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. But i 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

Thanks! You're going Sabretooth?! Should write up a personal mini-review.

YautjaLord · Aug 24, 2011

Me? Mini-review? Or you? Only in this thread & still it gonna take quite alot of effort; i don't think i'm good in doing a mini-review, let alone review. Thanx for suggestion, nevertheless. Once bought i might think of posting some benchies here.

Works for me, enough of a "mini-review". :toast:

Been really really contemplating building a wcing loop. Your thoughts?

Oh also here's where ive been keeping the 555 @ past week or so. Just one notch above stock volts unlock and overclocked by 600mhz

Funny thing is, it won't do 4Ghz :confused:

Wonder why, who knows probably the board but will tell once I get the new one.

It hit 74 Fahrenheit in mine this week while it is 100 degree's. Air conditioning

Of
course a $200 a month Electric bill to go along with it :cry:

Up the vCore a notch, mine set to 1.45v in BIOS, reads 1.424/1.408v in CPU-Z; wcing? I'm on VenomousX & til something better comes out of ThermalRight i stay with it. WC'ing stuff still cost a f***load anywhere & in Israel it makes you broke if you not baron Rothschild's relative. Good luck again with whatever you plan.

200$ electric monthly bill? F**k, i feel like i'm richer then you. Welcome to club (no pun

) - someday this s**t will change, but i'm affraid it will take alot of brutalizing politians heads on wall kind of effort. :roll:

jk Something less but still similar have to happen; unless you abuse your home electrical resources way too much. I hear you, don't worry; mine is not much better.

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

I ended up going with a SB build (Check my system specs for what I got coming).
I really wanted to go with AMD for Bulldozer, but with no inkling of an idea of what it will do, I just wasn't willing to take the risk. I took the risk when the original Phenom FIRST launched and thought I had a winner with the 9600BE, but then I got it and realized how crappy it was in comparison to the Q6600 that I should have bought. :eek:

I didn't want that same feeling if I waited for Bulldozer.

JrRacinFan · Aug 25, 2011

Well. No way would have been able to afford Sandy Bridge as an upgrade path unfortunately.

Phenom is based upon K8 Architecture, they claim it to be 10. Bulldozer is a Brand new arch from ground up.

Woomack · Aug 26, 2011

Is anyone here using Gigabyte 990FX UD5/UD7 and successfully unlocked Phenom 2 X2 to 3-4 cores ? Can't find anyone who was able to make it on these boards. I'm able to unlock cores and run simple tests but when cpu is loaded a bit more then all freeze ( no errors etc just freeze). Like when I run F@H then it hangs up instantly.
I have no problems with oc. It's running 100% stable at about 4.1GHz and power saving features enabled ( screenshot with idle state and a bit above 4.1GHz load ).

LifeOnMars · Aug 26, 2011

@Woomack - On my board the latest bios actually disables the core unlocking hence I'm not using the latest one. However mine is an older board and I'm not really sure on yours, sorry bud.

JrRacinFan · Aug 26, 2011

@Woomack

Without being able to set ACC values it may not unlock on the board. My own personal chip unlocks stable when ACC is set to the following cores like so: Core 0: 0%, 1: 0%, 2: 6%, 3: 10%.

I was checking all bioses starting from F4 that was on my board next some betas F5 b, c ( not many versions are available ) and I found some topics that others have the same problems with their 990FX UD5/7 but on older boards were able to unlock the same cpus.

I have only option to unlock cpu and pick 0, 1, 2, 3 core. When I set 0, 1 or 0+1 then it's ok. Any other combination gives me freeze under load , no matter if its 0+2 , 1+2 etc

Yeah, you're going to need to wait it out for an updated bios.

Or I faster change to Bulldozer

... well depends how fast it will be, hard to believe in most leaks ...

Very very true. I'm thinking it won't stomp out intel's current offering but will provide a big difference over deneb. That's just my own speculation though.

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

you said that about your last board. a hair under my clocks was quite a bit if memory serves correctly.

roots are still all the way back with K7. performance will be up a bit from deneb thanks to a higher IPC and new instructions. clocking however is going to be heavily limited thanks to integration. this is the same plague we saw with intel recently bus clocking might be out the window for the most part. not nearly as bad as it is with intel however.

i want to see your daily clocks in the 4+ range this round. and im just popping in and out. figured the thread needed some old school guidance. i do have some AMD stuff i am playing with again.

eidairaman1 · Aug 28, 2011

Thus far, Im impressed by my bros setup that I created a build sheet for, supports Bulldozer and 32 Gigs of Ram too.

Bros Specs:

Antec 650W Eco PSU (SLI and Crossfire Compatible)
ASRock 970 Extreme 4 (Latest Bios and Drivers)
AMD Ph2 x2 BE 555 Unlocked to x4 B55 (955 BE basically) (Not Overclocking it cuz of stock cooler)
8 Gigs GSkill Ripjaws Blue Ram 888 24 Timing 1.5 V
Sapphire Radeon HD 6770 (Latest Drivers)
2 Samsung DVD Drives
1 500 Gig Seagate HD
Win 7 HP 64 Bit (Hey Supports 16GB Max but can upgrade it to Pro if need be)

Just waiting on this case from Directron.com (Fuggin bastards had to back order it yet said it was on sale at DT Should be here by Wednesday or Thursday)

wow, spraying deodorant into the fins of the stock cooler helps me stabilize 3.5GHz lulz

That's going to make a nasty mess to clean up. Compressed air would work better or some other propellant that doesn't leave residue. The deodarant works for moisture, not for temperature.

de.das.dude · Aug 28, 2011

nono, see it has evaporating organic liquids that reduce the temps. and no mess. infact every thing gets cleaned due to the alcohols.
