bro back then the latest BIOS was 0603 :laugh: im sure the new BIOSES are much better. Try it out and let me know.



why dont you try to use the multi to overclock and see if you can go over 3.25ghz like that.

However for 3.3 GHz i needed 1.5v on the core, and about 1.45v for 3.25ghz. So adding voltage might fix your issue. try it out and let us know, watch your temps.



The first thing I did when I got my phenom was hop the multi to 16.
I never did find out what my highest fsb was..... Soo ill do that tonight.


BOSS!!!!!!!! I got it to 3.3ghz last night I was 16x207 volts @ 1.4
I ran 1m of pi in 24sec's. I forgot my flash drive soo I'll update with some screen shots on Monday. The thing is though after I restarted it would blue screen. My temps only got to 55c on load :). I think that its either the fact I'm new to OC'n quads or my board is limiting me. Damn gigabytes are strange though I have to take it to dinner and a movie just to get it to post :)

Okay...lol. Thanks bro. I guess I've been too taken by the beauty of Crysis and Crysis Warhead to noticew there were new BIOS updates :eek:. I'll take a break from that after Saturday. Today's my birthday and I plan on being mildly inebriated for 24 hours straight and I've learned the hard way not to play with computer bioses or hardware in that state!! :laugh: :toast:

Congrats crtecha. I was never brave enough to go past 1.45v vCore on my chip so I never broke 3.2Ghz with my 9850 but CP is right, if you BSOD the up the vCore one notch at a time and it should stop. And keep a good eye on the temps.

I'll post any new results over in the 9850 thread as soon as I flash my bios. I'm getting braver cuz I'm all caught up on bills now so if I blow my 9850 I'll just go and get the PII 955!!! :rockout:

Told you bro, voltage stabilizes things, but as everything in this world, too much is bad!
