Phenom II X4 @ +6 GHz by Team Finland

[fragmasterMax]

How can the nda still be applicable? i thought these where already on sale.
SF3D- just a number for that spi1m thats all we want, you can encrypt it or something, pleeeeeeeese tell us (or pm me)

Coldbug is here

Hmmm.. I looked the screenshots again and they do have retail CPU Weird..

Well.. we will see the final truth when these are out in January.

[sup3rfly]

This has just confirmed my excitment about these chip Thanks Sampsa et al.
TBH i dont care if this platform performs slightly less than Intel's, its going to be a hell of a lot of fun to play with!

yeah no cold bug, high clock speed
sampsa and sf3d and amd good work

[dinos22]

That's what you get breaking NDA

Seriously, we used settings suggested by AMD including running NB @ 1 GHz and had no time to test higher. That might be the issue. This will be surely figured out soon when processors are available for everyone.

was there anything else they suggested

[tictac]

was there anything else they suggested

Team AU also facing cold bug issue ?

[Sampsa]

was there anything else they suggested

No, they just said ~1,95V is good for +6 GHz, pot needs to be full of LN2 and recommended using 1 GHz for HT since we were only aiming for high cpu clocks in our tests. We didn't adjust much from BIOS and pretty much just multiplier and HTT from AOD. It was easy, like a walk in the park.

I must say I'm a little bit worried about these Tom's overdrive cold bug results since we didn't see any in our tests with our chips and settings...

[Zucker2k]

Hey Dinos22 mate, how are you guys doing down under? Hope that poor PHII is holding under extreme cold. Can't wait for your max clocks.

[dinos22]

i'm just asking for tips
not saying anything here

we will talk about it all once NDA is up

J-Max & Phenom II @Tom's Overdrive
Coldbug is here Like an 9950 BE with a FSB around 200Mhz and free coefficient . I think ... . Like an agena .

simple they didn't use enough volts because they're use to intel's stuff. also they're never good with clock amd phenom's ever.
plus they have Ht high no bout they didn't adjust the nb clocks for it either.

[dinos22]

oh btw
for ppl thinking about how to insulate these boards for such cold temps make sure you go out and buy some kneaded eraser

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...kneaded+eraser

this stuff is just perfect

i had two LN2 bench sessions yesterday with PhII and Core i7 920 and the setups were both BONE DRY after many hours of cold............i benched intel second and lost track of time (went to bed at 3.30am) lol with about a straight 10 hour session

there is not a single bead of sweat inside or around CPU socket (plenty of ice and rest around top of pot of course heh)

i am not kidding this stuff is magic...........

[FatAlbert]

dinos, is plasticine can be use too or it isn't a good solution ??

Welcome to the kneaded eraser world
So my compatriot, do you had the CB with P2, and if you had CB , can you share information about it?

[dinos22]

dinos, is plasticine can be use too or it isn't a good solution ??

i was a long time user of blutac and i can tell you now i would NEVER use it for full board insulation

stick to this kneaded eraser stuff specifically ... just read the thread

i feel this is relevant to discussion here

[STEvil]

blutac is sticky, right? I dont think pasticine is sticky but I havent touched the stuff for probably 18 years so....

[dinos22]

blutac has terrible cold trasfer/beading/condensation related issues

i would stay back from it

both bluetac and kneaded eraser are sticky but bluetac is stickier

[macci]

including running NB @ 1 GHz

HT, not NB.

[Pt1t]

What about NDA ?

Tom's Hardware posted pi 1M result for 4ghz

And this cpu coldbugged to -70°

[massman]

HT, not NB.

At what frequency was the NB running?

[macci]

At what frequency was the NB running?

default

We always use art eraser on LN2 .If you find , you must use faber castell brand we used from year 2003


and Phenom II is great 6ghz AMD processor

[Sampsa]

HT, not NB.

Yes true, my bad, fixed

[Sampsa]

Cold bug information:

I have now confirmed from AMD that when running Phenom II X4 with LN2 HyperTransport link has to be in HT 1.0 mode (running 1 GHz) to prevent CPU cold bugging. AMD suggested us using this setting in Chicago event and we had no problems hitting +6 GHz.

is there a switch in the BIOS, or do you just drop the multi?

With Gigabyte 790GX board we just adjusted 1 GHz HT link from BIOS.
