The cooling water.
I'm in progress ... Phenom 9950@3.7G OC
X4 9950BE TDP 125W
My Phenom 9950 code 0836DPDW
What is the code for another user?
The chip is the mainboard and overclocked?
ACC : +4
http://cfs14.tistory.com/original/18.../48f0b30d0da35
namegt are you chilling that water or is that just a massive rad?
Looks incredibly impressive and thats a really nice OC you have managed.
now at 3.2GHZ (1.42/1.41v), NB @ 2.2GHZ, 1066/5-5-5-15, ACC: Auto, 9/19 beta bios on DK 790FXB-M2RSH
sb750/acc completely unlocked the potential of this particular chip.
cooling is maxed out at this point (~55/56c (hwmon) loaded) and chip needs a massive voltage jump to do 3.3GHZ ~1.49/1.5. i'd need to add another mcr120-qp and get med. power fans on the rads to dump the heat of an increased clock using this vortex xp block (dtek fuzion v1). its whisper quiet tho with 2 yate loons low power on 2xmcr120-qp. pwm stays cool on this board (36/37c as per the sensor). chipset 60c loaded according to sensor. ide is flaky (garbled string readout next to controller sometimes and rare hangs at post). slight vdroop (havent tested with a dmm but hwmon says 1.42->1.41VID + 11.97 -> 11.9 +12 rail @ load (corsair hx620 psu). slight htt increase just causes massive instability.
maybe i can get slightly more by tweaking out acc, but i dont think so. it seems sensitive. either causing no boots, lock ups and other wierd behavior past -2 (+ locks up)
board needed a cmos clear when i got it. windows wouldnt install (lock ups) and when it did, it was freezing every few mins and lockups in windows). i miss ez clear from the ut. pain to jumper it.
ill test idle instablity/freezing after letting occt sit for ~6 hours.
AOD caused lockups on starting (i havent tested it after i did the cmos clear tho).
-pershoot
dont flash to 9/30 official. you'll lose the ability to change NB multiplier. 9/19 beta feels a bit better then 9/30 does as well.
Is 56 degrees the optimum temperature for this CPU then?Quote:

Is it also not recommended to go higher than 1.5 volts?
Sorry if these questions seem naive but I am new to AMD oc'ing and was just reckoning the CPU would be alright with slightly higher voltages.
I am cooling on air at the moment with a Coolermaster V8 though later on I will probably put together a makeshift loop using a double thermochill and single XSPC rad just to see how high I can get this 9850 BE.
i think 1.5 'might' be too high for 24/7 without some later degradation (altho 65nm can take up to 1.55 i believe). plus your on air, so not advisable in my opinion.Quote:

triple 120's with some medium fans on mcr's or 3 thermochills and low power would do the trick on a massively oc'd phenom.
OK. Cheers man. I've just reconfigured the fan settings on the cooler which has lowered temps by five degrees under load. I was tempted to aim another fan at it but I want to probe and find decent 24/7 settings first and I think aiming extra fans at the cooler would just give me unrealistic results and defeat the purpose. Later on if I think heat is standing in the way of some decent benchmarks I'll slap on the EK and push it a bit harder.
this idle freeze is killin me! load stable 3.2, np, but idle/web browsing is another story. playing with acc now...
ive had that happen too a few times, is that 3.2 w/ multi only?Quote:

