Could B3 Phenom be the rebirth of AMD....+1000MHZ OC done!

[afireinside]

Any chance we could see a 1m run closer to 3.5? Seeing 3.5 in the first post then a mere 3.2 for 3d is somewhat disappointing AMD needs to step up.

[AgentGOD]

you asking about the board?..MA790FX-DQ6

He's talkin' about the DFI board mate

[JumpingJack]

uhhh ..... i mean more like what is in my sig ( cabze 0631 cpmw ) why would i need him to take off the block to see what cpu-z tells me? lol

Oh... you don't mean stepping but batch date.

[AgentGOD]

Oh... you don't mean stepping but batch date.

Back in the good ol' days of Socket 939, we called them "steppings".

Check my sig for a great example (Opteron 165).

I thought he made it pretty clear he has no interest in running SPi. Is there some reason why so many are repeatedly requesting this? Is there something in particular you are looking for?

[Oldguy932]

Well I can say for sure I'll be getting the 9850 to go with my vapo. So that'll be $250 more spent on a phenom and a total of $1000 spent just tweaking phenoms since their debut. If it doesn't do well under cold I'm gonna be and ...

[Brother Esau]

you know everyone wants me to do this and that, the exercise was to get 1066 running well...not run pi etc

I don't use pi, see no need for it, so won't be posting it...sorry m8

Please stop asking Tony to do this, he has expressed this about 4 times now.

[Tony]

Yes they look for fuel to bring down the thread with why run this at this speed when c2d runs this etc...im not interested

[Loser777]

Again? Were you using the DFI M2R or M2RS?

[Brother Esau]

Tony check your PM M8

Sorry man M2R...don't shout at me

To ALL

Im running at 3.2 as its EASY, I don't have time to tweak the tits out of this CPU tonight to get it stable at 3.5 for 3D. Its already 2:14am and im back in the workshop about to run cinebench 10 for ya.

I have a feeling I will get 3.5 3d stable, the issue is the NB frequency has to rise along with it to keep the performance good...this takes time.

[Loser777]

I merely put the DFI in bold... THIS WOULD BE SHOUTING

[Schneider]

Is it still difficult to pump the L3 Cache/NB clocks?
Are you keeping the HTT clock ~ 2Ghz or keeping it closer to NB clocks?

[Tony]

playin with lots of things...the issue is time today, I need 3 to 5 days to get this CPU sweet but I have a ton of other things to do

Just like SuperPi some don't understand that either

Anyway great job Tony and something or anything positive to cast AMD back in a favorable light in the Intel Frat House is a big plus

[aGeoM]

Oh... you don't mean stepping but batch date.

CPU-Z call it Revision DR-B3, Everest call it Stepping B3 that's why I'm confused

Anyway, Revision/Stepping/Batch or whatever, maybe it's not so important for expected OC capability, like in Rev./Stepping B2 Phenoms.
Soon(I hope), you will see mine in my Sig.

[MaSell]

What you think, those b3 unlocked babies will like -100'c cascades ?

Give me few days... ok, few hours ;]

[Tony]

Cinebench 10

[flippin_waffles]

Props for all the work Tony! Must be gettin damn tired by now though. Get some sleep so you can hammer away again tomorrow!

[VulgarHandle]

BT, any chance when you phase this baby, will you test 'higher' temps, say around -30?

[ryba]

Nope, two Phenoms and temps below -40/-50 = platform can't boot

[tictac]

NIce clock on that B3... congrats

[MotF Bane]

I'm still puzzled about the voltage. CPU-Z in the first post claims 1.52, AMD OverDrive on page four shows 1.3 volts.
