Phenom 9850BE low voltage overclocking results!

[cdawall]

Schweet! I see you got your ram timings to work with you too now. That's a might sweet clock too (remember he was starting at 2.2Ghz Phenom 9500) and on a nice low voltage too!

Gonna do any stability testing on it? If so remember I recommend using Everest System Stability test over any since you're on a 9500 cpu. You can select the CPU and FPU options and leave the cache alone. If you do that you should be perfectly fine avoiding the TLB issue and get a valid test. You can test the rest using Memtest so we know the ram is stable and call it a day

And your wallpaper...I wonder when those are gonna hit the public I've seen it in person already but of course not on the road yet. I did see a new Challenger driving the other day though.

its stable enoug to urn scm2 a couple of times

Can't do it with your board, Crosshair=Nvidia. AOD only allows independent core overclock with AMD 790 chipsets. Have you adjusted the voltage in the bios by a notch or two? What are your bios settings? What CPU fan are you using and do you have good air flow to the HSF?

Throw up your system specs so we can better assist you.

HAVE PUT UP MY SPEC HOPE IT SHOWS I UPDATED THE BIOS TO 0701 AND NOW HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE CPU VOLTAGE IT PUTS IT UP TO WHAT EVER IT FEALS LIKE AT 2.7 ITS 1.29 THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY HOPE YOU CAN HELP

it makes no diffrence if i use my multiplier on 14x or if i put my fbs up to 220 the result is the same i crash

I just checked back through your 2 posts and I still don't see what your specs are to achieve your current clocks...also what have you tried already to achieve higher clocks? I'm not sure the newest version of your bios so I can't say how well it'll do with the processor.

When you say it chooses voltage for you I assume you mean that it's on AUTO right now and you "can't" change that correct? Have you tried using the +/- keys to change the voltage, some boards use that in their bios (actually majority of boards these days) so you don't use arrow keys to adjust voltage. Try that out.

1.29v is the stock voltage (it's actually 1.30v but most programs show it as 1.296v) which is why it shows that reading. Have you tried to find the max bus speed you can run at, OR the max multiplier you can run at, we still don't know what exactly you have done yet...can you clear that up?

K

Btw...turn off your caps lock haha

 

[servermonkey]

So...did anybody with a 790FX board buy the 9950BE yet? I was the last guinea pig and bought the HD4850 so who's turn is it to go first this time?

K

tempted to....where are the sb750s?

 

[Kei]

Still waiting on those, but I check like everyday just in case. You see my uber clock...I'm trying to gloat and if you don't mention it then it won't work hahahahahaha.

never been real good at hw.....

Hot damn! Nice clock Monkey, I'm gonna buy you a whole bunch of bananas if you keep it up!

left f@h running...it prolly wont last....but maybe......

 

[Viscarious]

here we go

cpu is at 1.33v not 1.3v thats all it took to get stable

YES! NEW CAMARO!!!

Needs to be yellow, orange, or black tho. : /

 

[Viscarious]

500 FSB? What are you doing? Running an intel AMD hybrid? LOL

Indeed good clocks since I went to bed. Seems like everyone is getting some nice scores too.

I dont think I will buy the 9950...however!! I will buy an am3 board and see if that will help with my current 9850. If it doesnt then I'll return it and buy the 9950. Either way...Its a few months away.

 

[Kei]

I think I'm with you on this one Vis, the 9950BE may not really be that much 'better' than the 9850BE I already have now. Sure it may get a slightly better clock...MAYBE, but that doesn't matter too terribly much to me as I'm waiting for AM3 and/or the 45nm Phenom's before I upgrade again...unless I get bored and just buy one just to play with.

