Mojo Family playing AMD

[PcCI2iminal]

After years we had a chance to play AMD once again.

Asus M4A79 Deluxe and Biostar TA790GX3 A2+




2 x Phenom II


A full Chilly1 POT



But we had some problems before the action,the MA479 wont boot with some good sticks of DDR2
Crucial BallistX 6400(D9G)/AxeRAM 1200(D9G)/Corsair XMS2(Unknow ic) = no boot
I used Team 1066MHZ (D9G) but 2,2v is needed to ran dual channel,anything less than 2,2v (single works fine) is a no boot but i have no stability at 1180MHz or greater.... but all these sticks runs great on Biostar and i dont need to push the vddr to 2,2v to boot with dual channel ,so its an Asus bios issues maybe

anyway ,here is the first scores with AMD plataform

Asus with Phenom2 940 BE (0849APBW) - few days ago

into windows at 5400MHz with all cores


the Magic6 is possible but with one core only...
single channel (6027MHz)

dual channel seems to be the same(6025MHz)
http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=496704

Ive tried several times but with all cores I only can reach 5850MHz(1,78v) and max vcore didnt help ...

Pi1m at 5800MHz


Biostar A790GX3 A2+ and Phenom2 940 BE(0852GPGW) - yesterday
I did a quick test and i reached 6Ghz+ but with no validation ,yesterday the cpuz was updated to 1.50 and i was tryin with old version hahahah

anyway the max screen with all cores is 5978MHz (1,8v)^^


and we maked a new session of benching a few hours later with the properly validation tools but with no luck , the best validation is 5939MHz with one core
http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=507402


Well,We are totaly AMD noobs and I dont know how really good are these cpus,with the old one (week 49) we can not reach more than 4Ghz on air and with the new(week 52) 4GHz is possible but only good for Pi1m and nothing more but it needs more than 1,6v.

anyway ,we are looking for big numbers and not air stability and next week i will re-run everything again and i will use Biostar + new F1-EE from Vince ^^

Thx Biostar TW for the great TA790GX3 A2+

very nicely done damn soooo close to 6ghz with all 4 cores too.. well you know what you need to do... KEEP PUSHING IT

[PcCI2iminal]

thx my friend,
well, i need to learn how to use AMD again and some luck is welcome

[ZoLKoRn]

Congrats for 6GHz done ! and looking forward to next benching

[blind_ripper]

nice work PcCI2iminal

[rbuass]

Good work again
Let s see AMD growing...will be good
Hugs from Brazil

[Lightman]

Nice clocking on both samples

I'm really amazed by the Biostar, they seems to be doing what DFI was couple of years ago!

[Zeus]

Great clocks!

Maybe you should give bios 0903 a whirl, it might play nice with your ram.

[George_o/c]

Nice job Mojo Family

Where is the other girl ? I think she was Yoko's sister, am I right ?

[Bullet92]

Very nice job Mojo family

[PcCI2iminal]

yeah ,they are on the right way ,the Biostar is cheap and clocks like hell and I can use my AxeRAM

Hooray for Mojo family and AMD comeback Competition is good

[x-powerx800pro]

Biostar 790GX 128MB limit of the overclocking strengthened.

[OverDozeD]

Great clocking
Only 1 question
Why did you use such powerful GPU only for 2D benches?

well ,competition is always good Ron...Phenom2 is funny ,we play with full pot all the time and LN2 take ages to gone
but Mojo Family still on the blue side of the force hehehehe

3d benching soon my friend ,very soon

[loc.o]

Cannot believe i missed this one, nice results my friend. Looking forward to 3D

[PcCI2iminal]

6GHz



max htt



and thx for Biostar TW for the new bios beta with good improvement on stability and for all support

thx Bart,i dont think that cpu is any good for 3d benching ,4.9GHz - 5.2GHz range but of course i will try with my new toy ^^T

[loc.o]

Good choice, youll love it

Great chip And congrats with your new toy You will love it

[over@locker886]

Congrats to 6Ghz on AMD! Very good playing Mojo Family!

Actually, I mean you could reach better clocks with lower GPU power IMHO

[PcCI2iminal]

thx guys

yes i c the point and thx for advice but i have a "little problem" here,no pci card in hands or any card with tdp lower than GTX285 to use now
my choices are
Asus 8800GTX
Zotac GTX295
and that Galaxy GTX285

i havent tried the integrad grafic but i dont think it will work in these conditions

[Fr3ak]

Very nice results! Max HTT is a little low =/

Did you try lower CPU mutliplicators?

I only tested y 940's so far and they could booth do 350-360 MHz HTT on air and 417 with dry ice, but using the Gigabyte board (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=213991).
