What I'm curious about is 100% stability. How many people reporting these 3.7+ screenies are actually STABLE, 100%? So far, my 920's max is 3.5GHz 100% stable. The reason, my current cooling solution sucks. Once I get the rest of my water setup I'm hoping to do 3.7-3.8, 100% stable. Not just screenshots. When I say 100% stable, i mean OCCT, Prime95, 3DMark and gaming. Not just one app. If we polled this up I'm sure the majority of people with 100% stability are clocked at 3.5-3.7GHz max on air. I can boot up and take screenshots at 3.78Ghz with my crappy air cooling setup. But its craps out once the CPU is taxed.



mines 100 percent stable at 3.7 and 3.8ghz (but I don't like the voltage) for 3.8

hey cd i need your help buddy.

i got my 4 gig kit and i cant' seem to keep my oc stable at 3.8 anymore. it's g.skill ddr2 1066.

if i just raise the multi to 19 the computer isn't stable anymore, it just gives me irq/ blue screens. is there a reason for this.... if i put my 2 gig kit back in the oc is fine

i'm using 2x2gig sticks not 4x1gb... i've tried every voltage i can, and i can't keep it stable....

Nice, especially on that voltage. I think if i had the ability to adjust my NB multi I could get similar results. Having a K9A2 motherboard, I can't :(. I need my water setup!

you tried raising the NB and HT volts yet i had to push my HT to 1.36v to get stable@3.8 and 2x2GB mine of course was @1266 not 1066....

sweet going to hopefully have them underwater shortly after getting the 2nd one in

I finally got all 8GB running at DDR2-1066 stable. Good timings at 5-5-5-18. Now I need a better cooler that will fit my motherboard without blocking my RAM. Any suggestions? I have both the OCZ Vendetta 1 & 2 and the #2 blocks 1 of my DIMMs unless there is a way I can mount the heatsink just like you would an Intel CPU.

not really a 9800gx2 is alot faster than a 260 gtx 192 and his set up is faster or equal to that so he should beat me. My cpu is faster but he should break 20 k no problem. That should make up the difference , no matter I was just messing around.:D

Noctua U12p can be mounted in any direction on Am2 motherboards.
