#'s are wrong as in what sense, the clock speed? Or...?

Amd tricked us.
all this chip is a mutant piece of silicon from the PII line up. Like they said it looks good on paper but still It feals Snappy! faster!

That's good. I was really close to building a BD rig, but got a terrific deal on the 2600K I have now so I opted for that. still have my 1090T though.

Hey David
Ah it's all the same shit bro!

YA know? Same shit different pile?

 

[fullinfusion]

this chip is fast. At stock speeds it's about normal.

But change a few settings in the bios and OMG Shit flies!!!!

Have you gamed with it yet?

just Dirt 3 and bullet storm. Smooth as butter. I just got the thing and just seeing whats what with this thing.

Hey guys, with my 920 ( not a be version)

What voltage settings ( not just cpu voltage) should I be using for around 3.8 ghz?


Also what's safe voltage adjusted for my NB with this board? As I've no idea.

Hey guys, with my 920 ( not a be version)

~1.4v

Also what's safe voltage adjusted for my NB with this board? As I've no idea.

Board or CPU NB?

 

[Chicken Patty]

You should be adjusting the CPU NB voltage. The board NB voltage I've never needed to adjust.

Hey Full good to see you again.

I have a question guys....

when talking max temps for the CPU are we talking the core temps or the overall cpu temp?

These are my current temps with WCG Boinc running at 100% When my room is warm, the cores can reach 45 c and the cpu temp goes to 55 c. Can I push it harder?

I can push the HT Link speed closer to 3000 Mhz but when I do the CPU temp can go over 60 c but the cores are only maxing out to 50c. Is that ok?

 

[Chicken Patty]

I believe overall temp. These CPU's have some bugged temp sensors, So I like to play it safe.

That have to do with the CPU NB, when you raise the HT link speed to 3000Mhz, you also raise the CPU NB so it does get that hot.

Doesn't work with just changing cpu volts.


Looking at making 260x14 work by the by.

You should be adjusting the CPU NB voltage. The board NB voltage I've never needed to adjust.

What do I change them to? lol

Maybe I'm just rubbish, but this 720 is a lot lot harder to overclock than say e5200/q6600/1055t etc

 

[Chicken Patty]

Just go up one notch at a time till stable. Make sure the NB don't get too hot .


On my Phenom II I ran 2600 NB, @ 1.25v

 

[ChaoticAtmosphere]

Okay, here's where we stand right now....I got my CPU/NB v on auto...should I go manual or can I trust asus?

 

[Chicken Patty]

Thing that gets me about auto is how much is it really? I rather set it manually and test it till I'm stable. But that way I know what it's set to.

BTW, nice clock on the RAM.

Thanks Yes it's very good RAM.

I guess I'll go manual for the voltage because I believe on auto it gives too much causing unnecessary heat. After I posted and ran a full screen games my cores went up to 49 c and cpu to 57 c, I paused WCG for a bit because I want to play Trackmania now....I'll work on it a bit more in a couple hours or so.

 

[Chicken Patty]

Keep us posted. But yes, try manual better.

You should be able to go higher with the core frequency.

What specs? Mainly board...

 

[pantherx12]

What specs? Mainly board...

Same as in system specs cept cpu is a phenom 720 ( no unlocked multi)

Motherboard NB volts are 1.1 stock

 

[JrRacinFan]

Shouldn't need to adjust any board voltages at all, keeping them stock. Maybe CPU vdda to about 2.53 and Ht voltage to 1.85

 

[ChaoticAtmosphere]

Keep us posted. But yes, try manual better.

What voltage do you recommend I start at? 1.1v?

Cheers man that let me boot into windows although it wasn;t stable, playing with some other things now.

What would you recommend next?

( I wasn't overclocking HT so didn't bother with the voltage change last time, this time I've gone from 1.2 to 1.3 see if that works)

So far it's prime stable as I'm typing this.

By the way is cpu pll voltage essentially the same as vdda as it was around the same voltage of vdda 2.5 instead of 2.53 as that's what I changed.

If yes I guess those are the only voltages I need to play with?

What about cpu nb?

Anything info you could give me would be greatly appreciated, seems over-clocking older phenoms is trickier than I remember. heh

 

[JrRacinFan]

Try 1.27v and no higher than 1.33v
