The Phenom II List of Overclocks

[Lastviking]

I am struggling with my X4 920.

DFI LR 790GX-M2RS Jr
2x1GB Kingston "Value" DDR2-800

No way possible to get HTT > 240 from Bios.
Well, after a couple of total bios/mb lock-ups I tried one Ballistix DDR2-1066 stick which made it possible to reach HTT=256 (3.58Ghz). Had to "bump" the VCOre to 1.475.
Bench-stable at that speed also.
Edit:
I have tried all types of "tricks" both in Bios and to use AOD to get HTT > 244 (black-screens/noboots after that).
Will probably get some new sticks to go for higher HTT (if it helps). I suspect this is a bios issue as it has no effect to set timings manually to very slow speed (1:1, 6-6-6-18 23 2T) to exclude ram from OC-issues.

I am very disappointed by the DFI mb.
I really thought "lockups" like this was something not to be expected on newer mb.
(Reminds me of Socket-A/754/939/478 days).
Only way to get the board to boot again was to remove/reinstall RAM, CPU and remove Bios-battery. (the "clue" was to reinstall the CPU to get it goin' again).
All newer boards (both for Intel an AMD) I have been used to lately are able to reboot after max 3 "stuck loops".
Or at least reboot after pusihng *external* reset-button (at least the latter is to be mandatory for a board of this type/price from DFI).

This is the highest stable so far (unimpressive to say the least).

Hmmm have you test any new bios?, Sounds wierd if you cant go higher....My Dfi 790FXB Dark works very well, do you have all settings shown in bios?(F9 if i remember right) , have you tested to change ram speed to 600/800?

Maybe you can get some good info from this thread.. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=208340

And also AOD dont works so well for me... so bios clocking is best.
