the bad news.. i need 1.431 vcore to go to 2.8 :(
but whatever very nice score...
some dual-core related experience with the 05/05 bios so far??? thinking of flashing/trying out that bios so far..
I'm so with you. This whole thing is just a shot in the dark, there is no predictability at all. I'm gonna unload all my stuff, and downsize to another Gigabyte 780G board and a single X2 card. Might even do another BE5000 to be honest. I can't see ANY difference in gameplay with the 5000 and the 9850 (other than ridiculous random crashes!!).Quote:

This whole craziness that we all have seen where you can test and bench and stress all day and its rock solid, then it blows up in menial tasks or gaming means there is some underlying mystery that is either unsolvable, or someone somewhere WON"T solve it (nee, AMD). Its their chipsets, their processors, their GPUS, their drivers and THEIR FIRMWARE. Its ALL them.
ok got this board, phenom 9850 BE, 2x 3870x2 cards and no boot whatsoever...can this not support phenom out of the box...do i need to get a am2 processor and flash the new bios?...the video cards stay with 2 power led lit like there is not enough power, but the board does not boot even with crap hd 2400pro card...any input is appreciated...fast :D
try a proper cmos clear.. used or new one or open box??
bah nevermind i just hit reset 2 times and is now booting fine :)
lol consider a bios update whatever...
i have been AMD through and through since the early/mid nineties, dabbling with Intel stuffs every once and awhile along the way, although with the Intel, not much recently, except for a couple of Intel Core Duo lappy's....these phenom problems are HUGE concern in my world, it seems AMD has taken a step BACKWARD in an effort to catch up....
sticking with the 6400+BE and the DFI 790 board for now, board screams with a dual core, no problems at all...Phenom and four cores can wait for awhile, or forever:mad:....
laterzzz.....
Well I have not had Issue one with my Phenom 9850 BE @2.8ghz @1.23750vcore:) No Random Freezes , Shut Downs , Instability , etc , etc;) and I run my system 18hrs a day mostly 24/7 though:)
so how do i squeeze more out of this cpu?...i got M2R board, 9850 BE, ballistix tracer 1066...what settings do i need to modify, cause at stock the cpu crashes at 2.7 :S
are these cpus really such bad overclockers? :(
thanks for any info
why don't you try posting in the DFI / Phenom thread that just has people using Phenom with out board?:confused:
guys a quick help , i am looking for Sapphire bios to update my 790fx motherboard but cant find it anywhere , is it sapphire works straight out with DFI bioses?
Sapphire bios page doesnt even exist. please help me , is it ok to flash the sapphire with the latest dfi bios?
You can Flash with DFI Bios PM JustaPost and ask which one please:)

damn , i saw the "drivers" page but couldnt imagine there would be a bios file in there :D
:bounce:
sry need to grab a few of my results from that thread.;)
Bump!
I upgraded the cooler on my Phen but I'm in the middle of some development so I've not had time to play with OCing. I also dropped a Corsair 550VX in so I could have the EPS610 for my Quad socket.
While I've been working on projects, a bud on the OCF forum PMed me that he has a Toliman running 2895 at 1.28V with a biostar TA 790GX A2+ (SB750). I feel pawned!
I'll be getting back to my DFI and 9850 soon!
im thinking of building a new system around this motherboard my current psu is a OCZ Powerstream 520w im gonna use a ati 3870 and 2 harddrives a burner and 4 fans, my question will this power supply work ? iv read threw many posts that the DFI boards really need a good psu anyone have experience with using these together?
thanks..
normally that psu should work, but regarding a phenom and ocin a lot it "could" be too small.. depends on which processor and how much oc on graphics cards and cpu i think.. but i would try it. ocz psu's are good choice with dfi normally..
im not goin phenom just yet i got a deal on a x2 6000+ ($50) , as for the gpu im goin to try and squeeze as much as i can out of it air cooled....
jep i think then that psu should work..
:banana: just wanted to report got my board back from rma, everythings working like perfect even the nb fan header which was broken (no sense/control) does do it now.. Although the dfi support wrote me it isnt supposed to work and so there was never anything wrong with it :rotf:
best thing: one day shipping from rotterdam/nederlands to lueneburg/germany.. almost unbelievable :shocked:
now i'm cooling the pwm section with a 70mm cooler and will mount the transpiper to the southbridge... and never ever uppen the pcie clock again (as it is not necessary really.. ;) )
Hi!
I have the DK version, and I can't find the NB VID option in PWM Control menu. Is it only available on the UT version? :confused:
I wanted to test NB/L3 overclocking but I can't raise the VID.
unfortunately, best i could do with my SB600 and my particular chip is 2.8GHZ @ 1.2625 VID and 2.2GHZ NB @ 1.325 VID, ddr2-1066 (533) @ 1.9VID. i can get 2.9GHZ load stable, but i get freezes. probably due to the SB600. ill let this sit until deneb and or a dfi ut sb750 board, and then partake in the games again.
pc is blazing even at this moderate oc. i see a significant improvement over my dual core on socket 939. i can encode a ~2.5hr move in about ~9-10 mins one pass, multithreaded. superpi is 28.3 seconds.
