Haven't tried OCing. Been playing Saints Row 2 since I got home

Gonna try it tonight when my friends log off.

ShadowFold · Jan 27, 2009

Man.. Having an unlocked multiplier is SO AWESOME.

This my first real OC attempt.. Gonna try for way more tomorrow

Castiel · Jan 27, 2009

Very nice!

Well i almost hit 21000
i hit 20772 with no fusion
then 20884!

sorry to be a pain in the A$$ guys, but im gona be buy a new machine soon. can somebody tell me which is the better overclocker between the Gx & Fx?? Cuz im seeing a lotta Fx only hittin around 3.7-3.8Ghz when the Gx's are hitting for 3.8-4Ghz.

thanks all.

If you are serious about gaming and you want to utilize CrossfireX at its maximum potential than the 790FX is the way to go with 2 full PCIe x16 slots.
With 790GX you only get either one PCIe x 16 or two PCIe x8 for running CrossfireX. I prefer the full bandwidth and therefore went with the 790FX Asus board.

As for OC'ing the Phenom II I think both motherboards have what it takes to OC very well providing it has the newer SB750 (SB600 is garbage).

It all depends on your cooling though and IMO mobo's with the 790GX chipset were released a lot sooner than the 790FX which gave people more time to play with.

eidairaman1 · Jan 28, 2009

so on 790FX to the boards run in 16x16 or do they split 8x8?

FreedomEclipse · Jan 28, 2009

I dont have the budget to go full on Crossfire but I will do eventually as funds come in

- I just want to make sure that I get the best 'base' setup before i start kicking myself in the head in frustration. & i cant exactly take used mobo's & CPU's back to the shop because 'they didnt overclock very well'

Chicken Patty · Jan 28, 2009

i recommend the M3A79-T or the DFI for 790FX, and the Gigabyte for 790 GX, those are the top boards if you ask me

Fudge......stupid PCP&C 510w (650w peak) isn't enough anymore i crash in 3D with my cpu heavily oc'd :cry:

dude, FIT is selling his PCP&C 860w i think, check it out

johnnyfiive · Jan 28, 2009

Doh! Gotta give it credit for lasting through the 4.0+ clocks though!

Chicken Patty · Jan 28, 2009

^^no doubt

i pm'd him about 20min ago no money though...anyone want to donate to the cdawall is going to set a 7950GX2 and 8800GTS WR foundation?

its still running VGA card just maxes it out in 3D

The ASUS I have is probably the best AM2+ mobo in the market today.

Welp, I met my goal of 3.5GHz with my PII 920 on the K9A2 Plat v1.0. Anything passed 3.5 results in instability. I was able to boot into Windows at 3.71GHz but it was only stable enough for a screenshot. The one thing holding me back is not being able to adjust the NB multiplier. I'm 100% sure that is my problem. Here is a screenie of 3.71GHz :

(The voltage is high but I'm sure 1.52v isnt needed for 3.7. I kind of overshot it.

)

I really don't want to buy a new motherboard at this point. I'm pretty happy with these results. Coming from a 9600BE anything above 3.0GHz on the 920 is way more than enough for me.

cdawall · Jan 28, 2009

not bad for stock GPU clocks i dropped the cpu/vcore down alot hopefully i can peak the graphics card now

stock gpu cpu@3.8ghz ram@1232 6-5-6-16

eidairaman1 · Jan 28, 2009

ya know, let 3DM2001 die, its not much a benchmark anymore tbh unless if you have a card around the GF5/6/R9***/RX*** lineup.

exodusprime1337 · Jan 29, 2009

So, i'm excited i really am... but one thing pisses me off. Unlike almost every other phenom i've ever seen, mine takes 1.5v to get 3.4 and it doesn't go any higher... i'm just adjusting the multi and nothing else, just the cpu voltage. i can't even get a post a stock at 3.4, stablet hough at 1.5v.. and what should i use to check temps if i can't use aod?

What board do you have? I know ASUS and DFI come with good tools for temps on the CD.

exodusprime1337 · Jan 29, 2009

i have asus m3n-ht. i installed pc probe so i'm not worried about temps now, but 3.4 at 1.55v's to be stable? i mean comeon, even the worst p2 wouldn't need 1.5 to get that. wtf is goin on?
