Phenom 9950 overclocking

Have you try a 32 bit OS yet ? Vista 64 bit is the hardest OS to over clock a Phenom with. Changing to a 32 bit OS you should be able to hit 3.4 maybe as high as 3.5

Aww merkk wheres the fun in that my friend lol?

I like adding more video cards to get better FPS than over clocking the crap out of the video card and taking a chance on killing it . Than
there the hole over heating problem when you over clock the crap out of the video card to but that just me .

or you could just water cool

All in fun Assassin but when you beat my poor litte 3850s with your water cool 4870x2 in 3dmark-06 i think about up grading hehehe . http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=9054809

hi there buddy and welcome to TPU. YOu got any screenies of the 3.5 GHz. Would love to see that bro.


Note: You are fairly new to these forums, I dont think its fair to come in here and just call the GTX "shit". Just a tip, I could careless what you call it, don't wanna get off to a bad start. Hope you take note on that.

are you running this all at stock air cooler amazing the highest i ever got was 2.9 cause i got scared

I just have to call him out on this one because a 3.5ghz would require some volts and a stock hsf would not get him that kind of oc even if it says 3.5 i dont think its stable

if you provide some benchs and screens i will take it back but until then i dont think its true

Are those with a stock HSF CP?

i was on water at the moment, but doable on the stock HSF. Only 1.472v bro.

I ran at 3.45 GHz on my 9950 @ 1.55v with max load temps of 62ºc and idled at around 39-41ºc. Open case though. AT this time i was on water, if i remember correctly, water temps were idle 32ºc load 41-42ºc

bro here is a pic of my BIOS settings, feel free to use them at your own risk, not every system is the same dude:

Leave auto xpress OFF and watch your temps! also dont go for 203FSB, go for 200, that is 3.4 GHz.

Here's an interesting article about Phenom clocking and scaling. It has few very interesting graphs about scaling. They tested various RAM, HT Link speeds and IMC speeds (Northbridge?).

http://www.madshrimps.be/?action=getarticle&number=1&artpage=3852&articID=895

It shows that Phenom -based rigs do scale very well when OC'ing.

They also mentioned about the Liquid Helium "tryout" that they'll perform in CES 09:

Keep an eye on CES 2009, an international technologies show in the USA, AMD will attempt to use Liquid Helium (-269°C) to cool down the Phenom II and clock beyond that 6.3Ghz mark ... that should be interesting! Stay tuned.
