You...like everyne...are entitled to their opinion, but to trash someone elses opinio, you must surely be prepared to have your own opinion drawn into question.....
Better if you just state that it is "IMO" or similar, than to cast aspersions on other peoples opinions.....
You say that Phenom is total crap, and yet it seems apparrent to most reasonable people that it has hardly been a week since it was released, and that there are still some issues surrounding motherboard support for Phenom, which is hardly demonstrative that Phenom itself is total crap..... as you put it..... but more likely that motherboard manufacturers have done a poor job of providing adequate support for their products.....
Please by all means do provide us with your screenshots and analysis of your own Phenom OC attempts, this will at least then give some support and possibly credence to your OPINION.....!!!!! and will actually make a useful and worthwhile contribution to this thread.... and will serve to show others the details of the particular setup and any issues.....
I agree with kazgirl.
OBR,i am very interested in a pic of your Phenom CPU.Also a picture of a running system along with Everest running would be appreciated.
Phenom is a long way from total crap...The boards and bioses could be called like that(but still that would be pushing it..).
BIOS support will come just as it did with the initial AM2 boards that could barely beat the older s939 systems(later on with good bios and ram,AM2 could easily outrun per clock and outclock any s939 system;today we have 3.5Ghz X2 systems running,with 65nm G2s hitting 3.4Ghz region with air)
really interested in seeing the higher NB speed with phenom, I have a feeling thats whats keeping the CPU behind the Q6600, and terrible scaling @ 3ghz vs 2.2ghz
He flashed older bios, he overclocked (with) the board, and from hundreds and hundreds of bios flashes i never killed a board, ever.Quote:

Still waiting :D . Did you consider the weak memory frequency when running NB at 2.7 GHz :confused: .Quote:

I dunno where you live and what kind of warranty you have there but atleast here if you kill the mobo by flashing the bios it's definite no no for RMA.Quote:

anyone trying it with a 790 bored yet?
Has anyone put one under phase or LN2 yet? I am wondering if this cpu suffers from a "cold bug"
This is merely my opinion as I have not seen anyone put a Phenom under phase or LN2. I'm assuming that because the Phenom is made on the same process as the 65nm Brisbane, it's going to have the same coldbug attributes. Let's wait and see. I'm waiting for a B3 revision and a Cryo-Z! :DQuote:

What happened to AMD-PHENOM.
He got banned? :confused:
Right when we were seeing something too :shakes:
wtf how and why?!?!?!?
Yea, but why. He had a nice thread going here...
I will have a 9500, MSI 790x motherboard in the matter of days. It will be ocing on water day 1, and will have CF 29xx 1GB cards in it.
I will share my findings after my play time(By this weekend hopefully).
On my last setup I either fried my FX-62 or my DDR2. I think I toasted the FX-62. but you never know.........So if I have to RMA my memory it will not be untill next week.
Banned? Are you serious?? What in the hell for? I looked back over his posts and there was absolutely nothing wrong with them. That's crazy! Something smells.... hmm
Maybe he was in disguise of being a person that is already banned
Maybe. I guess that's the only logical explanation. Anyone know who he was? Maybe we can track him down on another forum. I'd love to see how much, if any, that NB increase sped things up.
this was one of the most useful thread about am2 compatibility...damn for that ban!
Been doing some overclocking on my phenom 9500/m2n-sli deluxe
Reduced the NB multiplier to 6 (thanks TicTac)
Memory speed has been severely reduced to stop if from having effect on overclock
I have an Arctic Cooler Freezer pro 64 (or whatever its called)
At 1.4 v ( according to AI-booster)
I have reached 247*11 -> 2717 Mhz
1.45 v -> 253*11 -> 2783 Mhz
(Stability was tested just for 1 minute on AMD overdrive stablility tool)
I feel I'm quickly running into a wall here. Not sure how many volts I can feed it before it overheats. AI booster seems to fluctuate wildly in temps, probably running at more than 55 degrees celcius.
I don't wish to destroy this cpu, but I would like to see how far I can take it. Can I push further safely?
At 1.5v, the highest i can get is 257x11 = 2827.
It looks like I would require about 1.7v to reach 3 Ghz, which seems kind of extreme, and something i'm not willing to attempt on air cooling. Since i don't intended on getting better cooling, this is probably as far as I will push it.
