EDIT: He He with 201MHz ref HT and above settings i get the freeze using sandra memory latency test again. At least it's an issue occuring soon. My 9600BE showed his weak face always after 3hrs prime95 that was abit time consuming to sort out.
No nu post so i'll continue. Turned out that the nb requires alot more volts to for stability if the cpu is running at 2.9 instead of 2.8GHz.
Had this stable:
CPU 2.8GHz 1.3125V
NB 2.2GHz 1.275V
MEM 533 5-5-5-15-18 2V
Now at 2.9GHz i have to use this to atleast avoid the freezes
CPU 2.9GHz 1.425V
NB 2.2GHz 1.325V
MEM 533 5-5-5-15-18 2V
I got my 9850 BE today. I'm going to test it on saturday. It's JAAFB AA 0809GPMW.
Somebody should open a "Post your Phenom revision B3 OC and stepping" topic. :D
Thinking of back stitching the thread and making a Phenom / DFI 790FX-M2R - M2RS Overclocking / Stepping and Recommended Ram Database that boots at 1066 with Phenom Both 2X2GB 2X1GB Kits ;)Quote:

Dang.
I have the dreaded C1 error.
I tried quick a CMOS reset. No luck.
I've tried different memory. (I've a few cheapo DDR2 sticks around.) No success.
I'm now trying the long clear with the battery out type of CMOS reset. We'll see what happens.
NOTE: THis happened when I ran the sandra tool that goes in and finds suggestions and tweaks... it rebooted and then the C1 came up... and that is "the end". I had just paid for Everest to help out testing and benchmarking... and was considering Sandra. (But based on this... I guess I'll save my money. I know... it's a DFI problem... but nothing in Sandra should have done this.)
Darn it.
Brother Esau you seem to have a lot of experience. Could running something have somehow messed up the flash?
(I was on the 3/7/2008 official release. I almost flashed the 3/31/2008 beta... but I wanted to go for stability first.)
So should I RMA or get ahold of another flash chip and get it flashed? How much do those cost anyway? (If this is the problem then apparently it wouldn't be a bad idea to have an extra chip on hand.) How much is a flash unit to actually flash them? (Looks like about $40.00 or so for a burner... what's a chip cost? $10.00 or so? Perhaps I'll buy a couple of them and a programmer. What chip does it use?)
I like that idea man... that way i wont feel like my M2RS is the the ugly stepchild of the M2R when im in this thread =P. im getting my 9850 tomorrow as well, woot!Quote:

I hate it... but if it IS the flash.. I'd rather buy a new chip or two and have backups. (Looks like the going average price for these on the net is about $20.00 or $30.00.)
I might even buy a EPROM programmer if the cheap $40.00 ones will do these chips. It looks the chip blanks are about $3.00 or so. I'd MUCH rather do that than deal with ANY type of RMA to Newegg OR DFI. (Unless I could call DFI and get them to send me one. Sadly I suspect that they'd rather I go through the entire RMA process with newegg... even though I doubt there is anything wrong with the motherboard, ram or CPU.)
FRUSTRATION. :-P
Guess I should have flashed that 3/31/08 beta bios... maybe this might not have happened.
I am rapidly wishing I had picked another brand. I got this because it had the best onboard sound and I liked the transpiper. But having something that WORKS would be better than anything else. And of course Newegg won't refund these. So I guess I just bought a lemon. Now I'll go buy something that will work and write off the $250.00
How about putting your X2 back in?
Might be worth a try.
Calm down man and relax OK? If you get a C1 Error Please unplug the PSU for a couple of minutes and move the Jumper to clear position and after a couple of minutes reverse the process. Please wait at least 4o seconds after the PSU is plugged back in to power up.Quote:

The Bios Chip thing....Don't have any chips right now have to put a order in for a 100 or so for Intel/AMD 8mb Flash chips just have been pre occupide with my cat getting deathly ill and almost dying and all that nightmare past couple of weeks. But if you need the chip Flashed and you cannot recover from C1 Error I'll throw it on my programmer for you and you can owe me a favor and do some beta testing for bios after you get situated with the board and all ..........Trust me no other experience comes close in the Overclocking world compared to the DFI Experience:up:
There have been issues with Speed Fan killing Boards and cpu's probably more like corrupting the c'mos (that will do it) but yes there have been strange reports like that since the 790 came out and its not just DFI boards either!Quote:

I read about the speedfan etc. That is why I'm pretty sure what happened seems like a bios problem.
(I was running at stock CPU and memory speeds... no overvoltage except 2.1V on memory which is the memories spec.)
Ah bulk chips... don't really want that many. Didn't think about that. Darn it. It was an idea. And I'll do you a favor now: Go buy one of these:
http://http://www.hagen.com/usa/cats..._fountain.html It is the greatest thing since sliced bread for cat owners.
I came about seconds from pulling the trigger on a $60.00 cheap AM2+ board. If I order NOW I can have it friday and then have somethign working this weekend... no matter what happens with the DFI. (Which I still want... I just want it in "operational" condition darn it.)
NO JOY on the waiting over a minute after re-attaching power before turning it on. (I turned the PS on... then waited a minute... then hit the power button. So the motherboard had that minute of power to do it's thing.
SO QUESTION: Do you agree this sounds like the bios? (I'm concerned about either getting a new bios chip or deciding to start the RMA process. Which I don't really want to do. And also I worry about the memory and CPU... I feel better knowing this has happened before.) BTW: If you send me a new bios chip... I'll contribute to the cause and pay for half your next batch. EDIT: Oh I see you wrote $75.00 just for shipping... I thought that was the price for the batch. <gulp> So perhaps not half the batch...

DFI should put an extra BIOS chip (or 2) into the box. For the price these boards go for... it would be courteous.
You don't have to do that man and I hardly think you want to pay for half of my order for a Bios Chip:D
Well I can tell you this Keith for me it always regardless of what DFI Board I get its twice the charm first one of my P35 and 790FX-M2R had to be replaced and my Expert board before that:rolleyes: Don't know why strange luck I suppose but this is my second board and have not had a moments trouble with it outside of Bios corruption which is common for the amount I flash and DFI is really slacking on the Bios on this board but then again if it wern't for me pimping this thing the way I have it probably would not have gone anywhere on this forum at all with the general concensus being Intel frame of mind and all...so....Kudos to Me:p: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :D
Hard call man could very well be the Bios Chip maybe not though.
What you can do is start the RMA process and ship you're Bios Chip out to me and I'll program it and even test it on my board for you and I'll ship it right back out your way in Fruit Cake Coffin Ville:rofl: Worst case scenario is that it is the Board but it very well could be the chip too! Let me know what you want to do? I have a running offer on this thread for those that sign up with me through PM For Beta Testing in the even anything fgoes wrong while Beta Testing I will re-program their chip Free of Charge....Hows that you gonna get that with ASUS?

And in the future... let me know if you get a new batch of chips.. I'd definitely send you some cash for an "emergency replacement" chip if I could have one on hand. (Just in case this happens again. Which it seems fairly common. I'm just glad I had extra ram to test.) With an emergency chip around I'll flash anything that comes along as soon as I see it.
BTW: QUESTION: If you didn't have the EPROM programmer... and the ability to fix your own bios... how many times would you have been "Dead in the water" even with the motherboard that has not given you any problems?? (i.e., you may have had MANY situations that would have really messed with us mere mortals.)
Double posting. (Yeah I know.)Quote:

(But don't try to mention this... you'll get eaten alive.)
OH and BTW: I'm glad I had this working with the 9850 and the memory last night and today until the crash. So I know that things are probably fine with the RAM and the CPU. Plus I had fun doing a few benchmarks. That should help me in my long wait for the new board. Darn it. You pay $40.00 to get something shipped overnight, but they don't deliver it on monday, and then this happens. What did I do with my screamy guy picture??? <runs off to go look for it>
The DFI P35 was some of the best Bios I swear ...just pure works of art all of them. The 790 Bios suck when comparing the 2 Bios for P35 & 790FX you would swear that they are drunk when coding them for this board when making that comparison :rolleyes:
DFI probably thought AMD was dead in the water (can you blame them?) But I guarantee now that things are turning around with B3 Stepping and everything else positive ion the way from AMD thats not going to be the case with the future Bios at all.
You also have to figure that I am going out of my way looking for failure on the Bios level so I can save others the anguish of finding out the hard way.
Its been a very shaky road since AMD came back to bat and its really been strictly for those wishing to debug the current associated problems with the new architecture or die hard AMD fans.........All in time Sky Walker all in time!
Just think of it like this most of whats going on is not DFI's fault its primarily a source code issue attributed to AMD / AWARD and DFI and other Board Makers are doing their best to run interference with the current situation which aint easy at all and make something good out of something not so good or in infant stages to be more accurate.
Generally People even me don't have a issue with Flashing Bios or Bad Flashes with DFI unless you opt to use WINFLASH and then you are just begging for problems and not using your head so is it a common thing with DFI ? NO!!!!!
Do you get Bad Flashes for no reason ? Yes :banana::banana::banana::banana: happens!!! And theres nothing you can do about it!:up:
P.S............Its People like us or is us....lol....that have helped make Phenom B2 "LOSER" go to Phenom B3 "WINNER"!

Update............. OCZ2RPR10664GK 4GB PC2-8500 (DDR2-1066) is a Winner and Boots NO Issues whatsoever @1066 Divider:up:
Have them Priming Blend Test right now at 1.83vdimm @1066 Divider past 1 1/2hrs
I have 8gb G.Skill F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ and it boots fine with the 1066 divider and the 9850 but i remember when i tried it with my 9500 it didn't boot.
Camp - maybe not too good an idea although a kind thought :D
We all mainly have the same stepping 9850 so far, as you saw with 9500/9600, stepping does not matter with Phenoms. It may be enough to state this somewhere in the beginning. I have 3 of the same week and batch tested before, all different as I stated then. Mine and Tony's 9850 is the same ATM but look at his and look at mine. There's no trend to note :(
BTW can you please try Memtest at that RAM setting, P95 on RAM really doesn't show much instability, it will miss a lot of it while RAM is still unstable and thus will start degrading. You can't access a lot of RAM through it either.
keithlm, that's the same error you get with Phenom across many boards. It won't start-up just like that, it may not start up for days like this no matter which setup you try. Leave it on for a while and let it keep restarting itself, it usually boots up once this way. Do you have an X2 to try? It's not just DFI BIOS etc, its on all boards, they all have this error to some extent and its the BIOS+Phenom to blame AFAI being told.
Switch PSU off, reseat everything incl. CPU/GPU if you can, startup, with one MEM out, remove your GPU too, try booting - if it boots without restarting, put back the other MEM and restart it [don't switch it off through the PSU, unless you can't avoid it]. Again, it's not a dead CPU/MB thing, it's just a major bug since the beginning and looks like something is dead. Even flashing a new BIOS won't help [it actually happens at this time most], it's the board+BIOS interaction, something is going seriously wrong.
Great to hear. I'll revise my build plans to include this kit.Quote:

If I boot it up it beeps and the green lights on the keyboard (ps/2 right now) flash on then off... it flashes something like P0 on the POST display then it goes to the C1 and that is it. Nothing else happens.... it just sits there displaying "C1" and stops. It does not restart itself.Quote:

(This has happened in the past with speedfan from what I understand so it's not unknown.)
I have an X2 but it is missing a pin. (939)
Actually most people interested in that are more inclined to NOT overclock. They use the Cool and Quiet to let it UNDERCLOCK.Quote:

i think memtest is not a very good stability test either... i'd prefer goldmemory, the thorough test is indeed relatively trustworthy.. but its not free..
in the comparison memtest<->prime i think prime blend a lot of hours is much more predictive..
I've got a 4 knob fan speed controller I use for all my fans.
(3 case fans, Video card fan, and CPU fan.
I used to attach the CPU fan to the motherboard on my old motherboard... but with this one the speed never ramped down so I unhooked it and put it onto my controller.
Do you think it might be that the motherboard needs that fan attached?? and/or maybe also a NB fan?
I seem to remember a motherboard from a long time ago that would have FITS if you didn't attach fans.
What do you think?
EDIT: No luck doing that. <sigh>
Keith, problems this soon on.....not good and RMA it!
Yeah... I will. I just have to torture myself. :-)Quote:

