Prime95 doesn't mean stable. I've Primed for 24+ hours before, but crashed in encodes or games on stock gfx clocks.

i also rendered 3GB of CAD drawings on it with a CPU based compiler in autodesk.

$20 a stick and i'll take em

20 a stick? US dollars lol, besides these sticks are french to me... they clock (time) weird.

do you know a secret about these that I should know?

I went to the gskill forum's and didnt get any help there... all i see is real loose timings...

Hell I did a fresh os install yesterday and @ 1600MHz timings on auto I couldnt finish the vista install... I needed to pop the ocz plats in to finish the job. :wtf:

Since we are on the subject (even though I posted this in another thread), my hot-ish 965 is finally happy.

I no longer crash at 4.2ghz under load. Quite a feat for this bastard CPU!

why is your rig upside down E? also love the look of the water cooling...

and you being from America I wouldn't think you knew about Trailer park boys lol... They often travel and do shows for canada and they even stop in my town

Trying to figure out the differences between these two boards

ASRock 880G EXTREME3 AM3 AMD 880G HDMI SATA 6Gb/s ...
ASRock 890GX Extreme3 AM3 AMD 890GX HDMI SATA 6Gb/...

ones 880G and ones 890GX, but the actual spec differences seem tiny

Both boards run 16/0/4 or 8/8/4 (which is fine by me), both have USB 3.0. both have (basically the same) onboard GPU, same outputs on rear of mobo...

After long fighting with the X2 240 I changed the cpu to my X4 810 and voila I can now run the ram at DDR3 1626 with stock timings (9-9-9-24).

So there is something to do with memory controllers, board and cpu combination.

Missed the deal with cda by few minutes, you beat me to it. Glad I missed it. Now I am at 1626. Need more time to tune more.

HD 4250 vs HD 4290. That's about it on the specs. Might be Bios differences tho.

for ~$30 extra, i think the 880G might as well be the one i get.

the GX might be better at OCing if you are into that.

Yeah, if it's just for a basic build, spend the $30 elsewhere. Maybe better cooling?

its for my main system actually... its just that with a BE CPU, i dont need FSB overclocks. that really cuts down the requirements on the mobo (USB 3.0 and at least 1 e-sata are my requirements, and this board meets that)

You may not need a lot of bus clocking, but you still need access to voltages. Cheaper boards tend to have less voltage options.

good link for feature set i guess

if it supports an x6, it has to support 1.45v (stock voltage for thuban turbo mode).

Ofc, you have to deal with Vdroop on the cheaper boards - and thus the dilemma. do i save money and get it a month or two sooner, or do i wait, crippled as i am with only two usable SATA ports?

My first ever overclock, not much done but still

hey you gotta start somewhere and if you think about it that clock is pretty high for a CPU rated at 2.8GHz?

@ mastrdrver

You may want to try unlocking that chip!!! It has a Deneb core, would unlock to x4 925 equivalent.

Trust me, I know all about it. That's why I bought it with a board I didn't need off Ebay. It does about as well as any C2 chip. Hit about 3600 core and the volts go through the roof. Though, the cpu-nb seems to be decent. Only needed 1.3v for 2500 with the ram at 667 cl7. Better than my 550 BE that unlocks.

johnnyfiive · Jun 15, 2010

JUST got started

1.32vcore in bios, CPU-Z and AMD OD both display 1.3v, not sure which is correct. Either or, passed 5 runs of Intel Burn Test at 4.0.

3DMark 06 - 5850 at default clocks

Wow, I love AMD again, big time.

I got the 1090t to 4.0, stable, within 15 minutes. *clap, clap, clap*.

Velvet Wafer · Jun 15, 2010

woah, a photoshopped CPU-Z! What r u trying to hide, Johnny?

a little tip on linx! do 20 runs at maximum or nearly maximum memory, it shows you instabilities faster this way... your 6 core wont work much on 1024mb to share between all cores! ;-)

Chicken Patty · Jun 15, 2010

You gotta love the look of that damn board/block :respect:

Great run on the 3dmark as well :toast:

True, it was late and I had to get to bed. I will do some hardcore stability testing later tonight, I love this setup. :rockout:
