Phenom 9950 overclocking

[eidairaman1]

readem there is a link below my name, ambient temps are not good right now

 

[Chicken Patty]

ill post some pics of my water cooled lian li xbox soon at uncles house

that'll be awesome dude!!

 

[Chicken Patty]

ah night bro.... ttu tomorrow or on the weekend..... just about got this G15 key board set up... ya know fps and temps! sweet board man!!!! you gotta get one

i'll look into it man. THanks. Talk to ya soon.

Hmmm I just squirted my cpu with thermal compound and the temps have stayed the same.
Here's how I applied paste.

dude usually one dot in the middle does it. What I do is put a dot in the middle. Put on the waterblock in my case tighten it down and loosen it back up. I check and the cores are all covered in thermal paste, and its evenly spread, of course the edges dont get much, but thats how I have it now and my temps are excellent. But another method that works great is spreading it out before hand, making a nice thing layer of thermal paste :Toast:


but if your temps are the same, then dont worry, you didn't do anything wrong

whats thermal paste?


j/k

heheheh, you use that stuff? Dude, you're not cool. To be cool you can't use thermal paste hahaha

this one time in band camp i used a stick of bubble gum.....

what the hell is that?
dude you want cooler temps or chance having the thermal paste drip out onto some part of your mobo and cause a short?

clean that sh^t off with alcohol... and put a BB size amount in the middle and one.... you can clamp the cooler on and hope for the best or 2 you can use a credit card and smear it all around..... mind ya the key is to have the grease as thin as possible.... to much warrants higher temps.... id also recommend IMO get a tube of Artic silver 5..... its heaps better than that silicon based white crap...

SM ya ready to play?

 

[Assassin48]

SM ya ready to play?

what we playing?

 

[servermonkey]

SM ya ready to play?

you finally got one?
yippie!!!!!
ill toss in my pc8500s !!!!

@cp its PLAY TIME

wheres kei?

Well hello all! I've been checking this thread about a week or two now and I decided to participate the party

9950 BE on a Gigabyte MA790GP-DS4H

Now running stable @ 3.3GHz,

CPU x16.5
CPU Vcore 1,392/1,408V idle/load (+0.150V @ BIOS)
NB x10
HT ref freq. 200
HT freq. Auto
ACC auto

I cant up the Notrhbridge speed, if I do, I will go unstable. Any advice on voltages? NB voltage and CPU NB VID are found from BIOS.
I havent got it more stable with these upped to max +0.100V. Any use of Southbridge voltage increase? +0.1 / +0.2 / +0.3V are found from BIOS.

Also cannot go to 1066 DRAM. It might work for a while and in some games but for instance,
I launched AOD stability test, ran that for some minutes with no problems (normally stops within a minute) then I opened Opera browser and got a hard boot. I have to stick to 800.

Cold boot problems too. I have read that this is ACC related issue.

hi and welcome

+ for your mem....have u tried setting the mem speed to auto, it should come up as 400. then clock up to 533?

 

[H82LUZ73]

DDR ViD = volts are you running them at 2.0-2.2 for some 1066 mem sticks(some 800 will do it)

just a link for you to read,Look at the volts some hyper X memory will need for volts @ 1066

http://www.kingston.com/hyperx/products/khx_ddr2.asp

 

[H82LUZ73]

I think TMP1 is Northbridge, TMP2 is certainly GPU (exactly same all the time), perhaps TMP3 is Southbridge? Tho TMP3 certainly goes down when my CPU temp goes down due to me setting the multi at 6x

Hmm I wonder if I sould lap my cpu?

i can confirm that Tmp3 is in fact the southbridge,I took out my 4870 card and the temp went down,Boy those things gt hot.The southbridge is like that when 2 4870`s in crossfire because it is that in the heat crossfire.....

Welcome aboard buddy.

If you mind taking a few shots of your bios that will be great bro. helps tremendously.

I don't know how it is on your board, but on the ASUS boards, the NB has a multiplier that you can higher or lower to get an achieved NB clock. Maybe you have the same and you need to mess with it.

As far as RAM, make sure in the BIOS you set the DDR voltage as was explained in a previous post to what the SPD says. Also set the RAM to 1066 in the BIOS.

As far as cold boost issues, my board has ACC and I can boot up fine at any time. Something else has to be conflicting with that. Have you tried taking out your soundcard (if any) when trying to do a cold boot. Try one thing at a time until you figure out what it is.

The memory is KHX8500D2K2/2GN (Kit of two 1GB sticks).

Here's some pictures of bios, taken from a bit-tech review

ACC

MB intelligent tweaker

Maximum voltages

Memory settings

Review found here

I have tried with EPP mode = auto, EPP voltage = By EPP.

Also tried manually set the timings to 5-5-5-15 and voltages to 2.2 (and 2.25, showed @ 2.23 in Bios PC Healt Status) just to make sure they get enough volts. Then I tried DQS, bank swizzle and tri-stating, all on and off but no luck. Other values were default. So I can't run my system even with default clocks when memory is @ 1066, Prime95 will give error within a minute or few more (drops some core(s) to 0%)

Also there is the 1GB kit (KHX8500D2K2/1GN) in Gigabytes Memory Support List so it's kinda hard to think that the 2GB wouldn't work...

I first came to think it could have something to do with that Nvidia SLI-ready certification but the 1GB kit in the memory list is also SLI-ready certified.

@servermonkey If I set it to auto, It will set as 1066 and EPP. (Though someone said that AMD does not fully support the EPP, still I think this isn't any problem at least if they're set manually according to manufacturers specs)

@Chicken Patty This mobo has the NB multi below NB Frequency (Memory Controller Freq. in the photos, could be they have renamed it in F2a bios).) I think I read about it being ACC related from this forum, the guy had also DS4H (his avatar is from a white car with hood popped up)

One thing also:
In BIOS, the HT Link Frequency has settings from 200MHz to 2.6GHz with 200MHz increments, but its actually the multiplier based on 200MHz HT ref. freq. Though it cannot be upped, only decreased. For example, if I up the HT ref. freq. to 220, and put it to 1.0GHz (x5), HT Link will be 1100MHz. If I have the HT ref. freq. @ 200 and NB x11 = 2200MHz, and try to set HT Link to 2.2GHz, there is no difference. Only way to up the HT Link freq is from AOD.

You still have the memory ganged? try un-ganged mode.

 

[Chicken Patty]

Meizuman, at 3.3 Ghz what is your NB speed. you can find that in the memory tab of CPUZ. Top right hand corner. Tell us what the speed is.

 

[p_o_s_pc]

heheheh, you use that stuff? Dude, you're not cool. To be cool you can't use thermal paste hahaha

I didn't use Thermal paste with my 5kBE with my lapped HDT 1283 as you can see temps were just fine

BTW the pic of the BIOS was used for another reason i just used it here to show temps

 

[Chicken Patty]

^^^thats crazy, Did you really not use thermal paste man?

 

[p_o_s_pc]

^^^thats crazy, Did you really not use thermal paste man?

yeah i really didn't use any thermal paste. I didn't use any because i forgot my tube of MX2 at a friends house when i was helping him build his new computer and i couldn't find my AS5. I used MX-2 on it later and got the same temp at idle and about 1c lower on load.

thats pretty crazy though bro. Haha,
