Did you pass prime blend or just small fft's? If not blend try it if it passes small fft's and not blend your memory timings/subtimings need to be tweaked.Quote:

Ive to say it's thus far going good regarding Prime Blend.
285HTT, 13x multi, 3.705Ghz. NB and HT are at a 7x multi and the RAM is running 1:1. Before starting Prime I also ran for a 25% coverage Memtest, no errors. I know 25% or my previous 40% ain't like solid but if something would be really unstable it would have error'd. Now Im running for almost an hour Prime Blend, no issues yet either.
Last thing Im going to do is tweaking the NB a bit. I'd love to and try to get this CPU even higher but Ive been there before since I started OCíng and having 24/7 OC's being just at the edge isnt something you want, just a little ambient rise or whatever and it's all unstable, most of the time this happens when you just forgot the OC's and settings you tried:ROTF:
Maybe I might try and tweak the RAM a bit but this only adds up on numbers most of the time, not all that much on experience behind your PC. Im thinking about tweaking the settings that would have been done via Auto Xpress anyway (which isnt on this board) and tRAS/tRC timings, those are often set way too high.
If this all turns to be stable I might try and reinstall my soundcard again and see if nothing screws up. Creative ain't my favourite want to have brand, nor are soundcards in general, but often they've just a few features which make them shine:rolleyes:
Doesn't matter. Blend or small ffts, it BSOD before it gets the chance to fail them. If it's not BSODing, it will churn away at Prime no problem.Quote:

(i miss ez-clear from the 790fx-m2r))).
good luck.
Although this was on a 6400+ with broken IMC (Im a good IMC killer:(), there was a difference between day and night regarding small FFT's and blend. On the otherhand, as said, hardware was broken so you cant expect all results created by that to be 100% legit:rolleyes:
Doing 2h Prime Blend already. If Family Guy is done Ill try and get the NB higher:cool:
Alright, I reflashed and did a solid CMOS clear. Nothing.Quote:

Well I'm having better luck now than when I posted I was stuck at 3.5, reset everything and started again from scratch:

cpu overvolt - startup or disabled I guess
NB 2ghz at 1.3v
HT 1.6ghz at 1.2v
vdimm 2.2

I think this is as far as I'm going to take it until I rig up some mosfet cooling since biostar left them neked and flaming hot.

This is a known driver issue that many of us are hoping they fix SOON.
I also have the A79A-S.Quote:

BTW: I also increase the voltages in bios by about 2 steps above default for each one of them. (A bit more for memory... to get 2.116V.)
Well, it's working is all I can say. I don't see anything new added like I did with the Bios I replaced. Eitherway I like to have the newest one available. My PII 940 will be here soon and don't want any problems.Quote:

Not bad. My current Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro has my 5000+ BE at 38C, but that is with the help of winter weather. It nevers goes above 53C at full load, but this is just with a dual core. I may take your advice, but I am going to see how the stock cooler and the Freezer Pro perform on my 940 before taking the leap. If the TRUE was like 30 bucks I would have jumped on it, but I am seeing modles ranging from 75 bucks to over 100 bucks. For the price of a TRUE I could get a used water setup. Thanks for your input though. :up:Quote:

Yeah, the Xigmatek coolers are performing very nice and at a much more reasonable price than Thermalright. I've got the TRUE but my next build might include Thor's Hammer if it performs in line with my expectations (hopefully a bit better than TRUE) and is priced accordingly. Looks nice and should perform well too.Quote:

http://3800z24.info/Phenom/Deneb/XP3...T1hr3.8ghz.JPG
Yah the xig is a very nice cooler but.......in my initial situation i needed it for 775, and they give you a crappy mounting system, so bad they made a new one.......then on top of it they want $15 for it....it should be bundled with all the new coolers, they know they suck....add the $15 into the cost and the true wasn't that much of a difference.
Ok here 3.6 @1.45v this one using 2600 NB speed ,memory @1066, Now i'am going to try to see if i can get 3.7 so far not looking to good i think i mite need a 32 bit OS to move up from this point . I also flash back to the P05 bois try that for a bit but the cpu clock the same with the old or newer P06 bios.
@Merkk1....Boss Wallpaper Dude. Hooters....the perfect fetish! :up:
@Chew....The third recommendation seems OK, but still over priced. I really doubt I will pay over 40-50 for any air heatsink. :p:....Yeah, call me a cheapy.

