Wow, 2.9ghz very nice.
Now i am hit a wall at htt 235mhz, 2.58ghz cpu. Please help me to go over it.

Very high VDIMM there Lightman. I would never run that on D9's, known to die with only 2.25V continuous and 2.3-2.35V bench. Some experience here. Its shows bandwidth falls with higher timings on Phenom regardless of DDR2 speed though, lower timings at lower MHz wins the day. 400MHz has higher bandwidth/lower latency.

Well, I was running D9GMH@2.3V for almost one year, but that was Value DDR2-533 DIMM. Might be that PCB makes a difference and high performance PCBs are exposing D9GMH chips more than cheap ones...

For daily basis though I'm running them @2.15V 950MHz... (well cooled as well)

I've read your other post and TBH it surprised me that D9GHM can do 1200MHz 4-4-4 with only 2.2V.... Never saw this before, not form my samples at least

Regarding Bandwidth vs Latency I can only agree with you here

I'm afraid you have got similar Phenom sample to mine then
same symptoms...

Try 10x238HTT with 8x or 7x NB and 1400HTT (or in never BIOS 7x for HTT)
If it will boot up then it's same as mine! (Which means BAD)


@mAJORD:

Fantastic results!
How much volts you needed for 2.9GHz?
Normal AIR or chilled water?


Congrats for your achievement!
