some first AMD Deneb teasers on Foxconn A79A-S 790FX

[diekul]

Is cpu-z right about the voltage?

[LC_Nab]

Is that on Air or WC ? thats still awesome !!!!

[crazydiamond]

man them things really like being cold... i think i might go to water on it, ill have to see how my xig s1283 does on it first.

[FatAlbert]

nice score SoF

have you got any system pics ?

[Caveman787]

Putting 2 and 2 together....I think it's under dice guys.

Since he just got a bunch of it.

maybe that was in another thread I was reading...

god so many deneb threads in here to keep up on it gets confusing.

[SoF]

yeah it's DICE - system here albert


quick 32m here - it goes higher until 1.7V. for more LN2 would be good, this likes cold as hell. I am running against a wall around 5 gig but still awesome



validation not possible again like on my old Phenom

Darn that sadens me weirdly, I had hope for seeing 4.5 on water if it takes dice to reach 4.7 that seems unlikely.

LC Nab you have to consider the fact we've seen 4.0 and 4.2 floating around on AIR. Water tends to add a couple hundred more mhz.

[LC_Nab]

Yeah I thought you could reach 4.x or near five ghz on water T_T .

[tictac]

try set ht link to 5x or below see if it clock any higher on that dice

[crazydiamond]

im thinkin 3.6-4.0 on air, 4.1-4.5 on water, 4.6+ dice etc

the V's he used on 4.7ghz seems like they could be reasonable under good water from what weve seen on pI and what weve been hearing about temps on pII

[LC_Nab]

Mmm maybe on the new dragon setups watercooling the NB and SB could be a must if you plan to OC the heck out of the deneb . Or i could be wrong but still I would wc them both just in case

[crazydiamond]

ya the nb at least, i think it would be pretty hot if it kept enough V's to stay @ ~2500-2600 24/7

[SoF]

try set ht link to 5x or below see if it clock any higher on that dice

I know that but A79A-S does not have option for HT 1.0 - in overdrive 6x is the lowest I can set and it does not help that way. You need real 1.0 - but I'll get a new bios soon as it seems

[crazydiamond]

but I'll get a new bios soon as it seems

probably very soon, they just put the new bios up for the a7da-s day before yesterday

I hope foxcon can fix it on the new bios...


Anyway this is the old method we change the ht link with wpcredit for AMD K10 processor

Awesome teasers SoF, thanks for sharing
I'm just wondering about the temp's, isn't there supposed to be a coldbug @ ~ -70°C without ht 1.0? You seem to be somewhat lower if I'm not mistaken.

[merkk1]

Sof that 5.04 without being able to use ACC right ? . If that so that a dran good overclock without any acc help .Hopefully that will be fix with the new bios up date.

[SoF]

as far as I know you don't need ACC for better oc anymore. I have a friend doing a bit better than me on Destroyer - 300 HTT ACC is off all the time. thanks for the hint tictac.

[FatAlbert]

SoF, hmm picture shows 2xradeons

did you tried some 3d marks ?

hmm, it's good to hear acc isn't important for oc

destroyer - goood mb

[SoF]

Yeah I have 06 at 4620mhz until now - does good in some benches but I need a third card. think I will make myself a christmas present

[FatAlbert]

there are scores for people (like on c2q) or much lower ?

tell us please

[Lightman]

SoF, add to your Christmas presents list better DDR2 memory please
420MHz and only 5-5-5?? get something which will do 3-3-3

[FlanK3r]

SOF:what is your best OC Air on Phenom II? Is possible, on ASUS M3A-T Deluxe about 4200-4300MHz?

[Macadamia]

Darn that sadens me weirdly, I had hope for seeing 4.5 on water if it takes dice to reach 4.7 that seems unlikely.

LC Nab you have to consider the fact we've seen 4.0 and 4.2 floating around on AIR. Water tends to add a couple hundred more mhz.

Phenom II is rather special in this aspect.

It likes cold but it doesn't really like voltages (you need some to push, but cold, not voltages, will get you clocks)


So Phase and TEC+WC will yield really nice results, Phase on 5++?

[SoF]

I am getting crazy about the validation issue again ^^ tried to do a save 4.8 but still rejected...
http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=465574 I think I give up with CPUz and do some wprime under vista now
