The AMD Phenom II OC'ers Club

[TheMailMan78]

Should be able to get 4Ghz @ ~ 1.4v. Nice clock btw CPU-NB frequency should be at 2.6 if you haven't checked that yet.

Whats funny is thats the boards auto clock profile. Its stable without me even touching a thing. I love this board. If I start upping the volts I could go sky high I bet.

 

[JrRacinFan]

Most of the 1090t's top out at 4.2Ghz on air. Just being due to temp related.

Don't know why but if it validates - the better. Here's CPU-Z version 1.58 validation:

CPU-Z v.1.58

Guess it decided to work this time, or the database been updated? lol

*UPDATE*

Why do i see now that it's not validated? Cause of CPU's temp? That's f***ed up.

the result was rejeted due to the OC beeing highly instable

What stable 24/7 oc do you think I could get in a PII 925?

 

[Velvet Wafer]

What stable 24/7 oc do you think I could get in a PII 925?

depends on how lucky you are,how good your board is and how able you are at tweaking

 

[Sir B. Fannybottom]

well, the last board I OCed was a NFS-7.. lol I still have it! It's currently clocked at 3.2 ghz (athlon XP) Soo I'm a bit out of date lol, do you think I could get a stable 3.2ghz clock with a hyper tx3

In 3DMarks (both Vantage & 11) in CPU tests it's ace though; same goes for LynX & SuperPi. What gives? Runs everything like charm, but you should have read my prev post where i said that the room temp is way above 25 degrees C & my AS5 is dying on me. I need that Indigo Extreme & some serious room cooling; maybe some air conditioner that'll lower the room temps by alot. Or maybe it's time to upgrade? AMD FX-8130P is not here though. F***, i need that AMD's modulated octo-core. BTW: Crosshair V Formula is in Israel. Costs 1000+ sheckels or 250+ USD. Corsair AX1200W sells in PC store near me too.

VERY good for an x3 720. Nice to see you got a good chip oh also YGPM catnip.

cant seem to get it to unlock (cpu in my main rig atm)
cant get 4.0 to stick will work at it again tomorrow.

 

[mastrdrver]

Only certain P2 X3s unlock.

any way to OC so that i can use my PC2 dual channel 4GB DDR2 1066 in dual channel?

please elaborate further... whats the problem if you use them?

 

[de.das.dude]

wont post. :x
tried different timings as well.

i know i cant put it in 1066 dual channel by stock, its not specified by asus.
BUT apparently if i have 4 of these i can use all four slots.
i no understandz

 

[Velvet Wafer]

its not specified by asus.

then your board probably is incapable of doing 1066.... you need a new board, and are out of luck, is my guess..

no its possible to do 1066. there some overclocking. but of what i wanna know.

i can use 4 1066 sticks. but not 2 in dual channel
single channel works like a charm.

do you have an option to change from single to dual channel in bios?
4 sticks in row is dual channel, normally always, as far as i know... never encountered a board that did single channel with all banks filled...
if it does change automatically, well, then i guess the board has problems with dual channel, and you can only do single channel
(you can try to change the memory mode from unganged to ganged tho, some boards like that better, and can do more with it... just an idea)

You sound as if you have the same problem as me I to had this issue whilst running 4x 1GB Dimms @ 1066 it seems you need to increase the NB/IMC voltage from the stock 1.2V to 1.4V this will help with stability. Also you need to set up the timings manually and the ram voltage aswell otherwise your mobo will try running it at at stock volts of 1.8~1.9V which is not enough usually you'll need around 2.10V~2.20V for DDR2-1066MHz

no. the funny thing is. they do set their timings and voltage pretty well. i only need to select 533mhz as its and EPP and not stock.
but wont 1.4V fry the NB LOL? my chipset is already hot enough for a small burn LOL. BTW YOUR MOBO COOLING IS AWESOME!


@Velvet, i dont think so. let me check. actually there might be one

EDIT: there aint any. the thing is. it cant do dual channel with empty slots in the channels. :/ funny.

 

[erocker]

they do set their timings and voltage pretty well.

Who does? It depends on the motherboard. Some motherboards don't have an AUTO function in the bios.

your talkin the wrong NB de das you need to think CPU's NB not the one stuck on the mobo and no 1.4V wont burn it and set the damn timings manually DO NOT RELY on auto to set them correctly

2de.das.dude:

If it'll help: the only things that needs to be changed in my PC are as follow (pretty soon, probably by end of August):

Mobo: Crosshair V Formula or Sabertooth 990FX (both have AI Suite II & most important TurboV EVO);
HDD/External USB 2.0/3.0 HDD: either WD VelociRaptor 600GB or any SSD with more than 300GB space & MyPassport 500GB (for storage of pics, web-docs, etc...);
PSU: Corsair AX1200W.

Other things, probably M$'s LiveCam HD (Skype) & (when out) Nvidia's Kepler (learnt that it pushed to Q1 2012, obviously cause of transfer to 28nm microprocess).

Do your math, if the DDR2 worth the OC now in humid summer days (& cause of 12.12.2012 comes, lol jk), play with CPU-NB frequency & voltages, RAM voltages/timings, CPU VDDA, etc... & say if DDR2 is or isn't the blocking factor; favor the use of dual-channel DDR3 1333/1600MHz seeing the FX-8xxx CPUs are coming Q3 2011 (unless something f***s-up with rev.B2/C0 as well, which will be really bad), play with any CPU tweaking in BIOS, you name it - just play. My settings/tweaks:

CPU freq=200MHz;
CPU ratio (multi)=20.0x;
CPU voltage=1.4500v;
CPU/NB freq=2400MHz;
HT freq=2000MHz;
RAM freq/timings=1333MHz/7-7-7-20-1T;
CPU/NB voltage=1.25v;
VDDA voltage=2.7000v;
RAM voltage=1.66v;
NB voltage=1.26v;
HT voltage=1.20v;
nf200 voltage=Auto.


Play with your RAM timings/freq/voltages (according to the specs listed in RAM's website) & CPU/NB frequency & voltage as well as with CPU VDDA for now & say if it helped to solve the issues.

Ohhhhh...
wel i did set the VDDNB to 1.4V and it DID post, but when booting Win said there is a critical driver error. This ofcourse disappeared as soon as i went to single channel setup and normal voltages.

i always set timings manually.

it dual channels pretty well at 800MHz
