Phenom 9950 overclocking

[ASharp]

Here's a pic:

Just ignore the PSU voltages. This board doesn't seem to like to read those properly for some reason. The PSU reads fine with other boards.

nice and thanks, but I think the reason mine does not show is that my board does not monitor DIMM voltage.

Ok im back.. This time my comp. (Asus Crosshair II Formula and 2 9800GTs)
Stock

The Asus board is about 1s faster than the Biostar at stock clock.

Welcome back dude!!!


Thats really nice bro, knowing that, up that multiplier and give a few bumps on the cpu voltage and see what the puppy can do.

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...

I am now doing 52c at my current clock, and what thermal paste? it came ready coated... i could apply some of my silver compound i suppose...

yes clean off the cpu and cooler with alcohol and put a small amount of Arctic silver 5 paste on the cpu... that will for sure drop your temps... that white silicon paste is junk man

OK bumped the V a bit and set my memory to its advertised specs.

Here is 3.2 with just the multi at 16 (memory still at spec)

not bad MK, however I was able to pull a quicker time with looser memory timings and at 150 MHz less. Why don't you try upping the v core another notch, I find sometimes that when the system is a bit unstable, yet able to finish super PI it runs slow. A bump in the v core usually gives it more life and it performs a lot better.

here is my run at 3.0 GHz, however I just realized that I Have my RAM running at 1066 5-7-7-24

9950



and my 9850 at 3150 MHz same fsb and multi as you, i'm telling you, this chip was golden, man I wish I can have it back sooo bad. Scared to get another one and that it is not the same

Here you got me, so looks like your CPU wakes up a bit at higher clocks. By the way 3.2 GHz at 1.300v, thats very good.

Thanks CP..
I am a bit disappointed in this mobo (Cost VS Performance) and am probably gonna pick up a Biostar N750 this week to play with.

I just looked up that ASUS on Newegg, god, can't it be any more. To me the best overclockers for phenoms are the 790fx chipsets with a SB750. Can you link me to the biostar that you want to purchase?

 

[Chicken Patty]

bumped the multi from 16 to 16.5, now at 3.3 GHz, 1.408v.

best run was 24.0sec with RAM @ 1066 5-6-6-20


here is 24.578sec with ram timings 5-7-7-24


here is a 24.078 with ram timings 5-6-6-20

Here it is (I had two of these before) and it ran my 6400 at 3.7
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138108R
I just ordered it.. gonna sell the Crosshair II and my other killer mobo Biostar 570SLI

I heard the GX rules for OCing but I have a pair of 9600GTs that I am in love with (SLI). Also I like the way the memory slots go from front to rear (sucks for big CPU cooler, lol) but in my case airflow is very important especially because I use the tall Geil Evo ONE memory (blocks air from cooling the top of the mobo.

for the price that looks like a very good mobo.

The GX boards are good, but the 790FX boards the new ones are nuts for o/c'ing.

TO me the top boards right now are the DFI 790FX and SB750 board

and my current board

[Chicken Patty]

I gotta check if my buddy is going to get the board of me, but I have my old M3A32-MVP Deluxe. Great board, same as the one I Have now, just has the older SB600, it was still a great board and I bought it only a couple of months ago. Reason for replacement was the M3A79 came out. THe board is in mint condition, if you are interested let me know.

Here is a link to it

I had a bunch of DFIs a while ago and loved them but for me learning all the settings (thousands, lol) in their bios is too hard for me. I am so spoiled by Biostar, 1 click and poof 3.1.

Another thing is I am very limited in my income (mod or replace hardware) and modding pays a LOT more than OCing does, lol.

oh I bet, how do you make money of o/c'ing hehe? Hey do you build customs rigs for you or for other people if they are willing to pay? I would like to know.

I am designing cases/products for several companies as well as my own stuff so my time is limited.
But for a few people I really enjoy modding. I can be a bit fussy as its really important that the people I work for need to be cool. (nothing worse than pouring your heart and soul not to mention $$ into something for a jerk)
I am gonna be doing a mod for Steevo this week. Il start a thread on tues when his case shows up.

And as to making $$ OCing its not so important but it IS important not to destroy my hardware as I cant always replace it.(I buy my own stuff, I hate when companies try to give me parts because I feel obligated to be their fanboi)
