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

[By-Tor]

Anyone OCing a 9850 on a Asus M3A32-MVP MB?

I have reached 3 gigs, but was only stable enough for a screen shot.

At 2.8 it runs like a dream, but I would like to atleast run smooth at 3 gigs or better.

Does anyone know if I got a 9850 and installed Vista x64 SP1 would it force the TLB patch on me like it does for the older chips or would it recognize the 9850 doesn't need it?

When I patched SP1 over Vista x64 with my Agena 9600 it forced the TLB fix on me and I could not get it to disable.

Negative! Reinstalled Vista 32 Bit after a day or 2 with new Phenom B3 and with Fresh Install with SP1 Loaded and everything Sam2008 TLB Disable App is no longer needed with B3 Revision

Hello everyone. First of all congrats to tony for hitting 3.5!!
i have been watchin this thread since it started waiting for my activation to come through. Took ages!

i have been trying to overclock my 9850 on the m3a32 mvp deluxe board.

i can get 2.8 stable at 1.3v
i have now set it to 15 x 200 running 3.0 stable so far (fingers crossed) @ 1.45v
however under water cooling its running 40 idle and bout 48 load. from a cold boot its about 30.

when i lower the voltage it bsod's saying clock interrupt on secondary proccessor... (thought this was only on the b2's) but think it has something to do with voltage..

would like to go for 3.2 but doesnt look like its gona happen..

Looks like my 9850 isn't going to be reasonable with voltage at 3.0. All the way up to 1.53V it refuses to do 3.0. 2.9 is doable with a modest vCore bump. Would it help to raise the voltages on the other stuff even when I'm only overclocking the CPU? It seems to last longer at 3.0 when I do, but that doesn't make any sense.

Cinebench 64 seems to scale well

Just maybe that chip cannot do 3.0ghz too/

[Particle]

That is entirely the wrong attitude for an overclocker to have.

[Brother Esau]

Possibly but maybe realistic as well. "Shrug" send the chip to the Electric chair Being a Overclocker does not or is not permission to be a Fool on the same token either....think about it.

[Particle]

Working to get a higher overclock doesn't make you a fool. It just makes you a normal overclocker. If your method is to give up at the first sign of trouble, that's your prerogative of course. I don't think it entitles you to insult other overclockers who don't do the same, however.

[Brother Esau]

Sorry man I guess I owe you a apology because reading it kinda suggests something other then intended. All I mean is that more is not better meaning voltage and I see most on this forum seem to think they need to ram rod the voltage to get what they want which is foolish and voltage should be the last thing any overclocker thats sensible should reach for as the last viable option of course/ Anyway that was not directed towards you specifically so sorry If you were offended and iI mean that really I do

Hey Brother:

We know.

Just don't fry it. It aint worth it.

[Brother Esau]

Whats up Bruno Hey I mean well thats all that matters in the end right?

same here, and the "clock interrupt on secondary proccessor" is related to voltage i think
atleast after i 'ed

do you to have a memory settings bug?, like say if you set you memory timing in bios and then you have to reset bios to get it to boot?
mine @ 13.5x.2.7ghz/stockvolt/stockheatsink = idle 39-41.5c / 44.5-45.5c load / stable to :P
so i think everything under 45c is stable, if i oc it to 2.8 on stock volt it hangs for me, so then it gets hot if i push volt higher like 55-60c

lol

I hit 3.0 easy with no voltage bumps... i couldnt really go higher so i put my vcore at 1.56 to see what i could do.. then i got that bsod but my temps were still only 44c

[eleeter]

I dont understand why people arent overclocking their processors above 3.0 EASILY. Am i just lucky?

I must be lucky too, my 9850 runs @3Ghz on stock voltage. I didn't change the multiplier though, I upped the bus speed to 240, didn't think it would run like that but it does.

I'm testing it at 3.1 right now (13x240), I had to bump up the CPU voltage one notch otherwise it blue screens after about 5 minutes of loading all 4 cores.

[SkullCracka]

ok im up and running got prob with asus 790fx. with unknow device and onboard sound. it is shut off but hd audio keeps loading into DM. along with an unknown device.


but othere then that all good. 13,438 @ stock. 3dmark06

specs?

what other settings did you choose? thats strange cos i cant even boot above 2.8 with standard voltages.. have you changed the nb and sb voltages?

[w00dzy]

duno why my sig isnt coming up?

That's pretty neat.

Looks like the 9850 has a pretty wide spread on what they are reaching. My initial testing indicated that 2.9 was probably solid but 3.0 would take some work. After fighting with 3.0 for a day, I re-targeted on verifying 2.9 to make sure it was solid. After extended loads, 2.9 would cause the machine to reboot. Even the max voltage I was willing to use (1.50) wasn't enough to ensure stability. I fell back to 2.8 and reset to stock voltage. It apparently isn't stable either. So now I'm stair-stepping the voltage to see if I can get 2.8 to play along, but either way it's a bit disappointing to be fighting for a 300MHz OC when other people can do 3.0 or 3.1 at stock voltage and others 3.4 or 3.5 at voltages under 1.5.

I have to wonder if I just have one really gimpy core. If I can find a stable voltage at 2.8, I'll start boosting cores individually and see if any will do 2.9 by themselves.

@ eleeter: How long have you ran prime loops at 3.1? I've had mine be stable for up to four hours before showing its instability via BSOD.

Perhaps it's your NB that needs more volts?

[w00dzy]

when i lower my nb multiplier it doesnt boot, any ideas?

[KTE]

Yeah, 32b to 64b does in most apps. That's 2400 (multi) more than I get in XP 32b at the same frequency.

Yep, but hard to get most stable at decent speeds.

Whenever I've seen it, it's been a BIOS limitation - with one of my 9600BE it was a CPU limtation though.

[w00dzy]

thats a pain because i think its limiting my overclock.. well i could probably use less volts if i could use a mix between fsb and multilpier instead of all multi..
