The AMD Phenom II OC'ers Club

Super XP · Feb 8, 2009

I've seen those too, it really has to do with the bios settings. Disabling and enabling certain stuff in the bios will gain you better OC's but at the same time may limit your CPU's full potential like virtualization and AMD live etc. Also Cool & Quiet needs to be disabled I find for better OC’s.

eidairaman1 · Feb 8, 2009

well obviously, its working outside of its operating parameters, thus messes with CNQ, just like Video cards, powerplay or any power regulation messes with it, gotta use diff apps for it to adjust properly (ATT, Riva, etc)

My motherboard wont let me run up the FSB at all i can get it up to 208-209 and the it will crash or not even boot... so I have to rely on the multiplier. but if I put it above 18.5, it becomes really unstable no matter how much voltage i pump into it.

I'm not sure what your problem is, but it's not a problem with the board itself I believe. I run the exact same motherboard as you do with the 1406 bios (support for PII's AM2+/AM3) and I went so high on my HT Bus speed that I had to quit because I was running into problems where I may not end up with multipliers low enough for everything else.

The highest I achieved before finally quitting (never found the limit) was 372Mhz up from the stock 200Mhz, so the board will definitely allow for very high HT Bus speeds. I took the bus speed all the way up to 350Mhz still using a 10x multiplier (3.5Ghz) before I finally dropped it to 9x to avoid trying too high a cpu speed w/o enough voltage. I set the cpu voltage to 1.472v which I figured would be good enough up to around 3.6-3.7Ghz so I wouldn't have to change anything except for the Bus speed.

Btw, my max clock was a shade over 3.8Ghz on my processor though for extreme speed I use 3.5Ghz @ 1.456v as my max clock but I'm still working on getting the voltage tuning so maybe I can go lower but it passed 8hrs torture test as well as immediate 2-3 hour use without a reset of normal use and games.

Kei

Btw, make sure you have CnQ and C1E both disabled when you're trying. Also try disabling CPU Tweak and Auto Xpress and see if that helps turn them back on after you've got your max clock.

how's this bandwidth look?

1266 6-5-6-16

for comparo

800 4-4-4-12

1066 5-5-5-15

1143 5-5-5-15

eidairaman1 · Feb 8, 2009

thats good but whats the volts your running thru the ram and can you actually drop the timings down where its 5 across the board and then like 15? or is it unstable at that because i say run some games on it like COD 4.

all of those are stable at 2.14v or less

its a 2x2GB kit its not doing CL5@1266 lol tested up to 2.36v

Look at the L1 cache bandwidth, holy mother :eek:

2.1v sounds just about right. I run my ran at 2.2v which OCZ recommends in order for me to get my DDR2-1066 ran running at 800 with 4-4-4-15 timings.

How many of you are using the stock HSF? Cause with my stock HSF I am getting temps of 105-109F @ 3.1Ghz and full load across all 4 cores.

(p.s.)- did you manage to get that shipped out shadow?

I'm using the OCZ Vendetta heatsink and fan. The stock would have cooked my 940 by now. The OCZ seems to be keeping it nice and cool.

i have 4GB of D9GMH if you really want to start a bandwidth war they should do 1266 4-4-4-12@2.8v

Those temps aren't bad at all but I think you freaked some of the guys out using Farenheit instead of Celcius to give us temps.

You're only running about 40-42C or so at full load which is just fine. The stock heatsink believe it or not is actually very good unless of course you're going to try running crazy voltage or speeds through it. I took my processor up to 3.7Ghz using the stock heatsink fan without problems which is pretty amazing.

The processor runs so cool in fact that I'm thinking very hard about buying a mid tower case for the first time ever and either using the stock cooler or buying something smaller than my Xigmatek 1283/Scythe fan combo since I have absolutely no problems with temps.

I have a big problem before upgrading to ccc 9.1 from 8.12 i was hitting 20772 on 3dmark06 now i can barely hit 20296 with my 4870x2 at 800/1000 and my phenom @ 3.84
with my 4870x2 @ stock 750/900 and the phenom @ 3.84 i hit 20315 what is wrong here?

i deleted the 9.1 and reinstalled 8.12 and now i suffer really bad scores

hm, i'll wait till better boards come out, to play with AMD again.

For now i'll mess around with my 9950 once it gets running.

Wow, the CAT 8.12 screwed up my system so bad that I was forced to completely format and instal a fresh copy of Windows. Now its rocking!

I don't care what anyone says these chip will be alot faster with DDr3. I was messing with my 945 and the ram timing was on auto when I set my ram correctly the difference was giant, not a few points but giant unlike the core 2 duo these chip will benefit a lot from ddr3. I haven't ever seen a chip jump im performance from a slight tweak like that and it seemed to speed up my frame rate a bunch as well on my 280 gtx . I wish I had the money I would drop this 945 in a ddr3 board and watch it scream.

So let's hope AMD tweaks the DDR3 mem controller and mobo's successfully. It it's worth an upgrade I may consider, but right now DDR3 memory is way to overpriced.
