Phenom 9950 overclocking

[crtecha]

do this
start at default
up the multi till it bsod
then give it 1 fsb and some volts
keep going till you hit the max volts you want to give it

my chip likes higher FSb then multi so iam trying diff ways of ocing this

Thanks a lot. Ill give that a shot this evening to see how far I can get. Should I make any adjustments to my HT or leave it at 2000? Thats what it runs at if its set to auto.

crt, bro for 3.4 ghz I needed alot more volts than that. I wouldn't be scared adding voltage, I ran 1.55v-1.6v without even thinking about it, however temps never exceeded the 40's. With your temps, I think you should stop where you are bro. seriously. You've done a heck of a job already as it is!

Na never had any luck using Fusion.... Believe it or not, but i didn't disable Anti Vir or anything else for my runs...Im just playing around with the PCIe MHz

bro use fusion and setup a manual profile. edit it so that you dont use any amd boost or gpu features. just hard drive acceleration only, and then of course disable the rest of the stuff towards the bottom part.

Do i check the boxes to disable or is a checked box whats going to run?

under software config, check everything, the top you have it correct.

Does that HD acceleration make any difference? And what does it do? I used it in the beginning, but when my WD crapped out, I stopped using that. Just in case it did something to my WD.

bro, if you wait until tomorrow. I'll run some benchs with it off and then on. We'll see if it makes a difference or not

Sorry to hijack this thread if i am, but low and behold my Antec 120 Tricool LED (79 CFM) has a motor failure after 3 years operating, Lucky i had a Thermaltake 120 from my big typhoon cooler lying around, but i am now looking for a Good Replacement fan for my CPU

Any Ideas are welcome

I have one suggestion here but i need some more suggestions, and dont say just build a new machine, when i already have that planned for later this year

that sounds like an amazing system
why not watercool ?
Highend desirves to be watercooled!

I actually went with the MSI GD70 and phenom 955
4 pcie slots Black/Blue Layout

 

[eidairaman1]

Dude after pricing, i wouldnt want to put watercooling on it immediately due to the fact of leaks, even when it is setup properly, talk about catastrophe and a sudden loss of additional money to replace fried equipement.

thats how i was when i first started building my first pc last year

but if you do it carfully and leak test it and use proper liqud its easy

 

[eidairaman1]

Well i was thinking of another approach, I noticed that with Ambient Air Temps, My current system temps are way low (Chipset is still pretty high tho) 26 C for the CPU and 30 C for the chipset (no fan or good heatsink for the chipset), Only reason for that is my Room is Cold.

I was thinking of a Mini AC setup with 2 Ducts attached to the system (Input/Output during summer i don't have to worry about the PC going up in flames when main AC is off)

About the Motherboard, it does have the better connectivity Options ive seen, I heard its a Decent overclocker aswell with only Gigabyte ahead by a Few MHz, I will never have more than 2 Video cards in my machine so that means the other PCI E slots will be used for Raid/NetworkAdditional Expansion Cards.

 

[Assassin48]

same here i only use a 1 gpu solution card IE 4870x2
but the main focus is overclocking the heck out of it
plus it looks soooo coool better then my current Foxconn A79A-S

thus the water cooling solution


Most reviews are giving the board high ratings then other boards

 

[eidairaman1]

Probably the Main Reason, It throws everything but the kitchen sink at you, and 2 the Color Scheme of it means serious business, TBH it looks more like a Abit **Pro-E/XE board than any MSI board ive seen before, not even the Diamond/Platinum are that serious looking. Lanparty DK seems to be what the Infinity boards are now, (Yet to see a LP UT/LT 790FX DDR3 part)

Asus I will never Touch due to negative instance with them (PITA to configure get working with a Videocard even after the video card was RMAd once, moved to MSI/ DFI and worked like a Charm out of the box)

i hear you
i have had 2 4870x2 before this one
the first was a visiontek from bestbuy.com it was DOA so i returned it and got the Diamond XOC and that one gave me artifacts as soon as i put it in so i rma that one to newegg and got this one back i think i got a reqular version of the card in an XOC box i have sent countless emails to them and still no respones just emailed newegg today to see if i can swap it with something of equal value since the stop making the XOC version

NO MORE DIAMOND for me bad customer service
