Ah man you can't catch a break can you:laugh:

Hehe i know rigth :P

Is there a good fan control software out there ?

The fans are running on 2500rpm constant, kinda noisy :S
 
The motherboard itselft should have a pwm mod. If that doesn't work check out speedfan

Any other than speedfan ?
that's easyer to operate.
 
The program that comes with your board. Msi cell or whatever it's called. SpeedFan is not that complicate, just read the description and you should be good to go

I find speedfan really complicated. to tech for me. i need a software where a can roll a wheel or something like that to change the rpm. :p

Msi command center you mean ? It wont let me configure the 2 additional fans i added, for some reason
 
Are those Fans pwm (4 pin)? And is the socket where they are plugged in 4 or 3 pin. If it's 3 pin you may be out of luck. Otherwise speedfan may be your only option

It's 4 pins on the motherboard

and the fans are 3 pins =p the 4th pin is for controlling the fan isnt it ? ^^,

deleted speed fan, cause it would not work, i think i did all rigth to thou.
 
If it's 4 pin on the motherboard it should work with speedfan. That's what I am doing on my pc

Okey.
i guess i have to try over :P
 
Do or do not. There is no try

Hehe :p

do then i guess.

but now i have entred speed fan, and a set all pwm1-2-3 to 0% but nothing happens.
 
Look into the settings if there are more. My motherboard had 6 but only 2 where actually working
 
Should i unlock core? I have reached +1.1v now (1.456v) instant blue screen, could it be caused by my dram? Should oi try tweak my memory? @krusha03 @xvi. @Schmuckley

I wouldn't trust more than 1.4v on any MSI board..
Expect 4.2 Ghz..
Get the CPU/NB from 2600/3200
maybe around 2400 max on HT link..
Keep the temps down.
6-core Thubans do not unlock.
Ask me how I know you didn't read El Gappo's guide :rolleyes:.

You know..I wrote a guide like this and published it the day after he made that..then someone pointed me to his guide..so I read it..
and realized..He has a much better way with words :oops:.
Deleted thread.
The order is important. Do everything in the order specified.
I've already said this twice,no?
A) Do RAMs
B) Do CPU/NB
C) Do HT link
D) Do Multiplier

Also,try raising NB voltage to 1.26v and CPU/NB voltage to 1.34-7v

You can unlock the core. What ram did you get? 1.45V is fine but dont go more than that. Why arent u using XMP? What are your temps
 
I'd just try to tighten up the timings @ 1600-ish.
You can't really juice RAM hard with AMD..
I would say stay less than 1.73v to be safe.
How to lower ram timings: Lower the 4 settings cL,trcd,trp,tras) 1 setting at a time.one notch at a time .lower it..reboot..see if post..lower 1 more..reboot..etc..until you don't POST;then go back to the last one that worked..this will put you in the ballpark
with AMD,TRAS should be sum of 1st 3 primary timings.
Pretty sure TRFC can be TRAS + highest of the 3 primary timings.
i.e: 7-7-7-21-28
or..
6-8-6-20-28
The TRAS thing is not a hard rule,just a general guideline ;)

Memory:Crucial DDR3 BallistiX Sport 1600MHz 16GB (4GB4),

I was wondering about xmp, i could enable that.

In bios the temp says 43.
Hwmonitor says 28
OCCT says 32
EDIT: msi command center says 28 aswell.
thats wierd rigth ?

Wont try nothing, before i can find the rigth temp.

I have been in google for about 3hours now, reading about thuban. but i'm actualy gonna listen to you this time, and read the guide :p

http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php/596023-Dolk-s-Guide-to-the-Phenom-II
have been reading this one, seems like a nice guide


EDIT: I got fan for the vrm heatsink.
Started over, 20xmultiplier,4ghz, +0,7v = 1.424 and enabled xmp. At +0.6 it would not boot.

Now i think something its wrong with hw monitor, RPM of fan's says 3000rpm, and the are not speeding at all.

Now i cant get post screen, omg fml dont say i just broke something..... I was loading defaults and then raised just the multiplier to20x 4ghz, then saved and quited,for so go to setup and raise voltage, but itj wouldnt post. Gonna try clear cmos and restart bios. Worked to clear cmos i think, i,m actually gonna stop ocing, and start reading alot more, maybee just buy a new cpu.

just clear the cmos and you will be fine. ;)

I did that, and it worked.

Can i get 4ghz, without toucing httlink cpu-nb?

I tried

20x multip = 4ghz, 1.426 voltage.

also enabled XMP and it adjusted it self to 9-9-9-24 1.5 something voltage.
i booted and were in window for like 5-10 minutes before it shuted down.
So what's the next move from there.
