Yesterday, I managed to push my 9600 to 2909 MHz with air cooling (zalman 9700) with MSI K9A2 Platinum. Since I don't have much experience with AMD, I cannot manage to push it any higher. It's been a long time since I use an AMD system. I didn't know about the software that use for overclocking in Windows like AMD Over Drive or memset. So I stop with MSI mainboard at FSB 253 - 2909 MHz.



Today, I tried with Gigabyte MA790FX-DQ6. Since Gigabyte provide Easytune 5 Pro so I have a little bit better with Gigabyte mainboard. I can push the 9600 to FSB 263 - 3035MHz. Other components are the same, only the mainboard is changed.

Tomorrow I will try again with MSI K9A2 Platinum and a sample board base on RD780 chipset from J&W. Hope I will get the ASUS M3A32-MVP series soon.
