The Phenom II List of Overclocks

**demonkevy666** · 01-09-2009, 09:52 AM

hey Oldguy I got the same batch number exactly the same lmfao!

Main System:
CPU: Phenom II X4 940 (CACVC AC 0849DPAW) thats currently at 3.8ghz, on stock voltage mind you.

**Oldguy932** · 01-09-2009, 09:57 AM

Well, I keep getting these unrecoverable hardware error bluescreens from prime that don't make sense. I've never gotten errors like that before so I don't know if it actually is the cpu or if something else is screwed up. I wish the temp diode actually read below 0 because it just says 0 for me, but the bios reading is -10C at the stock speed of everything and stock voltage.

And yeah it is pretty funny that you got the same stepping when you live in ohio with me.

I bought it off newegg lol

yeah is the temp diode will be better in AM3 chips and AM3 board will read it right.

**Oldguy932** · 01-09-2009, 10:06 AM

I got mine from the local microcenter.

Dumo, could you post your stepping and the motherboard you're using?

And for people to post later on, please remember to post everything to make it easier on me when I add you to the list.

Edit: I think I may have found the problem with high multipliers. When I booted up with the 18.5x one AOD would get completely screwed up readings of me being at 4.5ghz instead of the 3.7ghz I was actually at. Hopefully setting the multi through AOD won't do the same thing or it'll be time to complain for a new bios.

Old guy did you pack the cpu socket with dielectic? I had that problem the first time I ever used phase, It was condesation jumping across pins because I didn't pack the heck out of the socket with grease.

**Dumo** · 01-09-2009, 10:16 AM

Heres with Giga 790GP-DS4H..

**Caveman787** · 01-09-2009, 10:19 AM

Guess demonkevy666 has found a good batch from what it seems so far 2 3.8's stock volts is very impressive.

Let's hope they all end up being that good soon.

chew* · 01-09-2009, 10:19 AM

Sweet dumo batch # 59 lol, I wonder how you got that

although i'm a little disapointed I would have thought you would have opted for one at least under 50

I want to see how good that board is...

waiting to see it in e-tailers also ...

**Oldguy932** · 01-09-2009, 10:20 AM

Another CACVC AC 0849DPAW... that makes three of us.

@ chew - I might try that eventually, but it never gave me a problem before. I keep the underside heater on with a little power to make sure it evaporates or something like that.

Man... screensaver just started and scared me

less...

Ditch the heaters, and get some eraser and pack it in the backplate and front plate ,around the socket and all around the head

and pack it with grease trust me I lost the MMC once without it, chip became a 754 single channel...........It's fine without for some testing but 24/7 is a No No.

**Blacklash** · 01-09-2009, 10:25 AM

If I set 1.55v in the BIOS I can run 3.9GHz with AOD. 3.7GHz is the limit with 1.45v for me, so it looks like I made a good guess there.

I am going to keep experimenting with 3.9 for now. I need some more voltage tweaking to get it stable.

**Oldguy932** · 01-09-2009, 10:30 AM

I guess I'll be doing that soon

.

3.6ghz is no go on stock volts, trying 3.5ghz now.

**demonkevy666** · 01-09-2009, 10:37 AM

I'm on air, vista 64 bit here.
been benching with generic cpu bench. simple yet it puts full load on the cores quickly and load @ 3.5ghz stock volts.

idle 36C load 48C.

old 9850 idle 3.0ghz at 1.475 volts 44C load 57C.

**Oldguy932** · 01-09-2009, 10:40 AM

I'm just doing small fft's atm. I want to find a base point before adding voltage into the game.

Edit: I might also need to do some windows updates. The computer isn't connected to the internet so it doesn't have any updates other than the drivers I ported over.

3.6 is working now oddly enough. Stock volts and all. So now I get to complain to Asus that I want a new bios so things stop screwing up...

**Brian y.** · 01-09-2009, 10:52 AM

Here is another one about to be put under testing..

Got it from the same shop as Dumo

chew* · 01-09-2009, 10:59 AM

I see AMD is still using the T stamp on the PCB of the chip, anyone getting pcb's stamped N?

**Oldguy932** · 01-09-2009, 11:03 AM

Good to see more chips getting tested. Do you guys like being able to download it in a word document or is it about time for me to convert it to a gif so it can be viewed on the page?

Just curious did you try the 2.1.5 version of AOD?
I tried it with my 9950 and it was real flakey, but it might work better with the 940's... Just a thought....

Please convert, I haven't installed office suite yet on my current reinstall

**Oldguy932** · 01-09-2009, 11:17 AM

2.1.5 is what I have installed currently. Windows is my only non up to date "program". And I will work on getting the list converted over to a gif over the weekend.

Edit: 3.6ghz max on stock volts.

**Manicdan** · 01-09-2009, 11:19 AM

you could create a google doc and we can all see it that way

Open Office Writer is all you need

My internet connection is poo poo and I accidentally deleted my storage partition when I reinstalled windows for my new GPU yesterday because I was so excited. I had a copy of the OO package on there.

I get a FIOS 20/20 line in exactly 9 days though

That stuff never works right. It makes you sign into google first, and not all of us like google accounts.

Dynamic PNG is the way to go (not gif).

The more I think about it the more I think my 19x multiplier thing is a motherboard clock generator multiplier max. I'll try bumping HTT.
