Hmm , 9950BE + BUGET TA770 HT@5360 and 2680nb Done
Well i just started tweaking this thing and so far ive managed 3450mhzCPU/2600+mhzNB....
The TA770 RX780/SB600 mobo seems to handle this chip well...
Im working on tweaking the FSB and HT but im not shure if i can expect too much more in Speed/latency unless i lower the NB and Raise Ram more...
So for now i am just curiose if these times are good for this particular combo..Ive seen lower times on other 770' mobos but with 9850..
I hope im in the ball game of performance..I CAN PROBALLY RAISE THE fsb and lower HT for higher RAM freqency..The dominators are good for 1150mhz but so far this is the fastest i can get this puppy to run due to Ram timming and Bios i think.
Any one have a few tips for ram timing....?
This 9950 really seems to come alive with 1066 and 2400mhz+ on the NB...My Bios dosnt like 5-5-5-15 timings above 1000mhz and is the only reason im using 1066diver ATM. Running @1000mhz or lower takes a hit on latency.

Hmm once there on ,Its like full surround with Xf-i... I use them in 2.0 speaker mode not in headphone mode...They have great sound,I mean Base sounds like it thumps and Highs are crisp! Very, very , Low NR while gaming..When your crawling up on a Op You can hear the correct direction an Op/firefight is coming from no problem..Ive had $100 dollar units that i though sounded good untill i switched to KOSS...
Well besides that ,
Ill be running 3dmark06 in awhile along with Crysis and you gussed it a Crysis Bench with the 8.7beta...Best driver ive seen for me at least....I had reflashed my 3870x2 with AMD factory Bios from Visiontek(powerplaybios)...It sets the 2D and 3D mode the same....It now also heats the card up by doing so...
Even with Riva cranked too 100% ive hit 104c and had the stuppid temp overide kicks in on the Card...It didnt do it before i flashed the darn thing.I may RMA the thing but am holding out seeing im gonna reinstall 3Dmark06 and Crysis fully patched...
Ive found if i use ATi tool to raise clocks alittle higher ,say 850gpu it seems to do better .The fan will actually slow in 3Dmark06 with a slight stutter on the screen and great picture, possiable bug maybe?. Only happens @ the Canyon flight where the water dragon jumps over ya?...so hopefull ill post some Benchies with the Whole combo now that my chip is settled in:D
5300+HT done and 2680NB cant go any more...
I just like pushing things i guess...
So finally i Have Phenom over 5300+ht..Not shure if thats good ....But it does kinda support my therory about reaching High HT with X4 is more about the CPU's ability...
This same mobo could NOT run my 9600BE@ 2600mhz or even Stock with more than 2200ht...Thats with fsb260+ even up to fsb280....It just wouldnt run more HT..Although it would do 2400NB @2600mhz Cpu...
So heres 9950 @3.48ghz and 5300+:D Sb600 using Sata HD set to IDEmode

High Ht seems to enhance Performance with my Graphics ,,system load time and system response in windows feels quiker.
Oddly enuff i was able to keep the Ram settings kinda close and SuperPi is the Same between 206x17 @3.5ghz(Ht 4000 and Nb 2600) and 268 x1300 @ 3.84 with (5300+ht with 2680nb) ...they both get 22.500's 1M +/- .100..
So this is it ..thers no more left to tweak ....I have no complaints but, if i did cosindering this mobo wasnt meant for more than 9850'S..
Id say 1 more Phase Pwms with a Heatsink...But then it wouldnt of been budget mobo...The Biostar790GX will soon take over this 9950 and thus i wish it too had a Heatsink for PWMs although it has the extra phse now... Only thing they really left out is the cooling of PWMs... ill make my own anyway..
