how much voltage was that again cdawall, I dont remember!

maybe 1.45v i honestly done remember either but the chip didn't like volts so it wasn't much

14.45v is pretty good for 3.5 GHz bro :toast:

Treid it with +150, which shows as 1.5 v on the bos and it booted into windows ran for a bit and then bsod. I will put up pics of my bios soon.

dammit.

post the pics, lets see what we can do.

got mine running stable @ 3.2ghz with 1.35v , runs unstable @ 3.3ghz with 1.35v . not going to try for anymore as i am getting a Phenom II 940 next month

Woot! Back in the overclocking scene :toast:

I tried 3.6ghz but it bsods at boot at 1.4v-1.57v

pepsi71ocean · Mar 8, 2009

what kind of motherboard do you suggest one should get for a Kuma CPU?

ShadowFold · Mar 8, 2009

My MSI 790GX is doing great with it. I LOVE the bios, it shows what the memory and CPU will run at with the settings you have set.

Also it wasn't 100% stable with 1.475 at 3.4 so I bumped it up to 1.52v, is that safe for 24/7 f@h/gaming?

looks like you have the the better mobo than i have , the one i got the local store to give as a freebee cause the repeated probs with my old ma-770-ds3 is just the basic msi ka790gx

3.4, not bad, how does it compare to the 6400 at 3.4?

ShadowFold · Mar 8, 2009

It has L3 cache so I'd imagine it does better than the 6400+.
3.4ghz is running great fuh sho. EverQuest2 runs a lot better 3.4 vs 3.0 and everything just "feels" faster. Can't believe I didn't do this earlier

Kinda making me not want a Phenom II anymore!

did you use the onboard switches for the overclocking ?

ShadowFold · Mar 8, 2009

Nope. Good ol' fashion(well not really) multiplier adjusting. God dammit I love black editions

BTW I have cdawall's chip, I bought mine off of him

L3 is there to compensate for the Latency of DDR2/DDR3.

Hey guys just got the 7750BE about a week ago and can't seem to bump it more than 3 ghz.
I've tried 1.5v and 15.5x and still couldn't get it stable. Is my motherboard hopeless for this or am I doing something wrong. Sorry that i haven't read all the pages in this thread if it has been already talked about. I also tried upping the FSB to 205 but that didn't work either.

chaotic_uk · Mar 9, 2009

i had the same issue with my old gigabyte mobo (ma-770-ds3) , it would work all day at 3.0ghz but raise it to 3.1 or 3.2 and it became unstable . it must be the 770 chipset thats is holding this cpu back ?

z1tu · Mar 9, 2009

aw man that would be sad :cry:

yea, the chipset could be a contributing factor but in think the main reasons are the lack of cooling on both the CPU and the board and possibly poor case airflow as well as an untweaked BIOS settings. Its unlikely that you would break any overclocking records with the stock cooling and even though your Gigabyte board is from the Ultra Durable 3 series which is somewhat better than what chaotic had it still lacks in the cooling department. Looking at the picture i see no MOSFET cooling on this board as well which is common for 770 chipsets mobos. If you go back several pages you'll see that it was talked about and how to fix that. Also, monitor your NB temps and if they are high you may want to reaseat the NB sink and reapply TIM and/or mount a fan on it. I think that chances are that you'll get a better overclock if you do all this stuff as well as tweak your BIOS settings and wont have to apply brute force (i.e. more voltage) to get there. I'm sure someone here can help you with the BIOS settings part, i dont own a Kuma or an AMD board so i cant speak about that.

chaotic_uk · Mar 22, 2009

i have just upgraded from my old gigabyte ma-770-ds3 to the msi ka790gx , now i would have thought i would at least get the same performance @3ghz . this is not the case as i get nearly 300 cpu points lower in vantage and games seem to stuter more , what would cause this ?

ShadowFold · Mar 22, 2009

That means it's unstable

LifeOnMars · Mar 22, 2009

That and possibly different options in your new bios that you may have missed changing.

chaotic_uk · Mar 22, 2009

any way to fix this ? , what should i set the cpu voltage to ?

ShadowFold · Mar 22, 2009

Man I don't know. These chips vary. Mine can do 3.1ghz prim95 24 hour stable but I need 1.5v for 3.4ghz.. Very tricky chips.

chaotic_uk · Mar 22, 2009

tried it @ 1.4v and it ran slower in vantage , very odd if you ask me . i might just change to the phenom II cpu on the 8th and then try again at overclocking

Cant figure it out...is my 7750 only running 1 core?
