Lil more progress. Topped out at 3.000ghz NB and ram is overclocking nicely. Still can't get over 3.8...but still tweaking. Scores are decent, not fantastic.

Master}{ · Mar 27, 2009

dude, check your settings tjwo, at 3700 flat i was getting 5600 cpu score, your just getting to 5035 on 3dmark06 so somethings fubar!

tjwo94 · Mar 27, 2009

Couldn't guess what it might be...hmm...lower frontside bus perhaps

Nice OC on that NB. I guess I'm going to try getting mine higher too although I can't beat that Mark06 score. SLI and CrossfireX make all the difference apparently. :respect:

Master}{ · Mar 27, 2009

maybe vista, maybe a bios misconfig, but your cpu score is way low!

I just tested earlier, and got these numbers! overall a tad lower than yourse because i only have one GPU, but look how close my 1 GTX 285 comes to whipping your Dually

SM 2.0: 7538
SM 3.0: 7936
CPU : 5724
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=10456829

at these settings: + NB was at 2800 via NB multiplier

What configs in my bios you want me to list for ya. Really not much going on to change the cpu.

Master}{ · Mar 27, 2009

see previous post of mine, you are loosing horsepower somewhere bigtime......

Find it, fix it, and probably you will hit 22-23000 on 3dmark06

I will think on it in the morning, but look around for off stuff. i have 3 beers in me and my brain downt overclock things well when its so underclocked!

tjwo94 · Mar 27, 2009

alrighty

it's not his shit, it's vista 5000~~ is expected i get a simalar score and many others in vista with a simaler cp score get the same. if i run xp and bench 3dmark i get close to 6k in 3dmark 06 cpu

tjwo94 · Mar 27, 2009

exodus is correct. Here are my benchies running on 32bit XP.

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

And we listen to the idiots on newegg now?

i believe the mobo temp gives a rough reading of over all tmps of even the Mofets....
Plus i agree with Corsair sticks.... i sold a set of killer xms 800mhz rods to buy Shitty 1066 MHz Tracers.... What a bad decision

I had 1066 Tracers and they were amazing, 1200Mhz 5-5-5-15 at 2.3v, better than the Corsair sticks I'd had before which topped out at 1100Mhz.

I always hear from CD about Tracer Red's..... what do you think?.... i found a site that sells them

Tracer Reds are great, far better than the G.Skill Black PIs I had previously, and they get great reviews the world over. They do run a bit warm though heh.

those are what i had however mine were the 2.2v version the new ones are a 2.0v version from what i have seen they clock about the same

With it getting hot lately here, I'm now running my 920 at default vcore. You really forget how much heat is generated by a small bump in voltage. At 3.5GHz I was using 1.47v for 100% stability. With the ambient temperature being 78F, my CPU was idling at 37-38C and a full 100% load of 47-48C, a 10C difference. At default voltage, at 3.2GHz 100% stable, it idles at 30-31C and a full 100% load of 39-40C with the same ambient temperature of 78F. I'll be sticking with 3.2GHz throughout the summer. 105F+ temps for months is going to suck. Gotta keep the electric bill low!

Quick question i oced using the fsb and i know it affects my memory but how can i know were they are at?
i have 8gb of 800mhz but the dominators are coming in next week

Darknova · Mar 27, 2009

Well I managed to unlock the 4th core of my 720BE, unfortunately when I boot I get Blue screens and driver errors, even at stock speeds and extra voltage. Yey.

Bluefox1115 · Mar 27, 2009

so disable the fourth core? there's a reason why it was disabled in the first place.. lol

wait.. isn't the 720 a dual core chip? lol..

Phenom's don't really have a "FSB", instead they have a HT Bus (I'm now calling it HTB). Look it up sometime, its interesting. Now to your memory question. If your memory ratio is set at 1:2 / 800MHz, you take the HTB speed and multiply it by two. So, if your HTB is 220mhz, multiply that by two and that is your running memory speed, 440Mhz. Being DDR II, you multiply that by two as well. So the rated speed is 440MHz x2 which is 880MHz DDRII.

MilkyWay · Mar 27, 2009

ma tasty new board came and i just fitted the X3 720BE so im officially a member now YEEEEH!

ill get the cpuz and pics of it soon i just need to configure drivers ect

I did, it was mainly a sarcastic remark lol.

The 720BE is a tri-core. AMD doesn't have any dual-core Phenom IIs currently.

I'm a dumbass. I meant HT, not HT Link. Doh! I edited my post so it makes sense. :rockout:

Yep, 940MHz DDRII for you! :rockout:

I thought their new X2 AM2+ chip was a Phenom II variant?

johnnyfiive · Mar 27, 2009

This is the higest I've gotten so far with my setup. I felt special seeing my memory run at 1088MHz. Especially since I have a 4x1GB setup of the cheap red GSkills.
