Phenom 9950 Overclocking

[Titan7171]

Hmmm.

AOD seems to be a bit crappy on my setup (also with my previous 9850BE). I tried both 212 as it's the newest version available from DFI but also 214. It might be that I need to get another BIOS though, but I want to be sure since Im not going to flash for every fart like I did with the 790FX-M2R

Anyway, the problem is that, apart from the GUI which is a bit confusing, I cant seem to get ACC working via AOD. It stays greyed out. What I mean with the GUI is that whenever you click a setting, which normally would result in a little 'V' as selection, it just doesnt happen. You cant see whether you activated something or not. I hope you guys understand what I mean

Also, I cant seem to get my HTT very high. I didnt try to find the max, but 250Mhz was bootable but would BSOD fairly quick, same for 240Mhz. It's been so long I tried to get the HTT higher on my previous build, which never worked anyway, I might have forgotten some easy solutions to get it higher.

So does VNorthbridge, VSouthbridge, VHT, Vcore or whatever help in this? Or any settings? To be sure I lowered even my RAM multiplier and of course HT and NB multiplier. But it didnt help.

set the ht and nb multi to 10 for 240mhz fsb and 9 when going over 250 this will give you just the right play to go higher or lower between 2400 and 2550mhz. I raised my nb and HT volts to 1.4-1.45v just for the hell of it to get it stable These voltages will not harm the system if you have a cool running system if your system runs hot with minimal fans I wouldnt go far with voltages.

It took 1.5v to get to 2520 mhz though on the ht and nb which was too high so I just run between 2400-2500 in that vicinity.

Oh also turn on acc in the bios and set it to +2. If its disabled in the bios I think it stays grayed out in AOD but even if you try and set it in AOD it still makes you reboot so I just set it in the bios and left it like that.
