Playing around again, heres the setup:
Phenom II 965BE C3 CACAC AC 0945DPBW #N#####N#0662 - Lapped
Sunbeam Core Contact Freezer
Gigabyte 890GPA-UD3H - thanks to brian (chew*) and Simon (64NOMIS)
2GB Crucial Ballistix CAS 8 DDR3-1600 D9GTS - thanks to Angelo (chispy)
2x Western Digital Caviar Black RAID 0
OCZ 700w GameXStream
19c ambient...kinda chilly in here for my tastes.
We will start the evening off with SuperPi 1M:

Looking great!
great start,cant wait to see how far you can push your new setup Beep.
are you planning on trying WCing in the future?
Great results Beep...:up:
your new toys seem "juicy"...keep up pushing:D
he mentioned in an earlier thread that he wanted to go with wc setup.

wPrime was supposed to be posted but my score was rubbish. I'll try again later...
Heres my highest moderately stable, it fails right at the one hour mark. Temps are just borderline... http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/3706/155v4040.jpg
But I'm running 4.11 @ 1.55 and 2.8 NB in my sig, it does all my games, whatever else I do...cant run Prime95 for one minute though XD

4.5 is surely there....
BTW thats one core but NB was @ 2.86-ish
I already beat my old mobo on validating by 50 Mhz and about 80 Mhz stability.
Nice RAM Timing you got there
nice Beep, lapping maybe help u too.
Very good results, and that's on air! :up:
Good job, keep tweaking it! It seems like this board is better for OCing, huh?
Yeah, it's quite a bit better. I'd assume the BIOS'es still need work though I'm really suprized that I've not found one bug in this F4 BIOS yet. :yepp:Quote:

I havent played with any voltages other than CPU_NB, CPU vcore and DDR3 yet. Gonna try CAS 6 or at least tighten timings even more and run 1M again. Theres more in this, I have a pic from a faster run. :P
VERY nice Beep!!
I'm really glad to hear they fixed the voltage tuning options, .1v was just way too coarse....
Have you done any stability testing yet or are ya still just looking for highest valids?
Yeah, while temps are a bit better I'm still limited by my heatsink.
4 Ghz @ 1.52v is stable, 4040 Mhz with 1.55v is for the most part stable and I'm outta headroom. Were temps down another 3-4c I might be saying 4.1 Ghz stable but 4.11 (sig) @ 1.55v is fine for gaming and about every task I need as long as temps dont push over 50c. @ 4 Ghz / 2.8 NB idle is about 33c
Try it on ln2 ;) gurantee you will find a preety good bug for sureQuote:

I get the feeling that unless you go very cold electromigration may be coming into play on these chips at higher voltages.
If it makes you feel any better, theres NO WAY I can get my IMC Prime Stable above 2650 (on either chip), reguardless of how much voltage I throw at it.
How's the new board so far Beep? I'm willing to jump the 890 wagon as soon as more FX boards show up :) I see very nice clocks on the ram! Are you cooling them as well with a vent?
@ Daveburt714: LOL on water and with enough voltage I'm sure I could do 3000 24/7. I can cold boot 2950 on air :shrug: 2820 is stable @ 1.375v
The DDR2 UD4P was giving me trouble on NB clocking on all of the BIOS'es, I could bench high-ish around 3000 @ 1.45v but for 24/7 I couldnt go past 2600.
Nope, the RAM was running passive @ 1.95v...(could actually be borderline safe for 24/7).Quote:

I couldnt get CAS 6 nomatter what I did, not even at 1600 at any voltage. The board just doesnt post.
did you try it with lower dividers?Quote:

Gigabyte 890GX 890GPA-UD3H - SidePort Memory @ 1600 1.64v

Push HT Link clock higher and you will see a nice bump on IGP scores... :yepp:Quote:

600 mhz more ht link = 300 ( 275 whatever! lol ) points more? that's good scaling.
890 GPU core to 950 also ;) 890 _ 2000 vs 950 _ 2700Quote:

The 4850 is in, having CPU issues atm, and the system refused to POST 17 times before now. I reset CMOS 11 times.
Im in Wondiws Vasti right now under Cat 10.3 and I'm gonna clock it for a bit of 3D. I know it still does ~750 core and the mem is just as good as it was.
3D Results look good on this board, I've been tuning 3DMark06 all day:
http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/7...503dmark06.png
All my problems with my 4850 seem to have dissapeared on this board...
The VRAM is voltmodded, but it artifacts above 1175
Seems the 890GX is a good board. I bought the 945 because I wanted a 95watt version with the 790X UD4P. Haven't really pushed it yet.
New Personal Best:
3DMark06 - 17244 - GPU: 4850 @ 820 / 1170

I love this board.
Uh,
What exactly is lapping?

PS: When you become the next billgates as seeing your 14 and know 10x as much as me.
Put my name on something ok?

Sanding sounds a bit more obvious to me.

A noticable difference lol
wow Big difference, how far do you go with lapping the CPU?
how about taking out the IHS totally???
similar to this
http://forums.overclockersclub.com/A...de-t61534.html
IIRC they are soldered on the Phenom II's, so its a bit trickier to remove than on the old A64/opterons.Quote:

Since below the IHS is copper, wouldn't a copper heatsink conduct heat better than, IHS to copper?
I mean, Copper to Copper vs IHS to Copper
The copper heatsink and copper cpu would transfer energy more effeciently?
...i guess copper is more expensive???
& more resistive to laser markings???
When you lap or remove the IHS.
How do you go about mounting your heatsink back on it?
Just put some AS5 on the chip and set it down?
Regards,
^ i guess same as you did twith the old Athlon XP CPU's just be careful not to chiped it
