The AMD Phenom II OC'ers Club

So is my athlon worth switching to an 960t ? I'm seriously considering it as it could potentialy be unlocked to a thuban. One's sold in my country are BE versions so even easier overclocking for me.

Yes! I've got my 960t this morning it's easy pretty to oc'ed currently running @4ghz stable until now with prime 95 until now still torturing..:rockout:
 
I was playing a hour of skyrim, and I'm idling at 33C now. I guess the TP just needed to be worked in a little?
 
That's possible, some TP's take a while to cure and set in. How long has your TP been applied as of now?

4 days, I haven't really gamed other than skyrim tonight. I guess that's all it needed...
 
Probably. But anyways , here is to your newly acquired LOWER temps. :toast: :toast:
 
my cpu is a 95W tdp so im idling at 33C too but my ambient is 27C. no CnQ

You unluck two core?
 
i dont think you can unlock without ACC.
 
shoot your mobo with a shotgun.
 
There is an option say unlock cpu when i enabled it my pc goes freeze on mobo logo. Dunno what should i do.

Up CPU voltage by a tiny bit.
 
Very nice advice. You go first!!:mad::mad::mad::mad::nutkick::nutkick:

if it werent these stupid gun laws in india that dont let the citizens own any weapon, i would have done it a long time ago. :laugh:
 
1100t...

so bought a 1100t, it is in an asus 990fx, and oc'd is 4Ghz @1.39375v 3000nb (nb voltage just below "yellow" in bios). 4.1ghz crash.

is 4Ghz at this voltage standard for this chip?.

1.3625 4Ghz, prime95 runs, but reboots (BSOD)

1.375 runs but core 5 (or worker 5) bombs out "hardware error" prime95

1.38125 runs but core 6 (or worker 6) bombs out "hardware error" prime95

1.3875 prime 95 runs for a day but crashs to the desktop... program error (has never happened to me before)

1.39375 42 hours stable.

note the bios increases the voltage under load (loadline) by approx 7/160's of a volt.(1.439)
 
With my 1090T, (its the same as an 1100T but with a slightly lower stock clock) I can run 4ghz with 1.40v. It turns out to be 1.43 I think under load. Then for 4.2 I need 1.52v, which is about 1.55 under load. So if you want to go higher, I would say that you need more CPU voltage. Just dont go over 1.5 for a 24/7 clock. And make sure your temps are good.
 
Try backing down your NB frequency- too high causes instability from what I hear

This, also less is more sometimes with these chips i wouldn't go crazy with the volts right off the bat.
3.8 is easy on that setup with +.050V to CPUNB and CPU volts LLC high or max work your way up from there so you have a starting point.

Secondly use something with linpac like OCCT it seems to detect more and quicker then prime, I think this may be due to the on die northbridge becoming unstable and linpack pushing more data through the memory controller then prime does.
 
I got my Ic diamond in the mail today :D

Old temps

New temps

I'm thinking of putting it on my GPU :3


EDIT: Full load pic :3

that's a 20c difference for full load!

Nope, Ic diamond 7!



It was only $7 too!

Nice price.

Hey, my friend is having a problem with his computer. He's getting a BSOD with an error that says "Hypertransport sync flood error." I googled it, and it seems to be fairly random and hard to diagnose. He said he got it once after an hour of skyrim, and then once just after reboot, and a couple more times under no load. Has anyone else heard of this, or fixed it?

He's got an Athlon II 635 X4 @3.1, MSI 760GM p33 mobo, EVGA 550ti, 8gigs of gskill 1333 and a rosewill 450 watt psu.

it makes me thing his htt speed is too high tell him to lower it a bit and see if that works
