Its not fair you are having all the fun, I threw my 9950 (140 watt) into a Biostar 790 GX with a 3870 X2, Here it is stock.

Did I do the super Pi right? (first time using)

Why stock? Push her higher, feed some dope/crack.

Ok I went into the bios and clicked the V12 Auto OC button and here it is.

I took out my Geil Evo Ones and put in a pair of G Skill CL4 PI memory

Actually the mobo and G Skill mem is ResRants (my Dr.) I have a Asus Crosshair II for my SFF comp (should be a better OCr) But I had to test his mobo and 3870 X2 because we got them Open Box from Newegg. Since its running Im gonna have some fun with it.

Again thnks CP for this thread as OCing isant my strong suit (putting it mildly) and your posts will help me a lot to understand whats going on. :toast:

CP in your first post you posted the same pic for 3.15 and 3.4GHz

P.S. Can you measure power consumption in some way? I'm interested in power figures also...

hey Blueskyenis, sorry bro, I just remembered now, all I got is the sisoft sandra benchmark, says power consumption.

It said my processor power consumption is 280.35W

Hey guys. I'm running my 9850 on a Biostar TA770 right now and it's working well but I want to push my CPU to the limit and with that I would imagine I would need a SB750 board. With that being said, I've been looking into boards and it seems that the ASUS M3A79-T Deluxe is quite good and packed with features. I've also been looking at the DFI LP DK 790FXB-M2RSH as well. Personally I'm more geared towards the ASUS board because of the layout and everything.

Do any of you guys have any problems with your M3A79-T? I read about some issues with PWMs whining a bit...anyone experiencing that? My current board has a major problem with squealing under load and it gets annoying so I'd like to avoid it if I could. I'd appreciate hearing any issues that you may have encountered that are worth mentioning.

Anyway, I guess this is kind of off-topic from the actual thread but I figure a few of you here have the ASUS board already and can give me some insight on this. Thanks a lot guys.

I just got Asus board 2 weeks ago and love it. AMD OCing is new to me, but this board is sweet. Got the 9950 BE (125W) chip to 3.225 easier and I am sure I can go higher.

My two cents.

Welcome aboard the thread, I personally recommend the ASUS M3A79-T because I have it and I know its awesome. But you cannot go wrong with the DFI 790FX SB750 board. Those boards are just badass and they are great o/c'ers.

In this thread a few are running the DFI board

However I dont have any issues at all with my board and I could not be happier.

I just got my 9950 a week ago and does it love voltage, right now im at 3.4 GHz at 1.520v, my 9850 did 3.55Ghz @ 1.456v. So in other words 125w CPU's are the way to go :toast:

Hey, I'm loving this thread (actually got me to register

).

I love those scores.

I was just wondering what you guys think I could get for a stable yet high OC on my new setup. Specs are below my avatar but I'll repost if need be.

Thanks in advance!

Welcome aboard Letifer, you'll love your stay here

I can go up to 3.3 Ghz stable at around 1.392v. Anything higher takes me a hard time and about 1.52v. I dont have a great chip though.

Do you know what your stepping is by the way?
