AMD-PHENOM, thans for the results. The 3d06 bench looks very good.
Is 2.7 the limit for stock Vcore? Is this prime stable?

great stuff AMD_PHENOM
I have a no boot wall @ 2.7 as well on this Gigabyte, hence I haven't posted anything yet as i've been busy trying to get around it.
It's stable up to it, I'm not sure what the deal is either.

Thank you for posting results:up: This is what i have been waiting for and 2.7ghz by 4cores is faster than what i have now! Even with low memory settings !
.
Are you using stock volt's ? like the OP?Quote:

Thanx all. I'll post back with results for any tests requested in a short while.
will post results shortly bud.Quote:

I can make changes in bios ok, and restart.......I can cold boot np......but if I restart from within windows, mobo hangs on post regardless of speed/settings.
In relation to 3D performance, I am about to install a second 8800GTS in 5minutes and will be able to comment more in a little while.
I ran cinebench mate.....I'll get to C10 in a while.Quote:

Overall the nuclearus score is also much weaker than Core 2's (ok that's not a surprise; interesting note though: phenom does not lose all tests but wins some, losing many others)
Overclocked Phenom gets beaten by an overclocked E4400 in FPU/ALU score
I don't understand how much of a difference memory/bios makes for the tests as I don't know how Nuclearus really works, but it shouldn't impact the single threaded ALU/FPU results much if at all.
[Data taken from the Nuclearus thread (page 11):
San Diego 3700+ @ 2750Mhz
2Gb Kingmax DDR400 @ 200 2,5-3-3-7 2T
Asus A8N-Sli
Conroe E6600 @ 2754Mhz
2Gb Mushkin XP6400 @ 460Mhz 5-5-5-15 2T
Dfi Infinity P-965 S]
A clock for clock comparison to Yorkfield in Nuclearus would be even more interesting. :)
Yup:up: thanks Kaz.....
Ill probally grab a Phenom after Christmas, its nice to know they boot and run on The Mobo....Im saving for new 790chipset but want to be able to test drive My M2N32deluxe before i jump into New MOBO/RAM and possable Videocard....Id really be happy with just changing my X2 to a X4 and save money towards New Nvidia GTS...
Oh Yeah Kaz....liked the analogy of (brick laying) for windows :up: Thats so easy to remeber...:D
P.S just in case AMD-Phenom ,what 790 do you reconmend? I was thinking Asus again but am up for what bets the Job done with decent Ocability.
they made it look so easy in this video set the multi to 14 then set the hyper traNSport reference clock to 215 and then the pciE clock to 220 just to see if it works he didnt even raise the voltage.Quote:

just curious if these settings would work like the video btw hes using the 9500 he gets 3ghz without breaking a sweat.
Hi, I guess you been over to ocforums as well....lol.... at least I think thats where I posted that one, a while back....lol...Quote:

@TitanThe 9500 has a max mulitplier of x11, the CPU in that vid must be an engineering sample, maybe when the 9600 unlocked version comes out it'll be as easy as the vid shows....Quote:

at least AMD Phenom series gives more performance than reported in those hardware review sites, which is not bad at all. So I will also consider getting an Athlon X2 combo and then later upgrade to Phenom when B3 stepping hits the market. Anyway, thanks AMD_PHENOM for the hard work.
I guess its due a NB issue. Almost all of the Phenoms stuck at 2700 MHz or 2200 NB MHz frequency. Should be interesting to set a lower multi to the NB and try some OC above 2.7 GHz, unfortunatly there is no Bios option at this time to lower the NB Multi.
Hope this is correct.
and these, for those interested.
Sciencemark normally gives you a set of scores like this:
http://img.techpowerup.org/071104/sm031676.jpg
Do you have those scores?
Super Pi @ 2706mhz, an updated nuclearus at the max passable 2738mhz which netted a 500point gain......aswell as max cpuz verification so far in this mobo.
I'll continue in the morning then switch to the 790X.
ah ok, I run the tests indivudually....I'll re-run them again first thing.Quote:

If you have time, I was running if you can run the Folding@Home SMP Client. You can find more info here. Thanks :D
I just bought a Phenom 9500 for my M2N-SLI deluxe as well.
AMD-Phenom, can you list exactly what changes you made to the bios? I can only revert it to stock from 1.1 ghz some of the time on bootup, other times it just freezes. I though i just had to lower the HTT multiplier, and that works some of the time, but other times i it just freezes when i change the CPU multiplier in AMD overdrive.
For anyone wondering, i have tried overclocking it, and the highest i got so far was 250 X 11 = 2750 Mhz, but it wasn't stable. About 2 minutes into a benchmark i ran, it quit.
Nope, +0.05v for 2.67, up from the stock 1.25vQuote:

The chip seems to respond well to a small bump in vcore though.
thinkin of changing boards to something else >:|
These are pretty good results considering the limitations of the mobos. You got my hopes up cuz most review sites had a negative tone towards this processor. AMD has always been the best imo. Hopefully they wil be proving this in the benchmarks soon.
Cheers for that info, should be getting one of these puppies in a month + i guess with a tad better heatsink to try oc a bit :)Quote:

Good luck man!
:rolleyes: That's AMD's commercial video and Macci works for AMD... I'm pretty damn sure he's using a unlocked cpu and the cpu is the cherrypicked. Same thing with Intel/Ati/nVidia's commercial videos, I wouldn't take any of them seriously.Quote:

I'm going to be buying 3 to 4 of these setups to replace the existing Opteron mini-farm and I was worried. Not really worried too much anymore considering I won't be buying for a month and hopefully the BIOS issues will be worked out by then.
Thanks again. :toast:
