Phenom 9950 overclocking

[Chicken Patty]

Drool's....i have now..... hey D.... that rez you have..... you have a link so i can see if they have a rez like yours but smaller?
Do they have one thats 7" roughly?
I also love the neon flare your rig emits bro!!!!
I was picking up the Reaper ram yesterday from my local shop and seen an I7 x58 GIGABYTE mobo with real sick nb and sb coolers on it....... im thinking of saving my penny's and getting it.....id go for the Extreme intel I7 chip....... Is I7 hard to o/c? What ram should i buy?
If i do get it in the next 2 months will ya teach me step by step to Over clock?

thanks dude, I love the blue, green is brighter, but this is just soooo nice.

As far as i7 buy some crucial ram http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148246
this ram is sick, it has D9 chips, and overclocks great. For the Res, sure they have smaller ones, see link below, and yes I will help you overclock. Note, the extreme edition i7 cpu is not all that great, not worth the money at all if you ask me.

Just wanted to say hello to everyone, and to thank all of you for your expert advice on OC. I just finished my first new build in about 8 years. Hopefully have some benchmark numbers to show in the next couple of days.

Welcome to the club

Remember to enable ACC in your Bios if your OC'ing the 9950

 

[dcmille290]

I appreciate the Welcome, 3D. I will check on the ACC, my memory is not as good as it used to be or I'd say it is already enabled.

Welcome bro!!! just do us a favor and dont use image shack.... use TPU free image hosting. under the techPowerUp header (top left of the screen)

Thanks FullinFusion, Will do that, didn't even see that option available. Cool.

ChickenP, I will get around to running some numbers later today.

Thanks,
DCM

 

[dcmille290]

OK.........I give up guessing. ChickenP what is ACC? I have searched the several pages of BIOS and don't see it.

Thanks in advance,

I have no idea what happened.

bro I have no idea how to enable it in your BIOS, i've never used your board. However ACC is just something that stabilizes the CPU to allow for a higher overclock. I've googled this a million times and never really get an answer.

Thanks in Advance??? You just made a pun and you didn't even know it!! And welcome to the club btw dcmille!!

I think the answer to your question is........wait for it...............................42.




All jokes aside though, it stands for Advance Clock Calibration. What it does?? Who knows. But I think it calibrates your advance clock. Or maybe it calibrates your clock when you advance...regardless, just like any other setting play with it a step at a time and it will give you better overclocks. I have mine set a +2% on all cores.

DCM

Ctrl +F1 in your main Bios page, that will reveal some hidden Bios options including ACC

 

[dcmille290]

Been spending lots of time on those CTRL/F1 pages, it's really cool. The last time I built a system, wasn't much adjusting to do. Sounds like back when the dinosaurs roamed................

Thanks everyone for the help,

Oh yeah...the dinosaur days...they weren't that long ago for me, about 3 months to be exact....jumpers to change the FSB and lucky to get an extra 300Mhz out of my 800Mhz AMD Athlon

3dSage, Would you have a look at your BIOS when you get a chance and see if you can see the ACC setting? My Gigabyte is running Award BIOS.

I booted up AMD OD and noticed in the settings that the ACC was greyed out for all four cores. So it has to there in BIOS somewhere........

Thanks,

DCM

 

[dcmille290]

Getting better at this, I found with the 780G I could bump it up from 500Mhz to 650Mhz with no appreciable heat gain. If someone knows something about this I don't, please feel free to pass on your concerns.

Thanks,

DCM

Hey dude what bios are you running? change over to F7 if your not on it ATM.

I just checked the Gigabyte site, and I started off with F1, have been using F3c for a couple of weeks now. I didn't see another version available other than that, did you?

Model GA-MA78GM-USH2

Thanks,

I think you got a hard outclock Meizuman, he hit 3.8GHZ on his 9950 not to long ago.

But he has his local Artic Weather to thank.

Here's Meizuman's screenie BTW I seen a few PII's around here that cant hit 3.8ghz

http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=535241

It will take more than 7 months to get those low temps again. So If I will still will kill u (wait, what?) then I have to get DICE and some sort of thingie that I'll put on top of my chip. Till then, it will most probably be quite quiet from my side. But lets see what happens...

 

[crtecha]

So If I will still will kill u (wait, what?)



Ditto what?!?!

 

[ChaoticAtmosphere]

seen the rig lately Brad?

That's a cool shot CP and quite impressive

Congrats on your 5k achievement too!
