If i can keep my temps under control which i doubt ill be trying on my 965

Velvet Wafer · Oct 17, 2009

i ran into issues. i have freezes, when clocking beyond 2500 NB and/or 250 htt...
anyone can give me a brief help with ddr3,am3 etc?
im not so familiar with that, until now :eek:

dir_d · Oct 19, 2009

Well ive been doing some tweaking and i got my NB stable at 2600 but since im using a 92mm fan i can only clock it to 3.6ghz. Im at 53c in Prime95 running over 2 hours. Im thinking its time for water because i dont want to get a 120mm CPU fan and be disappointed.
I got my timings on my Gskill Ripjaws from 9-9-9-24@1.5v to 8-8-6-18@1.5v. For some reason this ram will not go down to CAS7 no matter what at 1600. I gave it upto 1.8v with the rest of the timings stock and it still wouldnt boot 7. Does anyone have any tips or tricks or is this as good as it gets?

Any Suggestions or comments would be nice...thx

i use ripjaws, 1600, atm 7-8-8-24-33-CR1 1.65
trrd 4
twr 10
twtr 7
trtp 7

seems to be very stable

dir_d · Oct 19, 2009

Hmm maybe i got some bum Ripjaws then. I found another problem my, 2600 NB is stable but if i force CnQ on right when CnQ kicks on windows just turns to a blank screen. I even tried to use PhenomMsrTweaker and it still did the same thing. If i leave CnQ to auto it will never turn on, i guess the bios knows CnQ will make it unstable, does Anyone have anything related to this?

Velvet Wafer · Oct 19, 2009

how do you got to 2600nb?

on the ripjaws i got 7-7-7-24-30 1.70 stable

crazyeyesreaper · Oct 20, 2009

anyone got the gigabyte MA790gp ud4h need some help getting the most out of my setup lol

it has ALOT more options then my old asrock board so im a bit lost had an old MSI board for 3 years and then the asrock so all these options are fairly new to me

currently im at 3.4ghz at 1.35 and 2000nb at .25 more volts to maintain full 24hr price stability

anyway looking for some screenshots of ur bios settings with the 940 so i can clock in under that and test up to it so i know what i need to change to get the best i can out of this setup of mine

Assassin48 · Oct 20, 2009

It really depends on the chip,

my best advice would be to set everything to default and just use the CPU Multiplier till you fail Prim95 then bring up the voltage a little keep going till you hit a wall with temps 55C should be max temps and no more then 1.5v on air maybe 1.55 if temps are good under load

crazyeyesreaper · Oct 20, 2009

i usually dont go above 1.45 volts my asrock board i had to back off do to MASSIVE voltage issues set it to 1.4 in the bios and it would spike to 1.55 os yea so far the gigabyte board is rock stable

im looking for a 3.6ghz oc and a 2400nb i wont need anything more just enough to relieve some of the cpu bottleneck (its hot hre so far oced to 3.4ghz at with a slight voltage bump.

i figure someone with my board might be able to help tighten get the machine purring at my happy place haha without me having to do alot of work im lazy right now got some family issues just trying to get a quick stable oc without to much extra voltage and i know my chip can do 4ghz stable in prime it wasnt that hard on the asrock board its a damn good chip just no need to push it that hard i need this machine to last a good 2 years lol at the least

dir_d · Oct 20, 2009

Right now im running 3.7@200x18.5 1.4v stable but I hit the wall at 3.7 i cant get this chip to 3.8 no matter what. any combo of 3.8 whether it be 200x19 or lowering the multi and upping the FSB to 3.8 just dosent work, Ive upped the volts to 1.5 and it still wasnt stable. I dont get BSODs or freezes my monitor just goes blank and never comes back on. Does this blank screen happen to anyone else? Is it really a windows freeze but just goes blank?
On the brighter side the AS5 helped alot and my temps have gone down tremendously. Now im at 50c@3.7 compared to 55c@3.4

Finally got around to getting a real motherboard for my Phenom II 940, went from my old Asus M3A with a AMD 770 / SB600 chipset that barely supported it to a brand new Biostar TA790GX 128M with 790GX / SB750 chipset.

Velvet Wafer · Oct 24, 2009

enjoy it. but please cool the mosfets, they tend to explode when using more than 1.35v without cooling

btw, i worked out my problem probably

:

i hope it doesnt crash

Thermalright makes a couple different MOSFET coolers that fit perfectly on Biostar mobo's. I would know because I just sold my Biostar 790GX chipset mobo on Ebay with the MOSFET cooler too. Cheap insurance because I've seen a photo of one with blown FET's.

Advice taken, just ordered a Thermalright HR-09U type 2 Mosfet Cooler.

Shadow you need to update the first page. I changed my specs.

I agree, I'm not even in the member's list. which was OK with my old MB, but now I've got a real "Dragon" system, I think I should be there. If you need a CPU-Z validation I can throw a quick overclock above my standard 3.5 Ghz . I've had this new MB as high as 3.8 Ghz but don't want to push it any further until I get the Mosfet cooler on it

I havent seen Shadow posting too much though.

WarEagleAU · Oct 25, 2009

Alrighty, add me to this club please. Also, looks like I got my work cut out for me searching through this thread to find the best way to wring the highest clocks

Which one did you have on your mobo? The holes of the coolers don't match up to the ones with the thermalright specs....

WarEagleAU · Oct 26, 2009

Alrighty, here is a print screen of the CPU-Z Validation and also one from CPU-Z.

Enjoy.

According to the temp lcd poster of my ASUS thingy, my CPU is going at 38C

1Kurgan1 · Oct 26, 2009

So I was having issues with my GD-70 NB clocks. I finally managed to find stability with it at 2500mhz. I left it at 2500 for over a week just because it was really pissing me off before. Today I finally decided it was good and decided to up the CPU and RAM clocks. I was running 3.9ghz 24/7 on my DFI LP DK M2RSH. So I bumped it up to 3.9ghz and it wouldn't even boot. Neither would 3.8, 3.75 failed on desktop, so did 3.5ghz (whcih I had been running with my 2500mhz NB for the week), failed on 3.350, now running 3.0 stable. Beyond aggrivating.

Omega · Oct 26, 2009

Great OC score WarEagle... but I would rather go with 1333MHz or so and lower latency with 1T timing. Something like 6-6-6-14.. I think you would have better real life performance