Which MemTest ......Boot or Windows Memtest?
Oese; hardware MFGS including the largest software ISVs like Microsoft run and advise to run it, it certainly is formality in most places because of its proven consistency and reliability. Trust me, P95 or any in-windows tester doesn't come close for RAM error checking, many times repeatedly, it has been found that software stability has failed Memtest/Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool stability. For CPU, yep, P95 is very good, not for RAM though. RightMark Memory Stability Tester and Memtest HCI are better for RAM checking than Blend, but it depends how you run them - load as much RAM as possible, don't play around with something else in the background or your results may be skewed. The tool you mention is also good but Memtest is a proven tool by RAM MFG reps. Check the coding and instruction of both P95 Blend vs Memtest, one is a general rough approximation and one a streamlined specific memory tester using various patterns and high RAM stresses. Run P95-B using plus 2.4 vDIMM on 667/800/1066 D9s and you'll still very likely be fine. Run Memtest with that and you'll very likely kill the RAM. Also, there are many new versions of Memtest, don't know which one you tested to compare to P95-B.
Then it's probably something different to what the major problem with Phenoms around is when you get C1 - it usually should restart by cutting power off before POST.Quote:

It doesn't sound like that problem though.
Yes you can clock each core separately with Phenom/AOD, people did it a while ago including underclocking. ;)
speaking about memtest i meant that memtest that was implemented into DFI biosses in some Lanparty UT Boards which is also available separately...
They are not on the EGG I actually had to get my set from Zip Zoom Fly;)Quote:

NOTE: I Contacted DFI:
They didn't specificaly say: but it seems that it is possible that Sandra corrupted the bios. The technician said:(Although he doesn't say if a corrpupted bios is part of "problems" you might have. Besides... they really need to just fix that. If Sandra and Speedfan can cause a corrupt bios.. something is AWRY.)Quote:
"And if you are going to run old non-updated for 790FX chipset programs, you need to disable monitoring or checking of SMBUS or you will have problems. Sandra has been notorious for that for 7 or 8 years now and one reason I moved completely away from Miss Sandra."

Keith...I have already offered you my help.
When I first got my P35 it was the same thing worked out of the box on desktop downloaded latest Bios 11/22/07 flashed Bios 12 minutes later C1 and dead as disco.
I would not necessarily blame the Bios Flash as said it may be that it may not be that. Just sed it back to newegg and get another one
Glad to hear your cat did it. How old was he 20 years, that's turtle like age for a cat. :)
My last cat did not get back from hospital few years ago. Due to breeding her inner organs had defects from the beginning.
Any feedback from fugger? I think that market place section here is visible after few hunderd posts only, whould be a good place for your offerings.
@keith: My 9500 died on day one in the Sapphire version of M2R. I assume it was a simmilar issue I used everest and speedfan and everest always froze my machine. Tried the cpu in different boards no post and c1 on dfi. Will wait for a while till i try rma i may get an 9550 once they stopped the 9500's.
That's scary. It hosed the processor eh?Quote:

This process will take a few days longer... but if it works then I'll have saved a few weeks. If it doesn't work then I'll be prepared to RMA and I'll have only lost a few days.

FYI, these are $20 cheaper at ZipZoomFly.com than the G.SKILL kit is at Neweeg.com: http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Produc...tCode=10008035Quote:

Guys what are your Temps like with the Phenom 9850 BE @2500mhz with vcore scaled down to 1.2500 set in PWM?
I there a bug with Temps on these new revisions?

Anyway... the new bios is coming from DFI. ($10.00) That will be handy... makes me MUCH more likely to play with beta bios... if the C1 problem doesn't happen again.
HOWEVER: I gave up and gave in to common sense and the advice that Brother Esau was giving me... I RMA'd the board back to Newegg.
INTERESTING NOTE: Didn't realize that when you RMA with Newegg... they will ship the new one back to you using the same method you had orginally paid for shipping. I.e., I paid for overnight... so when they ship the RMA it will be overnight. Of course me sending it back goes regular UPS... dang it. (They wanted $100.00 for overnight from me to them. DANG.)
So now I'm just hoping it is NOT the CPU. That would be the pits. (But since this error is fairly common with the MB I have hope. After all my hopes for the memory worked out okay. Kind of.)
Thanks for all the help. In the meanwhile... I'll just suffer with my old ancient 4800+ dual core. <sniffle>
Now it's time to give in to the BEER side... lots of beer, some friends, and a bunch of karaoke.

