I cant believe I'm not seeing M3A32 on the Asus AM3 compatible motherboards =(

Assassin48 · Dec 5, 2008

I dont think mine is so i will probably make a new AM3 build if Foxconn doesnt make a bios update

It does work. I saw someone with a M3A32 with a 940.

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

The FSB is currently at 232 and a multi of 13, when I was testing it before it didn't like 235*13 (it would boot but not stable, though I didn't play with voltage too much), I don't think my memory could take too much more (though I don't know how to stop the FSB: DRAM ratio being 1:2).

Any ideas? Have I just got a bad clocker?

I'd really like to push to 3.1Ghz

I'm going to by installing a new fan cooler (S1283) at the weekend so I can check the code on the chip then.

Woke up this morning and deided to do some overclockings since it was clod outside, so i opend my window and started doing some bios changes and i managed to hit a stable
3.2ghz overclock and check out my temps

^^^^haha, thats awesome dude

LeMoose · Dec 5, 2008

Assassin, lol I know

Just opened my door the other day to get some fresh air, and my cpu temp dropped 12 degrees almost instantly.
I guess the cold norwegian winters are good for something.
About -3C now, should try some serious OC'ing in mid-january when were at -15C =P

Chicken Patty · Dec 5, 2008

i'm so jealous!!!

Can I move into one of your houses for a few days, i'll overclock and leave!! hahaha

Fans are only good for Airflow, Temp Maintaining relies on the surrounding air/ambient temps.

god your a fast o/c'er mate?
how did ya change cpu freq so fast and boot up? your clock is one minute difference between screenies.... :wtf:

Assassin48 · Dec 6, 2008

i load up prime95
after i took the screen shot
look at the bottom left its the green box

probably modifying the App, or he is booting up and had those previous images made.

I think CPU-z just had the wrong reading the first time, happens sometimes.

Chicken Patty · Dec 6, 2008

Well folks, after many weeks of testing and tweaking, my new everyday settings, stable so far for a whole week with occasional Prime 95 sessions. So far I can game, browse (now), and do everything I regularly do without it crashing. This chip is 140W, it loves juice, and as you see temps are great, so CPU is still happy and healthy

nice CP but why cant ya speed up the bus to get more bang outta the memory? i see your HT link is under 2000mhz... do you see any slower tests having it so low?

thats because the system is idling.... don't you see even on your rig the cpu cores go up 1-2% at idle?

i only seen that problem from a store brand pc.... but ya never know CP...

Grats on your 24/7 overclock CP . I ran mine at 3.211 1.53v for a couple of weeks trouble free but i just can not bring my self to running that voltage 24/7 on the cpu so i drop back to 3.125 1.45v .I'am sure you guys seen this link but just in case this show us what we got to look forward to

Hell yeah Merk!!!
I cant wait to get paws on one of them

Chicken Patty · Dec 6, 2008

thanks for the replies guys. Well I can give you guys some 3dmark scores soon, i'm trying to figure out why AMD Fusion does not want to work even in advanced mode, only works in basic mode. But i'll have them soon.

Full, this RAM does not overclock very well dude, as soon as I bring it up a bit system becomes unstable. I've fed it up to 2.3v, still no stability from them. What do ya think?
