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

[Nedjo]

Is there a DFI board with SB750 in the works?

Nice clocks Tony

more then one:
790GX:


And My favorite 790FX:


P.S
Albatron has the clone of DFI's 790GX model:

I heard somewhere that AMD had very little Boards based on there chipsets. And that everyone (manufactures) are putting all efforts to Intel based Boards. But it looks like there might still be some options.

[Calcifer]

that would be from anand or toms CHARGED. i dont see why any board manufacturer would not release for amd. sure intel is probably where 80% of the money is but amd will probably use this with there anti trust lawsuit with intel now cause they are focusing on getting working boards for nahealm (stupid name....)

Did you read my thread about upcoming AM2+ boards at all? Even AMD is about to release like 5~6 new boards
Biostar is about to release a few as well... Ive no idea what you're talking about

[charged3800z24]

I am not even sure how to pronounce the name....Any who.. I just read this over at Overclock3D is this correct?... Has anyone one heard of any Denab or any 45nm chip talk from AMD at Computex yet?

Ya I read.. that what I was getting at. It seems the web is flooded with "AMD is boring this year" bla bla.. But it doesn't apear to be true.. I am looking forward to the new boards. I am itchy to upgrade.

Oh. here is my 9600 BE screen shot...Ipowerweb finally came back online.

Unfortunately so much negative publicity has build up around AMD, or to be more precise – I has been build that people seams to take any bad, negative, or FUDicated info about AMD for granted. With that in mind it’s no wonder that this FUD about lack of interest for AMD platform with mobo manufacturers has overshadowed the fact that many new mobos for AMD are in production, or have been launched!

For example did you know that there are more than twenty mainboards based on month old NVIDIA chipsets… also basically there won’t be a known name in mobo business that will not have at least two models with SB750 in upcoming months…

Nedjo: I like the layout of that DFI 790fx/750 board. The only thing that would worry me a little is the onboard cooling. Pretty sure we all know the PWM section of these boards get very hot...

I'm not sure that cooling looks beefy enough to handle a decent OC...

Any other opinions? Or did they change to components that don't produce as much heat (seems unlikely)....

i have little unstable problem, its not PSU related, because i was lucky to test 3 diffrent PSUs with teh phenom

MIST/Cooltek 600W (12v 4x20A)
Corsair 620HX (12v 3x18A)
Hiper Type-R 580W Blue

i cant get it stable at 2.8ghz
temps are around ~55c
testing 2.1v on ram atm

any recommendations?

Try pushing past 2.8, When i hit 2.8 I could not get it stable. But 2.9 was fine even on stock v-core...Also there is AOD which allows independent core clocking. I suggest you leave bios stock when using AOD. Unless you modify the default config file to match your settings. There is a new version 2.1 which has been working quite well for me so far.I have notice that core 2 falls short before the others. And then core 3. Core's 0 & 1 seem to be the most solid.

[charged3800z24]

Nedjo... am I reading that Albatron board right? It say Hyper Stransport 3.0 @ 3.0ghz....

[keithlm]

when using AOD. Unless you modify the default config file to match your settings. There is a new version 2.1

Dang... I hadn't seen that... I was still using 2.0.17. Downloading 2.1 now... hopefully will work better.

I found it a few days ago when downloading the new ATI drivers. I saw the link for AOD and thought I'd peak to see if any new version was out. It is different then the other versions...no more yellow mode..and other changes.

[demonkevy666]

didn't like the new AOD.

anyways I put a temp senors form a Sythe "Kaze master" panel in my Voltage regulators, one in the northbrige, the other two went to ram & power supply.

at load the Voltage regulator's get to about 55c north bridge gets up to about 45C. my rams pretty cool only 34C. Ps 40C.

this 9550 has only giving me one BSOD clock interrupt was not received. That was when I bumped the volts up form 1.277 to 1.350 thats when it happened. Restated & running fine now.

I'm betting my ram isn't working totally great it won't go past 430 on 1:2 for 800mhz


ganged & unganged isn't changing it either.

It's 1066mhz ram stickers say 1.9-2.3V 2gbs sticks

board keeps saying Ram over clock failed. even a 2.1 volts.

[charged3800z24]

Are you setting the timings correctly?..

I like the new AOD. It allows you to drop down the HT multi so you can do better HTT OC'ing.

[Charles Wirth]

what was the cut off temp before it would stop posting?

Right at -12c on my temp display, I didnt use bios for temp reading, the td between active core and probe is about 12c on the F1 for a quad core.

I went through a lot of bios options on both Nvidia and ATI, ATI sure does have a lot of tweaking options, some I am unfamiliar with. I found the GPU clocks on the ATI board, 500Mhz stock and didnt have a chance to push.

I even listened to suggestions, tried single and all filled ram combinations.

The memory I used was OCZ Flex 9600 modules, I had no problems running all slots filled on any board nor did it limit my cpu oc even though I didnt push the memory hard enough.

[Rammsteiner]

Nedjo... am I reading that Albatron board right? It say Hyper Stransport 3.0 @ 3.0ghz....

I read 3Ghz too. Although it says to 3Ghz, not at 3Ghz. But still, 3Ghz... Would this mean we can expect 3Ghz+NB speeds or is it more like a ty brag rights feature.

[Particle]

You're lucky on those VRMs. Mine run > 75C when under full load (at 1.34V) despite the large heatsink and heatpipe assembly. It's crazy that the K9A2 makes horrible contact with the MOSFETs. One is fully uncovered (so I stuck a heatsink on it). 2/3 are partially uncovered. Only one column of FETs are completely covered.

[Calcifer]

charged3800z24 AOD has always alowed you to lower the multi of you HT just not the NB. i find it looks better but the 2.1 lacks the status tab now

[demonkevy666]

I'll try more relaxed timings I had them a 5-5-5- 15 (24) which they're rated for.

6-6-6-18 (???)

I have it on auto now.

My VRM's are sitting by a 120mm fan but it dosen't seem to pulling enough air threw

I'm going to get some better fans I'll add two three on motherboard soon.

My Dominators needed 7 7 7 24 (or something like that) to boot at 1066MHz memclk mode with subtimings set to auto settings. You just have to find out what settings it is stable at, and work your way down to tighter timings. Long process..

I feel your pain

I guess the best thing to do is buy one of these OCZ sets Tony made a custom SPD for with AM2+. AFAIK that's about the only brand offering a good solution thus far.

Im running Axe RAMs, they work very nice as well
However, I run them DDR800 4-4-4, but they do DDR1066 5-5-5 too. I got them even DDR1180 5-5-5. I can do even higher however it needs Drive Strength tweaking, gave up on that after 2 weeks. But some guy at TPU hit DDR1400 with only 1.35V and 5-5-5 timings.

[LIKMARK]

Hehe, my point was that it probably is immature bioses that is the cause of bad memory performance/compatability in addition to picky imc on K10. You need to know what you're doing to make memory work with 1066MHz memclk (wich is why there is no suprise that Tony makes his modules run at nice speeds with low voltage). Having a board that supports memory tweaking (read: top end 790FX/nforce780) is also nice. Having budget boards with stripped bioses makes memory tweaking harder.

FYI I made my Dominators work at 5 7 7 18 2t with Abit AX78, a board not known for memory performance. I have not tried them on other boards (with Phenom, sold it..) at memclk 1066, but they run fine with Athlon X2 on Crosshair @ 5 5 5 15 2t 1000MHz 2,0v (cpu won't oc further)

immature lol like you can only change one thing at time in them that doesn't bother me much.
I have msi K9a2 with bios 1.2.

I think I'll snatch on these up, for bios flash if I get annoyed enough
