whats safe?

Master}{ · Mar 25, 2009

1.55 is safe, any higher GOOD cooling is recommended

Enmity · Mar 25, 2009

1.55 for the vcore is safe, what about the nb?...or is that safe to 1.55 also?

ShadowFold · Mar 25, 2009

I've run my Kuma at 1.575 for 8 hours OCCT and it never hit anything higher than 42c, not sure if the voltage is safe but the temps are. My 24/7 clock is 3333mhz 1.525v, never see anything higher than 32c.

Master}{ · Mar 25, 2009

thats what i meant, i keep my cpu and NB vcore the same!

be it 1.45v for 3500mhz or 1.60v for 4000mhz

I don't see why it would need any more than 1.4v's unless you are using 4x1gb sticks of RAM.

i never even needed that much i pushed 4x1GB of D9GMH on 1.4v NB no issues

in other news my crosshair II is back but contest on XS means a 9750 95w is going in it

Master}{ · Mar 25, 2009

i run 4x2gb Corsair XMS2 6400

maybe its just M3N-HT boards, but it seems to be easier to keep stable when the CPU-NB and CPU Vcore are the same!

That's good to know since I want to try my Axe Ram out in my 790gx.

theres a link to another thread im in, post #4 has a couple of pics of my bios..the voltages available are pretty whack...anyone know which ones i should play with?

Things have changed a little since then, ive now got a S1284 Xigmatek cooler and running x19 multi with 1.47Vcore. The chipset is at 1.35V...is that the same as CPU-NB or just the chipset on the motherboard?...Sorry im a little lost here lol..any guidance is much appreciated thanks

Yea its safe i pushed 1.6 to see if i could stable 4ghz and nope
temps were around 50-52 but i am on water

Hmm i dont think ive heard many OCing the Foxconn boards, More like a Feature rich board, ala MSI. If you want to overclock TBH with you, try dropping the HTT bus, Up the voltage of the NB and SB if possible and also loosen the timings. Otherwise good luck and worst comes to worst, DFI, Asus, Gigabyte have perfectly capable OC boards.

Foxconn makes some great OCing boards. Pretty new to the "dark side", but they are players now. Right now they have a kindergarten class for a bios department on the A79A-S and it's a shame. I actually had it ordered from the egg until I found out they decided they were gonna rename multipliers in the latest bios. I had great luck with the Destroyer(friends board).

I agree...but im running 3.88ghz @ 1.425v and nb @ 1.225v using 4x1gb tracers running 2.24v...

i need some real help here

Phenom II 940
ASRock AOD790GX
Gskill DDR2 800 5-5-5-15 4 x 2gb (8gigs total)
4870X2

im dead stable at stalk but cant seem to get a happy overclock as in it always fails hardlocks bsod etc etc im wondering its my voltages

id like some ideas on where my voltages should be for my ram cpu nb and ht to get it stable im looking for some guidelines as my machine is extremely touchy

OCCT results in crashes even at stock orthos runs with no errors same with memtest 3dmark and crysis and other games at max run smooth but i want the most for what i paid for?

johnnyfiive · Mar 25, 2009

I'm having to use 1.47v @ 3.5GHz for 100% stability with my 920, 700MHz OC. Same as full, using 4x1GB sticks of DDR800 @ 1000, 5-5-5-15 2T, 2.0v.

Are you overclocking using the multiplier option within the BIOS, bus speed (HT) within the BIOS or AMD OverDrive? You should be able to get 3-400MHz OC on the default voltage of 1.35v. With a 940 you only need to adjust the multiplier to adjust the clock. We'll need to know what overclocking method your using to give you some advice (I recommend the BIOS). Default voltage for the VCore is 1.35v. Default voltage for the NB is 1.17v (mine is at least). Default for your RAM depends on your RAM. Check out your specs on your memory box to be exact. GSkill is normally 1.8-2.0v.

fullinfusion · Mar 25, 2009

yeah just leave the volts on auto and ramp up the multi till it becomes unstable than back it down .5 or one full click.... after that bump the cpu volts to around 1.40v and start raising the fsb to clock higher.... id try 5mhz at a time.... just leave memory and other settings on auto... thats a good way to start.
Good luck :toast:

So tell me are these AMD Mobos that use AMD chipsets or are they NV?

crazyeyesreaper · Mar 25, 2009

bios overclocking AMD overdrive immediatly results in a HARDLOCK of the system and it hangs before it finishes loading

Ive been using multiplier but anything over stock settings seems to make the machine unstable cause games to lock etc??

ram is 1.8-1.9 volts recommended granted there 8gigs total should i bump the vdimm up to 2.0v ??

Well the Destroyer is an nvidia chipset. To be honest I've been less than impressed with AMD chipsets currently. Kind of wish I'd grabbed an nvidia based board now...

ShadowFold · Mar 25, 2009

So wait, can running 1.52v on my kuma kill it over time? It only gets up to 30c...

The A79A-S is a 790fx board and the Destroyer is an nVidia 780a. :toast:

yes it will slowly deteriorate the chip, Deneb on the other hand has a better mix of silicon to reduce the tiny jumps of electricity to the cores (discharge)
but also in time, it will kill even the best chips

780A = Nforce

750A = nforce

790GX = AMD

790FX = AMD

I would only grab the chips i mentioned above, lower end ones arent as fun! :toast:

the destroyer has some issues in the BIOS from what i heard the crosshair II/M3N-HT are better
