im still trying to push my 2500+ M over the 3200 Barrier, i recently found that it's the chipset on the mobo and possibly the VR system that is getting too hot that it drops voltage, CPU temps remain nominal at 2343 MHz (32 C load) but the Chipset runs at 40 C which the cooling on that cant handle it.

Got my phenom for a couple of weeks ago
Haven't been overclocking since my amd xp3000+ for God knows how many years ago.

This thread really made me get back on the horse,
I added my wPrime score in the other thread.

Can't wait for the times to drop :)

thanks dude, I added you to the score board, clock more dammit!!!! hehehe :toast:

I can’t blame you… especially considering it will only require – at most – a BIOS update. If close to 4 GHz on air with 10-15% higher instructions-per-clock (IPC) is as claimed, Phenom II will be an instant hit - especially considering it is widely considered as having slightly better IPC and lower thermal output than Yorkfield.

Ultimately, you will be rewarded for holding on to your AM2+ platform by outperforming current Yorkfields with a mere CPU swap.

That is what I love about AMD, intel if they itched in the wrong place, they make you buy a new mobo and make a complete new system (core i7 for example).

I think the Phenom II will be better than what people think, lets wait till its out, Core i7 guys might be in for a little surprise :)

That is pretty awesome. Good scores. Before I decided on the 9850BE I did a lot of research and I found a review that ran many benchmarks in comparison to the Q6600 and a lot of the scores showed the 9850 outperforming the Q6600. Not that I was considering Intel (I'm a loyal AMD fan and most likely always will be). If I find that review again I'll post the link for you some where. The only thing that boggled me a bit is that the 9850 chokes on winrar for some reason. Not such a big deal though.

Speaking of the Phenom II's, I just had a dream (or a nightmare rather :laugh: ) that they were out. I was at some computer store looking at one and it was priced at $1000 :eek: I was crying inside because I didn't have that kinda cash!! Then I woke up!! :laugh: True story!!

12th place again, this time in CPU-Z chart

I am starting to think that this mobo really kicks some ass. I had bios v. F2a but I found that they had updated it to F2. I have been checking for new bios many times recently but they just removed the "a" so maybe I missed it. This version feels a bit more "forgivable". I had few bsod's today when fiddling with AOD, but there was no "damage" to windows with this new bios. It seemed to be rather normal thing to happen when something went wrong with the older one.

Tried some wPrime and submitted to WPrime Benchmark thread

Hehee, just wait when I get cold air in my machine. :laugh:



And this was just about -6ºC outside. It was few days after I got my rig up and running. The CPU cooler fan was running @ 11V because it was behind a Zalman controller, that has 5-11V adjust. Now the fan runs at full 12V. Little decrease in temps after that.

The intake fans are not very powerful. 37CFM @ 12V and they are also behind the Zalman controller. So they run @ 11V also when maxed.

I have the Zalman MFC1 Plus Controller. If it only could go all the way up to 12V... :(

EDIT: Some testing with PiFast, quite decent result, 6th place in hwbot.org
Both results in my profile.

damn, I wish I can get those temps right now. I added a run to the thread now, you got some catching up to do :) hahahahha, just barely beat your score. Im working on a higher clock but this chip is making it difficult.

Hmm. I haven't tried to change the priority in the task manager... Should it do any difference? Check the edit on my last post.

ha, i am sooo jealous of your temperatures right now haha. It is hot as hell where I live (miami, florida), however the temps are cool now, but still no where near what you are getting :)


changing the priority makes a difference sometimes, depending on the task, Kei had done a research on that and posted some valuable information on that, but he only tried it while gaming. W prime is a multithreaded benchmark, I dont think changing the priority will do a difference, but hey give it a shot :)

CP i got my PSU today and this chip maxes out bout the same place most 65nm athlon chips do 3.3ghz couldn't get it stable to even run Super PI and i wasn't going to go higher then 1.42v that i was already at because idle was at 42c even with my HDT1283 cooling it. maybe once the temp goes down in my room and i get feeling better i will try again.

CP i got my PSU today and this chip maxes out bout the same place most 65nm athlon chips do 3.3ghz couldn't get it stable to even run Super PI and i wasn't going to go higher then 1.42v that i was already at because idle was at 42c even with my HDT1283 cooling it. maybe once the temp goes down in my room and i get feeling better i will try again.

damn dude, that sucks. That thing just needs more voltage :). Man you're inspiring me to get one really bad. My phenom with four cores enabled idles at mid to high 20's at 1.55v with my water set up. I'm sure I can push your chip even more. Did you get it stable at 3.3 GHz though???

i gave up on it for now. I will try some other time when i am feeling better and have more patinas to deal with it. but i think i know why i couldn't get it stable i forgot that the HT was at 5x and i was running 265mhz bus speed so that was way above the 1000mhz that its supposed to run at. I know for sure it wasn't the ram it was running ~400@4-4-4-12@2T@2.15v have had it higher then that before on that voltage. I also gave the chipset and HT more voltage did no good. So it just leaves the CPU holding me back...

BTW the 12v rails on this PSU is solid haven't seen them go below 12.1v even with overclocking and gaming. :rockout:

Yeah well, from experiences, i'll tell you something. Even when adding more voltage, sometimes keeping the HT below 1000 MHz will be the key to stability. :)

What PSU did you get, the Silverstone in your specs??
