is 2v to much?

it was running @104C lol

i couldnt touch the heatsink it was so hot lol

cdawall, I had done the same thing with the factory cooler on my PHenom II, took the factory gay fan, and put a high flow 120mm on top :laugh:

hey it cooled pretty good.

*sob sob* Rejected...

Welcome to the Rejected club, I hate that S**T.

Nice Clocks BTW, are you feeding your 9950 with some CPUGH :laugh:

DAMN a 9950 clocking with the PIIs :eek:

that is a hell of a clock

Im at the moment flying over sea's just to rob Mez of his mobo lol... jj mate.... its a sweet clock but PII clock for clock smokes azz compared to the PI's

Yeah, that is definitely impressive....I'd try upping my volts past 1.5 but I'm too chicken right now...maybe once I get the money for my PII 940!!

Last night (it was around 1-4 am) I got my system cooler than on the first time. I put a "demolished" cardboard box on top of my rig to control the air flow and avoid the warm air circulation. This time I tried to go as high as 1.7 Vcore but didnt get that 3.9

I was tired too...

@Full, as high as 1.5 Vcore and over, the blacbox showed nothing, it doesn't show anything below 0... So... Don't know about BS, I put a thermometer to measure the incoming air temp, the lowest was -13,3C. After I quit benching, I checked the outside thermometer and the outside temp was lower than -20. The cheap wireless weather station doesn't show anything under -20 :rolleyes:

GBT can't change the CPU VID, so in theory the board could do some over crazy volts.

So 9950 has normal Vcore 1.25V +0.60V = 1.85V
AOD shows 1.25V, setting it to 1.45V = +0.20V = 2.05V
And if AOD registry tweak can be done, then maximum in AOD is 1.50V
2.05V +0.05V = 2.10V

With PhII 940 which has 1.30V... it would be 2.15V

I don't now if its possible but it sure looks like it.

i wasn't even at my BIOS's max yet lol it goes up higher but that poor chip would melt

i got my 9950 to 3.4ghz on 1.48v trying to get it as stable as possible, here is my validation

good job king jay. Tried any higher, or had any luck making it stable at 3.4 GHz?

King_Jay16 · Mar 30, 2009

tried 3.5 but that takes too much voltage, forces me to go up in the 1.53v region and up and that's too much volts fa me on air.

go for it i won the max clock last time but you had higher volts this chip doesn't seem to care so i'm game

stock copper cooler like the one that comes with the X4 940. mine however has a 120mm 130CFM zip tied to it.

is the x4 940 cooler basically the same? i have a few 120 mms lying around along with cable ties

Congrats, thats some serious oc right there!

when I had my board on a custom bench table I had going, I also placed a 120mm where the factory slow fan would go. Temps were pretty good!

fullinfusion · Apr 2, 2009

hey David, whats your best oc on the 940?
and whats your highest 24/7 clock
i hit 4.2GHz but she took a shit during the Validation and cant get it stable since the weekend :mad:

i find this chip don't like volts any higher than 1.47v

Why does CPU-Z insist on lying about our RAM....it even insists my Dominators are PC2-6400!! :confused:

its not lying Blair.... your ram is in fact 6400's.... there just hand picked sticks that run 1066MHz

and they just call them 8500's
