The AMD Phenom II OC'ers Club

What's your refersh set to? I knocked a full ns off my L3 latency going from 110 to 90.

Are you getting errors in memtest or are you just failing tests to be able to go further? If memtest what tests (3 and 4)?
 
Well i have a X3 720 overclocked on air and with no volt changes up to 3.2ghz i know it doesn't seems much but im really happy with my CPU and i like to share and spread the joy of good technology :)

The way I test for stability is via OCCT. On my board if i get past 2mins of Small fft, I can run it for hours. So I limited myself up to 15 minutes, then I run 2 passes of LinX max ram to test ram/cpu nb.
 
Nice clock Ken :toast:, you just need to get the CH4 to really get some nice bios options to clock that baby higher ;)

Thanks but I think what I have now is what I'm gonna have for awhile. My fiancee and I just bought I house so now she has taken over my paychecks.
 
Holy crap. I didn't even see that ken. Good job! That's on your CH3 ?!? Doubt a CH4 would help much. :D

That is the Crosshair III buddy. I really think once Asus releases a bios that straightens out the Turbo multi off issue(if off the CPU ratio multi is stuck @ x4) that may help me OC more.
 
hm, what about this and aircooling?:D

kenkickr: think, it one C III bios is mode for disabling BIOS, later il try found, now i have runing :)
 
nice Brandon, but thats an old Athlon X2! :p
a Brisbane G2!
 
Hello, all! All of my PC build have been Intel based but I'm now seriously considering going with AMD, especially with their AM3 socket. I can't afford to buy new and I was wondering if this board GA-MA770T-UD3P--currently available in my local used market--is good enough for Athlon II/Phenom II procs? I plan to use this for 1-2 years at least and I OC a lot. Thoughts?
 
well velvet i just want to be in the club :( i feel like a fat kid who likes starcraft at a high school football party :(

the fat kid who likes starcraft, but has the richest parents!:laugh: an i7 is nothing you should argue about! :p a phenom is well in reach, monetary wise, then... you could just buy a regor, these things are allowed! :D

Well soon i will be in search for a phenom II CPU. was thinking about a 720BE x3, X2 550BE, X4 940BE or hell i might just go all out and get a 6 core but this is my HTPC that is AMD

I have a 550BE I'd be willing to sell you. I dont have a board to unlock the 2 disabled cores on it. Hell, I'd sell it as a combo deal: 550BE and XFX 4850 1Gb

Interested in a trade for the CPU? i have a HIS 3870 comming for video so im set there.

Well, I will have to tell you tomorrow. My new CPU cooler is coming in and TheLaughingMan is going to put my CPU in his second PC with ACC to see if it can indeed unlock to a quad-core.

If so, I will have to make the decision whether to get a new mobo or to get a new cpu.

make sure you test it for stability and not just OC, many chips that unlock cant do it stable.

sure thing!! Thanks for the tip. What is the max stable Overclocking clock ratio for the 550BE? I havent been able to find it.

That's tough question to answer, every chip is different. For example my own 720BE needs 1.4v for 3.5Ghz whereas Fritoking's does 3.7Ghz on stock(1.32v).

Also, just reverted back to my old 24.7 overclock. Seems like this is the max I can get:

Have tried it without CnQ enabled it doesn't make a difference. Went from keeping the multi low and clocking fsb/raising just multi nothing seems to give. Still open to suggestions.

LaughingMan said suck a fat one. We got it to unlock to quad but we are working getting it to boot to windows. He says if he is broke, you can have it. His current CPU he want to replace it with is a AMD 64 5000+
 
LOL tell laughing man i said whats up! i havnt got to talk to him in a long time.

Im glad you got it to unlock! now you need a board in your rig! yea im just looking for a phenom II to replace my x2 5600+ but im in no hurry. one will come along one day!
 
phenom 920 with one core shut off
