Phenom 9850BE low voltage overclocking results!

[fullinfusion]

its own power grid lol.

i got my 2nd 4870 on the way, lets see how my elec. bill does!

Lets see if your PSU can handle it...
what you using now CP?

Okay. Now I'm confused. Why, after 12 hours of stress with no BSOD, would I get a BSOD 20 or so minutes after I stop the the test while I'm only checking e-mail????

Kei is rite on this..... It's like running a High horse power engine at 18,000RPM for hours on end and than just shutting it down..... It just dont like that..... a tad more tweaking and you'll be fine...
With my 9850 all i needed to do to correct the problem was to give the cpu voltage one click more in the bios to fix it. Never happened again..... Just one thing..... Prime... Why?
you wanna burn up your mobo?
Stress with AOD...... its for the AMD cpu's (made for them)
after a run of 2hrs id download a movie that need's to be converted.... Eg...an AVI file (at least 700mb) and convert it to a DVD formate... ( you'll see how the power of the AMD NB-memory and overall bandwidth runs programs like this)..... use a converting program like this http://www.any-video-converter.com/products/for_video_free/
It works great..... with this program in the tools option, you can select 0-8 threads to run for the encode....Its a Sweet program for the I7 users as the I7 has 8 threads.... and also select real time.... I run it on 4 threads Real time.... It runns all cores like mad and is a great way to check your stability....

my PSU?

Read my specs now, i had something up my sleeve lol.

I got a PCP&C 860, peaks at 900+W

How do you code a link? without adding the web address.

Peaks at 930W and continuous 860w..... nice choice.... how many 12v rails does it have?

for those that wonder what secure virtual machine mode in the bios is for......

AMD security and virtual machine (SVM) architecture,
codenamed "Pacifica," is designed to provide enterprise-class
server virtualization software technology that facilitates
virtualization development and deployment. An SVM enabled
virtual machine architecture should provide hardware
resources that allow a single machine to run multiple operating
systems efficiently, while maintaining secure, resource-
guaranteed isolation.
1.1 The Virtual Machine Monitor
A virtual machine monitor (VMM, also known as a hypervisor)
consists of software that controls the execution of multiple guest
operating systems on a single physical machine; the VMM
provides each guest the appearance of full control over a
complete computer system (memory, CPU, and all peripheral
devices). The use of the term host refers to the execution
context of the VMM. World switch refers to the operation of
switching between the host and guest.
Fundamentally, VMMs work by intercepting and emulating in a
safe manner sensitive operations in the guest (such as changing
the page tables, which could give a guest access to memory it is
not allowed to access). AMD's SVM provides hardware assists to
improve performance and facilitate implementation of
virtualization.
1.2 SVM Hardware Overview
SVM processor support provides a set of hardware extensions
designed to enable economical and efficient implementation of
virtual machine systems. Generally speaking, hardware support
falls into two complementary categories: virtualization support
and security support.
1.2.1 Virtualization
Support
The AMD virtual machine architecture is designed to provide:
? Mechanisms for fast world switch between VMM and guest
? The ability to intercept selected instructions or events in the
guest

So in my books, it's set to off.

yep

single 12v rail, can't go wrong with PCP&C bro


I got it off fit3series, he had his overclocked i7, and 3 gtx 260's in sli never gave up on him. Plus the rails are adjustable

for an 80+ its ok..... i do however love the single rail Bro.....

single rail to me is the way to go, although there are many many great PSU's that are not single rai. My thermal take has been great to me Brad, I really cant complain about it.

Same cpu setting.... higher PCiE speed.... 100 vs 124MHz.... almost a 400Pt gain using the 9.2 driver... WHoOt!!!!

I think you have to use the href tag. tis been I while since I coded XHTML.

Nice Score! I get about 11-12k with my 3870.

Okay, So I'm staying put here. And as you all mentioned, a click up on the voltage should take care of the BSOD. I haven't had one since the one after the 12 hour stress. I will do another stress and this time with AOD. Thanks for all the good advice. My comp is running awesome right now.

With the above settings, and my GPU OC'd to 855Mhz and it's Mem @ 1200Ghz, I got creative with Fraps and VirtualDub to get the following Vid, I finally found all the settings so it would be processed into HD mode. Tell me what you think!!

turn your Plug N play off in the bios mate! FucG me bro this PII 940 just gets better n better day by day..... and FYI i've down graded to the 0602 bios..... way more stable than the 0703

Dam bro your cpu volts are soooooooooOoo low!!!! bump the FSB 3MHz at a time and just raise the cpu voltage one click in the bios.... you have a 3.6GHz cpu.... i SWARE IT...... ask CP.... i bet he comes close to an agreement with me on this!

I'll check my BIOS right now, I'm sure the plug 'n' play is disabled though.

No, things get all funny the closer I get to 250fsb. I tried 245fsb @ 1.35v and not stable. I don't get BSOD but temps fly through the roof and now Everest shuts down (turns red; "Hardware failure detected")

you heard WHAT i said CA.... raise those volts one click at a time for every 3MHz of FSB bro!

Than deop your FSB and raise the cpu multi half a click.... it works out that way.... and what are ya running everest for?

Okay I'll stop!! I'll use AOD from now on as you recommended! I'll try what you said when I get the chance, but whenever I go past 1.35v my temps go past 61c.

Here's how my PCI/PnP is set. Default.

your applying the cpu thermal paste wrong than......the tmps are way... way too high for what ya got...... show me or tell what your doing! (when applyin the paste)

 

[ChaoticAtmosphere]

I use Zalman ZM-STG1 TIG and I applied a thin layer to the CPU with the brush covering the whole die. I have layed it too thin and too thick, trust me Full, I've installed my big typhoon at least 7-8 times

 

[eidairaman1]

one thing if its being reported that high, i suggest you get a Temperature Gun and shoot at the base of the heatsink and then also shoot the NB directly, there is a possible chance the mobo has a crappy Temp sensor on it, or the bios is just screwed up.

you dont need to cover the whole die.... after lapping the 9850 and having the water block installed for a few months you could see where the cores are..... ill try to take a picture and post it if i can get the light to shine on it the right way to show ya what i mean...

hey brad great run bro


Chaotic, glad you are stable bro
