Overclocking made easy, Phenom 9850BE @ 790GX @ AMD Overdrive Extreme

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j2...phen/3400a.jpg

my 1st trial run today,

air-cooled with Tower 120. :)

wow :) nice run. What mobo do you have?

J&W 790GX-Extreme :yepp:

I can't believe it is so easy to overclock the Phenom 9850BE to such clock with this board.

Wait, what? (feels like cold water to the face)

Nice overclock, is that 4 core load stable? Voltage seems a bit dangerous though.

passed an hour test built-in with the tool. :cool:

Try prime95, the AOD built in is not the best of all stress tests. Nice OC though regardless.

Nice. :) Maybe AMD wasn't making stuff up after all when they talked about better Phenom overclocks.

better to stress with water cooling. :p:

air...no... :D

790GX..... Does that board have the SB750 Southbridge?

Seems like I read that it did... :D

It is a MUST to ship with SB750 :yepp:

Very nice overclock:clap:

You have overclocked through AOD I reckon?

How does it overclock through bios?

w00t:D.

Did you try that Phenom on a SB600 board before by any chance so we know there's a real difference or you just have a good CPU:p:

Also did you get this board for preview or anything like that? Or did you really buy it? Cause if that's so, I hope we can expect them really soon then:D

However, as others said, better use Prime95 to test stability there. AOD stability test is really worth :banana::banana::banana::banana: all.

possibly because of good PWM design, I don't know. :)

nice clock matey,

but i would hold back on that Vcore, @1.55v i found the Phenom stable but the heat under load (with water) just kept getting higher, slowly but surely.

i dont think you can get the Vcore above 1.45 -1.50v without this problem,

what version of AND Overdrive are you using? i see beta in the info bar? new beta?

EDIT: found the beta: http://downloads.guru3d.com/download...a60f2028038472

i shall give it a go

Heh, what has that do with my post:confused:. I dont get it:p:

But did you buy this board or did you get to review it early? And did you use your Phenom on a different motherboard with the SB600 as well? If that is so, does the SB750 fixes all the problems that are on the SB600?

Thx in advance:D

PS: One of the very first motherboard manufacturers besides the Quantum Force from Foxconn to post their SB750 boards in their product list. Looks like they added -Ultra to the boards with the SB750, they fixed AMD 790X, 790FX and RS780D:D Aren't J&W and Jetway more or less the same anyway?:confused:

to save time, I pulled the vcore to maximum available in the ODE tool.
I believe it can be lowered a bit,
just I don't have time to fine-tune.

but under Tower 120 I didn't see the temp. keep going up.
at 65C it became stable and benched for an hour.

by the way, I tried the same vcore for 3.5GHz.
not stable anymore.

honestly I didn't try on other boards.

J&W and Jetway are 2 separated companies, no relationship in between. :)

try lowering the Vcore - perhaps heat is the issue

Very good point. Next time please dont just drop in 10MV of Vcore, OC'ing takes time;).

Also could you try to OC with purely HTT? Im curious whether the HTT OC'ing is finally fixed now, and of course what we might expect from it:D

NO NO NO don't do any of that.

DO the following instead:

1. Box up the motherboard.

2. Ship it to me.

3. Profit!

It kinda sucks to see many websites using the AOD i leaked and not give credit to my website or myself, i've seen this in a couple of "websites" already. They didnt even put it on the news but they sure used "my file".

For AOD to overclock a lot you need RD790+SB 750 or RS780D+SB750 with a Black Edition Phenom.
