Phenom 9950 overclocking

[p_o_s_pc]

I shall go check it out now ::: types google.com:::

so what you come across when you googled it?

 

[Squark]

My chip seems determined not to clock stable over 3Ghz

Seemingly whatever settings I use it isn't stable at 3.1Ghz

did u try using lower mult. and higher bus speed?

I feel a New Build Coming Real Soon
i updated my bios through Fox live Update now i have the option to set my ram at 400 667 800 1333 1066

and a new option appeared its
TLB PATCH
disable/enable
its disabled by default

Don't know what the TLB patch is. However why a new build? Its socket AM2, just put the CPU in and start overclocking

hahah, im with you on that, i put some high flow fans in the rig for the rad, oh man, its crazy.

mine is going to be worse then it is now once i get the Antec 300 because of all the fans in it... looks like i am always going to have to have music or something on.

ha, I always do so it doesn't bother me. AC is always on to sleep anyways so its no big deal, but the noise difference is considerable hehe.

I sleep with my TV on so it shouldn't keep me awake at night. I am gonna have to rig something up to do something bout the LED fans being so bright at night while i have no case

uh oh, I put a chair in front of my case Keeps the light from spreading.

I got a huge 200+mm side fan with blue leds, my rear case fan is also led, plus my ram cooler. The chair does the job!!

kinda hard for me to do that i don't have a case yet. It should be here friday but i can't have it till Xmas

man I hate waiting for presents hehehe. disconnect your fans at night hehehe

could but i might as well just turn it off lol.
BTW 3dmark scores with video card at 715/1900/1800 (core shaders mem) CPU @3ghz ram @440(880)@4-4-4-12 I score about 11k in 3dmark 06 using AMD Fusion. (i forgot to take a SS not with it too night) I will be benching again sometime this week at 3.1ghz and what ever else i can get it stable at. also after gaming and Orthos for hours CPU temp hasn't passed 35c (2.6ghz@1.168v) stock voltage is 1.18v

thats not bad dude. Here is a screen of one of my runs with my Athlon 64 X2 6000+ and my 2900xt



comparing to mine, I think you did great However, I did not have AMD Fusion back then.

Thanks bro I was disappointed i wanted higher but it will come in time. I still gotta tweak alittle. Also I found the max bus speed my board will do is 320 even with 1.5v on northbridge. My old Nforce 4 Gigabyte board maxed out around 32x so I'm kinda disappointed but 320mhz will be just fine to max out almost any CPU i put in i am sure.

as you tweak more and get more familiar with the chip, you'll see better results. Just gotta find that sweet spot

doesn't help any that this is a new board too. So i got a new board new CPU and also ram that i haven't had much time to mess with before my old board died.... So i am learning
a new board,New chipset,New CPU, and how my ram acts with this board

that pin points exactly to what I said. Im still trying to learn my ram, so we are on the same boat. This ram i have never oc'ed. I just use my multi, but now that I have the desired CPU clock, I want to push my ram.

can i set my ram to 800mhz its at 400 right now because my fsb is at 200 and it just doubles as i bring it up so at 220 i would be at 440
what you think?

440 will mean your ram is running at 880 MHz, should be able to run that fine.

Well my computer took a dump

1 of the tubes connected to the video card waterblock came off and my video card went wild and i shut it off and cleaned off the fluid and removed some of it might have to rma it to diamond will see in a few hours

Its a 4870x2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHAHAHAHHAAHAHAH hopefully they replace it

 

[LeMoose]

that sucks man =(

 

[Assassin48]

ok GOOD news it still works doing a benchmark right now the temps are 35C on idle
might call diamond because i have been hearing this whining sound since i bought the card every time the card is under load i googled it and they said it was a capacitor and it would be ok what you think guys?

I would RMA it. I had a 7900GS that did that it held up ok for a few months until i did a voltmod and it couldn't handle the stress. I think you got a weak cap on the card and it may not hold up to heavy stress and high overclocks
