OK so that takes care of the Core Parking hotfix what about the Scheduling one shouldn't that be installed I don't remember MS putting out any other patch to solve this other than the Hotfix

I'll [most possibly] have CVF-Z by March 10, have these 2 hotfixes installed, see how it's (8350) reported in Scheduler/Task Manager/etc.. & give you a pics of it. Actually i'll see how this CPU performs with & without hotfixes. And sh*t - need to know how high i can actually OC 8350 under TR's VenomousX/2xUltraKazes/AS5 combo: 4.5GHz? 4.6?

Irony · Feb 28, 2014

Ya, looks like 4.5 is doable. Probly be getting toasty above that. Saw one on another thread in upper 50s at 4.4

Ya Irony is pretty spot on. With air cooling you'd need to be a lucky one in the silicon lottery to get much higher than 4.6

YautjaLord · Feb 28, 2014

4.5GHz than. Will go for 5.0GHz once get my hands on Swiftech's H2O-220 Elite; why the f**k it costs so much? lol

P.S. Nice avatar johan45; i'd like to see who wins when pitted against each other - Berserker/Black Pred or Matriarch (Alien Queen). And i don't buy this sh*t that Royce won!!!! The only worse POS is AvP the movie. :laugh:

Johan45 · Mar 2, 2014

Ya I hear you about Royce, but they had to leave it open for another movie where they escape. I didn't mind AVP and technically the queen didn't die, AFAIK they don't need oxygen. I have been a huge Alien fan right from the beginning, people weren't ready for that and it scared the bejeebus out of them.

I did some playing around with the 9370 today and wanted to share. Too bad D1nky is stuck on the darkside.

@d1nky @Durvelle27
Here's 5869 all 8 cores http://valid.canardpc.com/x6bza3

And here's 5948 on 1 core http://valid.canardpc.com/a4fuy

d1nky · Mar 3, 2014

Yoo Johan my friend. I'm not fully on the darkside, still got an am3 motherboard lol.

Been working flat out lately, but seem to have less money...

I'll be buying another FX one day soon to go under cold, atm I'm collecting toys for it.

Nice clocks btw, what happened to make the jump from around 5.7 etc?

Nothing really, I had benched Spi at 5.8 and realized I hadn't done a validation at those speeds. I wanted to get it in before the cold weather is gone. It's even colder today, I' going to take a stab at 6.0. It's only 2 more bumps on the FSB

Congrats on breaking the big 6.0! :clap:

Johan45 · Mar 3, 2014

Thanks Random it was a real tear jerker crashed 3 times trying to validate but finally I snuck up on it and caught one. Did this on the way Hwbot prime all 8 cores and nearly 5900

Quick question guys, I've experimented with FSB+Multi overclocking (previously just using multipliers) I've got my chip stable @ 4.5 with 1.36v's but whenever I check my ghz in the system information within BIOS and boot logo screen it says I'm only at 4.3Ghz, while the actual FSB and Multi says am at 4.515Ghz.

Upon booting to windows and running some tests for stability it's rockin at 4.5Ghz vdroop is a minimum and volts aren't fluctuating and no thermal throttling as well.

When looking at the windows system properties it also tells me that it's at 4.30ghz whilst hwfino64 and cpu-z says I'm at 4.5Ghz, is this ok? Or there's something wrong with my OC?

EDIT: Strange thing is when I only use multiplier to oc it shows that I'm rated at 4.5Ghz... But the fsb and multi combo oc feels a lot more snappier all around....

Thanks for the enlightenment!

Johan45 · Mar 4, 2014

Don't know Psyko, It could be something to do with the board not registering the change in the reference clock properly for windows to recognize it. As for the bios not all boards will do a live clock update in bios whaen you change settings which will leave you guessing at times.

Hmm so as long as I am stable and not BSoD'ing with whatever task I do am all set? Or is there a way to correct this ?

Thanks!

maybe windows expects an 200MHz FSB so thinks lower multi = lower speed (so it doesn't actually pay attention to the FSB)

I still feel it has something to do with the way your Bios and Windows communicate. You said it didn't update the speed in bios when you when you change the FSB speed. You're already using the most current bios so I would save the profile that you are using and do a good CMOS clear. Power down, unplug your machine. Set the CMOS jumper and pull the battery. Let it sit for a few minutes. Then replace the battery, put the jumper back to normal position and restart. Go to bios and load your profile then see if it corrects itself. If you updated the bios when you got the board you should have done a CMOS clear at first start up. It's good practice and necessary to give it a clean slate. If this doesn't work and you're not experiencing any issues then I would leave it be for now.

Upon further investigation and googling, and the 990fxa club at ocnet, it's ok because windows only reads it via multiplier so for example if my proc was designed to run @ 200 x 20 (it would show as 4.0) and if I do oc via the bclk it will not register it. But as long as I am passing my stress tests and keeping my ram true to it's rated speeds without over clocking I'm good to go (the temps are good too even when it's summer here...)

Btw would I get temp advantage if I replace my xigma dark knight II's single fan to corsair's sp quiet 120mm pwm fans or would it be a waste of money?

Thanks

Johan45 · Mar 7, 2014

Well I wouldn't use the corsairs way overpriced for performance in my opinion. I have some that I got for a radiator and was disappointed really. The one fan on your heatsink turns at what 1500 RPM max?? If you want to improve I would get 2 fans that have a decent CFM/ Static pressure and will hit up to 2500 RPM under extreme load. I say extreme because it WILL be loud. The ones I had on my rad were NZXT's and hit over 100 CFM at 2500 rpm.

Good info on the bclk/multi issue w/Windows! :toast:

A second fan will give you a 2-3C temp drop on the Xig Nighthawk. I would also avoid the Corsairs as Johan45 suggested. I would try to either source a 2nd Xig fan of similar spec or try Scythe/Noctua/Cougar fans in the 1,800rpm range*
*I have 1,500rpm Scythe's on one of mine and could really use the extra 300rpm in the Summer when I'm crunching on the rig :ohwell:

Athlonite · Mar 7, 2014

I'd have to agree about the scythe fans brilliant bang for the buck specially the gentle typhoon series or the silverstome AP120/123 fans which even though are lower in CFM the air is guided in such a way as to make up for it

The Xiggy fan goes max 2200 rpm, I can nab a gentle typhoon around my local area, but I might as well consider getting a NH-D14, would there be a difference on them? If not prolly save up for a closed liquid cooler.

Altho going air the Xiggy handles 4.5ghz single fan max temps on all bechies play around at 57-60c, regular day to day gaming just high 40s and never hits 50c.

Thanks yo!

Thanks guys!

Those temps are fine... I would just leave it at that and enjoy!
