**Unified** DFI LanParty UT 790FX-M2R-M2RS / Phenom /Data Base Thread**

[possessed]

thanks, i'll test it soon. One thing is just kicking in head. I'm guessing I'm the only one in my country with this board. First of all it was never sold in any fisical store, and to get mine I actually bought it used from one guy here on xs and had it imported. I also visit my country's biggest computer related forum and haven't seen anyone else claiming they also had one.

Time to test Am2+ dfi board for me DFI LanParty DK 790FXB-M2RSH + Phenom II incoming!

[AlabamaCajun]

[B]Yea whole Year of Bad AMD Bios from D.F.I ....WTF....is up with that?

I hear ya, they gave AMD a bad rap. After 7 months I'm still near stock with what I expected to do near 3G out the box. I just recently flashed to 121708 and bumped the NBV one notch which finally got me stable even at stock. 3 days running at 2.558G clock bump as mutli changes just get cleared back to default. Lets see what these do for the Denebs.

[Brother Esau]

I think your whole problem is the CPU itself

[PepsiLove]

Sorry I was ment to post my oc a few days back, but its not stable anymore, was running 291x11 at 1.45vcore stable, but now it wont even post . I'll keep testing and seeing if i can get it going again .

[AlabamaCajun]

Are you sure it's not the operator

I hope a Deneb can do well in a week or so when I get it. Going for the 940.

Sarcasm Alabama ........It probably is the CPU. This 9600 BE does not do well at anything but stock And yes DENEB will do much Better

Hi guys I poseted on p30 but didnt get much feedback, I was wondering if you could help me.
setup=

AMD 9950 BE (125watt I think) (FSB 232 with CnQ, CPU special add +.75) @3Ghz
DFI 790FX M2RS with bios A01
3GB Geil Black Dragon 1066 4 4 4 10 @793mhz
PowerColor 4870 850/1050
Thermaltake Armour case
Thermaltake Toughpower 700w
very good waterblock and twin 120mm rad
Idle with CnQ 13-16 degrees, load ~35


Here is the issue,

How can I get my Phenom over 3.1GHz,

Ive tried various ways upping the FSB or standard FSB and just increasing the multi, but it refuses to load into windows above 3.1Ghz. ANd ive tried upping the voltage to nearly 1.6V on the 'special add' bios setting.

I have the NB core and NB-HT link voltages increased 1 step.

Do I NEED to mess about with the CPU settings(P states etc, dont really understand them)

Do I need more chipset voltage, considering chipset and PWM run at ~50 degrees C.


Are there any settings in the bios, such as link state, unit clumping, etc that will limit my OCing headroom, Id like to think I have a good idea on how to OC, and when OCing the CPU I have downclocked my RAM etc.

I have tried using just two ram sticks in dual channel.

I have also just bought one of those akasa blue chipset coolers as my chipset temps (although smartguardian shows it under the 'system' tab) is like nearly 60 degrees.

any suggestions?


Thanks alot guys

[Brother Esau]

Don't know man might not go any higher then what you have.

[mcmeat51]

that sucks, people have got them up to like 3.4? is ABS anygood, i have not used it. and i treid AOD and on opening if f!cked my pc and i had to do a system restore (although i did already have an OC when I opened it for the 1st time)

Well that may be true but maybe not in your instance it won't be. Don't get me wrong here you may be able to get more out of it maybe try NOT OVERCLOCKING THE HTT Overclock via CPU FID / DID NB/FID / DID

Overclocking the HTT really puts allot of strain on the Mosefts , PWM , CPU , Etc , Etc.....also raise the heat up quite a bit.

[mcmeat51]

ah, well i did try just raising the multiplier (not the CPUFID and DID but the one NOT under the cpu settings tab in the bios, but next to the coolnquiet etc), maybe ill try that.

[Brother Esau]

I never had much luck overclocking this board with the HT Multi compaired to CPU / NB /FID/DID

Hey thanks alot, ill do some tinkering over then next few days and let you know how it goes.

