Phenom 9500 w/ MSI K9A2 Platinum

Hehe, you know another thing... they mention all cores have one single voltage plane, which is completely wrong. All cores can have separate voltage planes.

But if only one core is under load all other cores run at p-state-0 voltage. So int erms of energy efficiency i see no benefit here.

It changes perfectly with mine, exactly to what its testing - it just takes a while to change. When its running stability test, load is too high to actually flick between screens or open anything else up. It jams computer for a bit.

I tried it twice first at 2.8/2.2. AOD always sets 1.25V vcore, 1.3V VID's and 1.8V for the mem. The system started counting up ref HT and froze at ~207MHz without increasing the cpu multi.
Next time i started at 2.5/2.0 and increased vcore to 1.3 and mem voltage to 2.1V. It froze at ~13x203.
After that and the freeze after over night prime95 during sandra latency test at 2.9/2.2 1.4/1.35V i decided to take a break for today.

On another note, I tested 2300 1.4v and guess what? It gave the same problem, froze idling. Which means it can't be clocking/voltage related... something else.

I'd agree with oldguy 1.4v is unreasonable high for 2.3GHz. The freezes seem to be more higher voltage/temp related that clock speed related.

You can write to the register directly right?

What register do you mean? I understand STC like that. If the temps exceed an given point the cpu generates an special interupt. Special software is needed to do the proper action (example: switch to a lower p-state or increase the fan speed).

Hmm just one 4pin 12V connector, did not expect that. Tried a phenom in the GBT780G yet? Watch the voltages in CPU-Z! I gave the cpu an +0.025V voltage plus and had voltages from ~1.29V (idle) 1.49V (load) at 2.8/2.2GHz. .
