Phenom 9950 overclocking

[servermonkey]

dude, I didn't like it. I had issues when raising the FSB, it was not stable. Even raising the FSB from 200 to 201 It wouldn't post. Also I could not set the RAM specs to manual or it would not post either. It sucked, I am on the 0403 BIOS now.

wierd....im on the 0504 bios...works for me....
hmmm

it worked horrible for me dude. so back to 0403 which has treated me the best so far.

I will share you this:

Try to run superpi with and without Fusion for Gaming Beta...

I get about 0,5 sec faster time with Fusion on (my own custom profile, only few microsoft thingies are enabled)

I've been thinking that those world's fastest times on Phenom are probably ran without Fusion...

so i was curious about what that gaming fusion crap was. I installed it. All it does it turn off and on services that u kinda dont need. THE BAD PART is that when u turn it off, it turns on services that might not not have been running prior. I have 38 services running usually. Now i have 48. This program FAILS!!!

@cp
peep these out
mem settings

yeah, saw those. Also you can name the profiles you save and stuff. THe bios was pretty cool, but just really bugged for me.

my CPU current clock, so far Windows Stable, just gotta test Gaming Stable, Remember this is a CPU that is originally at 1867MHz

Hey guys,
I've spent a while reading through the thread and it's been really helpful for getting my X4 9950 clocked, thanks.

This is what I've been able to clock to (on air):

something very interesting
Hey mark you mind posting a pic of it in here for everybody else???

Damn Im slow, sorry here is a pict CP

World at war patch is like 300 mb.Boy the beta sure payed off....Well have vista 64 running stock volts at 3.1 gig on proc...just waiting for windows update and the CodWAW patch to download.having problems try to repair XP...keeps asking for A drive wich is my usb stick arghhhh

so far so good bro. What are your temps at now?

BTW welcome to TPU

thats a great piece of work bro.

THanks Mark, you are the man

If I was a girl I would be such a hooker

I am figuring how to mount the HDDs right now and maybe will start running the wiring tomorrow. Since you got me hooked on this OC thing I switched out my PS to my Power & Cooling 510 so I have to refigure most of the comp

 

[p_o_s_pc]

CP what are stock voltages for a Phenom? is it something like 1.10v?

woot woot, Mark is going to be back in the game soon!!!

my 9850 (125W) was 1.296v

My 9950 (140W) is 1.324v

thanks bro. I must be thinking of the low end ones or i still have my mind on my 4850e that should be on its way

haha, gotta be that 4850

i think im done with the heavy overclocking for now, as when i was playing a game id notice, not chopiness, but a sudden slow down in graphics rendering then a sudden speed up (that type of lag) and im thinking its heat related, for the chipset was running 40 Degrees C and thats the component you want to keep cool the most on this machine. And to another effect im unsure if it was the graphics card that was bottlenecking or the CPU but i do think it was heat related, unless if i can overcome some of the bottlenecking by increasing the AGP bus up by 1MHz.

so far so good bro. What are your temps at now?

BTW welcome to TPU

Thanks

When idling it sits at ~42°c, when gaming its ~50°c, but when fully priming it hits 59°c ,
so I definitely need better cooling if I want to push it further.

I think I need to fiddle with the voltages, to see if it'll run stable with a bit less juice, hopefully that'll bring the temps down a touch.

do you have the 125w version or the 140w version of the 9950???
