If you're looking for some repeatable Linux benchmarks, here they are.

I've ran many [automatic] benchmarks, haven't been able to merge the total results files yet but they're all uploaded - you'll find them all under my username. Here they are.


Stock Volts on all hardware
2000MHz NB, 2000MHz HT, 800MHz 4-4-4-12-20 RAM Unganged









































Hows that?
I'll try running more - the Kernel compile benchmark placed the highest load I've seen so far on Phenom.

The one that needs to be adjusted via P-states. so that would be CPU NB

And when I sead "OC to be enabled all the time" I meant via BIOS settings, not by program like bar_edit, but you are correct, bar edit would be an easy way to check the nb multi.

I know what you meant but you wanted to "check" if lower NB multi gives you any more stability and I mentioned an easy and quick method to do so with that. If it works you can then flash 1.13b which most of us use, and that will give you NB multi options back so you can use it in the BIOS. If you want such options, you will have to learn them though, they are not difficult, they just need time spent on like with anything - probably 30 minutes maximum for a learner.

I'm not sure what NB VID is stock on your CPU, open AMD Power Monitor and it will mention it.
