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

[kenofstephen]

my 1st trial run today,

air-cooled with Tower 120.

[Milans]

wow nice run. What mobo do you have?

J&W 790GX-Extreme

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.

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

better to stress with water cooling.

air...no...

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

[LIKMARK]

Very nice overclock

You have overclocked through AOD I reckon?

How does it overclock through bios?

[soundood]

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

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.

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.

are you sure because, what I read is it's better then some of the 780A boards.

Completely sure

[Rammsteiner]

Completely sure

Am I retarded or what.

So you recommend boards with a SB750 to OC well (or at least in AOD).

Then Devmonkey asks if you're sure because the SB750 board is better than 780a (I make out from this you actually said 780a board is better although you never named the 780a).

And then you confirm that the SB750 board is better, which you already said

Now did I miss like an invisible message here or

PS: Just now I thought Devmonkey might be about 780G chipset instead of nForce 780a? In that case I get the whole picture. RS780D is like... not a budget 780G/V chip but a high end chip. Just like RD790FX, but then with an IGP. That's why the RS780D is also named 790GX

If you refering to NVidia 780a then AOD is not officially supporting it as all other non ATI 7xx series chipsets

I'm not talking about AOD on Nv boards.

I'm taking over clocking over all.

well the beta and 2.1 give me loud screach like the old ones did. 2.0.17 was the best one for me so far. allthouh i use bios. but atleast on the .17 i didnt have to worry about hitting apply or ok LOL

[xixo_12]

how about max vcore and vdimm? can someone help me regarding it?

if crossfire, all is x16?

[kenofstephen]

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

try lowering the Vcore - perhaps heat is the issue

[Rammsteiner]

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

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!

so sb750 finally or not??

?? I said it must be with SB750.
