What's your refersh set to? I knocked a full ns off my L3 latency going from 110 to 90.

Are you getting errors in memtest or are you just failing tests to be able to go further? If memtest what tests (3 and 4)?

The way I test for stability is via OCCT. On my board if i get past 2mins of Small fft, I can run it for hours. So I limited myself up to 15 minutes, then I run 2 passes of LinX max ram to test ram/cpu nb.

Nice clock Ken :toast:, you just need to get the CH4 to really get some nice bios options to clock that baby higher ;)

Thanks but I think what I have now is what I'm gonna have for awhile. My fiancee and I just bought I house so now she has taken over my paychecks.

That is the Crosshair III buddy. I really think once Asus releases a bios that straightens out the Turbo multi off issue(if off the CPU ratio multi is stuck @ x4) that may help me OC more.

Hello, all! All of my PC build have been Intel based but I'm now seriously considering going with AMD, especially with their AM3 socket. I can't afford to buy new and I was wondering if this board GA-MA770T-UD3P--currently available in my local used market--is good enough for Athlon II/Phenom II procs? I plan to use this for 1-2 years at least and I OC a lot. Thoughts?

Well soon i will be in search for a phenom II CPU. was thinking about a 720BE x3, X2 550BE, X4 940BE or hell i might just go all out and get a 6 core but this is my HTPC that is AMD

I have a 550BE I'd be willing to sell you. I dont have a board to unlock the 2 disabled cores on it. Hell, I'd sell it as a combo deal: 550BE and XFX 4850 1Gb

Well, I will have to tell you tomorrow. My new CPU cooler is coming in and TheLaughingMan is going to put my CPU in his second PC with ACC to see if it can indeed unlock to a quad-core.

If so, I will have to make the decision whether to get a new mobo or to get a new cpu.

make sure you test it for stability and not just OC, many chips that unlock cant do it stable.

sure thing!! Thanks for the tip. What is the max stable Overclocking clock ratio for the 550BE? I havent been able to find it.

That's tough question to answer, every chip is different. For example my own 720BE needs 1.4v for 3.5Ghz whereas Fritoking's does 3.7Ghz on stock(1.32v).

Also, just reverted back to my old 24.7 overclock. Seems like this is the max I can get:


Have tried it without CnQ enabled it doesn't make a difference. Went from keeping the multi low and clocking fsb/raising just multi nothing seems to give. Still open to suggestions.

LaughingMan said suck a fat one. We got it to unlock to quad but we are working getting it to boot to windows. He says if he is broke, you can have it. His current CPU he want to replace it with is a AMD 64 5000+
