Phenom 9500 w/ MSI K9A2 Platinum

[KTE]

Hi guys. Thanks all, very appreciated.

I tried max total HT speed 9x (not reference) and max NB speed stock volts on HT but +0.12V on NB, first BIOS (1.0). I was able to get 2142MHz HT and 3094MHz NB. More than that is not stable stock volts and would freeze.

I've flashed new BETA BIOS v1.1B3 (113) after that, it gives many more options but it only boots at 11x138 1.52GHz all cores, NB at 1.8GHz, HT at 1.25GHz, RAM at 533MHz and all the meanwhile I have it set to 200x11, DDR2-800MHz, HT 2600MHz in BIOS.

Here it is what I'm running at right now (stock): http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/2979/messedat6.png

Also with this new BIOS ALL CPU-Z dumps fail: http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=276160

We can control CPU FID/VID and NB FID/VID now but CPU-Z does not recognize these changes and has problems with it. And with the new BIOS no OC is possible. It keeps reverting everything back to bootup values. I guess that's BETA for ya.

From what you are saying, ORB mentioned bugginess, and TechReport has some inputs on stability, my suspicion is that they still need a bit more time to get things in order, or perhaps this TLB bug is getting in your way... a lot of memory problems.

The BIOS is very buggy indeed because a) they don't run memory at above 1:1 and 1:2 while the options are there b) HT 3.0 speed is still not supported although option for 2.6GHz is there c) tRC of only 26 max means you can't run much above 1000MHz on RAM. New BIOS are even worse.

KTE,did you check out the latest clockgen?
I remember clearly 4 separate PLL sliders appearing in one review.I can't remember where i saw that,but i'm 100% sure.
If you are in position to try it out,please do and tell us what is going on.

I have it here but they stated no support for the MB yet. I need support for PLL ICS 9LPRS477.

one thing tho, could you use thumbnails? pls?

Can't use thumbnails, no option for them. But I'll just link to it instead.

REALLY nice job there ...although could u add the winrar single threaded benchmark?

Which version of Winrar do you want me to run?

My Phenom can boot easily @240HTT but only with 10x multi. Also I can put one core (core 2 or 3) @2640MHz with only 1.26V. The other 2 cores are weaker and 2550MHz is max at stock volts. But when I want to load all 4 cores at same frequency then max I can do is 2470MHz ! This is wired and any voltage adjustments can't give me single MHz more ...

Sorry about that mate. You're lucky you have HT options of upto 11x, we only had 5x until this BETA BIOS which gives us 9x but it still runs everything very slow so I can't really try any OC. My Core 3 is weaker than rest though.
Have you tried WPCREDIT and lowered NB to ~1400 and then tried going past those speeds?

What's the max volts and tRC you can have for RAM?

It really looks like this so called 'BUG' is showing it's nasty side

I ran some EVEREST/Pi tests at NB speed 2.6GHz and 3GHz and they were very poor, worse than stock so there's definitely something wrong on this platform.

anyway, I would like to ask one thing: what do you experts think about this new: http://forums.vr-zone.com/showthread.php?t=209123

I hope they get it out fast! I know I won't be waiting long.

Thank you to all.
