Just ordered Phenom 9950 BE

[cdawall]

Hopefully we can get the 750's this week! I actually just ordered that biostar for a friend for a a CHEAP dual core build

I'd really like to see what A B2 can do on A SB750 board since some of them can be had for under 100 bucks if you find the right person it'd be nice to see consistent 3.0ghz on them

i plan on getting a 790GX on release so i'll let you know it will be paired with a 9500

i already found SB700 clocks better than SB600 with it if it wasnt for the fact that im on onboard it went from ~2.84ghz MAX on sb600 to pretty close to 3ghz on SB700 but onboard VGA corrupts on my 780G over 255mhz HT

have you tried disabling the onboard VGA? a 9500 or 9600 BE that hits 3.3 would be GREAT value, so hopefully the SB750 will help you push it even further!

Im on same boat too.. looking At 790GX or a new FX..Its a toss up ATM


Personal best,,
A week of testing my 9950 with Water(non chilled Alhambra )

I topped @ 1.59v 3553mhz//2100NB with the Mobo hating me temps are very good with this amount of Mhz and volts..The Mobos PWM's with heatsinks really hates it . With out blowing up the Mobo ill stop here seeing i already know what will happen if i go further....


Note: I keep it @ 3450//2660nb @1.56v and the Performance is the Same as if it were @ 3553//2100NB with same Ram Timing both settings ..For MID 22's not bad ( I did not Tweak Ram For Fastest Pi! I used Mobo Defaults @ 1066 with Max ram and manually set each timing to the (Auto )setting it showed....)

Due to HOT/PWM's i do not run @3553mhz 24/7 with out them going through the roof. Only reason i cant clock this chip Higher is the Mobo's big Vdroop and PWM's pushing a 9950 this high ATM.

1.648v = 1.589v Vcore

i don't have a vga card ATM so onboard is my choice but i have 3 3850s on there way to me so i should be able to get it up there very soon esp considering my water loop is almost done

we are pretty close.......except for voltage

You guys running ice... Nice clocks....
I just sold my 9600 BE.. I thought about getting a 9950 to go with a 750SB board as soon as they hit. Just waiting on the boards now...

[Titan7171]

little update:

i was runnign prime95 for 2 hours@3.2ghz 1.48v, idle was 32c, load went to 61c, all was good till I went and tried to load a game while prime was still running .....then 2 cores errored out. would you consider this a legit instability or was I just pushing it to hard running prime plus opening programs at the same time?? I think it would have kept going if I hadnt started to push the cpu even harder......opinions??

if not Ill start prime over again and see what happens but it was looking good till I started messing around.

[charged3800z24]

might have been a memory issue.. not the memory being bad.. just allocating..

[keithlm]

would you consider this a legit instability or was I just pushing it to hard running prime plus opening programs at the same time??

I personally like to run 4xPrime95, Everests stability test, and AOD statiblity test AND THEN maybe run an HD Tach or something similar. (This will REALLY let you know how well a software RAID system works.)

ANYWAY: It should NOT error out. Ever. Any core.

all at the same time??

[keithlm]

all at the same time??

Sure. If it fails... then something is not working correctly.

(Of course with that much stuff running you WILL thrash... but who cares... that just adds to the stress.)

As for less stress.. I find I can run 4xPrime95 and then play some games and actually not see too much of a difference in FPS. (Although that is dependent on CPU, chipset, and motherboard.)

[Titan7171]

well I started it then stopped it after 30 minutes or so........i just dont have the time or patience and my kids wanted to go on the computer Ill do it another time but it looked like it didnt have a problem

[keithlm]

Oh... PRETTY.

Here is one of mine: (Sorry about how wide it is. I have two monitors... and a screenprint will show both of them. The TOOLS are on my secondary monitor while I play a game.)

[keithlm]

TEST TEST (Sorry about the double post... I'm checking this...)

AH NICE... my last post was WAY toowide.. (I'm sorry) but this post is NOW back to normal. I wasn't sure if the forum did that... I had hoped so its not screwed up for the rest of this page.

Wath is the max OC you reach with windows vista 64 or xp64?
It's important to distinguish the OC with 32bit OS from the OC with 64bit OS with these cpus...

Bye

[Titan7171]

I only run 32bit os in vista and xp......Ill try a 64bit os when I get my 4870x2

Guys ,take a look at newegg's Top Selling CPU list and guess which chip takes the number 1 spot!!!
Yeah,it's the little gem 9950 :

9500 is under water now

[Particle]

Has anyone tried the 9950 + SB700 or later on something like dice or vap? I wonder if the cold issue was 9850 related, general current K10s related, or chipset related.

if someone sends me a 9950 i have everything else

oh and SB750 looks like its kicking ass with phenoms

HAHAHA nice to see!!!

guess why???

they are all jumping on the new oc bandwagon
