Anyone have a problem with acc on the 940 mine if put on auto it wont post and my bios wont recognize the chip higher then 3.7ghz

This has been reported in a number of cases. Has something to do with ACC built into the chip. You have to keep it disabled.

with phenom II ACC is build in and does not need to be activated or so I'm told and is useless

My chip also failed to post with ACC on. I have only been able to get 3.52 stable (220x16) 1.44 vcore. However I think that my bios doesn't fully support this chip. CPU-Z lists the specification as "AMD processor model unknown". But at 3.52, it does a sub-20 second SuperPI 1M. At least it is a step in the right direction.

I think they are

Testing trying to get stable now.

My x4 940 and Biostar TFORCE TA790GX A2+ board arrived last evening and now I've got everything up and running... except for one thing

My beloved xigmatek s1283 wont fit because the fins cover the first 2 memory slots. :mad:

I can't change its orientation either. :banghead:

So I am stuck with the stock cooler (which I must say is quite nice for a stock cooler)

Shes up to 3.6ghz stable at 1.4vcore, though I think I could reduce that some.

Assassin48 · Jan 13, 2009

Seems that 3.8ghz does better then 4ghz in 3dmark06

3.8 = 19702

4ghz is stable but it only does 16xxx in 3dmark06

any ideas on what i should do?

i am also on vista 64

Chicken Patty · Jan 13, 2009

congrats castiel, keep us posted bro.

trt740 · Jan 14, 2009

Ignore the voltage I cranked it because I'm lazy

First I tried the changing the Htt and it's getting better.

Ordered a 940BE and DFI 790FXB.. this should be fun

usually when you have a lower score with a higher overclock it means the overclock is not "as" stable.

getting near 4.0ghz on air so much for msi not overclocking

trt740 · Jan 15, 2009

little super PI for ya

Chicken Patty · Jan 15, 2009

Congrats on the 4 GHz

well 2.1 mhz off but close it's my ram. It appears to me these AMD chips unbottle neck the GPU just as well as Intel ( or very close I should say) and that's a big step for AMD

what do you mean its your ram? is that whats killing your OC?

PaulieG · Jan 15, 2009

Looking good Tom. I'm being gentle with my chip because I just sold it. Waiting for another one to arrive. I know there are others with PII. Where are the benches guys?

Phenom II 940 - Gigabyte MA790GP-DS4H

Got close to 5.2ghz tonight, didn't bother screening it since it's nowhere near where I wanted to be. Will try again very soon

Was that a LN run?

sno.lcn · Jan 15, 2009

Yep, but I have no idea how cold since my temp probe wasn't making good contact. Another reason I decided to take it down and try again after everything has a chance to dry out.

I think I'm going to put it under a single stage after class tomorrow and get a little more familiar with the setup.

they got 5ghz ish with a dual stage on XS

why did you get that mobo? :cry:

Castiel · Jan 15, 2009

Okay, im starting to OC my 940BE and I was wondering what is a safe voltage for around 3.6Ghz? And do you think I could get it to 4.0GHz without it crashing on air?

I'll look forward to the single stage numbers.
