Phenom 9950 overclocking

I think prime and orthos both are about the same. I found orthos easier then prime and i like to watch the green go :p

hahaha, the new prime has four working threads, its cool, you have four greens haha:laugh:
 
Some "research" done again... My settings are now somewhat like this:

-HT ref. clock. 206
-CPU x15.5 (x16 under testing)
-NB x12 (2480MHz @ AOD)
-HT x12 (2480MHz @ AOD)
-NB voltage 1.4V (+0.100)
-NB CPU VID +0.150V
-CPU +0.150 (1.392V idle / 1.408V load)
-SB +0.3V
-RAM x5.33 = 1102MHz @ 5-6-6-6-15-31 2T
-ACC +10% all cores

I tried Catalyst 8.11, but I need to test it more.

This 8.11 reports that I have 1GB in my gfx card. GPU-Z reports it correctly @ 512MB. Maybe it is the reason why I'm getting weird slowdowns on few games. While I had absolutely no problem with 8.10 in FEAR Perseus Mandate, today when I played I got very low performance. Also bought NFS Undercover and the performance doesn't exactly impress. When I drive to the mountains, FPS goes really low. Tried to lower resolution from 1600x1200 to 1280x1024 and it helped.

That was when I:
-Uninstalled the whole ati gfx/chipset driver package (8.10 with SB driver)
-Used driver sweeper, runscanner and ccleaner (registry cleaning) in windows safe mode (or what its called? In finland it's fault tolerate mode)
-Installed 8.11 (without SB)

Now I removed 8.11 with the same method, installed 8.11 SB driver and Catalyst 8.11. (had to download from here because the IGP version of 8.11 doesn't include what it says in the description.) I will try tonight how it's going to work. If it's no good, I will try to go back to 8.10 with SB driver.

(had to download from here because the IGP version of 8.11 doesn't include what it says in the description.)

Any thoughts about NFS Undercover compared to Pro Street? Does Undercover need much more power than Pro Street?

EDIT: To the 6GHz news I found this, "Update: The Phenom II reached WELL over 5.x GHz (read: REALLY over) at 1.9v on liquid nitrogen (boiling point -321F/-196C at 1 atm). Testing looks to have been done on a Gigabyte 790GX motherboard that is currently available."

:twitch: :eek: :D :eek: :twitch:

Maybe they used Gigabyte because the CPU voltage can be increased +0.6V = 1.900V. BTW What is the max CPU voltage in other AMD mobos out there?

those are some good results. Have you tried going any higher since?

Not quite Chick, I have had it at 3.3Ghz cpu and HT at 1.8Ghz. I dont get much time these days due to 13hour long days.

I will attempt to get 3.2 Cpu and 2.4 HT on sunday night.

The strange things is this DFI board has issues booting up on a cold start, takes 3 BSOD's to warm up and after its all peachy... lol
 
Meizuman,

The DFI board I have can add .750Mv on cpu special vid add in bios and I believe that when I get the new bios it can go even further!

Not that I would ever put more than 1.5v into to a cpu lol :)

There are so many settings for the phenom its awesome! I need a good DFI OC guide lol!
 
that is my score in 3dm06 i cant wait any longer for deneb

na thats not weird man.... mine does it also.... its frigging cold here in Canada.... i leave the window open to get rid of the humidity from my reef tank.... i found a fix for the 3 bsod.... i just added one click to the HT volt setting in the bios... 1.30v before and 1.40v.. now and haven't had any bsod start ups yet hope that helps ;)

well that explains it. I live in a hot place so I don't think that will happen to me.
 
man cp i cant believe AMD hit 6GHz
thats nuts man!!! :D dam i cant wait!
but what chip shall one get?
seeing that there releasing different cpu's through out the year

bro, I have became a hardware junkie, I will get the first Phenom II, and the month after if the AM3 ones kick even more ass, I'll get one too!. Then along the year Ill buy another one if its better, I dont care dude, i've never been so addicted to freaking PC's bro. Its a damn viscious cycle!!

Wouldn't know about the AMD+ATI part but i do know what it is like to see "two sweet ass women makin out":p and unforcently i know what it is like to see 2 men make out :banghead:

I would sig that but i am too lazy to do it :toast:
