    First contact with Phenom 2

    Hello,

    My friend Raven29 and me got a Phenom 2 940 and a M4A79 Dlx, so we decided to try it under LN2.
    It was my first experience with AMD and he was a bit familiar with old 939s...

    Here is some pics :












    We got some issues because we had no software to increase fsb thru windows. Turbo V and Overdrive were down, so we just discover K10stat (thx marmott) and we was able to change only the cpu multi...Not really good for the maxscreen

    6100MHz


    Spi 1M 11.453s 5945Mhz


    Spi 32M 12m30.469s 5773Mhz


    Pifast 19.41s 5715Mhz


    wPrime 32 7.067s 5500Mhz


    wPrime 1024 234.609s 5170Mhz



    As you can see, we make our Pifast at lower clocks than Spi 32M. In fact, we did it around 19.08 5840Mhz, but i wasn't able to screen it...only the pifast window, but no CPUz...

    I hope we will make it better next time

    Thanks a lot.
    In fact, my first kit od D9GMH was good, but not good enough. I was able to reach 570Mhz, 600 for light bench (like 1M). But when i plug the 2nd kit, it just go to 680 easily i would say. So i think IMC of Phenom 2 is not so bad

    2.42vdimm. Maybe 2.32v is enough, because i have set this once. 32m crashed, so i thought it was the vdimm, but in fact it was the NB which was too high (4Ghz was impossible)...
    Anyway, this kit is 730 C5 2.2v 1M capable (it's a second hand, i have buy it for 45€ )

    Extremely nice. I just had my first Phenom II experience (spent the night pouring LN2 for elmor), that was completely worthless, we managed 4.9GHz somewhat stable and found out the CPU had a coldbug at -125c or so. Wish we had a experience more similar to yours.
    I KNOW MASSMAN DISLIKES YOU.

    be careful pushing the vdimm up the IMC is manufactured on 32nm and does not handle volts very well mine died in 2hrs@3.5v (D9DCD )

    I hope you mean 2.5v. But thanks for the information. Your CPU died with extreme cooling or aircooling ? Because i believe 2.4v (for example) is not as dangerous on LN2 than on aircooling...

    What makes you say that? It's 45nm like the rest of the core.

    2.4v is a low voltage for DDR2 memory, I gave my ballistix 2.8v and they are still alive and work very fine
