X4 PHENOM taken to 3GHz

[Sparky]

going off the OP, the chip is probably a lie, fake or cooled with something other than air.

He's not entirely, how can I put this, 100% accurate in his postings.

You see his pics of the setup there don't you? CPU-Z validation? What more do you want?

Nazu, I don't think we'll find out since he got banned (again).

Perhaps could you only say Watercool... instead of make you're nerve because a guy who was already banned, is still banned...

[sdsdv10]

excuse, i don't speak english very well.

What was the difficoult for overclock ?
Why have you used the Liquid cooling ? And why have you boot at 1.56V ?

lo squartatore,

I understand english isn't your first language, so I thought I would let you know the person who originally posted this message about the overclocked Phenom has been banned (not allowed to post) on this forum anymore. Therefore, I believe you will not be getting any answers to your questions. I've seen you post in the other Phenom threads, hopefully one of other Phenom owners will be able to answer them.

Hence why I said cooling method also

[akaBruno]

It's looking like a buggy bios issues for the most part. Heat could also be an issue.

27.5 sec Pi 1M

A bit off from his prior claims...

From the benches I've been priveledged enough to see the results of ()a 2ghz K10 will score around a 19sec 1M Pi time......at 3ghz approx 12secs.

[nullface]

The superpi 1M time is the same as my San-Diego@3120 :o(

Same at my 3700+ 2900MHz too, but it has clealy something to do with ram timings too, but still no match for Conroe/Penryn

[grunge100]

Perilander,

Please go troll in the intel section. I think this thread is informative. Keep up the good work MOFO.

who cares finally we start to see some real results

now someone else with a phenom come in here and use wpcredit

too bad i spent my whole budget (550€...) on a hyundai w241D and decided to stick with my opty 165 + 1900xt

[Sparky]

A bit off from his prior claims...

Memory timings messed up on his rig, really slow. Also maybe the other one was tweaked to death too, who knows, a lot of variables. But 12sec does sound a bit far-fetched, but then I also don't care much for superpi anyway.

[EvilBellyLint]

Yes but the 9500 is at 2850mhz with very slack DDR2 timings of 5,5,5,18,24,2t. Once the memory it tweaked down to 840mhz 3,4,4,12,18,2t and the cpu is at 3ghz+ then we'll see some nice improvements.

Also, a 3700+ at release was around 220quid for a single-core. I have 4 cores with virtually same power each for 155quid I ain't complaining.



yes you are correct. However this news is far bigger than me, or a trivial forum ban. You guys deserve to see that phenom is not a complete flop as many are suggesting. I just want to show people that like AMD and are curious as to phenoms performance that there is hope for a 3GHZ + phenom in the very near future. This is a B1 9500, so if I can get 3Ghz on a flakey bios within 10days of release I'm sure there is lots more to come

How retarded can this guy be? Try NOT saying you've been banned next time.

Umm yeah, especially since multiple accounts grants you a VERY long vacation.

[Chaos-Storm]

I gave up on the M2N-SLi at 250FSB mate. I believe this was as a result of not correctly applying the NB multi via wpcredit.

tic-tacs advice is correct in that a restart is required in order to apply the NB multi change, but I was forever entering my bios upon restarts and this cancels the NB multi change made by wpcredit.

AFAIK if you apply the NB multi drop with wpcredit on an AM2 mobo and perform a restart without entering bios, then as soon as you have rebooted to desktop check cpuz mem tab and I think NB multi change will be in effect. Then use AOD as I have to increase cpu fsb in small increments. I will have to confirm this myself in the next few days when I strip this rig down and move to 790FX. I'll pop the 9500 back in the M2N-SLi in order to see whether this is infact the case or not. Unless ofcourse someone else manages to try it in the meantime.

Very good to know. May inspire me to continue my own phenom overclock tests

[akaBruno]

Pisses me off that the platforms aren't ready.

But, who's fault is that?

[Aussie FX]

A bit off from his prior claims...

Don't tell me that you're one of those who PLAYS superpi all day

This really irritates me, honestly what has superpi got to do with anything?
It's the most ridiculous benchmark I have ever seen.
So an E6600 beats a 6400+ by 100% in superpi, so it must be twice as fast.

Thanks for getting back to us Mofo

[darkorb]

who cares about SUPERPI?

Test in real games ffs

[Demo]

Is that a good result for the Phenom ( looks very bad to me )
Im just a AMD 3700+ user so im not sure if those results are good

[FireDemon666]

- @ Motiv:

Uh, look at the original post dude. He wasn't cooling it with air. He was using a custom H2O setup with a huge tank reservoir and garden hose for tubing.



- @ grunge100:

Uhhh, he wasn't exactly trolling. In fact, he WAS being informative by alerting the public that some of the information the OP posted might be a bit misleading...

[nguoisaigon]

I just want to ask that what clock is the WR of a phenom right now???? I have a phenom system that can do Super PI 1MB @ 2.9GHz. But due to some reason I cannot post it here.

You missed the point totally. The point is the fact that this guy is a proven liar. As a benchmark Superpi sucks, but that doesn't change the fact he lied about having seen any 12 sec Superpi from a 3GHz K10.

[JohannesRS]

well, despite the fact that he could have been driven into a lie at that time, that doesn't prove at all that he is lying now. At least unless many people try to WC the same config and get terrible results always, and that would be a prove of lye in this point.

Not saying that he shouldn't have been banned (or rebanned?) neither that he is not lying here. Just giving him an "in dubia pro reu". Please, don't get me wrong on this.

[STEvil]

He was a lying fanboy before the facts smacked him upside the head, thats about it.

Beyond that he's been banned for offenses including but not limited to multiple accounts. I'd stop discussing him, its not going to go anywhere.

For the last time its been posted here already 100 times,
The x87 math part of Phenom is exactly the same as K8, that part of the processor was not changed, only the SSE has been changed, Super PI doesnt use SSE, Real world apps like the tinker core from Folding @ Home use this part of the processor(X87), and K8, Beat C2D , And K10 does 2. Why would AMD change a part of the processor that they already Murder Intel @, Im pretty sure Daily Tech put up numbers backing this up.Its simple, Super PI is a quick hitter, C2D fills its pipe alot faster than AMD, but its a much smaller pipe, AMD has a fat pipe it takes a lil longer to fill, Super PI likes the smaller pipe better, Phenom will kill Intel at Memory Intensive stuff, If the data set doesnt fit in Intels cache, AMD wins! If it does fit in the cache Intel wins, Ive seen this posted on many Super Computer forums, where people are doing real work on clusters, not Running bench marks.

My thoughts exactly. SuperPi should be burried deep under ground , or re-write a new one from ground up that fully supports the new multi-cpu's. Heck , even P4 still gets better numbers in superpi then K8. But what about 99.9% of all other applications. All those who think superPI is the chit then you're the weak link. Goodbye.
