if i aint wrong this 955 can go all the way to 4GHz!

Some of them, not all.... a C3 chip? yes but a c2.... it's a 50-50 chance

True, my 955 hits 4Ghz with 1.5v on Gigabyte board. That's quite a jump from the default 1.4v needed for 3.8Ghz. Though I can't complain because the cpu-nb I've had up to 2.86Ghz with 1.45v even with cas 7 1600mhz dimms. :rockout:

He should be able to get 3.8 GHz stable at 1.4v, most people do, but you know that depends on a ton of things.

Very true. While I can do 3.8Ghz on stock volts on my Gigabyte board, I have the same MSI board he has and it can't hold the voltage stable enough to do the same. Cheaper board and chipset yes (Gigabyte is the 790XT) but even the 890GX MSI I have has the voltages fluctuating all over the place when stressing the cpu though it does a better job at not letting it drop below 1.4v when loaded.

i got a C3 945. i hit 3720MHz at 1.42!
but couldn't keep it as my ram sucks and also i hadn't yet received the copper cooler from AMD!

Have you tried the ram @ 1333mhz ?

mastrdrver · Oct 4, 2010

Yea but I only save .05v by going with the lower divider.

de.das.dude · Oct 4, 2010

i think 1.5V on the NB s attempt to murder.

Just a hunch you might be over stressing the cpu/NB memory controller. Im sure you know 1333mhz is max DDR3 default for AM3 cpu's..

edit...

Des das Dude.. I think he meant the ram volts.

I thought 1.5v is the bare minimum when running DDR3 ram..

mastrdrver · Oct 4, 2010

Possible as I've tried to push it higher but it seems like the voltage requirement just shoots through the roof much after about 2900mhz. Though I've tried using a lower multiplier but it doesn't seem to help. I've even tried leaving timings to be picked up by spd.

Nope I've put and ran for a little with 1.45v on cpu-nb. I know on my Gigabyte board that it under volts what you set for cpu-nb but just slightly.

1Ghz 7-8-7-24 G.Skill Trident.......2x4GB setup :rockout:

Sitting at ~$250 on Newegg right now. Anyone seen a better price?

One slightly disappointing thing with those. They are running at 2T instead of 1T.

Finally got my Phenom II X4 945, so I guess I can join this club now?

dont worry. i gots a 945 too

Magikherbs · Oct 11, 2010

My P II 550 shows on/off toggles for Cores 2-6, in the bios

Its soo powerful, it don't need to unlock its other cores

Chicken Patty · Oct 11, 2010

Gotta love the CH IV. :toast:

YautjaLord · Oct 12, 2010

Got the M4N98TD-EVO. Purchasing DDR3 1333/1600MHz memory shouldn't be a problem, but the new Swiftech's H20-320 Edge series will. Barely though if what Yukikaze says bout SideWinderComputers is true : currently it costs 329$. When going for low latency RAM which one is better (DD3 1600MHz, ofcourse) : Mushkin RedLines or Corsair XMS3 ? PSU is Corsair's HX1000W, CPU is still Phenom II 955BE.

Congrats dude ! Very stable and I know you will luv it

Just watch your temps if you decide to run the ram @1600mhz :rockout:

Send me $300 USD, I'll mail you one, brand new. :laugh:

i'd be real rich if i had even 100$ LOL

YautjaLord · Oct 12, 2010

BTW : Still use M3N-HT Deluxe, got to buy RAMs 1st then & only then i'll be cooking with gas. Still no answers for me which mem is better latency-wise ?

i would get me some Gskill ripjaws, tridents, or the best for AMD: flares

Flares ? Like the ones in AvP3 ? lol BTW : one of the reasons for this semi-upgrade is AvP3. Thanx nevertheless.
