***955 Unleashed***

[ChrisB17]

Come on. it is ud5p DDR3 thread. copy the approach (except mem) and see what happens. Are u lazy or what?

Me? Its 2 different boards.

[chew*]

Not nice. Figured it out. Thanks for the pic, HondaGuy.

There's a large thread on it, use search, don't want to derail thread with batch number debate.

[chew*]

Just installed it. cranking up the cpu muilt....Doubt it's stable

You will likely find that the "good" chips have a higher tolerance for voltage. On ln2 that chip will most likely rock.

now if I can only find someone to buy the chip,,, and overclock it, Ln2

I'd try it under water first.

chew, help me with RAMs to Gigabyte ma790x-UD4. I have at choice 2x2GB 1066MHz Kingston http://www.alfacomp.cz/php/product.p...45082000000MD3

or A-Data vitesta 2x2GB 1066MHz

thank u .

Seems to OC about the same as my 940, maybe alittle bit more tho.....955 on M4A79 mobo,
On water also

might have to sell this chip...lol

you selling a 955? BTH, I haven't seen you in a while, how's it going

[HondaGuy]

Been playing around with this chip and yea its about the same as my 940, maybe cuzz of the mobo and DDR2 ram.....Probably would OC better on AM3 mobo....Yea.I would sell it, even tho I just got it...

I know really havent been on here much lately, damm work has been getting in the way.....Our new SUV is coming out soon, The new Terrain, and also the all new Equinox..... Back now for awhile so I thought Id buy a 955 and try it out..... I think its needs a new home

get whatever needs the least voltage.....thats what I do...

Well, Let me know if you do...

[HondaGuy]

Well, Let me know if you do...

PM me.. let me see what it would cost me to ship it to you

One thing Ive notice these chips dont need alot of volts..

[HondaGuy]

NorthBridge @ 3010.....

Hey Chew,

I was marveling at your 6Ghz benches.. those are just insane. I do have a question.. I am trying to figure out your vCPU and the other voltages, but I do not see anything in the thread. No AOD Screenie, or list of your voltages.

Do you think you can share that with us trying to join the 6 Jiga Hurtz club.

[chew*]

Voltages in CPU-z are accurate.......Other voltages I used I would really not know till I load the profile again. Working on another board and diff ram atm.....Look at last 2 screenies of 3D benching @ 6+ gig. Really doesn't matter though, voltage required is chip specific.......

Honestly those having trouble reaching 6 gig are most likely trying to force feed a ram clock the processor just doesn't like......I tested with diff ram, and diff chips.....the lowest I was able to acchieve was 6.2+ when the IMC was happy........when I tried to cram a 1800+ 6-6-6-18-24 with d9's at high volts the cpu flipped me the bird........

Really not to keen on giving out my LN2 bench settings anyway, no offense but hours, days weeks, months have gone into them.......I have no support hotline, I earned them with hard work and dedication........I have no problem dropping a few tips or hints here or there........and have, just need to read my posts

Prime stable settings I share........

[G.Foyle]

It seems most Phenoms II need around 1.8-1.9 V for 6+ GHz.

[chew*]

Yes but not all. Some don't like more than 1.7v.........Best thing I can tell you to study the CPU on air/water and find out what makes it tick.....I know exactly why any bench fails now and what it takes to get it to pass from just studying......

Here's one of my tips....last paragraph...

Not really, if you set up the system right, 1.65V~1.7V will get you above 6.2 just fine.

1.6v on mine to get 4.8ghz under DICE still working on that wonderful 5ghz

Hey Chew,

I tottaly understand that you don't want to share your "Secret Sauce". I wasn't asking for a complete dump of your bios seetings. My CPUz reports 1.35v, no matter what volts I put in BIOS. So mine is never accurate. If I adjust it in AOD, it adds to the voltage i put in BIOS. So seeing your CPUz.. wasn't sure if it was correct, but since you say it is.. then I am good.

Yah saying the asus voltage is off is an understatement, the gigabyte is spot on though. Not sure about the MSI yet.

[mcbalaban]

NO, depends on motherboard if P states work correctly, I never use CnQ.

I tried battery removal thingy too - no joy.

I sent a mail to Gigabyte, but no answer yet.

Is there any one else here with a GA-MA790FX-UD5P motherboard using the F3 BIOS downloadable from the Gigabyte website?

Chew, are you sure it's the BIOS fault? If so, I'll patiently wait for a new BIOS, but if not, I'll just send the motherboard back for replacement...

its the bios check tpu i had the same issue on my chip until they updated the bios

Yes I'm positive its the bios.

I sent them an email.......I will send another with a link to this post mentioning some ticked off consumers.......that bios should have been released a while ago......I think ddr III boards are getting higher priority atm....

[mcbalaban]

Thanks guys! I really appreciate it!

You mean there is a fixed BIOS on Tech Power Up?
