and with CNQ/turbo core doesnt the voltage adjust on the fly?

de.das.dude · Jan 18, 2012

its best to disable CnQ with overclocks.

I kind of figured as much as it would affect the overclocks.

Chicken Patty · Jan 18, 2012

I always disable it for overclocking.

its odd i think i left it on for my bros unlocked BE 555 ("Triple 5") to B57/BE 955 (Stock Clock of 3.2GHz)

Chicken Patty · Jan 18, 2012

It could work, actually I'm pretty sure you can overclock with it on. I just rather have full control over clocks/voltages when overclocking just in case CnQ acts stupid. :laugh:

I can get to 4.3 with mine. I think its in my CPU-Z link.

Edit: CPU-Z validation is at 4.25.

I've got 4.4 Ghz with my Ancient Gigabyte 790x-ud4 board.

Only Cpu-z Validation Without any Stability at all.

I am notwilling to go past 1.475 Cpu VCore.

I disable all the power control stuff, from what i gather CPB changes voltages just like CnQ which could lead to problems.
For good measure i disable C states as well, then renable after i know its stable.

His machine is not overclocked as it dont need to be, n runs the stock cooler. That CPU i got as a gamble and i won that bet with it being a Flawless CPU as a full Quad (Everything unlocked properly and runs at the right voltage/clock speed)

For it being a middle ground i am impressed with how snappy it is. It makes me wonder if its even worth going for a 990X/FX Motherboard...

Chicken Patty · Jan 18, 2012

Of its running fine for your needs then don't upgrade for now man.

My 555 was on stock volts w/CnQ on as well- unlocked to X4 and bumped it to 3.4.... <1.1 volts @ idle on an Gigabyte 890xa-ud3 board :rockout:

960T definitely has a more impressive feel compared to an unlocked 555... not sure how FX will feel like but I can't complain about either of these running nearly stock

I got the Triple 5 due to FX launch being so close, Now i know of its performance numbers not beating expectations of even the 1055 per se, I will upgrade it when the last AM3+ CPU comes into play that is supported by that motherboard. I will load it up with 32GB of ram and the fastest Radeon/ Radeons that board will support aswell in time.

Im sure it will do 200-500Mhz boosted just fine, as it seems a pal of ours that does many reviews had to drop his core 2 cpu from 4+ GHz to factory due to instability after several years of stress.

Chicken Patty · Jan 18, 2012

Yeah, I was a bit let down by BD. really don't see a point in upgrading anymore. Rather wait for pile driver or something.

eidairaman1 · Jan 18, 2012

AM3+ has atleast 2 more CPU series before being Decomissioned...

Iv ran into a problem that makes me rage/jumper my mobo. Every time I try to move my ram voltage at all or even to set it stock my system wont post. I have a 990 fx ud3 mobo with 16gb 1600 ram rated 1.65v I think. God I miss having a clear bios button. will upload pics of bios after school.

why do your system specs state different, and you read the motherboard manual for notes/warnings?

catnipkiller · Jan 18, 2012

forgot to update^^ that is my old rig witch is now my moms rig^^ im now on a GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 making me mad even on 2 sticks i can get my nb stable past 2.7ghz where my other ddr2 mobo was holding 2.9ghz NB solid.

This Silverstone Clear CMOS switch works with most boards ($5.99 free shipping)

I have one in my case- works great :cool:

have they revised that motherboard and what about bios updates?

catnipkiller · Jan 18, 2012

have not looked into that but it was kinda weird that stock volts even under volting wont post.

Only thing I can really say is take the machine apart, clean it and reseat all devices, taking ESD precaution. You may want to run Memtest too. Also research to see if there are any limitations...

Sir B. Fannybottom · Jan 19, 2012

So, I just got my PII 955B and I can't seem to get over 3.8ghz without a ton of voltage and me idling at 40C. I'm running it at 3.2ghz and im idling at 35C. Could this just be because I'm using junk HP thermal paste? I have some IC diamond 7 in teh mail

Apply the IC Diamond and go from there. What voltage are you using for 3.8 GHz?

It says it's gunna need another week to get here

For me to reach 3.8ghz and to be intelburn test stable I needed close to 1.5V and I full load at 70C

Hmmm, seems a bit much but possible. Definitely that's too hot though, gotta keep it under 60ºc. What's the max stable clock you can get with reasonable temps?
