4 gig on air wow who knows what could be done on watercooling

but with 1.9v wow for 5.8ghz+

that was on ln2 though, so its ok, for short periods of time of course hehehe.


Well on water AMD promises over 4 GHz. Im assuming around 4.5 Ghz as an overage overclock on water cooled chips :). You can probably do over 5 GHz on water, but for benching periods only.

I have thought about going to 32 bit, I only have 2 gigs of ram so its no big deal for me.

For you its not worth it.

you know whats crazy too!


I work for a steampship line, you know ship containers worldwide. Import/export. I heard about a claim that the company had about two years ago which was before I started to work there. They had shipped a 40' container to south america and the cargo commodity was "Computer Chips", obviously if there was a claim, not all the chips made it there. At that time, what would have been in there???? I will have to send my Ninja to investigate. Maybe they were pre release Phenom II's that were already in the making!!!!

Man.. =(

I'm at 3.1Ghz 200x15.5 @ 1.3625 volts and it still fails Prime95 after one minute,
am I doing something wrong ?

Temps are at a healthy 44-46 degrees during load with my new TRUE :)

Prime is a bitch =P

ACC, is that some settings in bios ?

And now my AOD is acting up. It says my PCIe speed is 250mhz aka maxed out, which it isn't according to bios where it shows as 100mhz. What the deuce ?
Seems like my cpu is stable at 3.0ghz at 1.45 volts. Thats high =/

NO. It freezes after 5 minutes or so in Prime. Djeez

Never Mind about Acc you have a sb600 and the new sb750 have acc
you should also check your temps because i see that you have a stock cooler

in my opinion i would overclock in the bios its easy once you get a little dirty :)

indeed Bios ftw, AOD is cool and all ,but this bogus frequenzy reading and the constant freezing killed it.
Are there really any other cons when upping the volts beside the increased temp?
I've installed the ultra extreme 120 and as of right now I have 32/42 idle/load temps on 2.6ghz and about 39/48 on 3.0, so I guess I can push it still.

Updated my specs, sorry for that

you could kill it but that would require alot of volts right now i am trying 3.4ghz with 1.53v and prime still fails on core 3 so i dont know what i am doing wrong here

have you considered buying a new mobo a AM2+ 790fx/sb750?
if you do tell me you price range it will improve ocing

big difference from me and you i am water cooled
20/30 idle/load on 3.2ghz

did you lap you cpu cooler?

omfg, somehow at some point have I decreased the ram voltage from the recommended 2.1 to AUTO :eek: , and I'm back in business it seems.

That is quite the difference in temps, wow.
I did not lap the cooler, no. After some reading on the forum, I think I'll look into it.
