The AMD Phenom II OC'ers Club

Im using the 1.51b beta bios, which has a NB/HT bug, specially with the 720be's if I am right. I dont think the ram is a bios issue, but will check it out later today. thanks.

 

[eidairaman1]

well try a older Beta Bios or a Stable release, I did however hear this tidbit of info

http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/790gxg65/

read that to see what the limitations are, also its expected you will have to overclock to reach the 1600 speed, Thats what happened to the Core 2 as well. By the way 1333 is JEDEC.

i threw up a case mod gallery of the new update for my phenom 940 oc, take a looksee and tell me what you think and ifyou think i should change anything. Right now i'm using just distilled water and nuffin else, i flush the system maybe once every 2 months, when i do my reg rad cleaning. any changes let me know
case mod july update

 

[eidairaman1]

Its nice n all, i was thinking about the XClio Super Tower 1000/2000 (ATX/Inverted ATX)

 

[mav2000]

BTW this is what the cpuz screenie shows...nothing at all on 1600 speeds and showing 533 as max bandwith..

 

[Flyordie]

Looked at my temps and got 33.8C (pretty good me thinks).
I looked again and got this-
30.9C or 87.7F

Thats an spd....."When an ordinary modern computer is turned on, it starts by doing a self-test / post. Since about the mid-1990s, this process includes automatically configuring the hardware currently present. SPD is a memory hardware feature that makes it possible for the computer to know what memory is present, and what timings to use to access the memory".
You can change the timings in bios

Thanks...but thats something I understand...what I dont understand is that it does not show any rated spec for 600, ie 800 mhz...anyways..

some help to get this going at stock speeds, ie 1600 mhz would be great......HELP...

i can not afford a new kit....

i wont get a crumb of its initial value when sold, if i have the luck that someone buys it....

and im german. i surely cant get parts of newegg..

sorry, i know you want to help me... but i need facts...and i assume that i always laughed a little at flow enthusiasm... no one proved me that flow in fact is a really urgent need... some got a nice review out there?

the Heatkiller isnt as restrictive as a d-tek for sure... i just have to rule out which power the pump must have... http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=210652

Sorry, missed this post.

Newegg is used only for reference. I was just showing you the kit I was referring to. They also have a 120mm version of that kit that will still out do your setup.

Yes, flow is in urgent need, when talking about the pump in the Thermaltake kits. Not only is head pressure a concern with that pump, but so is lifespan when you start to push it. They really are junk pumps. Sorry about being so blunt about it. I don't mean offense.

But you are correct when you say people go a bit overboard with "flow enthusiasm". You don't need a MCP-355 with an XSPC top for a darn cpu-only loop. lol.

And I haven't stumbled across a review that has both the Fuzion and the Heat Killer blocks, but from the results I've seen around the net, the Fuzion has less restriction than the Heatkiller blocks.

is everything about synthetics? i would hate if my rig wouldnt be capable of proper gaming...

Good bench rigs make good gaming rigs. You get to have your cake and eat it too. Benching is why I built this rig last year. Haven't been doing much benching since i7 came out and stole my thunder tho. lol.

I'm a drag racer at heart, both with my cars, and apparently with my computers as well. lol.

 

[mav2000]

Good show Sinar..super NB and HT clock especially...

On my issue, am trying to get someone at OCZ to have a look and let me know if I am missing something...after the bios flash to an older version and now back to the newest version, I get a checksum bios error, looking for usb drive or something error if I go for 1600......i am really lost with this thing now. Either the ram is not working as advertised or I am missing something very simple...

 

[ShadowFold]

There is a divider for up to DDR3-1600, anything after that you'll need to use the 1600 divider and up the bus speed.

 

[mav2000]

I am using the divider and it wont work...will link up some bios screenies once I am home.

[Flyordie]

Working on getting it higher on this board but its kinda fudged up me thinks...

http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=612901
I found the sweetspot for my board and the 920... im not tweaking it any further... Core 3 = FAIL at getting further than 3.5 @ 1.4V so... 3.4Ghz @ 1.375V = Good enough for me.

 

[Velvet Wafer]

a dfi should be better than el cheapo-biostar... how much ht does your board do?

 

[MrHydes]

i'm having some issues overclocking DFI 790FX MRSH with PII 940BE

if someone has the same setup, i would like few tips.

oh and benching with 3dmark the results are far from expected with 285 WC

with w3520 & classfied E6760 with 280 AC i don't need so much tweaks

 

[Flyordie]

I capped my HT out at 1,944Mhz with 1.2V.
NB caps out at 2,187Mhz with 1.3V
Now my NB will do 2Ghz with just 1.1V. So it might be a BIOS issue.

Phenom II x2 550 arrived today. Waiting on Sunbeam Core Contact for delivery tommorow. Gonna see what this baby can do on the SB750 chipset. Wish me luck unlocking and stabilizing the additional cores!
