The AMD Phenom II OC'ers Club

[tjwo94]

Okay I set in bios manual overclock. Set the Multiplier to the stock 15 and increased the bus to 210. Windows boot. Ram is set to 1066 @ 2.14v and running at 560Mhz at the timings you gave. All other settings still default/auto. 3DMark06 run is successful @ 16073. OCCT ran fine for a few minutes, so no signs of instant instability. Testing 220 Next.

sweet your getting pretty good clocks

Nice temp overlord wish i had 12c maybe its time i get one those Xigmatek HDT-S1284EE


i have sythe ninga i idle at 30c or what ever room temps is, overlord whats load temp
if you would be so kind

My load temps max out at around 20c (stock atm), but I somehow don't think that's right. But Everest and the bios say the same thing so idk, might be a faulty temp sensor or something, or maybe this heatsink is just that good. I like to think the latter is true.

Your temps seem a little on the high side to me, how much thermal paste did you use? With my 720 I'm idling at 12C, according to Everest and the bios that is.

What is your ambient temp? I would need phase to get 12C . The ambient temp in my house is 78-80F. My idle temps with my water setup is 36-38C. My full load temps never break 49C. Phenom II 920 @ 3.5Ghz, 1.4v. I'm not so sure your temp readings are accurate. My BIOS will report my temp at 20-25C but when I go into Windows its 35-38C, etc. Not accurate.

My windows install went completely corrupt. I'll post progress when I can get the machine os back up.

Well I really don't know how warm/cold it is in my room. According to Yahoo, it says the temp outside is 56F, but I know it isn't that cold in here. I'm thinking I have a faulty temp sensor or something. I can take a picture of the temp in the bios if you want to see it.

I think my temps are about right considering im using AS5 thermal paste and I only just installed the cooler last night...it needs to set, and with my arctic cooling freezer 64 *cough*sh1te!*cough* i was idling at 51-53C at 3.5Ghz so im pretty happy to be getting at least 10C shaved off

Hmm, yeah those temps are alot better than with your other HS at that speed, but I would recommend getting some Arctic Cooling MX-2, great stuff, it doesn't need to burn in and it does a better job than AS5 from my experience.

 

[Enmity]

Yeah ive been thinking about that, ive had this tube of as5 for ages, back when it used to be the top stuff. I'll let the as5 set and see if im happy with the clocks im able to achieve. If i can't get stable at 3.8-3.9...then i'll go for the mx-2. Im pretty happy i can be 3dmark06 stable with stock volts now too. with the ac freezer i had to pump 1.42V to get stable at that speed

 

[Enmity]

how much vcore do you think id need to keep my 940 stable at 3.8? its usually about 1.45 huh? what about all the other voltages available in amd overdrive? i hear its best to keep the cpu-nb volts up close to the vcore?...any suggestions on what works best for most people with their 940's?

 

[cdawall]

i should be getting a 955BE soon

 

[Enmity]

ooooh that'd be sex on millions of transistors

 

[3dsage]

ooooh that'd be sex on millions of transistors

 

[cdawall]

ooooh that'd be sex on millions of transistors

yep my shiny source that got me 945's looks like he is coming thru again

 

[Enmity]

hmmmm....can he send one to New Zealand?

 

[tjwo94]

cdawall do you have a link that references the exact changes made to the new chip?

 

[cdawall]

i can give you them off the top of my head

X4 955
will be a RB-C3
DDR3+DDR2 (with DDR3 mem controller fix?)
AM3/AM2+
3.2ghz
TDP of 125w
vcore 1.25v?

 

[ShadowFold]

How much would one be? I still have quite a few $$$ left..

 

[cdawall]

same price the 940 entered at

 

[ShadowFold]

No kiddin? I might have enough but I might have to settle for a 720 or 945

 

[cdawall]

945 wont be a black edition.

 

[ShadowFold]

Oh.. Damn, when did they do that? I got an awesome deal on a 720 for 98$, I will just do that and save up for some DDR3 stuff..

hit me up when your ready to get ram i'll give you a deal on whatever i have left

 

[ShadowFold]

Do you have any good cas7 or cas6 stuff? I'm not looking for anything higher than 1600, don't really see the point unless you can hit decent timings at those crazy speeds.

hey guys how much vcore do you think id need to keep my 940 stable at 3.8? its usually about 1.45 huh? what about all the other voltages available in amd overdrive? i hear its best to keep the cpu-nb volts up close to the vcore?...any suggestions on what works best for most people with their 940's?
