The AMD Phenom II OC'ers Club

I'm considering getting the 955, actually I do want to get it soon as I can get my hands on it. But I have to get some better ram. My board hates what I have now. Hey cdawall, you have a suggestion what I should get or have some nice stuff to sell? Might as well unload what I have and get new shit now that I have the water cooling to support the overclock.

Join the rebellion! 955 and a ASUS Crosshair II are my picks.

I am in talks with AMD to come back to the light side. I want to hit some magic numbers on the new AM3 system.

I'm looking at the new 790FX MSi DDR3 AM3 board myself

The GD70? with 4 PCI-E slots? That looks like a nice board I must say.

DaMulta · Mar 27, 2009

Yes that board

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130223

I think it would OC like a CHAMP

I'm SOOOOO ready to say FUCK YOU INTEL/NVIDIA

NO MORE PALiT bring on the AMD/ATi MIX

I need a new sig that says FUCKYOU INTEL/NVIDIA lol but not the FUCK YOU in those words LOL

crazyeyesreaper · Mar 27, 2009

well ive got good news for some reason after doing the same thing that was causing my machine to crash last time it proved stable this time around so i wont be looking a gift horse in the mouth thats for sure.

Wow lol The MSI board I have now is ok. I don't think it's good for people with extreme cooling setups since it only goes up to 1.575v(even found a stable clock for it lol) Not sure how similar the 790FX variants are but I would grab an ASUS M4A79T..

i'll look thru my stash for something that this mobo likes but so far its good with anything sammy based and crucial reds sang on it i ran 1260 easily 24/7

tjwo94 · Mar 27, 2009

Sammy Based? About the crucial reds, are you referring to the ddr2800 pc2800? They have some pretty shoddy reviews on newegg.

Are you serious about the 1.575V? , that is weak man :mad:

DaMulta · Mar 27, 2009

not on the FX that's way to low for the FX

Yeah I hope its not the GD70, maybe he was refering to the GX version.

DV8tion · Mar 27, 2009

The M4A79 let's you crank it up to 1.90V I think :toast:

not that I am saying that's a good idea without LN2 or LHe. :ohwell:

Chicken Patty · Mar 27, 2009

right now im priming at 1.36v 3.5 GHz, hopefully that goes well.

Not sure who it was, but someone told me to set the stepping to P3 for my rig. Well I did and it did help. I was having stability issues with these settings before, that seemed to have fixed it.

Assassin48 · Mar 27, 2009

Does anyone have a 940 with a 4870x2 ?
If so can you do a 3dmark06 and vantage run @ 3.76 w/ gpu 787/985

I think my 4870x2 runs too low i have it @ 787/985
and my 3dmark06 is at 20287

hmm orthos only spawns 2 threads anyway to increase that or do i need to run 2 instances of orthos at the same time to full stress my cpu?

also in my asrock 790gx bios i have an option for L3 cache to use BSP all cores and something else whats does that mean?

I use Prime95 64 bit version and run it with 4 threads. Guaranteed to turn your PC into a toaster and crash it if it's the least bit unstably overclocked. Don't do Asrock. :shadedshu

I read a 3-way motherboard shootout with that MSI board and it won. The article said that after some small BIOS issues are ironed out it will be just about perfect. Seriously thinking about getting one myself in the months ahead.

Good way to fry your mobo mate! try Something differnt.... trust me.... Can ya say Mofets cooked :eek:

Flyordie · Mar 27, 2009

lol...
The most recent BIOS on the DFI 790GX-M2RS (before it stopped turning on...) gave me a +1250mv (+1.25V from the default 1.35V)

I hear you dude! Blue screen all the way! I have recently put a Thermalright HS on my Fet's so I'm not too worried about it.

nice bro, do you have a pic so we can see? i think my Fet's stock cooler isn't flat against them.... i have the M3a32-mvp cooler on it but think the top of the copper hs isn't making full contact.... the low pitched whistle noise seems to go away shortly after turning up the rear case 120mm fan RPM'S :pimp:

I've had two MSI mobo's in the past and the Athlon XP one was so crappy I should have RMA'd it. Real piece of junk! The other board was socket 939 NV chipset and it was fine running stock but try to OC it. Not! However, after reading that review and seeing that it's the best looking board I've probably ever seen and I'm having second thoughts about it. Good luck and tell us what you think about it when it's up and running. :rockout:
