Hey Guys,

I have been cruising around here ever since i got my Phenom II X2 550. I have been playing around with ACC to see how it affects the stability. Without increasing any voltages, [other then CPU core to 1.4], i was able to unlock the cores but not get it stable. Without increasing voltages of NB and memory, i was able to stress the core with IBT 30 instances at Standard load, and Medium data set with OCCT. When i run with heavier loads, Maximum with IBT and Large Data Set with OCCT, i was only able to get 3-4 iterations with IBT, and 40 mins with OCCT.

Then i increased the NB and memory voltages by +.05v [on CPU as well as the NB]. The CPU voltage is fixed at 1.4. I was able to run 1 HR on OCCT Large Data set, and able to pass 15 iterations with "Very High" load using IBT[4 GB]. But when i increased the memory usage to 6 GB, it failed at the 6th iteration.

Now i increased the voltage of the NB by 0.1v+, and currently running IBT at 6.25 GB load. I am seeing about 40 GFlops speed.

My other components are GA-MA790X-UD4 with 8 GB DDR2-800 [Corsair 6400-C5 modules]. Hopefully i will get it stable without increasing the voltages anymore. If this thing passes, i'm going to buy GIGABYTE GA-MA790XT-UD4P to make it my own .. Time to say good bye to Foxconn Blackops and Core 2 Duo E6400
