    How the hell can I see the CPU-NB voltage in windows? I got a 3.2ghz overclock via bios but the CPU-NB is default at 1.6500. How can I check if thats correct?

    I go by what it says in the Bios . AOD dosen't post the correct volts on most the stuff in the bios . I run my cpu NB at 1.950v by the bios on the foxconn board . I just got some new ram and i'am using 2500 mhz on the NB and NT link on my 24/7 3.0 GHZ clock .i also got a new high stable overclock but the only way i can run it is in AOD .I got 3.250 ghz on 3 of my core and core 4 have have to run a 3.0 ghz was testing using prime to night so far np.

    Grats man on the good overclock and temp (sorry if i was coming across like a ) but your board just don't read the same as the ASUS 79-t mother boards do. Why they don't i don't know but if you are using close to defalt setting you should be ok .I'am still
    playing around with a early 9850be cip just not as good as the 9950 are .
    PS there may be a bug in your bios when it come to running dual changle 1066 men. with epp ran into last night . The men. would 1066 in single changle but but not dual had to declock to 800 .

    You should check your RAM VID btw. Mine defaults to like 2.3V for some reason, and I had one DIMM burn out before I realized that.
    Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
    As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.

    Rule 1A:
    Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.

    Rule 2:
    When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.

    Rule 2A:
    When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.

    Rule 3:
    When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.

    Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!

    You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.

    Ok the defalt (NB votlage control) setting is 1.815v in the bios . I myself run it at 1.950v to help it run more stable at 2500 mhz. The HT voltage control i use 1.35v this also is to help it be more stablel at 2500 mhz . Now ChrisB17 you were looking for 3.2 ghz from your Phenom and you got it without having to do a hole lot .Now you keep say you are worried about braking your new PC . You got what you wanted from the cpu so why don't you call it good and have fun with your rig . I say this beacuse when every you overclock something there a chance it going to brake and if you can not hanle that beacuse of money or what ever reason you should realy think about stoping at this point. I just don't want to see you brake something and you end up having a pile of junk . I not trying to talk down on you but if you are going to keep playing around with overclocking at some point in time you will brake something and you have to be willing to say MY BAD and move on and fixing it .Now at this point in time if you were to brake you pc and that would be every bad for you why not run the rig the way you got it 3.2 ghz running 64 bit vista is a very good over clock for a Phenom and just have fun with it. I say this as a friend not trying to talk down to you or to talk trash.

    Hi guys well i'am back to trying 3.1 ghz as a 24/7 overclock again i change over to a new case and water cooling took me some time to get things working right again . For what ever reason the water cool change my over clocking at 3.1 ghz as it wouldn't doing any more (i know idea why) . What
    i now can do is get ACC +6% to repost and boot all the time now . With the +6% ACC i can now run 3.2 ghz stable at hight volts (1.55v) if i want and the highter ACC let post up and run 3.375 ghz for the frist time ever but not stable . So i'am trying 3.1ghz @1.45v, ACC +6% for the 24/7 over clock (air cool was able to do 3.1ghz @1.4v ACC +4%) .

    Particle so now that you been on the foxconn a79a-s for a bit how is it working out for you ? did meet all your gold you set for it ??
    ChrisB17 did the foxconn a79a-s meet your gold you had for your pc build ??
    For myself it done every thing i ask for and more as long as we get a bios up-date for Deneb CPU i be on this board for couple years with 45nm cpu.

    I ran prime 6+ hours large ffts. Then I ran 6+ hours small ffts. Then I ran 6 rounds of intel burn test. Then finished with 4 hours of occt. If that isnt stable I dont know what is.

    Do you allow the machine to go to sleep when idle?

    I have had problems with sleeping/hybernating. It just locks up. If I stop allowing it to sleep/hybernate and it doesn't lock up.

    Yes, I have it disabled on mine. If I recall, it wasn't labeled as you'd expect. I'll pick it out of the BIOS when I get home and post a picture.

    You need to go into your Control Panel/Power Options and set it up the way you want it.
