Phenom 9850BE low voltage overclocking results!

[fullinfusion]

Hey Aphex.... why you getting the bsod? you o/c'n to high?

 

[fullinfusion]

i used to get those errors in vista 64...
went to xp32, not one of those since

i get those errors also but only when clocking the shit outta the cpu and memory.... eg.. 3.1
3.5GHz and beyond
its a voltage thing for me though.... ahh its nice to be cooled with good ol H2o

read this and see what ya can make of it.... ppl are using AOD to down clock the 3rd core and it seems to be working....
and try this http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=929777

Yeah I used aod to downclock core 2 as well. But as soon as any of the cores 0 1 2 or 3 hit 3ghz my pc locks up after like 5 seconds. This leads me to Belive that my third core is fine but Vista 64 bit is holding me back for some odd reason. I don't want to revert to anything else, but perhaps a reinstall would help. I might consider it after all else fails.

I get it when I try to reach 2.9ghz. No matter what volts I give it. Max i've gone is 1.47 volts something and that didn't even help. 2.9 last for a while but eventually I'll get that infamous BSOD.

EDIT: fixed the volts thing lol sorry 4.7 volts what was I thinking.

 

[AphexDreamer]

Reading a bit more.... Do you guys think that maybe having 4x1GB Sticks of RAM at 1066 mhz is holding me back. I guess I'll take two sticks out and try 2.9ghz again.

"Put them on auto timings and speed.
A Phenom can't run 4 sticks above DDR800, it's probably where your errors are coming from."

have you stopped to think that mabey thats all the poor little thing will give ya with that mobo?
I've read that the new m3a79-T with a proc like yours that has a hard time clocking to 2.9 will clock to 3.4ghz with the 750sb chip
dont feel bad my friend im at my clock limit 24/7 and cant wait to upgrade mobo's

Im also going to wait for the Rev 01 to hit the markets providing it wont be that long away and if its going to be a while ill break down and pick up the rev 00 instead..

What ? im using 4 sticks 1GHz x 4 Tracers in mine and there 1066 sticks... im running over 1000mhz on 800 m ode in the bios with timings of 4.4.4.10.20 2.20v
i have no problems at either setting... (unganged)

 

[fullinfusion]

oh and get them off 1066 mhz mode.... thats your problem man... mine clock horrible in that setting.... id put them down to 800 mhz mode and try 4.4.4.12.25 for now at stock volts.. and now try raising the fsb a few notches and try it out...

The spamming will begin soon, soon like later today.

Hint: I got this really PHENOMenal feeling.

 

[Chicken Patty]

well, here is that PHENOMenal feeling I was talking about. Couldn't live without it

All stock for now. When I come back form the GYM later It'll all change

haha. Don't you worry, i'll have some updated soon. I will go and benchmark it now at default settings, see how it does. BRB.

Here we go, all at defaults.

Jake it up man.... go for 3.5GHz straight buy mulitplier only...

gotta go for now bro, i'll start working on it tonight when I get home hang tight


here is a 3dmark run, at default

 

[fullinfusion]

232x15 1.4v
3.48GHz
HT link as well as NB link speed is now 2552MHz ( smoking FAST )
I cant verify Cpuid.... it keeps saying when i go and validate that i cant validate till well 3 days from now?
it's been months.... any suggestions how to get it to validate.

HA!!! BUSTED!!! get to work mate (grrrr) lol.... and i have! i just dont know why i cant validate..... fukn Vista!!!!


sooo! ya hit 3.6GHz yet?.... and id recommend don't go over +1 on ACC.... i think thats what cooked your 9850 man.
I still think its a fault with the Rev 00 mobo.... im waiting for 01 to come out and is Go tyme man lol!!!

ACC goes by increments of 2. Now such thing as +1. I had it at +2. Bro I think I was just a bit aggresive on voltages, thats what I think cooked my CPU.

Well I tested 2.9ghz with 4gb of RAM at 400 667 and 800 no luck then I took out 2gb or RAM and tested it again at 400 667 and 800 and it proved to be even more so unstable with the 2 gigs of ram for some reason.

Now I'm back with al 4GB of RAM at 1067 at 2.9Ghz and currently posting this. (Just waiting for that crash.) I've altered a few bios settings this time so I'm going to go run 3DMark Vantage see if it'll hold up.

And Freaking sweet patty... I envy you!!

your doing something wrong man...

you need to set the memory at 400 mode in the bios.... and set their rated timings and volts in unganged mode and turn off the auto express...... try that... i assure you that that's half you problem...

what bios you using A?