Had to drop the Tuniq Tower back into my case that crap stock cooler was running 13c hotter at idle and 20c hotter at load.
I have my CPU Vcore down to 1.23v @ 2500mhz will test that and see whats up First never believed much in throwing Juice of the bat into processors and like to find the lowest Vcore it will run at and condition it and train it like the HO it is!:D
boxed cooler never is a good decision..
and really i LOVE that 6400+ BE chip.. not only much FASTER at lower vcore, but reasonably undervoltable in idle mode :eek:
i think i'll buy some corsair dhx from a german forummember to push it beyond 3,6ghz :D and get some really nice 3dm and pi-numbers.. at the moment it does the 1m pi in 24,3s.. and thats not at all bad :D :D :D 3dm06 right now is at 13.3k without oc on the cards and i want to get 14k with that chip running > 3,6ghz :D :D :D don't say thats not possible :D
not to spoil your glee, but at 3,6 you should do about 22,** in sp1 with proper ram freqs
PHENOM IS GO!! :D
well, i got back to my dorm and i unwrapped my bundle of joy. lol. i immediately lapped my phenom after seeing the crappy high corners (see pic in other thread )
before lapping

finish... :)
http://media5.dropshots.com/photos/1...1/b_030908.jpg
now, on to testing it out on the M2RS =P
i experienced no problems at all putting this phenom in the M2RS board and overclocking... it worked the first time... all i had to do was reset the CMOS before installing. it immediately booted to 2500mhz. i just couldnt wait to clock this baby up to 3ghz... lol, heres my initial results...
http://media4.dropshots.com/photos/1...1/b_024301.jpg
I'M FINALLY 5.9!!! hehe
so, for all you DFI 790fx-M2RS owners out there... the new B3 phenoms work perfectly as well as overclocking.
havent done any benching yet because its like 5am and i have class at 9:30 (i plan on sleeping.. heh) but i just wanted to quickly try this baby out before i hit the hay :p:
Had a disc failure so i had to reinstall on a single hd today.
Install log:
2.9/2.4GHZ 1.4/1.35V failed

And to nag you albit more, have you checked the max ref Ht you can get? Mine tops out at ~270MHz where the 9600BE did up to 285MHz. (on 3-07 bios).
Also I found the higher the ref HT the lower the possible max nb frequency can be.
@Gunther: Nice polish, how much did you remove?
as for micrometres of removal... i have no clue... i lapped until i saw all copper and i saw my reflection. lol... seems to have helped.my temps seem really good when under load and overclocked to 3.0ghz...Quote:

^^Looks like the CPU FID option has a major bug, it's not changing clock speeds at all [bit like Crystal CPUID for NB].
His 2800/3000 results are too slow. Wprime depends on CPU clock speed highly and his 3000MHz 32M is slower than my completely non-optimized, normal windows, AV/FW/FX/CPUZ running in background ran 32M at 2800MHz: http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/1269/2800wprimeav2.png
Here's my old 3000MHz run, its far quicker: http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/465/wp323gds4.png
And I've just ran my 2828 again [NB is stock, just changed it in CCPUID before to set on boot], its still fair bit quicker than his 3000: http://img214.imageshack.us/my.php?i...primehdid6.png
Which is not possible. His clocks are lower than 2800, his 3000 result looks like 2700. You have another DFI bug to sort out ;)
But he has a very low stock Vcore, he has a lower TDP, higher binned model which should clock better than ours.
My results at 2.9/2.2
http://www.abload.de/thumb/wprimepdm.jpg
I think ageom has a bios related issue with 307 i can not set the cpu fid in the bios at all if i set the cpu multi on the genie main page. CPU-Z always reads the correct multi here.
EDIT: Results at 3.0/2.4GHz 1.4875/1.425V
http://www.abload.de/thumb/cpuz3ghztxs.jpghttp://www.abload.de/thumb/wprime3ghz8wv.jpg
Everest Results 3.0/2.4GHz at 1.5/1.475V mem 533-4-5-5-15-11 at 2.3V, very unstable config.
http://www.abload.de/thumb/ev5xk3.jpg
Max power consumption of the whole system during uptime was 477W DC, 12V1+12V2 had 237W DC max consumption.
Can not run wprime 1024 or cinebench maybe at higher voltages but i'm at 75°C core temps and above 80°C cpu temps here so i must wait for better cooling to arrive.
EDIT: Tried 2.9/2.4 GHz today seems stable at 1.435/1.475V but getting too hot for longer testings. 2.9/2.4GHz work save at 1.425/1.375V (minimum somewhere near 1.4/1.35V) here with temps at around 70°C (cpu) under preassure.
My newegg charge messed up and my Phenom didn't come in. After reading more about the DFI bios bugs I may wait to everything gets sorted out.
So am I reading correctly that TBL isn't gone yet? Gunter are you running the 3/5 bios for the M2RS and can you confirm about the TBL.
Man this is a little wacky. Wish I could contribute but I'm waiting till after the tax money comes in now.
Buy my FLEX PC2-9200 I'll make ya a good deal on them they are only a couple months old and as usual I take exceptionally good care of my stuff and they are in Mint condition..........Of Course:up:Quote:

The last thing you want to hear while flashing is the floppy drive starting to do the "re-read" shuffle. Sadly while rebuilding the machine... the faceplate on the floppy came off... and I blew about 12 years worth of dust out of there. Then I realized this is the same floppy I've been using since 486 days... everything else has been changed multiple times.
BTW: When I hooked my drives up to the new MB/Phenom Vista updated all my drivers and everything worked very well. (I was ready to re-load... but never got around to it.) BUT going back to the old motherboard... it's all messed up and I HAD to reload. I think it has something to do with the ACPI stuff on the motherboards. (I'm guessing.)
OK......I need some advise from users that Run Vista 32bit with 2X2GB Ram Kits please:)
I am New to owning Vista and I am also new to owning 2x2gb Kit of Ram and my question is this.....When using Vista what works well with Stability testing programs? Also what do I set in Prime95 for amount of Ram in MB to be used for Blend Custom?\\ I set 4000mb But Task Manager shows 2.16GB being utilized:confused: Is it just Vista or is it just me not being familiar with Vista or both?
So I need counsel on the Proper way to set up Prime95 Blend/Custom and HCI MemTest Windows using Phenom with 2x2gb sticks of Ram please;)
Let's see..., for 4th time I'm gonna try reply to you guys.:rolleyes:Quote:

CnQ disable I can change CPU multi or CPU-VID to 15, and booted like that.:up:
Yes, I can boot to Windows, 3000MHz default Voltage, in fact I was able to install Vista x86 too. But now (some hours ago) I'm facing IDLE lockups, only replaying here was enough to lockup 3 times in a row. :(
Maximum HTT was 275 at 11 multi, very unstable, enough to boot XP. 307 bios.

Nice load temps.
Are you using the bios in your Sig?
Anybody know if the DFI 790FX-M2R will work with a cheap $32.00 Sempron? The 790FX boards from other companies say they work with a Sempron... but DFI doesn't say anything. (But they don't say anything about using 1066 memory either.)
I'm considering ordering one of these as an "emergency" backup CPU. "Just in case". If I get my Motherboard back next week and the Phenom I have ends up being what my problem was... then I'd have to wait for that to RMA. In the meanwhile I could get a 2.0 Ghz Sempron for $32.00 and get it at about the same time that the motherboard comes back.
If the phenom works okay (which is my HOPE) then I would have wasted $32.00. On the OTHER hand if the problem IS the phenom... then the $32.00 would pay for itself immediately. (Since I wouldn't have to replace my old motherboard/cpu/memory yet again.)
So it would be kind of like "insurance". If I order it... then the laws of nature would say that it will be un-needed. :-)
PLUS as a bonus... I can use the Sempron with a small cheap motherboard and some cheap ram for building a multimedia server.
Yes I am currently on 1/30/2008 :) Really don't understand enough or am unfamiliar with Phenom so Flashing Bios when you don't know whats normal and whats not is not a sensible Idea and not very bright at all even if I can reprogram the chip on my end I need a working Baseline on which to Judge other Bios on.Quote:

