Phenom 9950 overclocking

[MKmods]

woo hoo... ever higher

LOL, Im way too chicken to go directly for 3.4

bro you're getting some really nice low voltage clocks, is this your 24/7 setting?

Ok, here are some results with the new RAM

Old Super Talent RAM @ DDR2 1066 2.1v 5-6-6-20


New Tracers at 1066 5-5-15-20


Just switching RAM was about .3 off a super pi run. But keep in mind that my super talent ram at 1066 caused some stability issues that are now gone with the new RAM. Here is my best so far, Tracers at 4-4-4-12 2.2v, Set to DDR2 800 to allow some room for overclocking.

Best at 3.26 GHz, gotta try at 3.4 GHz and see

That seems to be its sweet spot..hard to get benches higher.

One lesson I learned is my 9600GTs kick the Asus 9800GTs ass. First I was REALLY pissed they wouldnt work in Tri Sli even though they have the connector

I went back to my trusty ECS 9600GTs and my 3Dmark06 score went up 1K to over 15K.

Edit: I spoke too soon, seems a bit faster with the 9600s

(definately WAY cooler with the Acceleros)

ewwwwie tracers

i've got my reason to own tracers

Anyways, better than what I had, by far.

not bad Mkmods, how much of a difference is it from 1t to 2t as far as performance? Have you tried doing a run with the same settings at 2T to see what you score?

 

[MKmods]

the 2T scores are lower, there is a noticeable diff.

how much voltage did it take your RAM to run 1t over 2t?

 

[Chicken Patty]

Couple of Runs with new RAM

a run @ 3.3 GHz


a run at 3.4 GHz

 

[MKmods]

very nice.. Pretty amazing because I remember hearing the 9850/9950 sucked because they wouldnt OC, Ha Ha....

I am really careful (1.3V only) Arron from Integrity PC gave me the CPU so I am really careful not to wreck it...I always set my comp to run 1T. Tomorrow my new mobo gets here (Bio N750) so I will do the OC thing with it and pop in my other Hdds to see if a faster Raid does anything in these benches.
(right now I am using 2 laptop Hdds in Raid0)

Hmm, I am trying to get my RAM to run at 2t, but I dont think thats going to happen running at 1066 eh???

Oh and about Phenoms not overclocking, well they aren't the best, but get a good chip and this is possible

[Chicken Patty]

or even this, and with the old RAM, imagine with tracers how much better I could have done

What I loved about my 9850 was the voltage, and it was amazingly stable at that speed, it just messed up due to me providing wayyyyy tooo much HT voltage, 1.5v



heres a 3dmark run at 3.4GHz, never got to do one at 3.5 or 3.55GHz

 

[Chicken Patty]

MKmods, do you have the 140w version or the 125w phenom 9950?

 

[MKmods]

mine is the 140watt version.
WOW that 1 4870 is almost as high as my 2 9600GTs in 3DMark06.

 

[Assassin48]

I have a Foxconn A79A-S and i am having trouble finding the cpu multiplier here are my Bios options:

 

[MKmods]

not every mobo bios has that. Look under the Fox Central Control unit section.

@mkmods u are right

@assassin rtfm!!!!!!!!!!!!!! page 3 manual

here it is

which one, mine?

 

[Chicken Patty]

here it is

assasin, try to bring out what each menu shows and take pictures so we know what options you have.

you have any idea what stepping it is, you're able to do 3.2GHz at default voltage, that is very good bro.

Wasn't there somebody in here that was asking how the AMD AOD auto clock worked?

Anyhow, I tried it today. It basically ups the FSB a few clicks then raises the multi and then the FSB back at 200, then a few more clicks and ups the multi, its ok for a novice, but I can do a lot lot better on my own hehehe. THanks for the assistance anyways AOD
