Deneb based AMD Phenom II Cpu's only support upto DDR3 1600 ram to get higher you need to start playing with FSB speeds by upping the FSB and lowering the multi

Thanks I had it running all multiplier, supports tight timings. Was setting up my old machine for a sale and went 1066 with really tight timings ( cant remember off the top of my head) and it ran nice with that setup.

^Absolutely true. I have the HT Ref at 233 MHz, CPU multiplier at 16.5 and NB at 2.8 GHz and get a memory clock of 1866 MHz.
Also I have found that my chip does not even POST above 4.4 GHz. How much voltage do I need to at least have 4.5 GHz and boot into Windows for a CPU-Z screen? I have tried maximum 1.6V.

I just checked that first Cinebench I posted the Voltage was 1.6v at 4440 Mhz, I have to add that I booted into windows at 4.2 and used AI Suite to go up from there. I see you're using an Asus board itsakjt so AI Suite should work for you. I don't use this software often since it can be kind of buggy but it'll work great just for a validation. You can raise the volts and the multi with it. I was above 1,7v for that validation that I posted.

Yeah I have AI Suite(disabled the start up services) and tried with that also(TurboV). System freezes or is highly unstable at anything above 4.4 GHz. Its weird because otherwise, my chip is a good overclocker. I tried on 3 different motherboards. I had an Asus M4A88TD-M EVO/USB3 and tried there. Same results i.e. max 4.4 GHz. Tried with an Asus M4A785TD-V EVO and same 4.4 GHz max. And now with my present board too. I can do 4.3 at 1.6V. Is it because my cooling is insufficient? Or something else? I have the modded stock cooler but it should not be a problem for just posting just a CPU-Z screen! Or am I missing something? @Johan45

Temps would have been my first guess, running a modded stock cooler probably isn't going to get you any higher. I'm on an unconventional external loop with a 700 GPH pump and a Phobya 1260 supernova. I use this to cool 2 high power systems at the same time.

Vario · Feb 13, 2014

IIRC, I couldn't get above 4.2 to boot, despite the 4.1ghz speed max temperature being about 55*C and the voltage being 1.4v. Maybe it was my mobo's 4+1 power phase design. Is that typical with Deneb non-980's?

My ram got flaky at 4.1, it was strange. Only showing 8 gb of my 16gb, etc.

These PIIs tend to get a bit wonky right around the 55c mark so it's not surprising. On air I had a hard time with 4.0 but my chip needs 1.5v and would crash in P95 everytime with water it run no problem.

Thanks for the info.

What cooler do I need? Will a good air cooler be enough for at least a CPU-Z validation?

That I couldn't say it depends on how hot you're getting. A Hyper 212 wasn't enough to run 4.0 for me but all you want is a validation?? I've heard good things about the Dark rock pro, never tried one but.....

Gotta check.

Yeah I would be happy to run 4.0 GHz 24/7 and 4.2 max. Above that, I think it would be impractical to run this CPU 24/7 @ 4.2 GHz+ for the reliability and power efficiency. :oops:

Johan45 · Feb 13, 2014

And just plain wear and tear, alot depends on the V_Core needed and heat.

Athlonite · Feb 17, 2014

Well looks like I'll be leaving the club guys I just bought me an AMD FX 8320 to slap in my Crosshair V Formula :clap:

hopefully it will be by weeks end so I can have a good play over the weekend

You can always toss the 956 back in for a stroll down memory lane.

Athlonite · Feb 18, 2014

Yes I could always put it back in the old Crosshair IV formula

well it's goodbye to the 965 and hello to the 8320 so far so good

and reusing it in the CHIV will have to wait till I can afford some more ram

YautjaLord · Apr 10, 2014

Here's the new (1.69) CPU-Z validation of my still old & still trusty 965BE working in Crosshair V Formula-Z - this THING does bump up some few MHz to 4.0GHz:

I promised - i delivered: before i switch to FX-8350 i told i'll post the 965BE's OC on this particular board, so here it is. Three, THREE consecutive years of this frequency without [almost] any hiccup!!!! This is the respect you give to such awesome CPU! See ya all @ FX OC'ers Club, tomorrow i'll go for assembling & OC'ing this beast to 4.4/4.5GHz along with RAM. Thanx all for this F***in'A Phenom II OC'ing ride. Cheers, keep headbangin'. :rockout:

de.das.dude · Apr 10, 2014

you need to set it from the bios to use the xmp profile.

itsakjt · Apr 19, 2014

Did 4324 MHz on my Phenom II X4 955 Deneb. Its will turn 3 years old this June and still has its max OC potential. Kudos to AMD and me for the love to my computer.

Here's the validation.

Nice itsakjt, those 955s were always good clockers.

On air or water itsakjt and (never mind what Volts/temps were you getting) forgot to click the validation

On air and not only that, with the stock cooler.

Recently got a Corsair GS 700. So now out of money. My next target is a new chassis and cooler.

Picked up an AMD PII X6 1090T and gave it a run yesterday, nice chip it was running 4.4 stable with 1.5v then it just skyrocketed after that here's the max I squeezed lat night. http://valid.canardpc.com/t7wk7v

I bet it will give a fx 8350 a ass whoopin. :toast:

Johan45 · May 6, 2014

Ya it does but only at some things. Give them a run at HWBot prime and the FX puts it to shame but cinebench my FX-6350 can' even touch it.

ThE_MaD_ShOt · May 9, 2014

After the wcg challenge I am going to do some seriuos benching. I have a couple chips I want to see where they top off at.

I have a 955BE in the mail headed this way, should be here soon. These old Phenom IIs are just fun to push. It would be a lot more fun if it were still -20c outside but it's not.
