Everyday stable for me in my signature. Still wish I could transplant a different memory controller in this CPU as I could then use less voltage/less heat/ higher OC, but this is just gravy! I almost don't want to use any other bios, due to my stability.

Here are some bios shots.

Very nice, all you guys talked me into Gigabyte and then you buy my old brand ASUS!!!!! Also why is your HTT so high? From what I understand anything past 2400 can cause os and bios corruptions etc and shows little performance gains. Also I was told on AMD boards anything past 1600 memory is overkill and makes almost no performance increases. It's all about cpu and northbridge speed correct? If it's not time to upgrade my ram.

I've already covered all of that. Just check my posts on the last page.

Should have my CH4 board tomorrow.

I wouldn't ever try to convince anyone to buy a Gigabyte. Not saying they are bad, but I always have good luck with Asus boards.

I just got these Ballistix back from RMA, thankfully they are the same sticks I originally purchased. I'm only running 1400mhz at cas 6. I'm waiting to see what kind of new ram comes out besides the G.Skill Flare stuff.

The gskill I have is just average stuff but my system still seems very fast.

Tom, I only advised you to buy Gigabyte for x58. Never said anything about AM3.

the MSI NF980A-G65 got me to 4.2, and i havent crashed once, and i havent crossed that line yet.

after a little longer for my waterblock and paste to settle then i will gruel it a little, and push it into the dirt.....

better safe then sorry....

Also i noticed a big thing on this board, it has like 12 phase power, and the CPU voltage down to the last decimal only fluctuates by maybe .002-3 so far which i have never seen before!!!!!!

the PWM seems to be crazy stable....

Reefer86 · May 7, 2010

ok guys so i have heard you can raise the HT for better performance is this true? or is the NB the better option to push?

Screeies with stability testing?

erocker which the cooling system you are using?

both together, right now. Bios "bugs" make it this way. You also need to set the multi manually(default is 10). I really think the ASUS and Gigabyte board will be best 1:1, but only time will tell.

I know it isn't a Phenom II but I am having some fun with my new "toy".

Here in a little bit i will try to post some pics of my 5600+ @ 3.5hz

Funny you should ask, as I'm about to add to it.

Here's a "mock up" of what it's going to be with adding a 2nd 120 radiator.

Currently I'm using a MCP355 pump with a XSPC res. top and a XSPC RX120 radiator with a heatkiller 3.0 water block.

God I love MSPaint in Windows 7. It does look like I just painted on a picture... Now we just need some brightness/contrast/color options.

stinger608 · May 8, 2010

Well, I find this to be nuts guys! Running a Phenom II 555 with all four cores unlocked, and running at an amazing 4.1ghz :rockout:

Just had to share this with all :pimp:

As everyone can notice, it is showing all four cores with the Windows "gadget" as well as the "B55" in CPUz to show this is in fact a Phenom II 555 chip.............

Man, has to be a golden chip! And if anyone is paying attention, this is being done running at 1.275 stock voltage, with a Cooler Master V8 cooler and the chip is running at 44C idle! I am getting ready to do some benchies with this chip!

Damn impressive from what I have seen with the 555's!

Just wanted to share this with my fellow TPU'ers :toast:

erocker · May 8, 2010

What?!!

With those low volts?! That is craaazzzaaayyyy!!! Seriously, crazy. :toast:

What do you all think about adding a radiator to my loop? I'm hoping to knock a couple degrees off my temps.

Velvet Wafer · May 8, 2010

i also find it totally crazy !

TheMailMan78 · May 8, 2010

Well I'm running at 3.6 now on 1.43v. Apparently with my new bios I dont need as much voltage. Wierd.

I don't give a shit E on what ppl say about using IC Diamond compound!!!! Trust me on this.... I have a _6c drop at idle and b4 under stress I was hitting 48-50c.... now Im Hitting A top heat of 34c under stress testing and I bet If you change out your TIM on all of your HW, over all It's going to save Ya cash bro.... I paid 6 buck's for 1.5 grams of the IC Diamond and I have been a fan boy of AS5 for 2 yrs..... Not any more :slap:

dont wast your money on another rad! You have a Sweet pump and rez and as for adding another rad! :nutkick:

Dont till you try ICD! 6 Dollars VS ? hmmmm :pimp:

Yep, I agree! I did not even think I would come close to that kind of overclock at stock voltage! Hell, I had a 955 that would not even come close to that without a voltage bump! And it was a great chip :respect:

What's my target on this chip? 4.5

Can it be done? I kind of think so.............So, stay tuned and watch a meager Phenom II x2 555 turn into a x4 Phenom II run at 4.5ghz!!! I will hit that, and all TPU will be a witness :laugh:

Not weird MM... that's the way It's been for some time now! I always update the Bios and It only takes me a few Min to figure if it's a hit or a fail! FAIL FAIL!!!! :eek:
