X4 PHENOM taken to 3GHz

[The-PHENOMATOR]

Well, I've been at this setup for a few days now and have finally managed to tame this 9500

MOFO64 presents the worlds first RETAIL oc'd B1 9500 to reach 3GHZ

Firstly I'd just like to say thankyou to all the people who msg'd me either through XFIRE or by email regarding phenom and my progress with this setup.
Had it not been for all of your encouragement and kind words I may well not have pushed myself to bring you this fantastic result

You know who you are

I saw OBR's review and OC attempt on the 790FX and think he perhaps needs to spend more time with head in pc case rather than behind camera

Now, what's the story I hear you ask..

Well.....I gave up with the M2N-SLi and switched over to the MSi 790X.

After many hours of trying lots of settings, MOFO is proud to announce that this phenom (and others aswell no doubt) can hit 3ghz (albeit very unstable).



following tictacs suggestion I use WPCREDIT to drop the NB mutli to x7 I managed to attain this OC.

Firstly due to this boards bios, I cannot access memory timings....only divider....however it detects my memory modules spd timings np.

There is also no NB multi access (dunno if there is supposed to be) so this is where tic-tacs guide helped enormously.

1...I boot with a FSB of 215mhz, 1.560v vcore, 1.40v NB, HTx of 3.

2...Once on desktop open cpu and use mem tab to check NB speed.

3...open WPcredit and change NBx to 7 using 00011B, apply,close restart.

4...allow system to restart but do not enter bios.

5...once on desktop again open cpu and check NB multi & speed are properly applied, you'll see they are.

6...Now I use AOD to increase cpu fsb slowly. Do not increase anymore than 2mhz at a time as 30mhz-40mhz increases can cause lockups

I've included a few screenies just for you guys.
