Phenom 9950 overclocking

[fullinfusion]

bro I dont know, I dont have any to compare it to. Wait a minute. My amd rig is running brb

K, koo; bro..... and CD sent me some pix of Everest with the 955 and ddr3 dimm's..... its giving me a should i or shouldn't i about doing to ddr3 mobo and 955 cpu

bro something is up with my amd rig, it just dont perform as well as it should. the results were horrible, I dont even wanna post them.

Oh shit! Have you seen this?

"Submitted by stunned_guy first quad core test @ 1.488"

If that's true... less than 1.5Vcore... nevermind a golden... must be a crystal chip

Im starting to smell a 3.5GHz chip in here

I Hope he can pull it off , I was about 20 or 30 MHZ's away from 3.5GHZ with that chip .

Morning fella's. I played with it a little this weekend went for a different approach. I was going for 500mhz 1:2 with my ram. I had it at 250mhz with a 12x multi. I had it running superPI in 25sec's. What do you guys recommend I set my HT link and the Multi for it? I'm not used to playing with those setting soo if anyone is familar with my BIOS. "Gigabtye F6". I think I can get it to 3.5 too!!! You guys are great and thank you for all your help thus far

I wish I was familiar with the BIOS bro, but never tweaked with a gigabyte bro.

Hey guys i'm back in the 9950 club for a little while Also got me some Tracker's (D9GKX's) to pair up with this chip.
Hopefully this one clocks as good as Meizumans.

 

[Chicken Patty]

congrats 3dsage, did you mean you got tracers??

 

[crtecha]

So I got it to

3.25ghz
13x multi
250mhz fsb

I had my ram running at 1ghz 1:2
and shaved a second of my PI scores.

I cant seem to get any higher than 3.3. I had my core voltage as high as 1.48 then I had a couple issues where I couldn't boot. I had to use xpress recovery in my BIOS to get it to boot all the way.

I've been looking through this guide to kinda of guide me.

So if any of your guys with gigabyte boards and a 9950 wanna help a brotha out with some tips on getting a little higher clock I would greatly appreciate it.


Also any suggestion on hardware upgrading would be helpful two.

Nice oc

i would recommend a phenom 2 IE: 940 or the 955 they show big improvement

 

[crtecha]

Thanks assassin48. I'm looking into the P2 once I upgrade my board. I have three to choose from what do you guys think.

MSI 790FX-GD70
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130223
ASUS M4A78-E

Its close i say
msi vs asus
with the msi you have to get DDR3
the asus is DDR2

theres also a DDR3 asus board i was looking at
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131363

if you want DDR3 go with MSI GD70

Asus is good. I just flashed my bios to 803 on my M3A79-T Deluxe (the M4A79-T's little DDR2 brother) and got my oc from 3.0 to 3.1Ghz and my memory is now running 1071Mhz @ 5-5-5-15-2T without a hitch!


I'll agree with assassin though, with Asus the AM3 chips are backwards compatible mening you can put the AM3 chips in an Asus AM2+ DDR2 board. But if you want Asus and DDR3 I'd go M4A79-T Deluxe.


Or the MSI GD70 if you plan on running 4 vid cards!! (sexy board)

 

[crtecha]

Noted. I actually meant to link m4a79-t deluxe. I think that is what I will be getting in the near future. I cant wait I almost have my rig complete. Well for now

 

[Chicken Patty]

good job crt its hard to get a 9950 higher than what you did. Note for 3.3 Ghz i needed 1.525v, but i was water cooled

 

[3dsage]

congrats 3dsage, did you mean you got tracers??

Lol, yeah Tracers

@Crtecha Do you have ACC enabled? If not set it to +2 per core. Also what CP said is about right with that chip also it needs at least 1.525V to get over 3.3GHZ.

It has it in it, I used to bench at 3.4GHZ with it.

since I have the Phenom II, I keep forgetting about ACC when helping others out. good thinking

You cant forget your Phenom roots
I forget also, but when I couldnt get past 3.1ghz yesterday.
I was like oh yea ACC, then BAM! 3.3GHZ like Nada

now comes the hard part, getting it to 3.5GHZ:shadedshu

yeah bro i just saw the screenie at the first page. I did 3.4 GHz at 1.424v. Oh memories, im in love again lol.


Then i remembered my 9850 3.6 GHz at 1.424v, then I am now deeply in love

Yeah you had a SWEET 9850, did you kill it in the end

 

[Chicken Patty]

Yeah you had a SWEET 9850, did you kill it in the end

booting into windows at 3.8 ghz 1.6v, died, probably got too hot. it booted in and gave errors and crashed, it even started to crash at default settings. I put in my old athlon, and the errors went away. Then I bought the 9950 that I just sold.

Soldier lost in combat is always honorable, he went down for a great cause

You sold the 9950 for a great price man

Im gonna hook someone up with a great price for this 9950 as well.

I agree, I still have my 9850

as far as the 9950, yeah man great price it was. It lasted up for sale like 15 minutes

i linked the guy to this thread, hopefully he'll post his results here

Okay, nuff!! It was definitely a cherry CP!!

Yeah, that great cause was so I don't try pushing past 3.4Ghz!!
