Phenom 9950 Overclocking

[QuietIce]

LOL, well I was thinking wild turkey,

Anyways I ordered that famous Asus Board,
I haven't bought a PSU in over 2 years maybe that's why!

What make you recomend?

Almost any good 550+ PSU should do the trick if you don't have a power hungary GPU (you'll probably need a 600+ for yours). I'm a SETI cruncher so my vid cards are very low-powered.

Fortron is a good, mid-range PSU and prices go up from there. Here's a good place to see who makes what:

See if you can make toast with another PSU Two mobos with 4/8pin problem something other than Mobo is cooking.. 1 bad // or buggy PSU can Over volt a mobo easy.


Ive pumped the ASUS with enuff Volts to make just about anyone feel uncomfortable and trust me the PWM's will fail before that 4/8pin.

You could even have a piece of hardware shorting and causing Mobo failure once it gets to a certain limit. Pull any extras out of the mobo( Use one PCi_e Video card instead of three and retest.)..Your PSU may be giving dirty supply once its stressed to its limit,, then wham instant "How too Smoke Cookin on yer WeberMobo southern style"

This last week I fried a MOSFET on a Biostar 790GX. Transferred everything over to an M3A78-T and it's running fine - OC testing 3.2 GHz as I type. The only thing bad with the first rig was the board. In the future I'm staying away from Biostar ...
