Gigabyte MA790FXT-UD5 AM3 940 on Cascade

A chip came in from Texas and a few boards from elsewhere.

First up is the Gigabyte MA790FXT-UD5P

The chip is AM3 obviously.

Max vcore at -100c?
I plan to go straight up with multi to find max speed then tune from there.

Links for best OC tool to download?

I plan to test and tune on the 3 stage and then if all goes well, switch to LN2. I have 180L at the office now.

K10STAT does a pretty good job for the simple stuff and is lightweight+easy. AOD3 is more powerful, but your mileage will vary based on how well its hooks are implemented by the BIOS.

I too have this es chip+board.

For regular OCing, I would use the first two parts for stabilizing ram and CPU NB from chew*'s guide here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=240
It helped me greatly.

After that, tune the multi+voltage.

Fugger 1.80v - 1.90v Maybe + depends on the chip........

At -100 most chips won't scale over 1.7-1.8 V. 1.8-1.9 should only be needed under LN2.

Yah oops forgot going under cascade first. 1.7v is the happy zone for DI so go from there.

Damnit. My eyes aren't working properly.

I see an AMD rig, but I see Fugger's Avatar. Anyone else having this problem? :(

:p: G/L m8. Hope you reach the magic 6.5 :D

But Charles, I thought the triple stage could max out any chip? ;)

Gautam, i7 chip. AM3 scales with temp and with this low of temp it does not scale as far, just a FYI...

Fugger your bringing tears to my eyes, nice to see you playing with AMD and if my car gets snowed in tommorow in spring/almost summer I know why :D

I'm tired of your excuses.

Edit- okay, I'll quit it with the heckling now. I am looking forward to you running an AMD on LN2 though :D

Fugger, sure you're in the right section now?:shrug:

Good to see you in the AMD section man, expecting extraordinary results :p:

You could try out AMD OverDrive it's a half-decent tool, but it's absolutely worth it.

Ended up with a max all cores speed of 5Ghz, super pi locked to a single thread speed of 5.2Ghz scores 14s flat with spd timing

it must be that the earth collapsed and it happened that we are in the hell now :) Someone can hit me so I can see if I can feel any pain?

I suddenly get the urge to start overclocking my PhII-940 again. If Fugger and Movieman can find the time to overclock their Phenom IIs, then I can. I've only ever taken it to 3.5Ghz on air and never even bumped up the HT ref clock past 200mhz or the volts past 1.4! I also never even bothered to overclock my memory, yet I have 4GB of both Corsair Dominators and OCZ Reapers each to play with.

I've been slacking. Thanks FUGGER and Movieman for giving me the kick in the rear I needed.:D

I wonder if the Elpida's will do any better? Mebbe...mebbe not since you are not as concerned about Vdimm on AMD. What Vdimm are you running here?
