Hmm I wonder what is I wanna see how high it goes!

stock voltage

 

[ShadowFold]

Wow 3.4, nice. Now I wanna see how far it goes with some voltage!

i'm going to see how far it goes on stock then crank it up

nice bro. looks like those things overclock as good as the x4's. very good!

crazy thing is that voltage is correct 1.35v for 3.8ghz


here the BIOS is updated

 

[cdawall]

3.8ghz in windows 7

 

[Chicken Patty]

great job so far cda, awesome

 

[cdawall]

4ghz validated

hey cd... figured i'd post an update, i switched out the memory for some ddr2 1066 from corsair and i'm having a similar issue, as i hit 3.8 reguardless of voltage i end up unstable... at 3.75 i'm good but anything higher i'm not....

if i switch back to my 2x1gig kit from patriot i can post at 4.0 no problem and even bench a bit there... seems it's only a 4gb 2x2 gig stick issue.... got any ideas to make it stable??

 

[cdawall]

you have pumped up the NB voltage correct?

 

[exodusprime1337]

yeah man i've tried everything... i've tried without the nb oc'd even underclocked... as soon as i hit 3.8 it's over... i have no idea...

the odd thing is that at 3.75, i can finally oc my nb up to 3.0Ghz no problem... which is wierd

so right now i'm running 209x18 or 3750Mhz~~, with ddr2 1120 5,5,5,15 at 2.4v

i've been priming for 10 minutes or so for and haaving no problems so far..

this is the wierdest issue i've ever had, and i can't put my finger on a setting that will fix it.

 

[cdawall]

no idea we have the same basic mobo and mine runs the ram no issue....maybe the chip doesn't like your ram

very nice clock cd I think this ones good for a quad aswell on air cooling for a 24/7 clock , gonna try 3.9 myself , here

 

[ShadowFold]

Cd what voltages for 3.9 stable?

 

[cdawall]

Cd what voltages for 3.9 stable?

1.5875v in the BIOS not really finessing anything right now just pushing the crap till it works lol



oh and i now have 1st and 2nd place on the front page now

 

[ShadowFold]

Dammit now you are making me want a 720 instead of another 4830 The 720 would last loner since it's DDR3 and I plan on going DDR3 when I get a job..

 

[cdawall]

i have some DDR3 sticks OTW

 

[exodusprime1337]

no idea we have the same basic mobo and mine runs the ram no issue....maybe the chip doesn't like your ram

probably... it doesn't like the g.skill-on the qvl list... and doesn't like the corsair either also recomended for this board... right now i'm at 3.78Ghz ~210x18 and running corsair xms2 @ 1120 5,5,5,12, 2t... it makes no sense but whatever, i guess i'm stuck with it... maybe sometime in the next couple weeks i'll pull the chip and put it in my gigabyte 790gx board and see how it do..

 

[cdawall]

maybe BIOS update?

 

[trt740]

this is a great review on your chip
