On my Biostar mobo I have the Hyper Transport set to my CPU's default speed of 2 GHz but CPU-z shows it at 1600 like yours. Do you know why cdawall?

 

[cdawall]

AM2 only supports 1.6ghz put it in a AM3 board and it will run at 2ghz

4ghz update

 

[Flyordie]

Ratchet them timings down!!!
If I can do DDR2-833 @ 4-4-4-1T then surely you can to.

I hadn't heard that, thanks! Is that the actual vcore on that overclock? Amazingly low for that speed if it is.

cdawall tends to bring out the awesomeness in his overclocks. I wish I could do the same with my 920.
What NB voltage are you using for your 2,400+ NB frequencies cdawall?

just pushed the ram to 2.4v its not doing CL4 oh well its a cheap 2x2GB kit not much to be expected. i will try with some D9DCD's later just toying with the idea of 3vdimm+phenom2

honestly i dont know mobo sets it at some amount over the cpu voltage. around 1.6v if its doing what the BIOS reads




oh and as soon as that front page is fixed i have 3 of the top spots

So its doing it automatically? What about your vcore, is that what it is actually using, 1.375v for 4.0GHz?

 

[cdawall]

no its 1.56v

 

[johnnyfiive]

Ah I see. I need a new motherboard to push my 920 further. Do you have any suggestions for me cd? I'm stuck at 3.5 being my max 100% stable. Here is a screenshot of my current setup:http://www.techpowerup.com/gallery/2017/__10.jpg
I'm on water now so pushing the vcore to the 1.55 range is definitely an option.

 

[cdawall]

3.5 isn't bad adn that old school K9A2 was my 1st AM2+ mobo as well its not a chicken mobo push some volts

 

[Neo4]

Is there a way to find out what week your CPU was made without physically looking at the heat spreader?

Any little tricks you know of about the k9a2? Other than having no NB multi it seems to be a decent board. I want a 3.8 benchmark run

That is the highest it's ever booted. Won't bench though.

Doh! Someone forgot to write it down.

take out two dimms

 

[cdawall]

woot another 4.2ghz

[cdawall]

the ram will do 800 CL3 and 1066 CL4 but takes more volts than the cpu's mem controller can handle

 

[Flyordie]

Im doing 4-4-4-1T @ 2.3V. Is that safe?
Also, the date code on my Phenom II is 0849. (2nd Week of December, bought mine on Jan 18th) lolz.

 

[cdawall]

your XMS2 has promos and i ran mine at that voltage for a very very long time.


mines @2.55v so

My XMS2 revision = 1.3

wait those are D9's lol 2.3v is a little much for them but hey whatever works


here is a tease for what is to come

superpi with the cpu@4.1ghz/ram@1066 4-4-4-12 coming up

 

[Flyordie]

Yeah, D9GMH to be exact.

Wow, you should soo change your CPU in your system specs to Opteron 1300 Black Edition, that is awesome. Which mobo are you using that is picking it up as that?

Nice OC btw

all of them pick it up as that but i'm on a crosshair II formula

 

[jbunch07]

SO what cpu is that 945ES?

 

[ShadowFold]

I thought the 950ES's read out as opteron 1300's....
