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

[wiak]

so is it possible for this baby to hit 3Ghz on stock volts?

i think so
it does like 3.2-3.4ghz on 1.30-1.40v
so it depends, i have heard it will do 3ghz with minor voltage bumps

[KeZzZu]

Tony could you run Winrar bech thanks
Also when i get the 9850 be i wont post any spi results just like you )
too much huzzle around pi and it really aint the speedo meter.

also does the ballistix 8500 models work on 1066mhz ? thought i havent got them running yet on that divider using 113 bios on k9a2 plat.

Of course. AMD demoed 3GHz sample months ago. But it is very difficult to find such sample. It's like winning the lottery. Tony is very lucky dude. Maybe he should start playing lotto.

[KeZzZu]

Oh btw kte screened 3.1ghz on other thread with his 9850 be

[wiak]

Here is x264 HD Benchmark

Congratz!

[Piotrsama]

Any results from those bad boys yet ryba?

Yes, some posts later he said:

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

[trueblue]

......
The fact is I now have 1066 working well on 2 boards even with 2x2GB dimms, the new B3 processor allowed me to use a lower vdimm on the 8000Reaper X over the old B2 and im confident 1066 improves performance enough to warrant releasing a special product for this processor.
......

Tony,

How much of a performance increase over 800 ddr2? ( I just bought 2x2g OCZ )
Will OCZ be able to release 1066 ddr2 that runs at 1.8 V? Will memory have the extra paging capability?

Nice job on the phenom. Could you run some SciMark 2.0 benchmarks? I am more interested in number crunching than gaming benchmarks.

Thanks

You would hope it would be significant considering AMD seems to have focused on memory bandwidth so much.

anyways, wicked overclock. Hopefully the 45nm shrink will give us a 3.5GHz SKU, give Intel a serious run for its money!

on the other hand, denabs gonna be here after nehalem huh, GG AMD.

unfortunatly my 9850 is not being so friendly!

unfortunatly my 9850 is not being so friendly!

i think it would be helpful to start a steppings database thread

Hey, mAJORD whats your idea of not being friendly? What will it do and what wont it do beyond?

[mAJORD]

WEll I haven't gotten too down and dirty with it, but..

on air:

2.7 on stock vlts (1.3), (multi adjustments)

(same using small htt bump from a 13 multi.)

And doesn't seem to respond well to voltage, so the likelyhood of it seeing 3ghz on water is looking low.

[B.E.E.F.]

This is awesome. I never thought the Phenoms were all that great, until now.

[Brother Esau]

Dude above your Avatar looks like the Pope on Dope

[Jimmer411]

So which is a better mobo, the DFI or Giga 790FX?

[Brother Esau]

@Tony could you please tell me what the CPU-NB Vlotage setting in PWM is for and what its function is please? Also what kind of relevance does it have on clocking Phenom with the DFI 790FX

[informal]

Great Thread!Good too see B3 OCs well .Now ,knowing AMD,they will tweak the hell out of B3 until Shanghai arrives in Q3/Q4.We may even see 2.8Ghz 125W chips before 45nm parts ship.

CPU-NB is the memory controller, its on the same die as the CPU core but it is seperate...treat it like the NB on an Intel rig but in this case you can adjust the frequency as well

Sunday update:

Got a small amount of time today, so decided to run stock vcore and see how high I can clock the CPU, currently first test is at 3GHZ CPU and 2.5GHZ NB, 4GB 8000Plats at 1.9V DDR2 1000 5-5-5-15.

Water temp in my loop is 8C and the phenom is puring along with temps reported in AOD at 26.5C load.

Now I know my water temps are pretty cold, but we should get a relative idea about how high this CPU should clock and at what voltage.

Also im 1500+ words into a guide for Phenom, for those looking to learn how the CPU is different to Athlon and how to clock it. Its not overly technical and should explain most of the basics and the rules you have to abide by.

Regards benches, guys I have limited time, I will do my best...I will add some stuff to the article and post some here.

gimme url to where you will put that article
and 3ghz on stock vcore is nice

Too bad you don't have an air cooler for comparison. Mine needs ~1.325V/1.325V for 2.8/2.2GHz on air with core temps around 50°C running prime95.
I only have a reserator 1p beside the big typhoon, so air does the better job here.
Awaiting your result however

[Tony]

Air cooling would be biased also, I have a workshop outside the house that is a LOT cooler than the house temps most see...

Presently its around 14C in the shop here air temps.

Update:

Everest stability test ran 1 hr at 3000MHZ CPU and 2500MHZ NB stock voltages, pushed to 3125 now CPU and still 2500MHZ NB again on stock vcore. Seems stable with 30C load temps

More soon

Dude where can I send money. I've already bought OCZ

Screw the benchies you've more then done your part.

What your working on is much more important then benchies we can run ourselves.

Thank you very much!

[Amey]

Very nice stuff Tony !
Its really good to see someone spend so much time on Phenom, usually when everyone is having fun with Intel chips.

3GHz on stock vcore is sweet. Maybe AMD did more than just fixing the TLB bug on these new revisions.

BTW Tony, i remember reading your post somewhere that using 2.2V + for VDIMM kills these chips, any more info about that ?
