The AMD Phenom II OC'ers Club

[DV8tion]

Yeah my memory is the weak link in the chain here I think. I get core errors in occt at weak OC's but when I go up in the clocks it's always a memory error that gets me. Have a look at this and tell me what you think.
CPU
Ratio: 18.5
FSB Freq: 214
PCIE Freq: 100
DRAM Freq: 1115
CPU/NB Freq: 2508
HT Link: Auto
CPU V: 1.55
CPU/NB V: 1.35
CPU VDDA: Auto
DRAM V: 2.1
All the rest of the voltages are on auto
spread spectrum: Enabled
AI clock skew: Auto for both channels

[Darknova]

Disable Spread Spectrum, that will help a lot. It causes instabilities with overclocks.

[DaMulta]

turn that link crap off

spread spectum should be off

ai clock skew turn that off

CPU/nb turn to 1.40 to 1.45
cpu vdda 1.4v
cpu v looks ok

(can u run your memory slower for now?)


turn that cpu/nb as low as you can with HT at first

If you havent yet.

[DV8tion]

I can't turn HT Link off LOL how low you think it needs to go?

[DaMulta]

as low as it can go at first


Why can't you turn it off?

This is why I liked the MSi 790FX board

[DV8tion]

I dunno isn't it kinda like the fsb ? gotta be there but lower than the cpu/nb ?
I'm used to having multipliers for these things on my DFI boards.

[DaMulta]

yes it's the new thing for AMD+/AM3

You can't have it higher than the HT(or it's the other way around)

Turn those two as low as you can nb/ht then then up the ref(the 200 one)

[DV8tion]

You have no idea how much I miss my DFI boards ....... ASUS has always been the evil Sith in my OC world.

You think that's bad? Try going from a DFI/AMD setup to an Asus/Intel setup. lol.

I did but not DFi but all those bios's are the same lol

Damn it's like WTF does this do and what the hell is this for lol

[DV8tion]

I dunno man that Genie BIOS that the DFI boards have ..... Every little pickin way you can adjust something ..... they got it in there. Worried that they were goin titts up though. If they hold out I'll go back. But I can't really complain about the results I been gettin.

No, the DFI bios definitely has more options than just about any other manufacturer. Especially in reference to ram settings.

[KieranD]

CPU/NB Freq: 2508mhz

well i think that should personally be 2ghz, i mean the NB shouldnt be more than 2ghz and the HTT shouldnt be more than around 2ghz

My 790GX LP Jr. is lacking in the ram settings for some reason. I'm not concerned however, since this is the first DFI board that has embraced my axeram. Running 1000mhz 2.1v 4 4-4-12!!

No way! Get that NB as high as you can go and keep the HTT around 2ghz.

[KieranD]

i have a CPU NB FID multi i have no idea what to do with it, its at 8x but i figured it should be at 9x in the end i found out it dosnt matter what i set it at as it always goes to 2ghz

why does the NB have to be higher than 2ghz?

[ShadowFold]

So does having the HT Link and NB Freq high do anything in games?
My HT is at 1800mhz on my Kuma, I have no idea what it is on a 720 and how high they go lol

does it do anything lol i dont understand why ocing the NB would do anything to performance

[ShadowFold]

Then whats the point? Higher epeen scores?

[KieranD]

lol i have no idea wait till erocker tells us whats up with the NB

i understand that by adding in more NB voltage i can get higher clocks tho but i dont add to much just like 150mv

EDIT: on my old setup i never had any NB settings now i have voltage and a CPU NB FID multi that i have no idea what does lol

i dont want to change ram to much beyond the usual settings coz its gota lot of ram settings

[KieranD]

okay this is funny i have 2 sticks of the exact same ram except ones has a different cooler colour

they are rated at 5-5-5-15 1.8v coz they are not the best but okay but one stick according to cpuz runs at 5-5-5-18 lol i dont understand that, im going to for no reason swap the ram slots see if its one of those random isnt picking it up right things

maybe it does run like that? lol it dosnt matter does it

[ShadowFold]

Did you get them in a kit? They make revisions to ram alllll the time.. My corsair sticks, according to newegg, are suppose to do 5-5-5-18 1.9v but on the packaging it says 5-5-5-15 1.8v. And they run at that too.

[DaMulta]

Will they do 3-3-3-10 at 2.0-2.2v?

[ShadowFold]

Uhh don't know, and probably wont try lol I don't like running ram over 1.8v.. I've had SO much ram die on me it's not even funny anymore. It's just sad.

[KieranD]

no its not a kit i bought them separate yeah maybe it is that but why would the newer stick be rated with a looser timing? yeah i know just by a hair

what fracking ram would do 3-3-3-10 at 2.0-2.2v? lol i want some

[erocker]

From what I understand higher NB means less bottlenecking between whatever and whatever... lol HTT not so much. Seriously that's all I know/was told.
