Phenom 9950 overclocking

fullinfusion · Feb 13, 2009

wow this is going great so far, just leaving the cpu voltage stock and using the multi...

fullinfusion · Feb 13, 2009

x18 and ran mark06 no problem...

fullinfusion · Feb 13, 2009

i need some advice, the PII toped out at x18 multi on stock volts.... should i bump the volts a few clicks and shoot for x19 or leave the multi alone now and start to raise the volts and add FSB now?
this is where im at now...

^^^I thinks you are in the wrong thread!!!

ChaoticAtmosphere · Feb 13, 2009

IMO so freakin' jealous

Here you go Full,Full 703 is a great bios I have never had this run this stable before.

DFI is a great board ChickenPatty don`t over tighten them waterblock nuts .

PS
Welcome back to AMD

And under load during the test for stable the temp was a steady 54c......

haha thanks bro, this is on air for now

. factory cooler. And thanks for the warm welcome

looks like someone isn't afraid to run higher volts hey CP hehe.....
you got a hog like mine from the looks of it..... i rang the local shop and they tracked down my PII 940.... its on a truck here in town and ill be getting it real soon, im just waiting for a call to pick it up
is it ok CP if i stay in your thread and post my results?
its more homey here.

naw bro, i ran 1.63v before, but it was my only rig, now i Have my i7 , so burn baby burn!! :laugh:

I'll keep you guys posted.

FUll I wouldn't mind if you stay here bro, your a great person!! Plus the more results the better.

Chicken Patty · Feb 13, 2009

hey full, bump up the vcore a bit bro, keep using the multi, better to find stability. Then crank the FSB and the RAM :rockout:

H82LUZ73 · Feb 13, 2009

Hey Full that with 0703 bios ?

fullinfusion · Feb 13, 2009

Yeah it was but im going to try 403bios...

my core temp and AOD temp or any other monitoring program just shows 0c... does anyone know whats wrong?
the bios is the only means of showing the cpu temps.

fullinfusion · Feb 14, 2009

Flash went bad and what a nightmare.... but finally its working... the temps work again after resetting the cmos

Chicken Patty · Feb 14, 2009

so far my best super pi

I wonder how much the on board video is hurting my CPU's performance?

Meizuman · Feb 14, 2009

My best SuperPi is 22.078s but I dont have a valid screenshot 'cos my rig hard booted on me! Btw, does setting affinity from task manager count as cheating or is the result valid that way? I have read that any soft "modding" is prohibited... :confused:

Found that my cores 1 and 2 will run 3.3 at 1.4V but 3/4 will max at 3.2... core 4 will not probably go over 3.2 stable with any "air-able" voltage. With a bit more I think it may be possible to run 1 and 2 at 3.4... but would need a bit more volts.

Now I use AOD to set different multis to cores at bootup.

i dont encourage you to do it, but then again who will know

my best super pi run was with my 9850 22.2, but with my old shitty as ram at 800 Mhz, with my tracers i would have done 21's, it was at 3.55 Ghz

Meizuman · Feb 14, 2009

I think its better to get two cores higher that all fours a bit lower. Many games will use only 1 or two cores so higher clocks on those two will come to use... then I'll set affinity to those two cores :rolleyes:

try that and see how it works.

OMG, just realized, I should update my cooling specs... because my case has now 11 fans total!

1x 140mm top exhaust
1x 120mm front intake,
1x 120mm front intake,
1x 120mm side intake,
1x 120mm rear exhaust,
1x 120mm CPU,
1x 120mm PSU,
1x 80mm rear exhaust for VGA,
1x 70mm VGA (Phenom heatpipe heatsink),
1x 45-50mm (haven't measure it) for PWM
1x 40mm for NB

This all in Antec Three Hundred

temps are becoming an issue, cant go any higher, on stock cooler, I will be ordering the pump and reservoir which is what im missing to complete the loop for my water cooling

damn that is a hell of a good clock on ANY cooling let alone stock :toast:

fullinfusion · Feb 14, 2009

well im 100% stable at this setting....not bad for only playing with the 940 for 3hrs hey....im not using acc,it doesn't like being turned on.... i wonder why? any one have any ideas? the voltages are alot tamer than im used to running lol...
tomorrow im shooting for a 3.9GHz stable setting.... being valentines day im hanging with the wife and wont be clocking today....
CP you notice the sb volt 1.26v? thats on auto....

That's with stock cooling?? Wow! Is that stable or just a max?

Hey dude I did a few back to back runs with my onboard then with my GFX card. And I consistently was .5 slower in WPrime runs with onboard.

Before my ASUS board died back then my phenom was my daily rig, the only rig at the moment. I did 3.3 GHz @ 1.542v stable. Now I could careless about stability as that is my benching rig its not even in a case, so I dont care if stable, and I dont even know to be honest. Probably not.

WOW< thanks bro. Im sure it hurts performance, but for now I cant get a 2nd card, I want to get at least a 4850 or something next pay check. Thanks for the info :toast:
