I would make you leader if I could :ohwell:

we need a leadercard update!

I agree...ive had mine @3812mhz witch should be high enough to get on the top 5

ShadowFold · Feb 26, 2009

Oh, just repost those.. I gotta go in 10 mins I wanna get a few things done before I go!

Dude, don't give me any ideas... once my best friend and I hit a deer while driving down the road, we drove back to my house and got an ax, cut the head off of the deer and then took it back to his house and gave it to his mom as a gift.

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

It doesn't really make that big of a difference in day to day use, but it does make a difference if you transfer a lot of large files between drives. Photoshop seems to like a RAID setup as well.

But, if you have to buy a controller card to do it, I suggest against it. The only controller cards worth it are over $100. For that price, I'd just go ahead and buy a 1TB F1 instead. Faster than the 320GB 7200.11's, and a hell of a lot more storage. lol.

As far as your cpu, use OCCT on the Linpack setting to test temps. Toast isn't doing it's job properly if you are only getting to 43C at that Vcore. You should be in the 50's at least.

Ok...getting OCCT right now and I will run it tonight and see what happens...

Where do you find out what batch your PII is?

Super XP · Feb 26, 2009

On the CPU itself. You may also find out what batch by using AMD's version of CPUID's I think.

NB FOR sure increases performance. I'm not too familiar with how HT effects performance though. I usually try and keep it around 2000 if I'm going for a suicide run for stability purposes.

for a fact NB increases performance by a lot, HT I never saw much on my 9850 or 9950. HT i never saw an increase really, NB however was a world of a difference. I dont know how the Phenom IIs react to HT however.

No bs install, no bs oc. Straight up raised multi to 18 for 3.6ghz right now on 1.5v. When i go home ill play with it some more. Right now im on air cooling so dont ask my temps lol.
I AMD

Welcome back PP, congrats!

need to get some more outta the ram

hopefully they do 1150 4-4-4-12

good start

PP Mguire · Feb 26, 2009

Highest i can go right now stable is 3.8ghz due to my cooler. TRUE 120 Black with Noctua fans will be on the way next week.

No Phenom is going to react significantly to HT OCing. The bandwidth is already more than the Phenom can use. You have to get into multi socket boards for it to make any credible difference. I bet anything over 1500MHz is moot.

so I take you are on the factory heatsink? What are your temps like?

Makes a lot of sense, AMD is amazing in multi socket configurations :toast:

Well, intermittent/random BSODs are ticking me off...
lol, dropped the RAM voltage to 2.2V and dropped timings to 5-5-5-14-18-1T to see if that was the issue... no go...
Next up on the chopping block is bringing the voltage on the PII to 1.425V (its at 1.4V right now)... its 1hr AoD stable... so im running out of options.
--
here are my voltages
CPU Voltage- 1.400V
NB Voltage- 1.30V
HT Voltage- 1.25V (stock as its running 2Ghz right now)
SB PLL voltage- 1.25V
DRAM Voltage- 2.2V

Bring your ram off of 1T. Almost no DDR2 will happily run at 1T.

Happy to hear you have my old PII up and running. She will run 3.8 on 1.5v with a bit of tweaking.

Its Micron D9GMH... figured it would handle 1T @ 4-4-4-14-24 @ 2.3V... passes MemTest 24hrs at that speed and since its rated at 4-4-4-12-14 2T @ 2.1V.

Also... I can't seem to get the board to release it from 1T... I told to BIOS to force it on 2T but no go... ;-\

OzzmanFloyd120 · Feb 26, 2009

DDR2 just doesn't like to run at 1T, that' really all there is to it.
But if you like to run it there we're nobody to stop you.

I kno... just find it awkward that is passes memtest but still causes the BSODs.

Run memtest now. Using 2.3V might have degraded them.

Im on my Zalman like in the sys specs

At 3.8 1.5v im peaking 68c load.

I has her at 3.8. Going for further when i get my new cooling setup.

I ran it yesterday at-
4-4-4-20-25-1T @ 2.3V and passed. (I was on my desktop downstairs most of the time yesterday).
Ran it for 12 hrs and it passed w/ no errors.

@ PP- 68C Load... WTF?!!
I have mine at 1.4V @ 3.5Ghz and on the stock cooler and have yet to pass 55C under load. sheesh.

PP Mguire · Feb 26, 2009

Your still in the safe zone thats why. Btw, thats individual core temp. Not cpu reading.

cool, temps are a bit on the hot side already. Let me ask you, would you be intrested in selling the mounting hardware of the Zalman or have a spare laying around. I got me a Zalman cooler, but no mounting hardware.
