Phenom 9950 overclocking

[Chicken Patty]

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

well dude, screw it, I think this chip can take it for a while, and the Phenom II will be here as early as December 20th for some stores . So if it messes up who cares, i'll grab one of those babies

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?

i find dropping the ram's voltage to 2.18v and just loosen up the the last timing setting a bit works at 900mhz
i told ya b4 (bitching) that the tracers suck.... but i have found the limit on these crappy sticks

so what timings you suggest running? Remember I run them at DDR 1066 2.2v. 5-5-5-15-30

Well CP when i run my ram at 1066 it dosen't overclock at all to. What has work the best for me is to drop the ram back to 800 and bring the NB & HT up to the 2400-2500 mhz range and that has score better in apps for me than 1066 running at 205-207 (my max for 1066 ) NB & HT . The 9850 i got the frist week they came out and it hates Multi . With my ACC at +6% it will not boot at 3.2 16x But drop the multi to 13.5 and add 247 HT Bamm ! 3.211 mhz stable np .

thats your problem right there.. your using 1066 mode,
Run them at 800MHz and clock the bus speed to get up there and higher...
Id suggest trying 4.4.4.12.22 @ 2.20v for what i think your going to push for lol

yeah those settings are written outside the box heheh.


What FSB and multi you reccommend for 3.3 Ghz??

Well i didn't write them there for fun ya know lol

chicken check out this ram speed http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=457012

kinda loose but it would be a good starting point(btw thats on ram that was $38)

 

[fullinfusion]

try my fav of x14 and 230fsb = 920MHz ram
x10 ht link and mem in bios =2300MHz on both
3.22GHz

 

[fullinfusion]

shit i thought you said 3.2... sorry try fsb228 and 14.5 multi
and keep all the other settings what i posted b4

What stores I MUST KNOW!!!!

lol i thought jan 8?

yeah i thought jan too but the more i read the dates keep getting further away.... COMMON AMD!!!! GET WITH IT!

Dec 20 north america http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/12/05/phenom-ii-fore-christmas $275 dollars for the Phenom 2 940

 

[Chicken Patty]

thanks merkk, thats the exact same article I read, you just got to it first.


About my RAM, FUll, ill try these settings out tomorrow as I'm going to bed now, but remember the RAM at 920 MHz even with 4-4-4-12-20 will not give me better performance than the ram at 535 5-5-5-15-30, tried that before, I will have to be able to put it at DDR2 800 in the BIOS and using a high FSB to get up to 535 with 4-4-4-12-20 timings. Probably will take more voltage too! Last time I tried to do that it would not boot.

 

[Squark]

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.

Any help for me?

theinquirer i don`t know he seems to post fake stuff to get hits sometimes wait and see.

Ok first do you have DDR2 800 or 1066 ganged or unganged,Also try in memory options the 6.9 ratio for memory.is your chip multi unlocked?

DDR2 800 Unganged
Its the X4 9950BE so it should be multi unlocked

I've been looking through the mem options in the Bios and I can't seem to see a ratio mentioned, I must be over looking it somewhere.

I will look it up here just give me a few mins to reboot and write it down lol .

ok go to memory options then under channel interleaving select [20:16,9] .

Say could you post a cpuz screen shot of your cpu and memory spd`s ?

Thanks
I did upload a pic of CPU-Z a couple of pages back, I'll try and find it



Is that enough?

the tab that says sdp i need.your cpu 125 watt? try the multi at x15.5 stock should do 3.1

Yep it's the 125W version


That one enough or do you need all the Slot pages?

First off i'am not using the Asus 79-t mother board i'am using a Foxconn a79a-s can not tell you what Volts to use on your NB. The foxconn board not the same i use 1.95v on my NB and 1.35v HT to make 2500 NB & HT prime stable here some screen shot of mine .Now just becuse most of Asus guys can not do it dosen't mean it don't work. Maybe you should have gotten the Foxconn board instead .
