The AMD Phenom II OC'ers Club

Oh i know its a weak board however he has a weak chip sitting in it. I have a feeling on any board with any normal air cooler it will not do over 3.6-3.8

Agreed.

 

[de.das.dude]

The 3.9ghz core isn't his limitation. He can't get past 3.4ghz with all cores enabled. Yes, I know some 4+1 phase boards can do it easily, his particular board uses not so good VRM's and chokes to begin with. It's the board.

no, the 3rd and 4th dont go past 3.4ghz. they are lemons i tell you!!

but the funny thing is i remember crunching with this chip at 3.6GHz 24X7.

maybe the power section that powers cores 3 and 4 are poopy?

 

[ChaoticAtmosphere]

FYI to all with Asus AM3 Mobos...they have a beta bios update to AM3+ now. Just in case you want to try the Bulldozer.

Heya Chaotic!!!! Here's where I have been crunching at the past couple days!!

1.5v dram/ 1.33v CPU-NB

Brought up my cpu utilization percentage back to 100% cause I needed some quick points for a Prize 1 draw in the contest. Im VERY VERY close to hitting that 50k.

Nice!!! And I'm assuming your daily quota has been upped since that OC is stable and not producing errors?

 

[JrRacinFan]

Still boggles my mind what it was that created those errors. OC was just fine, IMC was tested and everything but everything is good now.

Could have been a bad OC on memrory too. That can produce major errors/malfunctions and even corrupt files. But keep that OC if WCG and your computer is happy with it!

Hi guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally have a decent board for my Phenom II how ever I'm used to overclocking intel stuff to be honest.

I can do 3.64 ghz on stock volts but I want to try 4ghz as I've the cooling to do it.

But I'm not sure of voltage settings, there's so many for this board!

Reccomended voltages to try please?


Will take a picture of my bios if you need to know what voltages I can mess with.

Thanks

 

[de.das.dude]

take a pic of the bios.

 

[pantherx12]

Cheers

I think my NB volts are to high as well already

Your NB voltage is actually a little low and you CPU Vcore is excessively high IMO. Then again, I've never tried to push my die past 3.7Ghz. I don't have the cooling for it.

I can guarantee that the 1055T can easily hit 3.5Ghz Stable. My current CPU Vcore is 1.32v

Cheers for pointing that out, didn;t even notice! ( board not reading default settings right I guess)

well at-least I know my board can handle that voltage now, it should be running at 1.3250 :S

 

[ChaoticAtmosphere]

I haven't really found anybody who has successfully hit a stable 4Ghz with the 1055T. I've had mine as high as 3.7 but not stable. I had my Vcore at 1.35v for that OC. I wasn't sure what was causing errors so I brought it back down to 3.5.

It could have been my memory, but I wasn't in the mood to find out. Running boinc 24/7 without errors was more important to me than bragging about a high OC.

Still, getting an extra 700Mhz out of this baby is pretty cool.

 

[pantherx12]

Shit! Bloody board running that much voltage through it damaged it. So annoyed! Not run extra volage through the chip since I've had it then gigabyte run a warranty breaching voltage through it! Now I can't do 3.64 on stock volts. Fuming!

Sorry to hear that. When I saw 1.475v my reaction was !!! At least it's only a 1055T....could have been worse....it could have been the bulldozer. A new 1055 will only run you about 140$ (70£)

One rule of thumb when OC'ing is that it is better to undervolt and get a BSOD and only then then pump it up one notch at a time.

Always check your temps. Get HWmonitor. It is the first program I open when I tweak.

I do under volt : [

I'd been running 1.325 volts through since I've had the 1055t (turning it into the 95w version)

So annoyed I don't have a job so can't buy new parts and now my AMD warranty is gone thanks to gigabyte so if this goes wrong I'm buggered.


Temps are fine, with +10 degree offset due to the temperature bug I don't go over 45c .


Sent an angry email to gigabyte about this.

 

[JrRacinFan]

Heya panther! From your screenshot I notice 2 things missing, CPU-NB frequency adjustments and CPU core ratio. Where are those at?

I'm not familiar with gigabyte mobos but I think the CPU-NB freq is Named HT Link Freq and core ratio is CPU Freq.

Max OC with MAX VID Phenom II X6 1090T

Hi.
I've purchased X6 1090T BE Processor a few days ago and was playing with it yesterday.
I should mention that my Motherboard is GA-790x-UD4 and I am not able to Fine Tune all the VTT's at my liking - and the results:

Nope. With Gigabyte what it says is what it is LOL I have been on Gigabyte for years before getting this Asus.

@Panther

Update your bios first chance you get if you're not on the latest.

Nice clocks sirbaili I had it's big brother at one point in time UD4P, got an awesome deal on the Asus or otherwise I would still be using it.

at 1.475V shouldn't have killed of your CPU PII's are good for upto 1.5V before you need water cooling

I never let a mobo auto detect anything never ever in most cases you get underclocked ram and CPU

 

[YautjaLord]

I knew it!!! After i uninstalled (few months back) lots of apps (games, stress testing/monitoring utils, etc...) thus freeing disk space from (otherwise great) software "junk" jk, the OC i currently have (finally) validated @ CanardPC; took me the f***in' long enough to dare to do it. Next week (starting tomorrow) i'll probably up the CPU freq abit; probably to 201/202MHz from 200MHz right now. Tumbnail:

Wow, I've got a 1090T too, but I can't go over 4Ghz without raising the voltage to 1.575, and then to get to 4.3 it has to be at 1.65. Very scarily high. And then I see posts like yours, and wonder if my chip is bad, or if its my crapmonger board.