Right now I'm waiting patiently for AM3...good call on the Camaro colors though. I might not be the most American guy but I know it when it's right! Speaking of right...the new Challenger is better hahahahaha

K

 

[Viscarious]

Yea, the Challenger is just amazing. They did a really good job remaking it. Too bad its so expensive. $40k is a bit on the ridiculous side. When I was young, I remember my dad buying the camaro that I have now. He paid 24k after trade-in and a 3k down payment. And that was almost 9 years ago or so. If I was to buy a new car on my own, I think I'd go with either the new Camaro(must be SS), an Evo, or a STi. I have been for a while tho, considering buying a bike for gas mileage. And all the girls love bikes. So thats a +.

 

[Kei]

Haha, I've been thinking of getting a bike a lot lately as well. I'm thinking a Ninja 250 as I don't weigh enough to need anything bigger than that and I can always make it faster (as if it's not fast enough). The fuel economy on that monster is RIDICULOUS (whether it's an '08 or '89) and the price is always right. Even a brand new '08 is only $3500 right now in my area!

If I was buying a new car today humph....ummm it's prolly still be an RX-8 (I told you I'm a rotary head), if not then it'd be a G37 as it's quite beautiful and I liked the G35 Skyline models as well. Don't like much of the rest of them though...

If I bought an Impreza it'd be the older models as I really loved their boxy flared shape and think the newer models are too...un-Subaru like. No matter how fast the new models (EVO or Impreza) I prefer the older models anyway...haven't like the EVO since they VI which was the last cool one to me. The rest of them are American market cool movie type cars instead of what they were. Obviously no offense to America ($hit I live here) but hopefully you know what I mean?

hoows this for a 9500

 

[Kei]

Btw...those f&ckers are F-A-S-T even if they are wrong!

 

[Kei]

HOT DAYUMN! I knew I shoulda just kept playing with my 9500 but I was happy with my clocks so I stopped pushing it. Always wondered how far it would've gone. Perhaps you can eventually reach 3Ghz, that's highest I've ever seen one get to.

Either way you're SMOKIN right now!

[fullinfusion]

gee i leave for two days and what a bunch of progress i see happening.... SWEEEEEEET ppl!!!
the other ram came in today also and it's different then the one's i got last week... it has 16 lights vs only 8... i know now it's the true D9 micron chips... hope they give me some extra bang!!! oh and my cold cathode black lamps also arrived.... shit i didnt know the red on the 3870x2 was uv reactive.... looks sweet... bbl

 

[kenkickr]

Wow, another person that can get straospheric HT Bus speeds! Ken...you wanna pick out my next processor cuz apparently you're really good and 2nd chances haha.

What were you able to achieve at the 12.5x multiplier so far?

Btw I beat you guys and got a much higher FSB on my next test!

K

HaHa I guess I'll never win at anything! Serious now, I tried 8.5, 9 without problems but when I would go to 9.5 and beyond my system wouldn't boot. Shut her down, she knows she's a bitch sometimes, and welcomed with 3.625Ghz!!! I'll play some more tonight when I'm at home. Have alot of systems to work on so gotta go!

 

[Kei]

3.3 GHz is good for a Phenom, is that a Star 50 or a Star 00 chip?

That, is not a Phenom it's an Athlon chip. He doesn't have his Phenom yet.

it wont post at a 259HT so no idea if there is just a setting that needs to be turned down or what i still have the custom AM2+ P states set to auto so it might be something in there....

this is were she sits stable might have to lower some dumb things to get 2.84

 

[Kei]

...welcomed with 3.625Ghz!!!...

explain...cuz right now I'm reading a 3 as the first number...as in 3.awholedamnlot Ghz

ok go...

Sweet! welcome back...we took a poll and came to the conclusion that nobody gave you "off" for the weekend so you're in trouble now.

[eidairaman1]

well Kei, I believe this about AM3, Not Rushed, delivered ontime, not bugged as 65nm (Odd Multiplier) was from Athlon-Phenom Line (Performance numbers didnt match up to the Old ones, aka 4800= 2.4GHzx2, 2.5x2= 4800 (X2 Line) (X). I believe 45nm is AMDs turn to shine.

 

[cdawall]

little question WTF is this

 

[eidairaman1]

does it say anything in your motherboard manual about it?
