Has anybody ever used the

ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Killer

Before

If you want something to OC with Durvelle, that's not the board. Limited bios , it's more of a gamer setup. Here's a thread to have a look through if you want. http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=742602&highlight=killer

I'm trying to get back into the OC game lol.

Welcome back Durvelle, things haven't changed much, the 2 Asus boards are still top dogs in the FX arena IMO. You could always go for one of the Giga rev4 boards in the higher models like UD7 or higher. If I were you I'd keep an eye on the classifieds.

You were looking for red and black right? The sabertooth is all brown/green like camo colours.

Yea as I'm about to do a fully custom AMD build and want it to be red and black

F**k colors!!!!
What works the best is all that is required. I would rather have something that runs best and looks like a POS than looks the best and runs like a POS!

"it may be a bit short on amperage or power delivery, youd have to test another psu"
in next moth i will probably buy this one

that and case,after that gpu!and if that dont work like a charm i might transfer to the evil side!!!

Looks good Yautja, I had to replace the fans on my TT EX 2.0 to get a bit more out of it as well.

Placed the fans below the rad inside my case (HAF 932) so they'll push hot air out through rad fins, but regret it. Plus they spin "low" compared to my prev Scythe Ultra Kazes, will go for Noctua NF-A14 2000RPM 140mm PWM fans once have enough cash for those. BTW: it's my 2nd 600MHz OC in a raw, first one was with Phenom II 965BE (from 3.4GHz to 4.0GHz) back in 2011. Time to test this 4.6GHz OC with Prime95 this weekend. 2 hours of Prime95 torture test as usual?

There are cheaper fans that work as well or better. You need some good , high static pressure fans to push through that thick rad. I used 4 of these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...46009&ef_id=UwJRtAAAAPI-AC2j:20140624184708:s They're loud though when on full speed but they made a big difference.

 

[YautjaLord]

No such thing anywhere near me as NZXT fans I'm afraid Johan45 & rad accepts 140mm fans as far as I remember the screw holes placements in the H110. Thanx for suggestion man, regardless.

 

[URBAN303]

If the airflow performance outweighs the noise of air at 100% usage I recommend you Akasa Viper 140mm > = http://www.akasa.com.tw/search.php?seed=AK-FN063
Regulated via Speedfan, I replaced the 140mm Corsair Hydro 110 fans and I put two on the lateral side of the case
They are not red but very effective (110CFM @ 1600 rpm) ^^

A comparison; NZXT FX Enthusiast 120mm 120lb 3 Speed Fluid Dynamic Bearing Fan 2600rpm = 96 CFM @ 2600 rpm ... then Akasa are less noisy while being more efficient

But it's Akasa Viper are 140mm ... You have the Akasa Viper 120mm -> 83CFM @ 1900 rpm> http://www.akasa.com.tw/update.php?tpl=product/product.detail.tpl&no=181&type=Fans&type_sub=Ultra Quiet Fan&model=AK-FN059

Speedfan can control the speed of his fans, and you can create events for the regulation ^ ^

edit : They are yellow but it's true R9 280X Toxic too

@URBAN303 and @YautjaLord
The rad on the 110 is quite dense at 20 FPI. High CFM isn't going to work as well as higher SP fans will. I wasn't necessarily recommending those fans in particular but something specced similar. The NZXTs were close to 5mmH2O which is what you need to force air through a dense rad like that.

 

[YautjaLord]

@Johan45 & @URBAN303:

Once i'll have enough cash (not before August 10, that's given), i'll see if i can have any of the fans you suggested me & play with 'em. Thanx.

P.S. Speedfan - loved this app when still had the Phenom II 965BE, see no problem DL'ing it again.

After about 10 mins of run (probably, haven't timed it) i saw my PC not working & only the monitor's LED flashing: it's not yet Prime95 torture test ready. Said in a results log something like "640k test passed" probably for all cores cause it was repeating 8 times. Maybe some other time, for now i'll settle for C:R with [Multi]Threaded Crushing on & Carmageddon Max Pack @ fullscreen. Sorry if it'll sound off-topic but, will this 4.6GHz suffice for atleast one of GTX 760s? Thanx in advance.

It'll run the 760 without issue yautja, and I have to ask, are you sure your pc just didn't go to sleep?? It will even with P95 running. Been there done that. Just make sure windows power is set to performance and not to sleep or shut down monitor.

Hi guys. So I have a FX-6300 running on a ASUS M5A97 R2.0 and I'm wondering what budget cooler would allow me to get a 4 - 4.2 OC.

 

[suraswami]

CM Hyper 212.

In Power options i set it to Performance mode (monitor goes to "sleep" after 15 mins, PC - never), also almost all power saving options in BIOS set to off (doesn't matter, power saving set to Performance mode in OS) so it's not what you said. I went to eat something, it took something in a range of 5 maybe 8 mins, i came to check how's it going, saw PC not working, turned it on, checked the results log of P95 & saw just what i wrote few posts above. I'll have to buy new cooling stuff just to see how it'll perform compared to what i have now; remember - stock HAF 932 & H110 cooling accessories, it'll take some time, month probably to change fans & stuff to something better + i'll go for the ASUS's GTX 760 DCII OC August 10. I'll stay with this OC for now, will go for 4.7/4.8GHz once get my hands on the either Noctua's or other fans on August 10. Thanx.

P.S. Regarding the shut down monitor stuff - it was set to same value (sleep after 15 mins) even when i had the CPU OC'd to 4.4GHz on TR's VenomousX so it's not it either: monitor have been hibernating & P95 was still running for 2 hours straight & i posted the results.

P.P.S. I forgot, what to choose: Blend, 2 others above it or custom test when you run P95? Thanx again.

*EDIT*

FX-8350 @ 4.7GHz/CPU voltage 1.406v/VDDA 2.5000v/CPU/NB 2400MHz/HT 2200MHz/rest don't remember:

Basically default/not Turbo clock of FX-9590 or Turbo clock of FX-9370; need to see if it's stable in Prime95, probably not but atleast it's still validated in CPU-Z. Looks ok for something that cooled by H110, right?

 

[Johan45]

Use blend test for full test and small fft's to check CPU vs IMC/MEM

 

[YautjaLord]

Use blend test for full test and small fft's to check CPU vs IMC/MEM

Blend tests lots of RAM & most of everything, Small FFTs are for testing least amount of RAM/CPU's cache & more of CPU's stability - will go for Small FFTs 1st, then see how's Blend test doing. 2 hours of each are enough for this OC, right? Will also disable C1E in BIOS (still enabled, forgot to mention it) & monitor shut down options.
