and play musice all at the same time it a vista bug from a update that came
out after SP1 for vista .MY 9850 was crashing at idle or when i run 3dmark-06
so after a week of checking stuff thinking it was hardware i did a clean install of vista-64 got it up to date to SP1 than stop ran test not crashing at idle or running a game so if you are having trouble with crashing at idle mite want to do clean install of vista.
lets hope amd will fix it in bios if they can :DQuote:

My opinion is x64 needs more time to mature some but man when it does watch out! Thanks m8.Quote:

OS has no influence on overclock.Quote:

Agree with on on vista64 though, no issues with it at all.:)
We tested 64bit os stabilty with B2's already.
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=179058
This issue seems to be gone with B3's.
Crap, didn't know that.. that's weird
Thanks for the info m8s, I appreciate. Yep, I've got a lot of reading to do, thanks for the link Justapost.
Hmmm, I just noticed RAM OC's need some special attention. Assumed I could as well test 4-4-4 DDR800 while testing CPU OC's. But then core 1 failed, 0.025Vcore more made core 4 fail. Luckily without reason I decided to set manual settings for the RAM and nothing failed thus far.
It runs now at 0.1Vcore less. So Ill leave RAM for what it is now, will get back to it later but turns out you got to test everything for 110% and dont assume anything from previous OC results from a different system lol.
Is there any word about 4 DIMMs to use unganged vs ganged? I read Tony said you'd better use ganged when running 1066 mode, so I was wondering if 4 DIMMs at any speed needed some special treatment too?
Hi
iam using vista-64 it ran great until i down loaded one or two of the last vista up-date so reinstall vista-64 and update to SP1 one it runs great again no trouble.so i realy fell that it was a vista up that made the problems for me.
Something they did after SP1.
AMD 9850BE Phenom
DFI LandParty DK 790fx M2RS
2 HIS 3850 running in crossfire
2 WD 80gigs sata2 drive running raid-0
merkk1:
are you ocing your 9850? what's your setup like? i'm trying to decide whether i should get the dfi 790fx for my next build. i think we should set up an oc database on this 9850.
A few OC databasesQuote:

The whole Fanboy situation well......Lets just say that I prefer AMD over Intel because it feels more fluent and natural with its responsiveness for day to day use and just in general. Computers should be judged on a individual basis thats why they elected to coinn the Phrase "PC" which = Personal Computer which = Personal Computing Experience

Some nice posts here:).
Reason why I chose AMD while Intel scores so much better? Well, I like to play so much around. AMD OCíng isn't like 'bump multi', 'bump HTT', 'hello new OC'. I really like to play around but it's often frustrating at the same time. But you'll have to live with it in the end.
Besides that, at the time I bought the AM2 stuff, parts for Intel were far from future proof and current chipsets all missed different features for me personally.
Fanboy or not, Im really pleased with AMD just for the fun with OCíng. If you're looking for max SuperPI, 3DMark etc, then Intel is rightfully the winer. But benchmarks for me personally are something to compare to equal systems and not to get huge e-peens:yepp:. And as I never owned an Intel system, I cant really say anything about the 'smoothness' in usage, but I heard a lot AMD is running smoother from people who do own them both. But I dont use that comment as long as I dont experience that my self.
I'm running 4 X 1024 at 1066 currently at unganged 2.0v 5-5-5-15, The only problem i had was , when i first booted up everything was at auto, and i would get random errors, so just make sure to set everything up manually. I'm running the asus m3a hereQuote:

When I patched SP1 over Vista x64 with my Agena 9600 it forced the TLB fix on me and I could not get it to disable.
I would hope that it won't apply a TLB patch on the B3, that would suck as they have no need of the patch (heck even the B2 didn't need it in many cases for most people).Quote:

wonderful, good to know that. I was afraid that vista would just assume TLB patch on phenoms in general, not looking for a specific revision. Good news for sure :)

But I dont use that comment as long as I dont experience that my self. I have, well at least the P4 v. Athlon Series, in my opinion AMD tends clock lower but really move. I've never owned a an intel quad but I've had 3 intel core 2 laptops and my current amd lappy wips them without a dedicated video card (I don't game on laptops, of course) I will never say this cpu is empirically better over that one beacause of all the variables that go into setups, I will however say that I prefer one cpu over another. I will also put on the record that I am not against building Intel, I just don't really want to nor do I have the resources to outfit 2 builds of higher end parts. Sorry for the confusing post I couldn't the multi-quote to work.
Hmm, press the multi-quote button an all post you plan to reply the press post-reply.Quote:

are on this board iam still learning over clocking . Now as the board gose i like the DFI LP DK board . I think it a mite more trouble free than the DFI LP UT
board it newer it also DFI sec time around making a 790fx board so i think they learn from the UT what they wanted to do and want not to do. There
is a con then using the DK board is when you use the on board sound the audio out port is right under your sec. video card when running crossfire so
you will not be able to run the wires from the port to your case jack also
the chips temp. for the north bright get up to the low 70c range when i play a game bough video cards are crank up to full speed . I my self had a X-Fi sound card already so it was no big deal for me . I would like to know if the UT guys can post what the chips set temp. run at under full load.
Freakin' strange...I try to quote you and those multi-quotes showed up...oh well I'll do it right next time. Thanx for the help thoQuote:
