Phenom 9950 overclocking

[fullinfusion]

Oh I now sit emeducated...ty Brad!!

havent tried higher that 3.65 Ghz stable, and validated at 4 GHz

Why no problem man!
CP.... you sound so glum bro?
Hey anyways..... you try
18x multi
207 fsp
1.42 cpu volts
memory 1066 mode?
this gives a respectable 3.728GHz
that was my first and easiest clock to get with this 940.
i booted at 18x stock everything else, with out as much as an hiccup.....
im at the moment cursing you fellow clockers since...... well, i told myself a couple weeks ago..... ok brad be happy with 3.88GHz and play your GOW and Grid game with a total Vista re-install..... (keeping the HDD's corrupted free) Hench no BSOD's..... but NOOOOOOOoooo..... you and blair and CD keep tauntin me!!!!
AHhh... IM DONE!!!! you guys WIN!!!!!

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

i see ppl like putting on a 120MM fan in place of the factory cooler..... IMO i think it wont work as good as the reg fan.... (unless a shroud is fitted)
For one.... doesn't the greatest CFM flow, from the fan's outer blades?
Soooo.... if a 120mm sits a good distance away from the fan...... the CFM flow be weaker through the heat sink's fins.

well for some reason the 120mm on the factory cooler cooled probably better than the Zalman I have on now. So it is effective, better than the regular fan for sure. But you do have a point. If some sort of shroud was fitted it should be indeed a lot better.

air cooles way faster than H2o...... in my room i need to install the V1 cooler and ill be at 12c at the most with the window.... but H2O runns higher but takes WaaaaaaaY longer to heat up

next machine may have a dedicated mini compressor

i have a mini bar fridge...... thinking of crankin it up.... cutting a couple holes in the side and plumbing the rad into it.....

 

[eidairaman1]

no i mean a mini compressor for AC.

how do you use it? or i should say how would you configure it?

Just turn it into a full tower!!!!

Driver irq_not _less or equal...... what the hell is that when i BSOD brothers?

 

[eidairaman1]

Have a Duct Goin in the front and then a duct in the back.

Lets say this, the room is chilly here and overall temps are in the 20, vs upper 30s/40s.

Are you using a PCI NIC?

EDIT: My research says it may also be a ram slot issue.

EDIT^2: More research is pointing towards faulty ram. I'd run a memtest Brad.

Thanks Blair
but what is PCI NIC? never heard of it..... the only thing plugged into the PCI E slot is a 3870x2 GPU and nothing else

Network interface card...nevermind I even said that...you're using the same board as mine...so your not using one...your using the onboard gigabit controller right?

 

[fullinfusion]

CP have you installed Netframwork 3.5 SP1 ?
If so are your CCC skins working?
I set mine to Crimson but alot of the times the skin is broken..... it wont show the red color....

A.K.A Ethernet Adapter??? It's what you plug the telephone looking wire into on the back of your computer!!!

 

[Chicken Patty]

no brad I Have not installed that dude.

Usually when you BSOD and you get a screen that says what yours says Brad, it is ram instability related. When the BSOD says "clock was not received at secondary processor bla bla fucking bla" thats usually CPU related instability.

no problem bro.


Man I need a res and a pump to put the PH II under water. Temps are not too good already at 3.7ghz. need better cooling before I continue to play around with it.
