Phenom 9950 Overclocking

[*GameOver*]

ty ty i havent tried that prog yet but ill give it a whirl id hate to kill this chip or board ) I used to roll a 9850... damn thing wouldnt go anywhere over 2.6ghz stable would even die at 2.7 no matter how many volts i fed it.

Vantage score. If i had 2 4870x2's i could be a contender ))

3.5 seems a bit harder wont do it a 1.4 im guessing 1.45 and 1.4 on the NB

while gaming i dont break 40c granting im wearing a hoodie inside :P mighty cold tonight id say the room is around 45 to 50f.

P14174 3DMarks. 37036 CPU marks ( im sure this tainted due to the Nvidia PhysX)
11755 GPU Marks

The most impressive thing for me is the Ram. 5-5-5-15 Ganged, For some reason i can OC higher being Unganged but it cuts my pro. down a bit.

Just for reference... Ganged mode will usually give you a little better OC, it's kind of odd that you can clock higher in Unganged, but every chip has it's own personality.

In General, Ganged Mode will give you better performance in single threaded apps, and Unganged will offer better performance in multi-threaded.

I pretty much stick with Unganged, but I tend to do alot of things at once.

You have been extremely helpful on this dude, but this chip just won't do more. I am doing everything by the BIOS and no matter how much voltage, what I do this chip wont boot at past 3.4 Ghz. The most it is stable is 3.213 Ghz. Totally different from my 9850, that chip was awesome, never said no, but this one is a damn p**sy