With Phenom its a really nice Bios from what I see so far but also I have not really challenged the HT Bus deal either. Actually it appears that HT Clocking is kind of pointless on the Phenom seeing how you can manipulate the HT / CPU /NB all independently which is really, really nice by the way:cool: and jam on it that way :yepp: But I suppose HT still finds its merit and worth in being able to incrementally increase and fine tune your clocks CPU/Ram/NB and what not ;) But I really like the Phenom and it really rounds off the experience on this board quite nicely and Gaming is much more fluent even at stock compaired to My Q6600 @3.55ghz and 1186 on Ram now thats impressive :up: Cant complain at all man not at all:clap:

Well... just finish for today, updated 3DMark06 ganged/unganged memory setting, had some Phenom love, I'm happy, I can go sleep now. :)
Didn't try Gaming on 9850, must install my favorite game ( Americas Army ) to play a little tomorrow, it's a good game for testing CPU too.
Cya guys, be well...
Brother, I hear that quite often from people both having an AMD and Intel setup. So guess that's a good and solid statement then:yepp:
Anyway, I ordered a Phenom 9850BE, hopefully it will arrive today.
I asked this in the 790FX-DQ6 thread however no one seems to care or so:shrug:.
Is it possible the IMC on my X2 is degrading or so? A few weeks back I had those strange crashes etc while my memory was allright. Turned out I had to downclock by 30Mhz and it was all good again.
Then this week I got them again:confused:. This time I thought it would be the memory (D9's), and I tested them with lower multi and they errored. However I wanted to be 100% sure and changed the DIMMs for one OCZ ReaperX PC6400 (two won't fit lol). Tested the CPU again at the 14x249 and it still BSOD'd. So it wasnt the D9's after all, since the IMC is linked with CPU speed and controlling the memory I think it might be the IMC dieing slowly?
Ill drop the CPU into my 790FX-DQ6 board today. It does have a broken 4th DIMM slot, but as long as I stay away from that it's ok. If I can get the CPU stable again on the DQ6 the problem must be at my M2R, however I really have the feeling it must be the CPU.
Any ideas? And even better, how to prevent it from happening next time:shrug:.Temps never got over 50, and I only tried a very, very few times at 1.55V to check if I could OC further in the beginning.
Well, in this case I hope it's the CPU.I still have to RMA the DQ6 because of the 4th RAM slot. If it's the M2R, Ive to set everything over into the DQ6, RMA the M2R and when I get it back again change evrything over again and RMA DQ6:(.
The only logical thing at this point is do as you say and drop it into another Board and further test to evaluate the problem and see if you can duplicate it in another set up. Could be the PSU as well that will also give you problems with RAM and make it error out been there done that one and was quite miffed by that situation until I finally came to the conclusion it was the PSU and sent the Siverstone STF06 in and got a PC-Power & Cooling and voila problem solved:)
The CPU? Doubtful but possible! Really depends on how hard you lean on your stuff with voltage applied but it does happen, as odd as a sighting of Big Foot at McDonalds :eek: But it is possible:)
Did you Test RAM with Memtest 2.0 yet?
Could be the PSU, but if that's true wouldn't the 'results' I got mean the PSU is degrading or something?
Ive a pretty good one (it's in my sig). But after all, not all PSU's are perfect. Silverstone is pretty good but well, sometimes a little design flaw wants some fun heh.
Ill try to get my Voltmeter and measure the Voltage under idle and load then. I dont hope it's the PSU as that does have quite an impact regarding rebuilding things:(.
Also my M2R makes a noise, but it's from around the CPU socket so eventually it's the CPU (which I don't think). Underload it barely makes noise, but idle it does make, and differing from the loading done at the moment the sound becomes different. I dont think this should be an issue. My old X800Pro did this, so did an older Epox sk754 board too. I heard this was just some component on a PCB not glued too well on it and starts to shake a fast, depending on the load.
Ill put a very last hand on the room cleansing before I start to test the things, though I hope Ill find the defect component very fast as I HATE to solve such things really.
One last remark, if it was my PSU, wouldn't it be more likely the PC would insta crash under load if the Voltage output becomes worse and worse? I mean, after all I actually used the same Voltages all the time, no matter what frequency. And from the first crash period, I only downlclocked 30Mhz, that wouldn't really lower Voltage/Ampere requirements by a significant number anyway (at same Voltage being applied it is).
That Silverstone model the STF06 was one of the Best PSU's available at the time and even Jonny Guru gave it a 9.5 and that was the last think I thought it would be ...but it was. Bad Power supply will definitely do that no power or not so good power in our systems means no worky worky properly!Quote:

