Just ordered Phenom 9950 BE

[Titan7171]

heres 3dm06 3ghz stock voltages http://service.futuremark.com/result...&resultType=14

heres super pi but bumped up to 8m....completed

Now at this point Im expecting to have to raise the voltages if not then this cpu is pretty good

So Ill be back with results

If theres something I should set in the bios that im not doing right let me know as Ive dont nothing except bump up the multi please shout it out!

Im going to run some benches on mine tonight, I just picked up a 4850 with another vf1000 of a friend because he impulse bought a 4870 tonight and sold me his card for 75 dollars w/ the vf1000 on the spot, how can I say no to that :-) So now Im running 2 x Visiontek 4850 w/ VF1000's.

[Titan7171]

3.1ghz took 1.33v (it got to the loading screen then rebooted at stock volts so it warranted the increase to 1.33v
3.2ghz taking 1.36v (it loaded into windows at 1.33v but locked up during 3dm06 warranting an increase)

heres super pi 16m( I run this just to see if I will error out and it hasnt)



Where can I host better pics they are to small here??

load temps are 44c idle is 31c
for every 100mhz I get 200 point increse in 3dm06.

My first K9A2's mosfet cooling was dismal. Only one row actually made contact with the crooked heatpipe assembly. On all K9A2s, you will also note one transistor that isn't even covered by the heatsink at all. Two rows also only make half contact with the heat pad on the heatsink. Cooling on the K9A2 is pretty poor.

mine isn't like that.

[demonkevy666]

what mobo do you have??

Im running this case



and a thermalright SI-128 SE with 120mm fan doing 125cfm

From this picture can you tell if the mosfets are cooled by that HS on my mobo?? I think they are covered.........also is there a program to see how much voltage your system or even different components use??

take off that sticker on the north bridge, I did mine go like 5C cooler. I have fans over both of them 60mm over the mosfets 51C went down to 30C. & 50mm over 42C down to 30C too. they're NB zip tied on to them.

get your North bridge up with core speeds.

Then well see something great about the 9950.

not all chips clock the same. some are great clockers other are crap like mine lol

[cdawall]

mine isn't like that.

neither is mine i just added the 80mm fan cause of all the horror stories of mosfets frying with phenoms

+1 CD....,, Nice Oc Titan7171

Play with the NB...
My buggered 9600BE only does 2600mhz on the NB before it slows down the L3 and latency ,,instead of improving it!

I believe the 9850/9950 is the F3 of all things for Phenom. 45nm is where this game will be made thats for shure.

Glad to see all that fun...

[Titan7171]

ok I need some help with voltages

when ocing the nb how high can I go on voltage for lets say 2.4ghz?

when would I need to up the hypertransport voltage? what do I need to overclock to warrant more voltage on it?

i'm running 1.3v NB and 1.325v HT for 258x11 to be stable with the NB doing 258x9

Picked up a better heatsink today - Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme and it made a huge difference on cpu temps, I was loading at 51C with my Zalman 9500, finally time to put my old hsf to rest :-(

Im loading at 38c in the hot summer with this heatsink, I plan on overclocking some later.

[Titan7171]

some more results...





Heres the link for the 3dm06 http://service.futuremark.com/result...&resultType=14

Very good result!

[jnrjim67]

Yep great results now update your sig

[Titan7171]

Thanks for the positives and for checking out the thread here one last result before Im off to play game...



If oyu have any questions feel free to ask.......ill pass through later

What temps are you getting idle/load?

[cdawall]

what volts did you put the NB/HT?

[Titan7171]

What temps are you getting idle/load?

well right now Im running for 24/7 testing

240x13.5 cpu @3.24ghz voltage is set at 1.44v (cpuz shows it as +.02)

with ac off in my room...(its summer) 32c idle- 53c load......with ac on 19c idle- 40c load

what volts did you put the NB/HT?

right now with the above settings its set at NBV 1.150 and HTV 1.200

They are very good. Keep the AC on when benching

[charged3800z24]

That thing clocks well. .. Great job..

[ea6gka]

well i need to get a MSI asap...dfi got OWNED

[charged3800z24]

I have the same board.. here it is...

[D-Cyph3r]

The compression fittings i'm waiting for will should be here tomorrow, so we'll see what this chip can do cooled by an XSPC Edge and PA120.3. :P

(although, like many others, I dont think anyones gonna be getting the most out of it till enthusiast SB750 boards are out)

mine isn't like that.

Sure it is. They all are. Just take a close look. Here is the transistor layout:



Notice that the top most row is shifted to the right. The right most transistor is fully exposed on that row.



Here is the heat pad's impression pattern. Notice that only the center column is even fully covered:



The heatsink for the PWMs isn't even wide enough to cover the transistors if it wanted to.
