Phenom 9950 overclocking

[fullinfusion]

wow glad to see your thread CP is rockin out bro!!!! great results everyone

 

[Chicken Patty]

ok i have a problem my last score of 3dmark was 16118 at 3.080mhz

now my score i s 16016 at 3.178
i ran prime for 15 mins and it showed no errors nor did it crash

what could it be??

bro I dont know. Try running it again, sometimes scores vary.

Also you know what helped me tremendously in 3dmark, better cooling for the card.

When I had my 2900 by setting the fan over stock to 40% fixed, I scored about 800-1000 more points. Maybe your card is running really hott and not being efficient.

Thanks dude, the new RAM really helped out. I will be posting a few results with the 9950 running on two cores, big difference in Super Pi

 

[Chicken Patty]

Here is a comparison with CPU and the same clock, everything identical, but one score is with all 4 cores enabled, and one is with only 2 cores enabled. Notice the difference in vcore also.

Runs in Super Pi

All Four Cores Enabled:


Only Two Cores Enabled:

Here is the same comparison as above in the Generic CPU bench. I didnt take a screen of the two core 3.4 GHz run so to show the difference in crunch time I put a 3.2 GHz run of the two core run. Still crunches quicker, but obviously scores a lot less.

but i want to add to this.... i find running my gpu fan @ 80+ causes a crash with high core and memory clocks.... if i lower it to say 61% it passes.... i think the fan is taking away juice from the card itself... that's what i found with my tests...

cool.... glad there working for ya so now i wanna see 3.6GHZ MATE lol!!!

Wow, thats great dude.

Hey Assasin, check this post out, might be helpful if you ever change the fan profile on your card.

how is the Mark06 benchies now with the tracers CP?
any better?

dude even on two cores, I can only get it to boot at 3.45 GHz. I did 3.5 GHz at 1.45v which is all I can do in AMD Overdrive, but it failed on like iteration 14 of super pi. Then I raised the v core and it won't boot into windows. If AOD would let me go higher vcore in windows I can easily do a run at 3.5 Ghz or maybe 3.6 GHz although i'm sure it'll fail shortly after, but at least I'll get to see what it can do.

I'll be getting to that soon. now that I got the CPU where I want it, i'll focus on the card and 3dmark benches, see how they do.

oh shi^.... me bad.... i forgot ya BLEW UP YOOUR BESTEST BAD AZZ 9850 UP!! sorry hehe... well what are your settings at highest boot?.... pm them to me and ill take a look..

dude please do not remind me that I had a 9850. THat damn thing was freaking goldennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.


3.55 GHz at only 1.456v and still going without hesitating. It was a perfect bond between CPU and overclocker hehe You learn from experiences. I know where i can go with HT voltage now and where I can't. Oh and if only I listened to somebody named Brad who told me once to lower it.

I could only imagine how much better were my benchmarks with the 9850 if I had the tracers back then

LMFAO!!!! i told ya hehehe :shadedshu

ah we learn so much in the world of freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee MHz hey ppl!
oh and ill try not to forget to forget to remind ya lol

hey don't you dare go there. Sad thing is I look under my monitor and there is the poor thing in its little plastic enclosure.

i cleared my bios ( removed the battery for 30mins)
and i will redo everything

BTW cp i have a watercooled setup on my cpu and gpu so the fan speed wont help

 

[H82LUZ73]

try running ganged mode for the memory.

 

[Assassin48]

my memory in cpuz says

it's a crash just waiting if ganging the memory....

 

[fullinfusion]

my memory in cpuz says

Ummm are ya trying to clock?
you need help setting the memory timings?
there way to high

 

[fullinfusion]

my memory in cpuz says

love your components also man...

anja, I forgot about that. Darnit

Yeah, but he is getting familiar with the rig and the bios. I think he posted screenshots here and the bios is confusing. So its hard to help him.

ok i am re doing it again and this is my new scores
All defaults except cpu x
200x13 = 2.6 = 13267
200x14 = 2.8 = 14165
200x14.5 = 2.9 = 14918

thats all stock except the cpu multiplier
i might have to start adding some voltages we will see!!!

 

[Assassin48]

ok while running prime95
workthread #3 said error stoped
and the rest are still going what can i do should i mess with the ACC?
Its disabled