Ok, to anyone who is looking at replacing the northbridge heatsink on their M2RS... DONT USE THE AKASA COOL BLUE CHIPSET COOLER.

Its totally w@nk. it attaches by way of an adheasive backing.... which just does not work.

instead I took the original heatsink, sanded and polished the bottom of it as it was terribly rough, and replaced the springs that hold it down on the push pins, with oned from biro's as they are stronger...

Hasnt made a huge difference from before, but im using some crappy silicone compound that i had as an emergency fix.

cheers

[mcmeat51]

Erm Ok well after a bit of messin about...


1stly installed AOD... which promptly meant I had to reset the bios and killed one of three sticks of ram on the upside i can now run the other two at their rated 1066, which i couldnt before (maybe was a dodgy stick?)

BUT no luck going past 3.1 ith AOD.

I have tried playing with the CPU and NB FID's, however on insection of CPUZ, the CPU multi changes, but the northbridge speed shows the same under the spd tab @2000mhz?

whats going on?

I wabt to get NB upto about 2.6Ghz as I hear higher NB = higher clock speed?

cheers

Don't use AOD........Overclock via Bios Only! 1stly..Did you read and study the thread I provided you? Reading about Overclocking Phenom is essential......Not Reading and understanding Phenom and Reaching for too much at one time = Dead Motherboard or Dead CPU or Ram

Now if you are smart you will read up on this and read allot! Why don't you start on the Front Page of this Thread as I have a Bios Settings Template with overclock of my Phenom 9850 BE Posted .......Also what Bios are you Running? Please Create a signature and Post the Bios Version adjacent to the Motherboard like I have mine.

[panzerchaos47]

For NB overclocking what was voltage use to make it stable? Did they integrate the NB-CPU VID to CPU VID options?

I'm using DFI 790FX-M2RS (SB600)

[possessed]

using 26/12/2008, seems to work ok, network detects just fine and I also think it solved my usb write speed problems. Need to double check it though (I thought it was OS related so I never said anything about it)

[LotusNegra]

Guyz,

I'm using DFI 790FX-M2RS + Phenom 9850, and I'm trying to increase the vcore voltage, I did until 1,375V. It seems ok in the BIOS, but no other program recognizes it, neither CPU-Z, Everest... is this normal? Is the vcore really increasing?

Other doubt, I can't even OC to 2.7, is some of my hardware that bad at OC or did I just buy the worst 9850 ever? My PSU is a OCZ StealthXStream 600W.

Do you have amd overdrive installed? When it was installed on mine no matter what I set it to in the bios it would always stay at 1.25 in windows.

Yo Pepsi any luck getting back to 3 ghz?

[PepsiLove]

Yo Pepsi any luck getting back to 3 ghz?

Yes!!! Finally got it back up and running, not sure what the problem was, I think I messed up keeping the ht link under the nb frequency xD. finally got this....




temps are after 15 minuets of prime95, still testing now . I still need to fine tune all the voltages (sure I could get some of them lower) and get some cooling for the chipset, any recommendations?

The settings I used where...

Northbridge fid - 03 (so x7)
HT Link - 800 (so x4)
and cpu at 266 x 12

and voltages are: cpu special vid + was +250, nb core was 1.350 I think, nb pcie or what ever its called was at 1.250 I think and htvtt was 1.370

[SAB]

Sweet...good to see.
Guess u got a better cpu than me.....or maybe Im pushing the HT and NB too much
As far as volts go...we are about the same.
I dont trust Everest too much when it comes to volts.
I use DFI Smart Guardian to watch those.

Looks like u are running that memory very slow compared to me.
Maybe I will try that out...to get cpu speed up.

When u max out on cpu....you may wanna try to get that memory running faster.

Here is some of my settings.

I only use Everest because it has a reading for each core, otherwise I use SG or Coretemp =). Yeah the memory is running slow, I wasn't sure what to set it to and wasn't sure it would post so I set it pretty low lol. Good luck getting it further
