A chip came in from Texas and a few boards from elsewhere.
First up is the Gigabyte MA790FXT-UD5P
The chip is AM3 obviously.
Max vcore at -100c?
I plan to go straight up with multi to find max speed then tune from there.
Links for best OC tool to download?
I plan to test and tune on the 3 stage and then if all goes well, switch to LN2. I have 180L at the office now.

Lucky :)
K10STAT does a pretty good job for the simple stuff and is lightweight+easy. AOD3 is more powerful, but your mileage will vary based on how well its hooks are implemented by the BIOS.
I too have this es chip+board.Quote:

It helped me greatly.
After that, tune the multi+voltage.
Fugger 1.80v - 1.90v Maybe + depends on the chip........
K10 stat, avoid the rest......
any other info PM me.....
At -100 most chips won't scale over 1.7-1.8 V. 1.8-1.9 should only be needed under LN2.
Yah oops forgot going under cascade first. 1.7v is the happy zone for DI so go from there.Quote:

Getting setup
Damnit. My eyes aren't working properly.
I see an AMD rig, but I see Fugger's Avatar. Anyone else having this problem? :(
:p: G/L m8. Hope you reach the magic 6.5 :D

But Charles, I thought the triple stage could max out any chip? ;)
Gautam, i7 chip. AM3 scales with temp and with this low of temp it does not scale as far, just a FYI...
Fugger your bringing tears to my eyes, nice to see you playing with AMD and if my car gets snowed in tommorow in spring/almost summer I know why :D
I'm tired of your excuses.Quote:

Fugger, sure you're in the right section now?:shrug:
Good to see you in the AMD section man, expecting extraordinary results :p:
You could try out AMD OverDrive it's a half-decent tool, but it's absolutely worth it.
Ended up with a max all cores speed of 5Ghz, super pi locked to a single thread speed of 5.2Ghz scores 14s flat with spd timing
The Corsair 1866C7 running 1800Mhz cas 6, I am still setup but taking a break.
nice FUGGER :D
Darn it I want a Cascade :D Nice work Fugger
Fugger and Movieman with AMD chips...I'm having a heart attack over here, darnit guys I'm only 22.... *faints*
