The AMD Phenom II OC'ers Club

Guys, i'm looking at going X6 soon. Whats your views on the 1050 vs 1090?
I know the multi is locked on the 1050. Would u recommend it?

Thanx
mRY
 
you can still get a high overclock on the 1055T, like 3.6-3.8ghz with a good aircooler

Thanx for the reply. I won't be happy with anything less than 3.8ghz.
Seeing that my X4 955 can do 3.8ghz easily.
 
IMO, if you already have a kickass board that can do 270+ htt speeds no reason to get the black edition part, unless you are serious about benchmarking or you are a reviewer.

I cut it out with a drimmel to see if my Evercool Transformer 4 would fit but it was hitting the PSU :( Also CnQ is not enabled. i turned all power saving options off. The Vcore is set at 1.375V and its rock stable as these settings. i have noticed tho for 3.4ghz or more it needs over 1.4V to become stable so since its in a small case and its on a stock cooler then this is all the OC it will get :)

That particular cpu is quite temp-sensitive. 1.425 should be good for 3.4 if you can keep it cool enough...
 
3.2ghz quad is pretty good for a 2.8ghz tri-core on a stock cooler. Mind you, that cooler is an "upgrade" from the included one...

yea it runs great as a x4! got 12.2sec 32m Wprime score with it!
 
I'm glad that you are happy with it....very glad! ;) We need to exchange heat when this is all said and done!

Also! let me know once your card and fan arrive. it took like 12+ days for Acid888 to get his XSPC res/pump and hes in canada. i hate USPS sometimes!
 
I'm in no rush, don't worry about it!

I'm eager to get crosshair 4 Extreme up and running...I just might sell off my current rig and go back to Intel for a few months until it comes out...hopefulyl before my birthday at the end of July...I refuse to toss this x6 into anything else! :laugh:
 
i might try and lap my 965 C3 tomorrow, its a little off? well its not 100% straight? some one give me the right word
 
haha thats prob. the right word:p

but yeah, and then i wanna try it on a amd :D
 
I haven't lapped an AMD chip in ages..used to be all the rage to pop off teh IHS, before they started soldering them...

Both my 955 and 965 are quite bowed in in the middle of the IHS, so you almost end up with a "puddle" of thermal goop in the middle. I'm tempted to lap as well...but then I might forget which chip is what...:laugh:
 
LOL :laugh:

but yes mine has a small dent in the middle and a corner

but i wont do a shiny lap, just to level it:)

why are you using the 955 instead of the 965?
 
I dunno, to be honest. I've got a 1090T sitting here too.

See, I like to think that the best clocking cpus are always in the very first batches, so I got my C3 965BE in the first batch the local retailer got, and same with the 1090T, and the 720BE that Brandon has now came from the first batches as well.

I might not ever use the chip, really...but I feel confident in pushing the 955 knowing I have the 965 for back-up...

I guess it's just old habits from when I took benching seriously. I typically do the same thing with motherboards...buy two the same, and keep the "best" one...
 
1090T up and running :D

I should note that atm, my AMD system is stock CPU with ram at 1066Mhz 7-7-7-21 - SPD timings since i dont have time to tighten them before work.


superpi:

Intel: 11.468
AMD: 19.757

58% of the speed of the intel at this test. This test DOES favour intel and my ram timings are shite, so this is expected.

Wprime:

32M:
Intel: 22.2
AMD: 8.55

259% the speed. considering i have 300% more cores, the ram timings could boost this to a perfect speed 300% (making me think that at stock, my new CPU is as fast as the old one OC'd)

128M:
Intel: 712.2
AMD: 266.5

267% faster - longer test is more reliable, backs up what i said above.

How do my timings look? 5-5-5-12 @800 MHz? I am really lost with these things.

to be true, thats a worse than stock setting with ddr2!;) (like mussels said, JEDEC timings... they are slower than stock timings of your ram in 90% of the cases.
if you would like to change that, i can recommend you 800mhz 4-4-4-12 or 1066 mhz 5-5-5-15. voltages shouldnt be above 2.4 for 24/7 abd even that only with good cooling.
Most modules should be able to hit the 1066, even if they are not specced for that;)
 
i disagree with velvet.

Not many chips run 800Mhz CL4, and few run 1066 at anything less than 5-5-5-15.

Dont run above 2.0v without airflow over the ram, especially with 4 sticks... they will slowly heat up and cause you to BSOD after several hours (but will pass every stress test you throw at it, since the heat dissipates when you leave it off for a while between tests)


that said, you *have* patriot 1066Mhz ram... so you should be able to up to 1066Mhz (likely at 2.1v, and you may need to bump NB volts like i have to)
