Playing with Foxconn A79-S, Phenom 9950 and CrossFireX for G|C

[SoF]

Hi there,

I did not overclock AMD for a long time but preparations for Games Convention in Leipzig/Germany making me testing Phenom this week-end with CrossFireX

Board is Foxconn A79-S wit 790FX chipset & SB750 Southbridge.



Bios has some room for improvements but all in all it is not that hard to overclock it so far. Maybe I will try a little cold on it to see where coldbug is.

All the pots, cards and CPUs from me for G|C - giorgio will bring at least the same amount of things and we will have a great time for sure from 21.08.-24.08. in Leipzig


All in all I have 4x HD4850 to test but no Vista yet



First benches on air 3260 MHZ CPU, some issues when clocking the cards just 5 MHZ higher - I am still trying to figure out how to solve that. Core 1 & 4 are good, 2 & 3 won't pass 32m with this setting. The board allows to clock the cores separately what I am going to try right now.



regards
SoF
