Phenom 9950 overclocking

[trt740]

at least for me it was a huge difference. I hit 3.6 GHz with my 9850.

Hey Brad, check this thread out, maybe you can help me. Check out the last post it has an update.

whats your fastest 24/7 clock with that motherboard prime stable?

Anyone Know if the phenoms 2 940 in fact come out on the 20

Hmm... let me look into my crystal ball!!! if i had to bet on it id say not till march at the earliest man... imo

It better be better by far!!!! I was originally going to go with the M3A32 before I was "talked" out of it by so good folks right here on this thread (humnhmmm) we don't need to mention who do we CP? lol.

I think CP was just poking at you Full cuz in your first post you said you just ordered the M3A32-T.....even I was like WTF? Where do you get one of those??

im a tard lol.... thanks for pointing that out to me... i was doing other things and didnt see my boo boo lol

hey fellas noticed with my motherboard if I use overdrive stability test my cpu tests fine and works great but if I use prime it won't prime past 3.0. I wonder what the deal is overdrive tests the hell out of my cpu, it gets just as hot as when using prime and all cores are stressed to 100 percent. I wonder if it is a issue with prime , because my cpu seems to be rock stable now at 3.2ghz with AMD overdrive stability test and it may go higher.

prime is meant to fail my friend, don't know why but i was told by a wiz.
I find adding a tad more voltage to the cpu-nb setting in the bios lets me pass Prime... i really wouldn't use Prime to test.... instead use O/D and Everest
I game flawless for hours when she passes AOD stress test

I'm a rather experienced overclocker and I understand what you mean I added a bunch of voltage. AOD seems to work better with theses chips, prime seems to find errors when none exist but only with theses amd quads. I'm also very impressed with overdrive auto clock if you up your voltage on you northbridge and cpu, then set the cpu multiplier to auto it will tweak the hell out of your system and find your true max stable clock. It even ups you ram or lowers it as needed and adjusts the multipliers to coincide as well, very impressive never seen so complicated a auto overclocking tool that work so well.

Sooo... by setting what ya said i should be able to use auto clock hey?
I never tried it your way but i will... thanks man.... any time i tried to auto clock the system would hang.... I'll let ya know here what it does for me.

 

[fullinfusion]

should i set the mem to auto as well in the bios?

 

[trt740]

set it to it's normal speed in the bios normal, the tool will down your ram clock if it needs to. Just up the northbridge to say 1.5v and your cpu to north bridge voltage and cpu voltage.

does it take a while mate?
I did what ya said and it would start auto at 200 than 202 exc exc for the bus speed.... how long did it take ya to get the MAX auto the clock?

25 minutes.

25 minutes.

cool mate... im just finishing converting a AVI file so i'll see what happens.

 

[Chicken Patty]

hey guys, the one time I did try to clock with AOD on auto it took forever, way more than 25 minutes and it only got up to like a 217 FSB. thats why I never used it again. Just thought I'd give some feedback.

don't like the 8.12 ccc
not very stable when it comes to o/c'n the gpu.... and still took a hit in benching so im back to ol trusty 8.10 ccc.... stable as hell imo

ya sometimes it takes mixing of drivers to get that stuff fixed, perhaps you can dump some code from 8.10 into 8.12 CCC or even use NGOHQ drivers with the Clasic CP and just use ATI Tray tools or something

Have you guys seen these new 3 slot car designs like the one from palit?

Well i was looking through youtube and i found this one 4870x2 that looks like the palit but its called Gainward 4870x2 its a triple slot design and its out

Gainward’s award Winning Technology and High-Performance / Wide-Bandwidth™ hardware design powered by 2048MB DDR5 version of ATI HD 4870X2 graphics card.ATI HD 4870X2, 2048MB, Equipped with stunning 750MHz on the core clock and a super fast 900MHz (DDR 3600) MHz on the memory clock, in addition the massive DDR5 2048MB /512bits width memory interface size can undoubtedly allow the graphics processors to achieve higher resolutions without running into memory capacity bottlenecks in games. Gainwards ATI HD 4870X2 series graphics card is definitely the weapon you must have to lead the world of new generation games.

The Specs:
GPU Clockspeed: 750MHz
Memory: 2048MB DDR5
Memory Clockspeed: 900(DDR3600)MHz
Pixels per clock (peak) : na
Bandwidth: 230.4GB/sec
Ramdac: 400MHz X 2
Bus: PCI-Express
Cooling: 2-Slot Fan
Video-Features: HD-Output
Connectivity: DVI-I + DVI-I

I guess you can overclock these more since the Diamond Overclocked Edition is 800mhz Gpu and 975Memory

its a glitch in the AOD program... i had that happen before also... id rather use the bios since too many ppl have fried there rig using it...

 

[eidairaman1]

probably need to reverse engineer it, and figure out what makes the app tick

 

[Meizuman]

I know my maximums are
HT ref clock = 284
CPU multi x16-x17 (depends on other settings)

But the thing I have been trying is to go for HT ref clock @ 266 and memory multi x4 (would be 1064MHz). But since when I manually set the multi for memory, I cant enable EPP so I cant manually change the timings according to EPP profile.

Can you guys enable EPP mode on your mobos when manually setting the memory multi?

Once I try to go for 266 with memory multi at x4, it freezes to post screen. Just shows CPU and memory amount.

Hi

First post on this forum - so much good stuff going on for the 'unclockable Phenoms'

I was wandering if some one could give me some pointers on how to get that last little bit extra out of my sys.
I'm particularly clueless in overclocking The NB as well as anything RAM timing related. In fact to be honest I'm a bit of a n00b when it comes to overclocking in general (just look at the choice of the motherboard!! )

Any pointers (particularly with the RAM timings) would be great

Got specs under my name and here's a link to cpu-z info

welcome to TPU buddy.

For now, until you get the feel of overclocking and you understand more how everything relates when overclocking, just use your multiplier.

Set your FSB back to 200 and just use the multiplier to bring up the clock little by little. When the clock becomes unstable then add a bit of voltage until it becomes stable. HOwever, please make sure you watch your temps, they tend to increase rapidly as you increase voltage!!

Keep us updated.