i got to say i am very impressed with them, ive got them running at 2.0v and no problems, not one BSOD with them (i was getting a few with the crucial)
i havent upped the HTT on them yet to saee how high they go, but i seen a review that had them @ 1250 mhz :shocked:
Anyone think going DDR2-1066 this late in the game is worth it? I can do a full set for right under a hundred bucks, and I'd be going from vanilla DDR2-800 to OC'd 1066 most likely.

although going from 800 to 1066 i was disapointed in the 'real feel' of differance, although crysis did seem much smoother, other than that i wouldnt have noticed
I figured a way to use the mounting system from my Thermalright SI-128SE with the xigmatek......so no additional cost for me.....but even so Thermalright will cost $67 with no fan....add a fan and you talking another $12 plus shipping......you talking minum of $85.Quote:

mAJORD, your Crypto bandwidth should be higher than mine, but it isn't - I'm running at DDR2-960 memory 4x2gb, and FSB 240 x15 = 3.6GHz CPU, NB at 2.4GHz (10x) and HT at 2.4GHz. That's kind of weird. Your HT multiplier is different from your NB, that must have something to do with the motherboard you are using.
Crypto
Bandwidth 542 MB/s (you got 441 MB/s) - big discrepancy
Hashing 660 MB/s (you got 687 MB/s)
CPU at 1.4V, NB at 1.3V right now. I've tried 1.6V on the CPU and 1.5V on the NB but I can't increase the speed of either without crashing the system. Not quite where I expected water cooling to get me. I'm guessing it is due to using all 4 memory slots.
His should be better than this test I did...Quote:

Curiously the Multi-core efficiency is way up in Phenom II, but way behind Core i7. It's probably not a very good test. Up 45% for a 20% increase in clock speed.
Multi-core efficiency

That is suspicious, since multicore efficiency went way down in Cinebench. Instead of a speedup of like 3.8-3.9 we're seeing 3.6ish on Phenom II for whatever reason.
yep i have been doing 1066 with 4 dimms populated 2 x 2gig and 2 x 1 gig, all running at 2.1v dimm, and stack vcore on CPU and CPU NB, i had to add .1v to my CPU and CPU NB for my 9850 to take 4 dimms, even then i would get the odd BSODQuote:

I was watching temps, and that is what I started with. I will try large sometime. I already put it back under water. I just wanted to see if I could clock as well on air.:)Quote:

I tried backing off the FSB to DDR2-800 with the same timings that work at 960MHz, and tried to push the CPU up to 3.7GHz but it was not stable, even with 1.6V on the CPU and 2.6V on the other BIOS setting (that starts with 2.5V, I forget the name!) Just to be absolutely sure I am going to keep it at 3.6GHz on the CPU, 2.4GHz on the NB, with 1.4V and 1.3V respectively as stated in my signature. Memory was also not stable up past DDR2-960, looks like I found all the limits I can, and will just have to be happy with it. I was really expecting more though.

CPU-Z validation link please.Quote:

I think I solved my BSOD issues:cool:
There seems to be a hotfix for the 0x00000124 BSOD's which will be in SP2. It's some issue between multiple PCI(-e) cards or so:shrug:
Anyway, what Ive done past days is got my RAID card working (I had to enable SATA controller in BIOS?), fixed BSOD's and got a stable OC:cool:
Ran 6h Prime Blend last night without errors, did a 10 run Intelburntest where the 9th run shown instability, all the other runs were good. I assumed this might be the IMC so changed it to 15 and did a 15 run after and no errors at all.
Maybe Ill give it another try in a while but for now Im more than happy:cool:
I do not have one for that particular speed. However, just messing with the multi I have one upto 23x. Although, I found there to be much stability to be gained by keeping the multi low and the bus speed high, which was what I was playing there to see what I would need for a high cpuz run! Now, it's time for some volts and some bus speed!Quote:

That's on stock volts ? & what cooler?Quote:

Why not just try with 2 sticks? Only takes a second to pop them out. 4 sticks puts alot of stress on the IMC. What do you do on your computer that requires 8gb of Ram?Quote:
