Thanks man. I appreciate that.

However, from what I've found, AOD is not accurate on PII voltages. Can you install smart guardian from the utilities CD, and do the same thing and post that?

Tom, that's a nice clock, and the superpi run is a bonus. Have you tried a wprime 1024 run at that speed?

ShadowFold · Jan 26, 2009

I updated my last post.. TPU capture didn't pick up smart guardian for some reason.

Is that idle or load?

ShadowFold · Jan 26, 2009

Load. I kept the stability tester going, hence the hotter temps than the first pic.

Is this an error or does my board have -.1 vdroop lol

Looks like the vdroop is pretty good on that board. Certainly better than on my 78-T.

ShadowFold · Jan 26, 2009

Can vdroop get any better than that? Or did DFI really out do them selves on this board

I wouldn't get that gigabyte board. I heard it's got problems. I'm telling you, the DFI 790GX is really good. Mines been really good so far.

hey is the problems based on reviews from Newegg? or are they based out of here, because to me on motherboards/video cards im skitish to purchase them from a e-tailer, because we dont know how they store them.

Well, the real test will be at higher overclocks. Vdroop will increase as the clocks and voltages go up. That's when you'll really know. I have no idea what my vdroop is like at stock. I didn't start checking it until I had my 940 up over 3.6ghz.

ShadowFold · Jan 26, 2009

I'll go start cranking up the voltage and clocks brb

ShadowFold · Jan 26, 2009

About as far as I will go tonight.. Maybe I will get my PII tomorrow or Tuesday

I was going to order the new memory but my ps3( 60gb) ended up getting the YLOD with a game inside the drive , but i can pay and get it fixed for $160 or have it exchanged at the store for the newer 80gb or 160gb idk yet but they dont have the same features as mine
This is my highest clock on phenom 940

Thanks i will try to keep going havent really oced this in a few weeks just stayed at 3.74

Phenom II's need really good cooling. Well this is what I find when I OC's my Phenom II 940 right up to 4.10 GHz but my OCZ Vendetta couldn't handle it. What do you guys think about this cool little cost effective water cooling setup??

TBH id rather build my own cooling than use a kit like that, also i think CoolIT Freezone gets better rating for cooling performance.

Also with a Water cooling kit, whats getting cooled besides the CPU? gotta take that into affect, no cool airflow over the rest of the system means higher operational temps even under stock conditions.

For the price, it's a good setup. It will cerainly give better temps than your OCZ. I would say though, you'd be much better off spending another $50 and get a good custom setup. I will tell you from experience that that Apogee drive pump/block is LOUD.

I certainly agree with the custom cooling. Regarding the Coolit Freezone. I gotta say that it will not cool better than the Swiftech on full load. About the only positive thing I found with the Freezone was impressive idle temps.

Now where can we get one of those liquid nitrogen and liquid helium kits

ShadowFold · Jan 26, 2009

Just got my Phenom II 940 in the mail

Gonna pop it in after I finish this download!!

jbunch07 · Jan 26, 2009

how exciting!

Assassin48 · Jan 27, 2009

YEA!
3.74 temps went up to 41C
CPU-z http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=493625

It doesnt look like much but my 3d mark06 score went up to 20572!

edit* Just used amd fusion pn basic and i got 20709!

LifeOnMars · Jan 27, 2009

So anyone here tried playing gta IV with these chips yet and are you getting good results? What about performance in gaming with the higher clocks....is it really getting the most out of your graphics cards?

ShadowFold · Jan 27, 2009

Saints Row is playing great for me. I get a solid 32 fps with it!

LifeOnMars · Jan 27, 2009

Shadowfold, loving the look of your system. Cost wise it looks very effective, a 500w psu seems a great choice from antec, hows it holding out for you? I'm only asking as im looking to make a PII 940 build and i may just emulate your build

Also, whats the motherboard like and how is the overclocking going?
