Phenom 9950 overclocking

[Chicken Patty]

hey CP..
Have ya had any luck using the auto clock in AOD?
with my 6400 black it worked but no luck with the 9850

havent tried it with the quad bro. Won't really know what to tell ya. I might try it one day see how well it works. There was one dude over at XS that had some good results, but other than that haven't really heard of any one using it.

i just stubled accros something.... my ram is rated to run 2.20v @ stock... im now @ 2.18v 4.4.4.12.20 T2
880MHz
unganged
and am passing prime95.... i up the ram to 2.20v-2.22v and bsod happens straight away.... i read months ago that these m3a32-mvp mobo's have there mem volts fu^kd up.... still testing....

im @ 3.08
x14
220 fsb
10 x nb link
11 x ht-nb link
1.30v ht
1.20 sb
and the above was never posible b4 with x14 multiplier.... only 13.5 seemed to be the sweet spot???
wtf?
ok going to test lower mem voltage and see what happens..

just one question mate.... why you only using 3 sticks of ram? dont ya like being able to run Dual channel? and i see your using only a 500 watt Psu.... wow man you dont have any crashing problems?

Only 500w? And one of my sticks died so I only have 3 sticks.

sorry mate didnt mean anything by my post...

your Psu is to the limit id say (imo) and just thinking after i seen your system spec that if you upgraded to at least 800 watt + PSU you would see a huge improvement in clocks and the ability to clock even higher... sorry if you thought i was nit picking..

I don't need to clock higher. I can do 3.8ghz 24/7, in fact that was old clock but I saw minimal improvements and for some reason windows movie maker hates any sort of OC that requires volts past 1.3v. The only reason I would waste money on a 800w is if I got a couple 4870x2's but that isn't happening any time soon Trust me, this is a quality unit, got two 22a +12v rails which is twice the amount I need.

how are you applying the thermal compound?
your still way to high mate!

It might just be overdrive as my motherboard bios thinks its 10 degrees lower.

EDIT: or perhaps it my stupidity in putting one of my case fans back the wrong way round so they were all pointing in! I just wacked it te other way round and the cpu temp dropped 10 degrees, the side of the case being off while i did it may of helped, (i had the comp on when i did swapped it back so its not shutting dow that did it)

cool

dont think so man... i use multiple temperature programs and there all around a - + 2c
id look at how your applied the grease

i just edited the post, now the temp is 55 degrees, and if i take the side of and wave a magazine at it it goes down to 51 degrees lol

Lol you krazy man....
hey just tell me how you put the paste on..... there is a good and bad way of doing it

you should be in the lower 30's at idle and toping around 55-60c and not doing over 62c ayt your current clock of 3GHz (using a moderate air cooler) ok...

 

[fullinfusion]

heck im at 3.1Ghz 1.485v and idling typing to you ppl with a temp of 36c.... prime under maximum heat cpu setting gives me 43c.....

yeah bro, you gotta watch out with that. Is there anythign out there that will tell you DDR voltage in windows?

These are my most stable 24/7 settings as of now, these last few pages are all benching settings, never really tested for 100% stability.

So far i'm here:

haha, I have heard of putting house fans and stuff to blow into the computer, but blowing it with a magazine, oh lord, no offense, but that cracked me up. Hey as long as it works, cheers to you!!!

However, when I purchased my 9950 I ran the stock cooler for a while, full will tell you. I idled high 30's, maxed out about 55ºc. This was at 1.42v forgot at what clock. Oh and this was with the thermal compound that came with the factory cooler.

haha, the only time I got to boot up at 3.5 GHz now that I remember it was at 1.6375v, and i was idling at like 40ºc, of course after a while it cools down, but there was no cooling down here, it crashed and didn't wanna boot at that clock again lol.

@ 3.45 GHz 1.55v I idle around mid 30's and max out close to 50ºc.

During a 32m super pi run max was 41ºc, but that is not a 100% stress on the CPU like Everest is.

I think Everest reports memory voltage. I'm using version 4.60.1500. If you go to Computer -> Sensors and scroll down to the bottom, there's a list of voltage values. At the bottom you'll find DIMM voltage which I would imagine is memory voltage. I don't know how accurate it is though.

So far i'm here:

lol.... hey CP.... drop your NB freq and also the ht link down to x9

that'll give ya 2214MHz on both and from there you'll be able to get better multi and fsb clocks

I know, but lets see how far up they can go eh mate???

thanks, i'll go check it out now, i'll let you know.

 

[fullinfusion]

testing the memory voltage is tested by a multi meter.... but im not sure what pins need to be touched..... Anybody?

Kool be checking in on and off

i'll keep you posted

you mind posting a screenshot of where it is, I can't find it on mine, same version.

 

[fullinfusion]

that just tell's ya the voltage the bios is set at...... you need to hard test it with like i said....a *Multimeter*

no no your wrong hheheheh just kidding mate.

Yeah, well I think our mobos don't monitor dimm voltage anyways so blah!!!!!:
