Phenom 9950 overclocking

[gkout]

Those are some nice temps for Load, I'm getting around 59C after an hour of OCCT with those same settings.
I think I have to reseat my HS.

Thnx sage
You can buy zalman cnps9500A for your cpu. This is the one I am using

I have a good cooler already, AC Freezer Xtreme. Thanks for the tip though.

Maybe I used to much TP or something, i'm also running my rig on a test bench.

 

[gkout]

gotta

Hmmmm, not sure how to take that but whatever........ post your results mate.

Gocha..didn't I? fullinfusion...So thnk u infusion...full of it

Hi Chicken, all,

Took my first steps into o/c. Raised .5 each time. Tested with 3d mark '06 and prime95 run at least 30 minutes in torture mode (i believe i would have crashed it in 5 if i had stability issues). I have not touched voltages and NB multipliers. Everything is still in factory settings except for the cpu multi which is configured currently at 14.5

Here 's a screenie of my first tests .




Waiting for your comments.

very good so far bro. Try .5 on the multi again, if its not stable then raise vcore little by little.

@3dsage - that chip runs hot man what speed you have it at?

 

[3dsage]

Right now i'm at 2.9, just bumped the Multi to 14.5. Everything else is stock.

Reseated it last night, and its idling at 37C and 1hr of OCCT, I max 56C.

 

[Skywalker12345]

hm not bad

try 14-15 multi, that board i could never get the fsb stable when i increased it??

stock voltage till around 3.05ghz

my cooler kept that thing under 60 around 3.3ghz

 

[3dsage]

I got it up to 215 with 14.5x, stable enough for a few WPRIME runs, then Reboots.

Still havent bumped any Voltage yet, just my Ram, I got it up to 1152 MHZ with 2.3V. Its a Solid board. So far ....

 

[Skywalker12345]

yea its solid for sure, maybe a little bump in Vcore and NB and SB and try thr fsb a little higher. Also you can use ACC by hitting crtl + F1 at the main bios screen the go to the tweaker page and its at the top

 

[3dsage]

Dont know if its been posted before, but this AOD hack is pretty awsme. It lets you bump the VCORE up to 1.55 instead of 1.45

"By default the CPU voltage slider (CPU VID) in AMD OverDrive maxes at 1.45V. You can extend it to the max VID value of 1.550V by editing the “Preference.xml” file (with notepad.exe) in the AOD installation folder. Just find “MaxVcoreEnabled” and change it from “0” to “1”

Also that Green ring at the corner do I leave it Green or click it to have the red ring around it?
Edit: Seems like enabling it just make temps jump up 3-4C, WTF.

Another ? Why does AOD disable my ACC if I set it to All cores +2 in the Bios?

 

[Skywalker12345]

i have no idea i never use the AOD it sucks in my opinion

east tune by gigabyte is better but i usually stick to the bios anyway

 

[3dsage]

Yea, I use Bios to.
But it cool to tweak when doing some Super Pi, Wprime runs.

 

[Chicken Patty]

3dsage

that button is for CPU tweak. I believe it enhances cache usage or something like that, temps increase, but you also get a little boost in performance.

Anyone know what Advanced Clock Calibration is? I set it to Auto and it doesn't do anything under load. I thought it was suppose to overclock the CPU under load..

it helps the CPU stabilize, it won't overclock it though. Thats your job

My 9850 was a 3.2 GHz CPU, with ACC I got to validate at 3.6 GHz Stable at 3.45 GHz.


Validation for 3.6 GHz

Would I even have to mess with the voltage at all with it on?

yes you do. run CPUz at default settings, everything on auto. see what the default voltage is on the CPU, then go in a set it manually to that. Then start overclocking it. Once its not stable then increase voltage little by little Or the hardware monitor section of the BIOS should tell you vcore as well.

 

[ShadowFold]

Nice.. Should I leave it on auto or put it on +10?

 

[Chicken Patty]

leave it off for now.


Try without ACC, once you cant seem to get your CPU stable for nobody, then apply +2, then if more is needed +4. All chips are different, the majority dont need more than +4.

You can also run prime for stability and if a core fails prime before others then that core is weaker so you should be able to set ACC per core as well.

 

[fullinfusion]

no that wasnt mine... i'll look for the rite one.

 

[fullinfusion]

i guess i didnt back it up since my last windows install
Hey David did ya get you new amd mobo yet?

Hello again guys,

So far so good. multiplier at x15 and still haven't touched any other settings. Prime95 for 1 1/2 hour all tests . 3dmark06 completes with no complains, though the resulting score is lower than the one at 2,9ghz. I suppose this has to do with the actuall load of the system during the 3dmark test.

And ofc another screenie...Be hold x15,5 on the way

Happy o/c everybody

thats weird mate? do you disable your av and other things running in the background before your benchmark ?
