lol

I think it will be worse for this & probably next month; but someday sooner or later i'll earn what i deserve out of it: cash.

Trust me, i'm working on it (getting to point where i'll earn something). :toast:

Hey guies, I just got mine to 3.4GHZ C:

EDIT: Wait, nvm, prime failed after 3 hours

Nothing wrong with that. Got any pix?

Once I get some new thermal paste I will, It's kinda messed up from shipping but I did the best I could to fix the fins. It's pree much the 9500 but black with a green fan.

So, when I have BE, I just have to set bigger multiplier? I've read some tuts and there's only this for BE editions. And something with CPU-NB frequency

You are correct but give it a mixture of multiplier and bclk overclocking it would give some good results.

i need a better PSU.
i cant get past 3.4GHz BOOOOOOOO

That and a new cooler.

i recently upgraded from a stock cooler to a xiggie black knight,in my tertiary rig and even with my x2 260, i was able to scrap out 3.72, opposed to the max of 3.6 before... temps are MUCH different now

Yup, a cooler AMD is a much more stable and happier AMD. Could get the same clocks with a lower vcore as well compared to a hotter heatsink.

Corduroy_Jr · Aug 16, 2011

just got some Arctic mx4 thermal paste today, has anyone use this stuff? if so whats your feedback on it

fullinfusion · Aug 16, 2011

Yeah im using it atm. You just need to aply more then lets say AS5.
It spreads well and I just give a big blob it the center and push the water block onto the cpu and check how its spreading... It dont cake as the others do.

YautjaLord · Aug 16, 2011

Sorry for OT:

The sig pic you see (called - guess what - SIGPIC in my Pictures folder

), is of my effort: how much do you think i could get for jobs like this if i would decorate/design websites like the way i made this sig for example? Building my webdesigning portfolio, anything to keep overally good impression when applying for such job.

Besides metal fests round the globe, my PC components cash depends on it even if slightly; mobo, RAM & PSU waiting to be purchased when i get 1st monthly fee from such webdesigning job, if i get such job soon enough. You got some webdesigning job for guy like me to fill up my website building portfolio?

Thanx regardless.

2fullinfusion:

Yeah, they are much cooler than with stock HSF; VenomousX + AS5 = my 965BE feels cold enough & doesn't give any mem dumps/BSODs/etc... for - what - almost half a year? Yeah. Custom CPU cooling is a f***load better then stock.

Anyone know if a 955 running at 3.6-4.0 will bottleneck two 480's in 1080p?
I'm waiting on purchasing because I'm hoping more Bulldozer info will pop up. :eek:

I've been running two GTX 480's since February with no issues; with the exception of GTA IV, most games do fine with my cpu at 3.4Ghz. Just the other day I did some testing with Crysis 2 and FEAR 3 and I got the same FPS with both the cpu at 3.0Ghz and at 4.0Ghz; I always play at 1920x1200, highest settings with the maximum antialising possible while keeping the frame rate at around 60 fps.

johnnyfiive · Aug 18, 2011

Thanks a bunch for the info claylomax. I just wanted to reassure that'd I'd be all set using a 955 until Bulldozer shows up. I figured I would, but I wanted to hear some feedback from a AMD user with a SLI setup.

It's not core speed that is the issue. NB frequency is key. 3.6Ghz is doable but kick the NB frequency up a notch and it will help a TON!

Mine is at 2600mhz with 1.25v; it won't do more than that no matter the voltage. Which benchmarks can I run to test the NB at 2000, 2400 and 2600mhz?

Everest cache/latency. Maxxmem. Also that's good enough for NB frequency anything above that is bonus

I'll give you a tip if you're going to run two GTX 480's; use MSI Afterburner and undervolt your cards all you can. I run mine at stock clocks with 0.925v and they're quieter, cooler and power consumption goes down by around 35w on each card.

eidairaman1 · Aug 20, 2011

I do that to my GPU in my Dell Inspiron XPS Gen 1 (Inspiron 9100) MR 9800 (R420) using Tray Tools to get more battery life out of it. I need to take this laptop n clean it thoroughly of dust Fo Sho.

johnnyfiive · Aug 24, 2011

Hopefully I'll have some updates on my build this weekend. I've never been THIS patient before...

Got my ram coming, just doing a pre bulldozer upgrade.

2JrRacinFan:

What AM3+ mobo you buy?

C5F or TUF SaberTooth 990FX? Good to hear i'm not alone in this Dozer preparation stuff.

Already built (albeit for experience & not actual cash) 4 websites to start earning something: 1 for myself, 1 for graphical/designing abuse & 2 for 2 customers; soon gonna do the same for cash, probably in the beginning of September. :toast:

JrRacinFan · Aug 24, 2011

I am going the inexpensive route, m5a97 evo with only needing a single gpu. Limiting myself so i dont get tempted for SLI or crossfire

Don't need it, don't care for it. Barely game. Overclocking on the board IN MY SPECULATION should only be touch under both sabretooth and CH5

YautjaLord · Aug 24, 2011

Good luck.

I going midterm: not yet full-blown 3-way SLI/CFX, yet not single GPU either; til Kepler comes out, i still wanna use my 2xGTX 460s w/FX-8150 & 8GB RAM. Still, wanna see how my current 965BE runs on Sabertooth 990FX with the OC i have. If i'll be able to run it above 4.0GHz (4.06GHz?) stable i'll be 0.06GHz happier. lol :toast:
