you posts are very very helpful, if it wasnt for everybodies posts, then we would not learn as much. Once you get your temps down, you can give more vcore and go higher. But ofr now I suggest keep it where you are and enjoy your rig

Yead i vouce for that,, Slowly tweaking things will get ya the results and Phenom Tweaking is by far not Easy.

I just installed Visat32bit and lost 120mhz on my Max Oc The Os plays a big role even when your Bios is set Optimal for the oold Os..So now im trying to get back to 3.52ghz:ROTFvista why me

I want to know your scores are at 3.0ghz?

Well knowing this makes me feel better. I thought you were already using Vista and I could not figure out why I was having such a hard time. This may explain it. Since I just finished installing water cooling I have tried getting 3.5GHz bench stable and have yet to do it. I got close but I had to use 1.6250 vcore and even though my temps were fine I was still a little weary.

What is the max vcore you have put through your chip? I may end up going to 1.65 tonight, but I do not really want to fry my chip even if the temps are ok.

I spoke too soon.. I just cant run my NB as high as i did in XP32bit yet

Wierd Vista is just Wierd.





Im still seeing if this is stable ,, At least my clocks are somewhat back up. I honestly didnt think it would run 3.52mhz.

FAIOR,,

Raise your NB volts to 1.45v keep ACC+2 and keep CPUv the same ..Try some benches and let me know ..

Also make shure your HT is @2000mhz(2.0) NOT(2.4)ht..it has to be 2.0 if you raised your NB to 2400.

CPU to NB LINK SPEED(htspeed) should ALWAYS be 2000mhz regardless of how how the NB is clocked.

So for example,,

I FSB/HT @220 x 14.5 =3190mhz CPU

You HT needs to be 2000,, 220x9HT = 1980HT

NB @ 220 x 10 = 2210mhz you will use a 9x for HT although the NB is 10x
NB @ 220 x 11 = 2420mhz you will use a 9x for HT although the NB is 11x

Its critical tha tthe HT remains @ 2000 when raising the NB..If you set the HT to 2.4ht while running 2400nb you will cause a freqency crash as the CPU loads up.. Eventually you will get a instant reboot @ any time..

So when you are running 2400nb make shure the Ht is 2000 NOT 2400 like the NB

My Screens above show exactly what im talking about..
look and you will see my NB is 2200mhz and my HT is 1980mhz.. if i raise the HT to match NB it will crash after a while from freqency loading on the CPU from the HT link not being 2000mhz while comunicating to the NB.

Good luck and keep us posted ..

P.s.
Although the NB is @ 1.1v on your system ,, its why it crashes . The NB needs 1.3v minimum to work properly stock.. Even if you can run lower volts , your hurting the NB's and sytem stability.

yep, I Phenom overclocking is def. not easy I agree.


hey guys, check this out

if I can't RMA my board or exchange it locally, I think im going to try core i7!!


not what I want to do with Phenom II just around the corner but its been itching for a while now.


BTW, when i had vista i saw some decrease in performance too!, so you're not alone, dont feel bad

damn that sucks bad.

everyone else seem to be on xp32 bit with water cooling I'm on and in vista 64 bit, with air cooling. :/

Ya..I have one 9950 on Air..but it is XP Media Center...the other has XP 32 XP 64 and Vista 32. Looks like Phenom II will love my water setup I get 26*C on idle with 3.3ghz 1.4v.
I really do like the Phenom's these 9950's have been super fun, and on this Asus board..even more fun. Very solid setup.

up to 3.4ghz in Win XP 64bit...I lowered NB to 1800 and HT of course followed suite, to see if it would effect CB scores.. I actually ran 1min and 6sec which was the same as my 3.3ghz and 2000HT and 2400NB...

[charged3800z24]

Now..what I find odd...I can boot into Win XP 64bit @ 3.4ghz...the exact same setting on Win XP 32bit and blue screen. 3.3ghz is 100% stable..but 3.4 no go..

Im going have to go back and tweak some more on my system.. I see you beat me on the 64 bit Cinebench ...

I actually have a higher score then that one on Win 64bit..it was just a 1800mhz NB/HT comparison i did. seems 64bit clocks better for me.. I might try higher..
