Just got Phenom II x6 1090T Retail

[ohms]

So... what is safe Vcore ranges for 24/7 use on the 1090T under water cooling?

[FlanK3r]

1.6V for 24/7

[FlanK3r]

imamage:some screens please? Thx

Guys,

I dont know about you but ive just read the review on the 6cores and the MSI 890fx GD70 and they say all in all its not that great. My heart was set on the mobo and cpu including a 5970, Could you answer one question is it really worth going to this if i have already a 790fxgd70 965 4.0Ghz 8gb 1600 only upgrade the graphics from 4870x2 to 5970.

What should i do.

[ohms]

1.6V for 24/7?! Are you serious?

I assumed that it would be in the same realm of the X4 965 @ 1.5V

[FlanK3r]

ohms: yes, with air u can 1.55V 24/7, im at 1.535V with AIR without problems, max stress temps 61C with AIR (in real apliactions max 55)

this is SOI AMD, not high-k Intels ,-)

[crazydiamond]

with my water i can keep 1.6v load temps on the cores around 50c

1.6v i safe with this processors on water, really? Hmm....

Why do you put so much into reviews? You have plenty of benchmarks here on XS. You'd have to think some sort of smelly nonsense is going on around on the "official" reviews of AMD stuff.

Yea, I'd say 1.6 on water is fairly safe for 24/7.. if they behave like older c2/c3's at least. Just keep things cool, including pwm/mosfets.
But no guarantees ofc, and I would be extra careful when cranking those volts on older boards

This type of info makes me want to go back to water and entirely put a new motherboard under water.

That's fairly high IMO compared to what I'm running my PII 945 at right now (1.5v). Good news. I'd be able to push x6 harder.

[i found nemo]

mind all of you tho, not all chips scale with volts.

1.6v can be used on air if the temps aren't high. I run 1.57v 24/7... with an Artic Freezer 64 Pro

I hate you guys. Making me want to ditch my Westmere for some 6 core goodness.

I'm sure you have the money from scamming people...

mee too 1.63v 52c

Ok from my point of view is it worth upgrading to 1090T + 890FX + 5970 or since i already have 965 + 790FX + 4870x2 should i only do the 5970 upgrade. Would i see benefit in changing all 3 ?

[hololoy112]

guys i am new to amd overclocking. regarding tempratures which application you are mentioning to monitor. is cpuz hwm ok or amd overdrive? and the 62 degrees which we shouldn't pass, is it the cores temps or cpu's?

How about just upgrading the cpu and graphics card?. So far it seems like 790fx/890fx is pretty close in performance from what Ive seen.

What batch is the cpu and week ?

To save some, in your case I would just wait for new BIOS (GD70) to support Phenom II x6 and get 1090T only

Hardware Monitor should be fine
I didn't have time for extent testing
But I have ordered Crosshair IV Formula (available tomorrow night)
hopefully I will get the mobo and CPU installed before Sunday

I put in a support ticket to MSI on what bios version to use for the 1055T on the 790FX-GD70 and they said to use the 1.A bios.

Just bought an Enermax MODU 87+ 600W
(ordered it online from Taiwan, s)
and I got more headroom to overclock (I push the mATX 270W SPI too hard, lol)

Finally got 4.5GHz CPU-Z Validated

This new PSU works nicely with the setup ,
the fan is quiet (Rare to see Gold color with fan )
and it run cool too

Too bad not much retailer sell Enermax in Hong Kong

[Manicdan]

thats on Air cooling right?
4.5ghz with less than 1.5v is incredible

[FlanK3r]

imamage: omg....awesome
