720 Fail. - Page 2

Exeodus · Jun 22, 2009, 03:46 PM

1.4 volts is probably not enough for 3.6, you will need 1.45-1.5 to stabilize. It took 1.5 for my PII 940 to run 3.6ghz.

Yeah I think you missed something.

Here let me recommend a good game for ya. You might want to give this a try before you go play L4D.

Studabaker · Jun 22, 2009, 04:17 PM

L4D is gay. I'm the best COD4 player on this site but thanks anyway.

That is not necessary. What is trying to say is that just because the core fails while overclocking, that does NOT mean it is a faulty core. If it works fine at stock speeds, the chip is doing it's job. Overclocking is not guaranteed, it is luck of the draw.

You need an infraction? I don't look at smiley faces, just content.

Yes. And when I get unlucky chip, I send unlucky chip back and get happy chip!!!

Now everyone pipe down. Stay on topic, and if you don't want to be helpful don't freaking post.

Kantastic · Jun 22, 2009, 04:23 PM

If the chip is fine @ stock is that a valid reason for an exchange? Unless you're returning it then purchasing another one. o.o

Wow, and you're being so nice about it. You're a bad mod. This is like the 5th time I say this. You really are a bad mod and you really need to relax.

DOM · Jun 22, 2009, 04:33 PM

why is it a bum core ? you need to find what volt settings you need to get it stable when you oc

it took me 2days to get my parents amd rig at a stable oc also it was my first time ocing a amd rig

so if you just dont know what your doing ask for help on settings

I don't think he's a bad mod... he comes off as a little obnoxious sometimes but he's to the point and does his job the way it's supposed to be done.

Whether he's a bad mod in your opinion or not, this isn't the place to complain about him (or shoot childish insults at him). There is a Comments & Feedback Forum right here. Feel free to make a thread about him if you think he's a bad moderator and the admins or other moderators haven't noticed.

KieranD · Jun 22, 2009, 04:46 PM

whats the point in that use the multi to overclock every x3 720 does about 3.6ghz with 1.45 v and less

also try give the NB a bump in volts

EDIT: OPPS i was postign tho the original post i then read you tried that already erm it could be the nb multi or the htt link?
other than that a bad core

does it work on default settings?

Heres what I got so far.

A. I overclocked the bus to 230 which brings the CPU up to 3.2. Could this error be from a lack of power? Should I up the voltage?

B. Its not the temperature. I never break 39c after hours at 100%.

Any suggestions?

<< I just noticed this is my 2,720th post.

My Biostar board absolutely hates any NB freq above 2000. So when I OC even without raising HTT I have to lower the NB freq to 1800 and raise the cpu multi. But my CPU I know will hit 4 Ghz (cdawall's cpu and he has proved it). So its my board that is behaving bad and I have reported this issue to Biostar and hope they are working on it. The cpu can work at 3.8Ghz @ 1.44v stable if I drop the NB freq to 1800. I have upped the NB voltage to more than 1.3v and still the same issue.

So try the multi OC with NB freq less than 2000. You should be good.

Well once I replace the CPU Ill try this if I still have the same problem. The thing is Shadow had the same board as me and his 720 hit 3.6 without an issue.

Kenshai · Jun 22, 2009, 05:10 PM

Have you tried pulling two sticks of ram out? The MSI board I was using for a while didn't like my Patriot ram at all. Also for stock are you setting everything to auto or are you setting it to the stock settings?

If it fails at stock settings, its RMA time!!

I guess its RMA time. Why not get the 955 instead (if budget allows)?

TheLaughingMan · Jun 22, 2009, 05:33 PM

Yeah, if the core will not work at stock, it is time for an RMA. Go think for 5 year warranties.

It has been my personal experience that you should not OC a CPU as soon as you buy it. I always give my CPU's a week of normal operation at stock before I go monkeying with stuff.

P.S. The 720 is a Black Edition CPU. You do not need to change the FSB to up the clock. You can simply change the multiplier on the chip. This would allow you to OC the CPU independently of the RAM.

Jun 22, 2009, 05:46 PM

or get a x2 550 and be lucky to unlock all 4 cores ive seen many doing that...
+ looks like you've got an unlockable board too just get the right steping

edit and some luck
