The Phenom II List of Overclocks

[Rammsteiner]

@Ramm - nice try. Have you tried a newer Beta BIOS ?

Nope, I heard bad things about it but regarding clocking I heard better things about it

But tbh, Ive ran 3.8Ghz stable and the next run it doesnt. It's plain stupid 3.7Ghz is stable pretty much, but I really cant wait for the Gigabyte 790FX-UD5P to be released, Im so done with this DFI crap

[Lathode]

What is CPU/NB voltage supposed to be at stock settings? I couldn't find any info on this so I just set it same to vcore @ 1.325v. After looking through this thread somewhat I'm thinking I set it too high and that may be causing issues.

the dfi board sets 1.31v for CPU and 1E (1.175) for CPU-NB, when loading optimised defaults for a 940.

amd rated stock for 940 CPU is 1.35v

Try 3.6, you may have hit the chip's limits. Who needs the extra 200mhz?

Hmm, so the CPU-NB should be sert lower than vcore right? Lets say the vcore was set to 1.45, should the cpu-nb be set to 1.35?

Another question, what is the most accurate program for temps in Windows 7? OCCT and coretemp show my temps about 5c higher than what Asus PC Probe II shows.

they are independant of each other. there is no set ratio of cpu voltage to cpu-nb voltage. however, you may find that bumping CPU-NB slightly may help with CPU clocks, and vice-versa.

occt shows the same value as coretemp. asus pc probe is monitoring your socket temps. it sounds about right that your socket is ~5 away from core (mine is ~6 away from core). both should be used so you can get an idea of where your temps are. HWMonitor and Everest will show you both.

rock solid stable working on the ram its new....and not as good as the reds i used to have

[cdawall]

how's this its on water

[Stuen4y]

Should be able to crack it i was on a cheap cooler when I did it.

I thought it was higher. I'll do my best.

No need to break it, although I implore you to push your chip more regardless for your own enjoyment.

It's not retail aka don't count. Was just messin with ya

What do you mean with "retail" and why it doesn't count? In fact I was a little scared, firstly I thought I was first, then you showed up and ruined my satisfaction.

Chip I'm using atm isn't retail, don't need to be scared till I start cranking my 940 BE again in a diff board, on a better heatsink

nice job btw

Thanks for the congrats. I wish you luck in case you need it, you've got the rest. Tonight should be very very cold so I'll try to beat this retail non counting record.

I think I have the lead on air now.
4408.38MHz(only 0.16MHz ahead of Lightman); 1.536V, and the "golden" IFX-14 with two akasa fans@2300RPM.

cooler was a mugen(1), no idea about indoor temp, window was open and outside was between 0 and +5°C , 1.55V

it's in my HTPC now 2.8 or 2.6 @ 1.0X or 1.1X IIRC

any screenies of benches with it 4+ cinebench, wprime, 3d01-06 ? must have been able to at least get a screenshot of it with all 4 cores similar to this.....batch info?

[-Radiant-]

CACVC AC 0850 CPMW
all i have is superpi @ 4.25, no way i can bench @4.4GHZ +
but ~4.2GHZ should be no problem, maybe i can take a screen on the WE, as said it's on a DS4H now in my HTPC, the destroyer is not the best choice for a HTPC

flashed Bios P14 today...and suprise, suprise it's the same like my "beta"


i can't adjust the NB Frequency the multi in the bios doesn't work...

[chew*]

No multi threaded benches at say 4.1? you should be able to run PI within 100mhz of your validation.....its not that intensive of a bench...4380 should be a breeze...3d should be doable within 300 of max as well as multithreaded.

last 5 of the batch at bottom?

I'm sure you're shoving snow onto your computer parts while benching

Congrats man! Sweet clock!
BTW which core works for you best for suicide clocks?

[massman]

Seems my CPU wasn't limited to 2.4G NB clock ~ I retested the chip with a newer bios (the one I flashed for the LN2 session) and now I can reach this with 1.4v NB Core volt:

I am on water, but I also have a little headroom left in my current chip. I will wait until you beat it then I will see how far it will go

Hit the same wall with my 720 BE massman, only diff is my wall was 2200 air/2400 DI, hopefully the m4a79 will reveal if it was bios related.

Holy mother of god!
How did you ever manage to get 10s SPi with a PII?
I know enough to say you o'clocked NB but could you help a noob out and break-it down a bit?

I guess what I'm after is, whether or not this is achievable for an average Joe with a good water cooling setup?
And better yet... is it stable or usable?

Hmm, I heard a lot of people complaining about the M3 and M4 boards from Asus, especially regarding the NB multiplier. Let's hope it's indeed the bios which needs updates .

Hehe ... the 10s need to be added to the other 24 minutes of the 32M run .

Yah, i liked more my Foxconn A7DA-S than this *uber* Asuck A3M79-T Deluxe, well with Asus NB ja HT is goin high, with Foxconn only ~2.3GHz

I think i am gonna change this systems something else..E5200 ? Would be my first Intel system

Actually there is no snow here, only dry cold. I clock all the 4 cores. I'll try tonight with only one core.
