Asus M3A78-T + 9950BE overclocking... wow its all new again

[@@@@]

4.55 Ghz WOW

any screen shots just to tease us

and also

@ Jimmer411 I suggest you pm HondaGuy he has a lot of experience with Phenoms he was able to get 3.5 Ghz stable on at 9850 Phenom

Haha 4.55ghz was what was shown at the post screen. By no means was it actually running at that. If I tried I imagine I could get it to show 9ghz at the post screen.

Windows, I was almost able to get in at 3.4. But any number of things coulda been holding me back since it was on the stock hsf. Thanks for the heads up, ill pm him

@ Jimmer 86 the stock HS or lap it smoother and use MX2 or As5.. your results will be little cooler all the time// with colder LOAD temp. The stock HS is a little rough and will use more paste than if you had it lapped.Thus the rougher it is the more the CPU hold the heat and dosnt transfer it as good.

Every little bit helps with phenom ,, Especially when you choose to run the Stock cooler

Look for a setting that canges CPU to SB/NBvolts .. helps stabilize the ram while running tigh timing at High freqency with a high NB.
Only a little extra is needed..

Example: Say stock is (1.20v then bump it to 1.25v/1.30v) This also helps when running 1 or 2gig sticks in all four slots. More Mem will usually need more Volts to stabilize the ram.

Also make shure you have the 0306Bios has many updates ..
Ill checking the manual out to see what settings are availiable for volts...will post in a few what i find.


1st ,, These two VOLTAGE settings

(Processor VOLTAGE) = CPUvid or Vcore
(Processor -NBvoltage) = NBvid on the CPU,,NBvcore

Which you can see below.. 9x50 Phenom x4's can run 1.55 for both if you have enuff cooling.. 1.31 will be ctock for CPU and 1.25 should be stock for NB.. I usually Raise the NB up to Match the CPUvid when i use High NB clocks and CPUclocks.

Example :
3.2ghz//2200mhz Nb stock volts only for my 9950.
3.3ghz CPU = 1.35/1.37v and with 2200mhz Nb= 1.35v

3.4ghz CPU = 1.40/1.48v and with 2500mhz NB = 1.40/1.45v

3.4ghz+ CPU = 1.55v and with 2600mhz+ NB = 1.55v ,,do not exceed 1.55v with the NB..

The NB will max @ 2700mhz no matter the volts..Has to do with HTlimits and Heat.

The CPU ive reached 3.55 with 1.62v but my Mobo cant handle it,, its only SB600 hahaaa.




2nd,,
Clocking the HTT and or go above 3.0ghz using the CPUxmultis you need to run the CHipset for NB @ 1,27-1,30v..

This is with in its spec range..This will be needed to keep the Ram stable while comunicating to the IMC on the CPUNB..Allows for tighter timing @ Overclocked and High Freqency settings.

3rd,,
Setting HT volts,, Allows for higher HTclocking..
You will have to enable(NorthBridge VOLTAGE) to(MANUAL from Auto) for the HTvoltage setting to appear.

Set it to 1.30v- 1.35v max.. Every mobo ive set did not need more than 1.35v max to go High HTT 280+/300+..



Hope that helps ya little bit...Ill be tweaking 790GX//FX at the end of the month..So im looking at most of the manuals for which Mobo's have what..Yours has all the right Options for a wicked Oc just so you know,,Its cheaper than it big brother the 9
