Man, they only had this batch/week/OPN there when I picked it up, every one of them spare was this. It's the exact same coded one I had before, I have yet to boot it up and check what the stock voltages/te,mps/power/vid are and if it reacts the same as my other one. Would be a very good checkup for "this stepping/week/OPN is [insert comment]" don't you think?

Also, both of these had a 2mm^2 dull metallic rough spot looking like a "pencil smudge" in the middle of the IHS. Did anyone else get something like this with their Phenom?

Hmm.. I wonder why though, the SB600 has given more problems than the Promise.

Don't plan to really.. you don't want to know, do you?

I need Admin to restrict me from posting unless I can verify a 3GHz Phenom. Maybe then I can actually start trying with this.... although that time may never come on earth unless I swap my C2Q in there somehow


Thanks Swanie. You can move the HT slider up though. Tried it yet?

(don't try above 2.6 HT, it'll lockup)

Have you tried lower RAM divider than 1.2.66 ? Do they work?
What about any other options like NB multi, NB VID, CPU VID, are they available in the BIOS like the older ones, or totally removed?

Same as the P0F and P0G then.

No options for most of P-State variables as we had before in the new BIOSes. Very few oc options now.

None of the 'Performance' BIOSes have been any decent for me since P0C. I wonder why this is.

Are you sure about this? Try P95 latest one which is 25.6 IIRC. I highly doubt anything will come near its power pull, load and hence what creates the high temps apart from Linpack. Orthos is IME 12W lower full load than P95 small FFT on the Phenoms with lower temps and easier to pass too, although it is supposed to be based on the same code, there are many bug and performance improvements with P95.

No idea about 1.2. 1.31 BETA was excellent for X2 when I tried it, better than 1.0 and 1.1.

Then we now know why it's BETA.

Try a stable release if you can instead but the temps/volts info should be provided with HWMonitor/CoreTemps perfectly anyway.

Well, it could be program incompatibility or just an incompatibility bug. Maybe they are both accessing and sharing the same resources, this can cause such freak behavior.


Hey Suosaaski, wlecome.

First the bad news...
Damn that is the exact chip I've had twice now and yes, those VID/Volatges will be pulling mega power. Almost the Quad FX again here.

Can you do something for me on Vista... at 2.4GHz run Super Pi Mod 1.5 XS 1M and post it back please.

(run it about 3 times before capturing ss of the last one)

All VId/DID options are gone in the new beta. I have tried that divider but my system don't boot. Running Mushkin as you know. The only time it boots with that divider is at default speed @ 1066mhz. Will try to play with the slider. got my machine to boot at 2760 and was running Prime the past 24 hours and all was ok but then tried 3mark06 and pc froze, then no boot
