Yes the tessellation test in Unigine heaven 2 has an advantage for Nvidia because they perform tessellation using Cuda and can assign more card resources than they would be able to in a game where...
My NB Frequency is stable at
2665 Mhz at 1.225 volts
2870 Mhz at 1.375 volts
I'm going to stay at 2665 for 24/7 usage.
Yes I am still trying to get more. I have tried with NB VID voltages ranging from 1.1 - 1.4 volts and memory speeds ranging from 800Mhz - 1125Mhz. I also tried the 16 - 20 x Multiplier raising the...
HDZ965FBGMBOX = c3 in UK.
HDZ965FBG 'M' BOX - M is the new revision old revision will be BGI. They are also labelled 125 watts instead of the old 140 watts.
Yes I was testing properly. I have been overclocking AMD CPU's since Athlons. I am stuck at 3.9 GHz doesnt matter how I get there. I am going to start working on NB Frequency now.
It isn't so...
I really don't like the F6 BIOS it causes instant shutdowns when changing from 800 to 1066 RAM divider and saving settings. When changing from 800 - 1066 the first time the motherboard powered off...
It automatically updated the backup BIOS for me after I installed F6 on the first post. It is the first time I have seen it do this though. I don't know how to manually force it to backup.
I got one today. So far im a bit disappointed with it. I upgraded from a Phenom II 920 which I had running 24/7 at 1.425 volts 3.5Ghz.
The main reason I upgraded was because I wanted to switch...
My current system configuration is as listed in signature. I have been trying out the IGP to drive my 2nd monitor using Surroundview but I have some questions that I am unable to find the answers. ...
Yes I agree the winner of this auction will probably not even use this CPU. There is also a good chance AMD are bidding on it as its good advertisement I have already seen this story posted on many...
It is probably the memory divider. Before the upgrade you were running in the 800 memory divider ?
Something like 257 x 14 = 3.6GHz
2:1 ram ratio = 1028MHz RAM
Which was fine when you had...
The next cartoon in this series is about how a True quad core I7 is so much better than two dual cores stuck together.
Did you check your process manager to see what applications were using what % of the CPU.
If I was getting random freezes I would first look at the disk then the RAM the CPU is less likely to be...
I was running my 920 at 3.5Ghz 24/7 also but I had to back off when I changed to Windows 7 recently to 3.45Ghz as it seems to bring up some instability which I think is coming from my soundcard...
F4v has been released Link
Looks like just a new processor support update.
I dont have time to try it until saturday because I have exams :(
The DFI JR 790GX M2RS is a really nice board but the BIOS was very buggy so I sent my one back after a week. They might have improved the BIOS by now though.
I think F2 would be better for you. The F3 and F4 series seem to favour Phenom 2 and many have reported reduced overclocking results on older CPU's.
Yes the F4a only has NB multiplier up to 9x now which is a shame but auto setting sets 10x which is ok with the high bus speed im using. It could be a problem for people using stock Bus speed though....
I could not see a TLB reading in AOD or setting to change it. CrystalCpu doesn't read the phenom 2 correctly because it hasn't been updated in a while and the TLB_Disable program does not support...
No but it should be automatically disabled with the Phenom 2 and with the Phenom 1 you can use CrystalCPU http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=171105
Raising the HT Link frequency doesn't help a great deal with performance as long as it wasn't really low to begin with.
The NB frequency is what provides performance increases. Raising that to...
Just installed AMD OverDrive 2.1.6 and it works with the F3o BIOS and phenom 2.
AMD OverDrive™ Utility 2.1.6 (2009-2-11) Update list:
1. Added DDR3 memory support
2. Enhanced CPU temperature...
Fair enough ;)
Chew I am testing ACC on my Phenom 2 now to see if it makes any difference to my CPU seeing as you had some success using it. Can you tell me what setting you used? At the moment...
After ATI 'fixed' the newer drivers to no longer work with modified clocks that unlock the 700 Mhz core limit I started using ATI tray tools to overclock which allows up to 937Mhz with overdrive...
