the voltage ripple inside the board caused byt the dynamic load change causes vcore fluctuations in this board. So I am back up to 1.5 in the BIOS and it is rock solid, and temps are 46C fully loaded, and I believe that is reading high, as the GPU is running in the loop AFTER the CPU and it only runs high 30's.

I told myself when I ordered that anythign over 3.6 24/7 stable was freakign awsome, and I have 3.8 and have booted now once to 4.2Ghz, but it was unstable and I had to push 1.55 (BIOS again) vcore to get it booted, but windows woudn't load.
