The Phenom II List of Overclocks

[charged3800z24]

I have been trying to hit higher then 4,1 ghz. I found the chip did not need the voltage I was using to try and do this. I was actually able to run Pi 1M also.

This is the 1.7b4 BIOS your referring to?

Yes it is; Bios 1.7b4. In my previous screenshot, (post 850) look at my cpuz tabs. I have a my northbridge at 2200. The htt is still at 200, with an ht link of 1800. Rams is running at 1066mhz as well. The multi is there and working, it's just mislabelled as HT multi in the bios. I have the NB multi at 11, and the ht multi at 9. Also, the ram timings are buggy in this bios. Alot of the ram numbers simply say "reserved", but after trial and error I have found the correct "reserved" value to equal 5 5 5 15 30.

Is that a retail chip? week 41?

Thaught it was strange too, have it installed now and worked like a charm from the begining, haven't tried to clock it yet thou that will come tomorrow. The last 5 digits was "80006" so I am hoping it does well even thou its from week 41 :P

I won it on a swedish forum newly started dedicated to AMD. The owner got this for free from the AMD office when the forum came in an article so he decided to start a competition and I happened to be the one who answeared all questions correctly and was picked as winner.

Yes it is. Mine will be 0841APAW if the seller told me the truth.

Lucky dog! Board? We want OC results NOW!

That's pretty sweeeeet!
Only 1.5V for 4.2GHz

I'm rebooting to XP 32bit for some 3DMark scores ...

That is pretty awesome at that vcore. I am assuming that you are on water (according to your sig)? Also when you gave it too much vcore would it just lock up or BSOD?

Yes, it would freeze or just reboot. I guess they like less v's....Yes it is under water.

I have been working on getting a good stable overclock I am happy with on mine (same stepping as yours btw - EDIT: I was wrong. I just checked and the stepping is different.) but it seems that too little vcore will make it BSOD and too much will make it just freeze. That very fine line between the two is very fine indeed.

hey I noticed our setups are pretty simular
I find that just going up in multi, then fine adjustments on the v's as needed does the trick. I was origianlly jumping to 1.6v- 1.65v when applying 4.2ghz. Even if i set the chip at 3.9ghz with 1.6v, i was not able to complete PI 1M.

on my chip,
stock v's is good to 3.6ghz
1.35v - 1.44v is good for 3.6 - 3.8
1.44 - 1.48 is good to 3.8 - 4.0
1.48 - 1.52 is good for 4.0 - 4.2

if any of that made sense....

You have a much better chip than me. Mine is stable at stock vcore up to 3.5Ghz. I can get 3876MHz at 1.55 vcore. Of course I can get into the 3900MHz range with up to 1.6 vcore, just have not completed much testing to know how far yet. I am trying to sell this chip right now and buy another one to see if I can get an above average overclocker the next time around. I 'm missing my ES even more now......

Ah ok. So you have HT Ratio and HT Multiplier options? I only have HT Ratio.

How much you want for it? PM me

are you on air? for air thats pretty good.

Just Installed Bios 701, so far so good on stock volts...

[Oldguy932]

Where'd you get the 0701 from? I didn't see it on asus's site.

BIOS 0701 for M3A79-T Deluxe

3913Mhz Cpu-z Validation
I still have a lot of fine tuning to do, like Vcore and memory but I dont think I am gonna be able to get much more out of it!
CACVC AC 0850BPDW 80072


My 24/7 settings..

[informal]

@m411b

Nice core clocks,but that 1Ghz NB/L3 clock is way too low.You should try and keep it at 1.8GHz(stock),since L3 access latencies at 1Ghz are going to be quite high and hold up the rest of the chip.

edit: ups didn't see the cpuz picture for 24/7 clocks.Those L3 clocks are much better

[Oldguy932]

Thanks for the link. Just flashed it and upped the htt to see if its stable with the new bios.

[Smartidiot89]

Lucky dog! Board? We want OC results NOW!

*Tease* Time for work, will be clocking the hell out of it later today

MSI K9A2 Platinum V.1
2x2GB Crucial BallistiX PC6400 CL4 (easily does about 1140mhz CL5 24/7 stable)

I am using BETA Bios: V1.7B4

Not the best board around anymore, but I am hoping for good results as it has been able to create great clocks before, so far it seems ACC isn't even working so I won't be crippled with SB600 (yet) until proper BIOS support for you SB750 people are coming.

Well got a PII 0851APMW just need the M4A79 Deluxe to turn up.

Mine is 0851APAW. I'm courius that what will be the difference in OC.

get clocking it and find out

[Raiderman]

Thanks for the links to the 0701!