had to drop to 3.0GHZ (idle freeze at 3.1ghz/3.2ghz), i may bump htt some (i cant do 206 or 205 @ 1066, but can do 203). hoping a bios update can make things smoother.. i can set a +2 or +4, but not 0 or - if i want to post after a hard shutdown. auto seems to work best.
Does someone knows something about the IMC vCore ? Will they come in a new Bios ?
Done a quick over clock with just the multiplayer and hit 3.1 all cores with no problems at stock voltage and ACC on Auto using AMD overdrive.
The next thing I will do is clock the cores one by one with AMD over drive and see if I have a poor core to see why I can not hit 3.2 with out getting the BSOD. Then I will look at using ACC and run the tests again at +2 and then +4 to see if this helps.
Once I know how far I can push using multiplayer on stock voltages I will then start pushing the bus.
awesome. any idle/web browse freeze? at 3.1, took up to an hour to show idle/web browse freezing for me. at 3.2 took a few mins to immediate after windows start up.
Sad to see idle freezing to be still there. Maybe you should try more ACC options or so. Ive had massive idle freezing on SB600. I just got my SB750 so I still need to test it.
Oh well, bee running stock for 4 months now easily, if not 5. I can wait another 2 months for Deneb anyway:p:
w00t, testing the 790FXB-M2RS now.
Thus far it does 2.9Ghz already prime stable for two hours with only +0.025mV (CPU-Z reports 1.28Vcore) and only runs about 43C load.
ACC is on auto and reports for every core in BIOS '-2'. Is this just a stock value or is that chosen to be the best option for this CPU?
I tried booting 3Ghz with stock Volts but I got BSOD's before log-in. I think I need to get an idea again of OCíng Phenom:p: Not that I care, I love it.
Ive AOD 2.1.2 I think, but I cant use ACC via AOD. I read about 2.1.4 so Ill try and use that instead.
Also I tried looking for the list of MSR editor codes to OC Phenom that way but I couldnt find it:( While browsing this thread I noticed 'F9'in BIOS might uncover extra options? Does this include NB control (cant see now since Im testing). If not then I'd appreciate if someone knows where to find the MSR values again:up:
Anyway, for anyone who forgot, I never could boot at 2.9Ghz on the UT 790FX. 2.8Ghz ran 16h prime stable but suffered severely from idle freezing. In the end I just decided for a small OC but even 2.6Ghz suffered from idle freezing. So 2.9Ghz even logging into windows is a huge step here. I hope I can reach 3Ghz though (or higher), just have to figure out ACC a bit:p:
I think that is just the default value that appears visible, I don't think setting the ACC to auto switches all cores to -2 because if you change some of the values to say +4 and then switch it back to auto the +4 remains visible.
I'm a bit dissapointed with my CPU, I can't acheive anything other than 2.9 with stability. No matter what I do at higher speeds the fourth or third core drops. I have managed to boot into Vista with 3.4GHz but prime 95 begins failing almost immediately and will sometimes crash the system. 3.1 I can make stable for as long as 1hr 10 minutes before the fourth core stops.
Its not the end of the world though because I always planned on replacing it as soon as Deneb arrived and putting this one into a Media Server. I was originally going to get the X3 black edition because it was a lot cheaper but in the end impulse forced me to the 9850.
f9 will give you nb multiplier and divisor, cpu hex and divisor and some extra HT and DRAM options along with tlb option. setting acc to auto 'should' net you to 3.0ghz. might take ~1.33 or so. if u decide to play with acc, set your acc value, boot all the way to windows then power off and power up. if you can post, then go ahead and test stability. i can only POST after power off using values +2, +4 or auto. 9/19 beta seems good. i wouldn't use 9/30 official, as nb mlti change doesn't work in that one.Quote:

Dont know if it really helps, but I think on the SB600 while Priming and WinAmp you could still detect idle freezing.Quote:

I'd love to but the first idle freezing is a fact already at 3Ghz, although I didnt play a lot with Voltages/ACC yet.Quote:

To highlight the idle freezing a bit more, all of you who had issues with this, did ACC (be it lower or higher) and/or Voltage help anything regarding idle freezing? Because from my experience Voltage helped a bit on the SB600 but sooner or later it froze up anyway. Sometimes after 30h but when I play a game sometimes within 5 minutes, and that's not doable. With more Voltage I could only extend it a bit but it's still unstability in the end. I still didnt have a chance to play some with ACC, but if anyone has experience with ACC + idle freezing I'd like to know before I waste weeks to solve idle freezing like on the SB600.
If it's not possible to get the idle freezing wall higher, Ive a :banana::banana::banana::banana: chip for sure:p: It's alreayd freezing at 3Ghz, Im not sure if it also freezes at 2.9Ghz but as long as it doesnt happen I cant be sure. Still congrats for AMD to make this SB750, it does a great job anyway.
So is it my understanding that the SB750 implementation Did Not Resolve the Phenom Freezing?
looks like i fixed my idle freeze on my particular cpu (hasn't frozen yet in over 24 hours; but still testing). ACC is now at (top to bottom) +4,+2,+2,+2. try that. i can do 3.2, but having some heat issues, so need to sort that before i bump the volts back up to stay at 3.2GHZ (havent tested the aforementioned acc setting for idle freeze at 3.2 yet, only 3.1). before adjusting acc, set your multiplier back to stock, save, adjust acc, up the multiplier (i noticed some buggy behavior on the bios causing a false alarm no post, so i have been doing it this way...). boot in to windows, shutdown. power up, if you POST, go back in to windows and let it sit there/browse the web, play music, etc. to test idle freezing. i can only post with auto, +2 or +4 (so that's why its best to shutdown and then power up to ensure that you can POST from cold boot; once you play with acc, youll know which values result in a non POST, etc., for you).Quote:

i dont use prime95 anymore, so cant help ya on that front. i have been using occt. works well for me!
good luck:)
nope. but acc tweaking can cure it (your mileage may vary).Quote:

I first tried +4 but it already froze before log in weird enough. One would think +x would help more but since we've not a big clue about -x or +x, -x might help as well. I decided to pick -4 since auto showed -2 although I cant be sure if it really was at -2 in the end.
Im set on trying to solve idle freezing now though because I tried increase Vcore and lowering clocks previously on my SB600 setup and this only resulted in the conclusion that everything above stock simple froze up, no matter how many hours of stress testing. Even 2.6Ghz froze in idle. I do think that idle freezing has something to do with a timing issue somewhere between the CPU and the motherboard or so since it seriously makes no clue that 2.9Ghz is prime stable but idle it just doesnt.
Im idle testing by watching some vids on youtube, playing WinAmp all the time and browsing some around and posting on fora when I can.
On my SB600 I couldnt even boot at 2.9Ghz, now Im mainly wondering if ACC is actually just increasing the ability to OC or solves idle freezing from forming a wall for your OC. The higher you clocked on the SB600, the faster the system froze up;
2.6Ghz ---> took a while to freeze up
2.7Ghz ---> after a few hours
2.8Ghz ---> between immediate and an hour after stopping stress testing
2.9Ghz ---> directly after hitting enter to log in
3.0Ghz ---> directly after POST before the Windows loading bar
But now I can actually boot up 3Ghz without issues, it doesnt idle freeze right away either. It takes a little bit of time. So I think ACC does something here, but in what direction to go, Ive no clue:confused:
Whatever I get solved in the end or Ive to run stock, I dont care either way... as long as Deneb sticks for Q4/Jan '09:D
it just shows - when u set auto. i doubt its actually setting - for all or even setting that. for me, trying a uniform acc number did nothing for the freeze. once i offset core 0 in reference to the other cores, things looked lots better. ya keep playing with acc, one core at a time. im confident youll hammer down the idle freeze. my particular cpu is sensitive to volts (to not only cpu volts but also to dram volts as well). not sure if yours is as well, but might want to be sparing on it (i.e. only give it if it needs it). i know.. takes a ton of reboots and time.. but hey, you have a new toy to play with! :)Quote:

Thus far Im 4.5 hours idle now with about 2~3x a short 1 minute Prime95 run to increase and derease load instant. Im thinking to leave it overnight running to be sure.
I also vagelue remember I used to BSOD at 3Ghz with ACC +4 but Im seriously not sure. Stupid I didnt note it down though. But thus far it seems like my CPU loves ACC - values. But I had more 'thoughts' in the past with the SB600 setup which actually shot all the ways except the right direction but then again the SB600 simply had no cure for the idle freezing problem:rolleyes:
Ill see. Im now busy mainly getting the idle freezing cured. If that succeeds Ill try bumping up the Mhz's and the Volts. But I dont think Vcore is doing anything to cure it so I think I might actually hit 3Ghz at stock Volts, but hey, cant be sure anyway:p:
And please, PM me if your current setting does not seem to run idle stable:p:
EDIT Im on 64-bit OS as well so currently Im pleased apart from the idle freezing
I did a few quick tests;
2.9Ghz, +0.025mV, -4/-4/-4/-4
Core 4 errors immediately in Prime Blend
3Ghz, +0.025mV, 0/0/0/+2
Prime 95 crashes (as application, not errors)? Happened twice in a row.
3Ghz, +0.025mV, +2/+2/+2/+4
BSOD's after a minute in Prime Blend
lol, wut.
I noticed the 4th core is the weakest, but Ill play around more tomorrow to figure out whether the 2nd test I did is a matter of too low Vcore or wrong ACC settings or something.
I read from anandtech that stock value from SB600 the ACC was -2 ~ 0. With SB750, as you know, you can go from -12 ~ +12, with - going into the less Vcore direction and with + higher clock direction. Interesting.
Could someone btw comment on my tests? BSOD shows easily the settings were crap, but what about the 2nd? It actually never happened to me that Prime crashed as a program, always either error or BSOD:confused: Does this means more Vcore? Or is that impossible so I should be looking at ACC?
Thx in advance and gdnight.
I had a quick play with my board yesterday, set ACC to +4 all cores, set the voltages a little higher and hit 3.3 Ghz on all for cores on my 9850. When I get in tonight I will see if the settings I used work againg and if so I will do a CPU-Z and a screen dump and post them.
Idle freezing huh...are u guys running performance on demand ? ..if so, I once had the same problem ;)
Decided to test more extensively, although my testing isnt pure precise but I want a quick reference to work down from there. I didnt test to have the first core a higher ACC than the other cores, Ill try that after this current test.
Thus far I got this;
ACC - Mhz - Vcore - result in Prime Blend
Auto - 3Ghz - auto - freeze after 3 min
+2/+2/+2/+2 - 3Ghz - auto - core 3 error'd
+2/+2/+4/+2 - 3Ghz - auto - freeze after 2 min
Decided to (hopefull) rule out Vcore;
Auto - 3Ghz - +0.075V - idle freeze but ran Prime Blend twice for 25min+
+2/+2/+2/+2 - 3Ghz - +0.075V - freeze with Prime in the back ground browsing sites
Im now testing the same as above with 0/0/0/0, if that doesnt work Ill get back to setting a higher ACC value. Frustrating but Ive a hope I can get it solved.
Pers, did your setup froze up yet btw?
Rammsteiner, I have doubts about your CPU. I pray Deneb will deliver you from CPU hell LOL. Goodluck!
rammsteiner,
nope, no more freezes at ACC: +4,+2,+2,+2.
You say what I think:p:Quote:

Thus far Im testing the same settings as pershoot and it ran idle for an hour with 20m Prime Blend run before that. While typing this Im running Prime Blend again for a few minutes to create different load and idle situations.
I might as well keep Prime running for another 2 hours (watching movie) followed by an overnight idle test:rolleyes:. Everytime I run a new idle test I reload WinAmp so I can see how long it actually kept on running before an eventual freeze.
Rammsteiner do you use the 09/19 beta bios ? If not then try it.
No, Im not.Quote:

In that way it simply idle freezes, it's still a great CPU but a bit dissapointing to still see it freezing while idle.
Im now trying desperate things, like setting the NB to ganged instead of unganged... I dont know why though, Ill see. If I dont get soon a certain idea where I should be looking at to get it solved Ill set it back to default again and wait for Deneb anyway.
I can increase clocks epicly, SB750 does its job in that regard. But what's the point if idle freezing is still an issue, in the end that was the reason why I had to run default on my SB600 boards, not because it wouldnt OC but simply doe to the freezing, even at 2.6Ghz:(
Raising ACC etc is an option but it gained me nothing thus far really. I think ACC, just like Voltage, cant fix it. As said, maybe there's a certain setting which some steppings are sensitive for:shrug:
spoke to soon. was frozen after i returned from work. testing more acc...Quote:

If you are running XP Pro 64 Bit Edition then that's your problem. I had no love what so ever trying to run that O.S with my 9850 BE and any deviation from default Vcore settings Lower or Higher @ (STOCK) would result in System Freeze which never happened in XP32 or Vista 32 just in XP64 and I tried to no avail with 5 install attempts and the same crap every time.
Try XP32 and see if you duplicate the situation please:yepp:
As a point of interest I never got a chance to see the worth and Merit of Vista 64 bit to see if it would improve the experience that I had on XP64
Up to 3.4 GHz on vista 32bit. :)
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=436889 :)
see my post here http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=205598 for screen dumps, just posted new pics.
Rammsteiner donte WASTE your time with the stock bios !!!
Test the beta because it made a HUGE difference on my 9950.
Stock BIOS: barely stable at 3 GHz XP32 and Vista 64
Beta BIOS: 3.3 GHz STABLE XP32 AND Vista 64 !!!
So its up to you.....
And btw saw lots of ACC values from you guys here.
Just for diversity got my stable oc using +2 -2 +2 -2 !
The instable cores are at -2% !
Ive 4GB of RAM, a GPU with 2GB of GDDR etc. Also Im aware that a 64-bit OS does lower my final OC, but, this shouldnt result in idle freezing as Ive it now. 64-bit OS simply sets the wall lower than a 32-bit OS. Idle freezing is just some :banana::banana::banana::banana: up:(Quote:

Maybe I might order a 9950BE or Ill just wait the remaining two months for Deneb. All Ive to say is, this CPU is plain crap.
If it was a BIOS issue, all Ive to say that either DFI would have noted this in the BIOS release notes since it's quite an issue, the minorty suffer from it, but the minorty is still a huge number though. Otherwise it could have been solved in the UT 790FX-M2R BIOS already and/or the 790FX-DQ6 BIOS. It didnt:(
...sounds like a bit of a downer for 64bit os :(Quote:

But I tried that with normal XP and it didnt show improvements regarding idle freezing. I only managed to be able to boot up at a higher clock, but that was to be expected since this was the same on my Athlon X2. Idle freezing however, it didnt get away except stock settings, just like current 64-bit OS:(
Seems like Ive the rotten one... Well, regarding OC's though. I still think Phenom is a very nice CPU and I can run everything I want. It's just a bit of a let down after waiting this long on SB750 to see the actual problem for me, idle freezing, isnt actually solved by SB750 (or Im missing something). Oh well;
WHERE ART THOU, DENEB!?:p:
i feel you ramm. im pulling my hair out too over this idle freeze. either i fix it or i throw something out the window first, hehe.
wish us both luck in this one!
I have no idle freezing on my system.
But another kind of strange behaviour with acc.
e.g. When i fine tune ACC to the extreme and do stability test everything is fine.
But after that stability test, wehn i reboot sometimes i could not boot into windows at all. Had to set ACC to auto to be able to get into windows again lol.
Also when ACC is hand tuned it could happen that after PC reset no boot, but stress test was fine.
So right now i am running ACC on auto again lol.
Dont know if I had the same 'experience'Quote:

Just bought the board. 09/19 bios.
The damn thing won't shutdown after it's selected in windows. Actually it does...for a second and then restarts itself with no way I can find of stopping this loop.
Anyone else getting this or know how to fix it? Apart from pulling the plug.
Besides that I'm getting 3ghz @ stock with no ACC so far...
Maybe this new beta bios can help?
DFI have updated there beta bios http://us.dfi.com.tw/Support/Downloa...FLAG=B&SITE=US
Major Reasons of Change:
1、Added CPU NB Clock Ratio Item for Phenom CPU OC.
2、Added CPU Host/HTT Adjust Gap Item.
3、fixed over 12G will hang in USB initial.
Added CPU_NB_VID Item.
Thanks for the bios and yes that's the plan. Hopefully it will fix it.
I posted this same question in the other thread.
How are you flashing the board? Winflash or a usb stick?
I'm seeing that big flashing warning on their site and thought I had better check.
DFI as usual are using pidgeon english when they're talking about this auto boost thing. I haven't installed it as I presumed it was automatic overclocking, yet I'm being led to believe from this warning that it might be needed for bios flashing. Is that the case?
I'm confused and don't know what to think now...:confused:
As far as I know it’s not needed for flashing. That massage is just saying if you are going to use there OC program you need the most up to date files. I download the files meant for updating your Bios via a floppy disk & put them on a Dos bootable USB stick. I have had no problems up dating my Bios this way. If you have made any changes in your Bios then save them to one of the back up banks. Up date your bios, shut down your PC, reset the CMOS battery, and turn on your PC, go into Bios screen, load default values, shut down PC, reboot PC back into Bios screen and then load up your saved settings. Then you should have no problems and a better working board.
