lol
i saw that but, its name sake.....

they always bring those nice numbers,
24h prime95 or GTFO, easy as that, either its stable, or you´re wasting my time,
anyone can boot at 6ghz and get a screenshot before the processor pops,

do you really wanna be stable at 6ghz and have to be pouring LN2 24/7. I dont think so. Thats the whole point of LN2 and having a bench station. Braggin' rights. Point is a chip that can hit 6.3 Ghz has to be a good chip regardless.

Don't take it the wrong way but its just my opinion.

so wheres your system specs at if you wanna be cocky about this?

i second that.....
opps sorrry guys.... i hit 7 ghz but darn i wasn't fast enough to post a screenie b4 the bsod hahaha....

perhaps he is too embarrassed to show his specs, at least I have the bollocks to show my specs, and i'm probably the Only guy here that still runs a AXP as their primary.

Moose · Nov 23, 2008

Don't you mean AGP lol, if I were you I'd upgrade my CPU now, 2500+ with 1950 will just bottleneck the 1950. I ran a 3800+ with a 1600 and it was the CPU that slowed me down.

eidairaman1 · Nov 23, 2008

Well, i can attest to what you recommend, My CPU was running at 1.867 GHz stock (2500+ M which is 133x14 real effective 266x7 at 1.45V) Project Torque was running sluggish, well i pumped the CPu back to 2.2GHz (3200+) since i had formatted (best to downclock a machine during formats) and the Game Ran smooth, COD 4 runs great on this machine and look at the Box if you have it for recommended System Specs. Btw this machine i will be keeping for legacy app purpose and experimental overclocking (3.1 GHz was the highest any AXP was able to go but with extreme measures)

WhOoT, Whoot..... *Phenom II*
on air @ 4GHz!
WOW!!!!! :rockout:

Hi all,

Ok so I got it this far with bios only..... temps are still fine even with the added voltage for NB HTT etc.

Lookie..

i'm not too familiar with how those triple cores overclock, but it seems good so far dude, keep up the great work

Aevum · Nov 25, 2008

im not cocky, but my system runs stable,
im just saying, anyone can bring a system to a any speed and have it boot and screenshot, but whats the point if you cant do anything else with it,

in my book, either its usable, or its just that, a machine for bragging, no use what so ever,

p_o_s_pc · Nov 25, 2008

I still want one of them 8750s but it looks like i am going to have to hold on to my 4850e for sometime

Haha...I'm embarrassed to show my system specs but I do anyway!! LMAO! :laugh:

fullinfusion · Nov 26, 2008

just to let all of us using the m3a32-mvp deluxe mobo know..... there is a new bios update. 1301 :rolleyes:

Chicken Patty · Nov 27, 2008

Ok, so I decided to try my overclocking thing again with the Phenom on two cores. Reason for two cores is that my fourth core is really really weak, can't stabilize at anything over 3.2 Ghz. So why not just try on two cores, as long as I have fun doing it I dont care if its on one core.

Funny thing is that computer actually feels faster on two cores than it does on 4, 3dmark scores are as good or better clock for clock but of course overall the score is lower since the CPU test will not score as high.

Here are my latest results for each benchmark.

upwards of 3.2 Ghz without having to bump the voltage on the CPU nor the CPU nB. Set in the bios at 1.3000v for both.

Another thing to note is that my HTlink is low and my memory is at SPD. once I find the max of the CPU then I will try tighter timings on the RAM and see how far I can push my HT etc. For now I just want to find out the max on the CPU itself. So low HT and looser timings will help me out with stability.

ACC is disabled so far. Right now running at 3.3 GHz 1.300v.

Super PI

3dMark 06

shit nothing wrong with that CP.... good job.... i tried to run mine on 2 cores but it has the opposite affect than yours does... its slow

Im just expirementing until the Phenom II comes out. Keep me busy. But yeah computer def. feels great on two cores. Guess things are just not optimized fully for quad cores yet. But as far as 3dmark, two cores have the same effect on the video card than four clock for clock, I think my video card scores in 3dmark are actually slightly better now at over 3.2 GHz on two rather than four cores.

Chicken Patty · Nov 27, 2008

oh and for those I just posted, ACC is off.

Chicken Patty · Nov 27, 2008

what im at now, so far no benches as I am going to be with the family, but tonight I will put some benches up.

So far passed about 15 minutes of prime, so if unstable, shouldn't be too far off from being 100% stable

By the way, happy thanksgiving guys, for whom it applies of course

ACC enabled now at +2, and the voltage bumped from 1.3000v to 1.3250v in the bios

THanks dude, although its on two cores, its a pretty good overclock at that voltage for a Phenom. Remember this CPU is 140w, not 125w.

hey do you guy's set for memory in the bios
under timings
dct 0
dct 1
dct both?

I set for DCT both, I believe thats how it should be too, but I'm not sure. I do for DCT both, not problems so far, I think

thanks cp i use the same setting
just wanted to know what every body uses.
hey you heard of Fusion?
its not bad man!
check it out but watch the short video b4 ya download it just to have an idea what it does