WTF!? So I just tested the PSU. Voltages were a little below spec, but AFAIK not super bad.
Anyway, I measure at idle. Pretty constant. Then load and it stays the same. Then after a few minutes I decide to test again and measure a lot less. 12V line almost hit 11V. And it's very very slowly getting less and less. At idle it rose a little again, but it rose a lot less then it actually dropped... wtf?
[EDIT]BIOS and Everest read higher Voltages though. I know software and BIOS could be wrong and a multimeter is pretty solid although this isnt an A-Branded multimeter
[EDIT #2]I just thought of this, the PSU could have been like this from the start. So no guideline to tell if it's PSU related yet although Ive to admit the measurements I did were quite strange though. I just put the CPU into the DQ6, 2x1GB and a 3870. Let it priming... THough I :banana::banana::banana::banana:'n miss the nice power butons on the mobo like the M2R has... Oh well.
I measured again with the multimeter and got the same values, although the DQ6 BIOS read more or less the same Voltage as the M2R... Right lol. However, as far as I know, the CPU is already priming longer on the original OC than on the DFI board with 11.12V measured on 12V line from the multimeter.
On the M2R I had of course a second 3870, 4x1GB total and another Raptor but well, Voltage is the same anyway. Ill let it prime longer of course but thus far the M2R looks like to be the bad boy.
Note to self: Look where you walk next time, almost stepped on top of my M2R+3870 on the ground lol.
Aha ok. :)Quote:

Odin does odd power readings. With that PSU i had up to 480W DC power consumption. Replaced that PSU with an ZM850-HP and now i get a maximum of ~330W AC.
Well, definitely puzzling behavior on my system as well. Got home last night, the 9850 BE was delivered yesterday. Removed the 5000BE, popped in the 9850, system booted right up. Rebooted, set the multi to 15 (x200) and it started no problem (@1.4v). Am water cooled, so temps never exceed 35 or so (assuming its somewhat accurate).
Ran Orthos for about an hour, no problem. Played Hellgate for about a hour, not problems.
Woke up this morning, booted, and BANG BSODs left and right. Did Safe mode, BSOD. Did normal boot. Hung. Then boosted NB-CPU volts (107% setting), started right up, went to start Everest, BANG crash. Rebooted, now running fine.... :confused:
Using the 307 beta bios, had great luck with it.
Yeah, your scores are very low for your MHz. As if you've got big stability problems, that's why they occur - I had them on all Phenoms incl. 9850 if I push past 3070. Your CPU is benching 2800/2300 performance at 3000 settings. You might get more perf. with added voltage, that's lower than B3 perf for those clocks, so it should help. Same thing as mine with idle instability though - can get 3069 fully stable load but not stable idling. Vcore 1.2v boots 2.8G and 1.3v boots 3G into Windows, benches but will fail load/idle stability. 3100 1.4v runs EVEREST fine, does not run AOD stress test fine though. 3077 fails, 3069 is max load stable in everything not just one app, even in games, but still unstable for day in day out use.
The amount of random lockups I've had and the number of PMs/posts/emails I've lost.. only I can really know how depressing :(
:D
just optimized a little...
and new pi1m :banana:
sorry for that much pictures..

oh boy you're scaring me.. hottest ram on earth.. how much including shipping??
edit: temps:
Hi guys.
Today, when booted Vista, instability returned, same config as last night, nothing was changed, I tough it was one of this no no days. Well if it don't want to go 3100, maybe it want 3200 :rolleyes: , after some more volts, up where, down there, I manage boot 3200, check Everest, CPU-Z, etc, but when opening iexplorer, lookup again, never booted again, so loaded 3100 profile, and... were I am.:p:
HT=2.2 in bios does not work, always 2.0 in windows, I had the option in AOD to go up to 2.2(x11) but sytem frozed.
Run some 3DMark06 bench, this time I had PCIe=124:
