Very good idea Likmark, but please take the picture of the hooker out of the first post.

Yes mister

List is finally updated

Edit: I've decided to keep the list in it's current form for now. Everybody feel free to supply further information in your posts, this way you can get the information you want from the users post.

As for the "stability" column, testing with prime95 does nothing else than test your cooling solution . Phenom is known to do great under prime95/Orthos/other programs stability testing one part of the cpu. Best advice for real stability testing is "regular" use and combinations of different programs running at the same time stresstesting different part like cores/nb/imc/dimm/gfx

[QuietIce]

I've always found getting validated results crunching SETI 24/7 is a great, long-term stability test. All nine of my systems over the past 2 years have gone through this routine, though none failed as badly as the last one. The Q6600 system I recently built passed the P95 test with flying colors but started turning in bogus SETI results after the first day of 4-core crunching. The only drawback was it took a week to get the results - but I can count on them being right!


I plan on stability testing my 9850BE the same way, P95 short term then switch to SETI after a few hours and wait for validation ...


(Dang! I didn't save a copy of the hooker pic! )

where are the stepping for those 3.4 phenoms

[Lightman]

9850BE JAAFB AA 0811BPMW here

I will post results on Saturday. You know - work ..

I'm back with some results!

So far:
* Fully stable under XP x64 and Vista x64 - 2708MHz@1.3V 2.2GHz NB@1.3V
* Bench stable Vista x64 - 2770MHz@1.35V 2.44GHz NB@1.3V

Increasing vCore gives me no gain. Now I will try to play with NB and HTT more

PS. My Phenom will post easily at 3GHz default vCore so there is a hope for 32bit OS...

[KTE]

Mine is a 3.4G stepping B3..

But stepping is not enough for it to achieve those MHz

Water cooling to come nexy weekend (I hope) so this may get better!

Model: 9850BE

1H Prime95x4 stable, currently testing with SETI but results for that take awhile ...

Suicide run for grins


Edit: Had to down-clock the CPU a hair due to heat but managed to straighten out the clock problems I'd been having so NB, HT Bus, and RAM are running 10X/10X/1:1.

hey quietice, nice results!

what r your other settings in bios such as...
NB volts?
NB freq.?
CPU VDDA?
HT Link Speed?
HT link volts?
ganged or unganged?

Forgot to take a screen shot so here is my 8 hour stable OCCT CPU temp.

[tbone8ty]

can u set individual cores in bios? or does it have to be in AOD?

[Ben_Brown]

Only in AOD I am afraid (at least on my board). Would be nice to be able to do it in the BIOS.

[QuietIce]

The ASUS M3A32 BIOS doesn't support individual core multipliers either, only through AOD ... :-/

CPU; 9850
Batch; forgot where I wrote it down it's an 0811 though.
Speed; 3.0ghz (and rising)
vcore; 1.375v

Cpuz validation; http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=354855
Cooling; Water.

F@H SMP 5.91 + 2x GPU-2 stable for ~3 weeks at 100% on all cores 24/7

yeah cause when i run prime 95 the 3rd cores always fails first.

[QuietIce]

Download AOD 2.0.14(beta) from ASUS - it works fine! Then you can fine-tune those core multipliers ...

[Brother Esau]

Very good idea LIKMARK now please put the Hooker and 6 Pack of Beer back on the 1st Post

Put 'em back. I refuse to post my wicked overclock until the beer and hooker are where they should safe and sound. lol

[Ben_Brown]

Does that work with ASUS boards only?

[QuietIce]

Does that work with ASUS boards only?

Tell the truth, I don't know. I'd assume it's the same version as all AOD v2.0.14 but ...

[JumpingJack]

This is the max today on the 9600BE:
Clock: 2.652 GHz
Vcore: 1.325 V
NB: 1800 Mhz
NB Votage: default
Cooling: Zalman 9700

http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=356256

I had, at one time, 2.72 G OC on this chip, but it has slipped over time (not uncommon for any chip). Could not get above 2.65 no matter the voltage or NB settings.

I will be putting the 9850 under the HSF soon, so I expect to get quite abit more. I will upate the post with all the revision information after I pull the CPU.

BTW guys - no idea if I mentioned it before but the voltage that counts for stable results is the loadline voltage, that's what is used to work out TDP as well, the Vdd after droop as it's the real voltage being fed to the cores.
