Phenom 9950 overclocking

[3dsage]

Okay, nuff!! It was definitely a cherry CP!!





Yeah, that great cause was so I don't try pushing past 3.4Ghz!!

IMO 3.5GHZ and above on a Phenom I is a great feat, even worth roasting a cpu. Just to show that CPUZ screenie

i got my 9950 up to 3.4ghz temps were still great, but wasnt that stable, havent tried going up there since lol, bn busy working on my hd4870 lol, have it running at 840mhz core and 1125mhz memory on stock voltage, going higher tonight.

bt for my 9950 i had to use 1.48v to get to 3.4ghz. mine wasnt cherry picked lol

Yes indeed, damn low v's for 3.4ghz.
Nice OC on that 4870

Nice oc on that 9950 with that voltage.

The cherry we were talkin' bout was CP's 9850BE. he got it up to 3.6Ghz, lc'd mind you but still!

Welcome to TPU btw!!

thanks man, yea low volts for that 3.4ghz will try again soon tho. lol, i got my hd4870 up to 880mhz core my memory aint stable over 1120mhz, trying to get up to 900mhz core, (wont be b upgrading for now lol, want to see if i can give the 4890's a run for their clocks lol while on stock cooling) im using a soft volt mod to get those clocks tho.

yea i know that u guys were talking about the 9850.

haha maybe bro, but amd hooked it up then, I had no idea!

here it is one more time, I feel better now

Haha! Good to see again!

I'm thinking of dropping the divider on my memory back down to 1:2 from 3:8 and pushing my fsb up. I'm sure I can hit 3.3Mhz stable with my 9850. Not sure about 3.4 I'll surely have to pass 1.5vCore for that Just need to wait until the 955BE is on order then I'll start pushing!

bro, you have no idea man. It takes so much tweaking to get it right. the 9850 I had was an amazing CPU, it was not hard to overclock at all. At 3.55 GHz I had amazing stability for benchmarks. 3.4 GHz was rock solid stable at 1.392v. However my 9950 was a pain in the butt, but after months and months, I got the sweet spot of the CPU and got it stable at 3.3 GHz 1.525v. Benchmarked at 3.4 GHz 1.55v. But bro it takes tons and tons of tweaks and different settings. Trial and error is a must do, after all, it feels good when you do nail that overclock you were looking for

Yup. I'm still learning. I took a break from tweaking with a happy stable 3.0 and since I flashed the bios I got into again yesterday. I actually managed to get to 3.1 on 1.3v but then I pushed further with the multi and chip wouldn't let me do it again now it's got to be at 1.375 :shadedshu but at least it's stable. I'll have to see what I can do with the fsb.

Weren't you cooling with liquid on your 9850? Wasn't that the chip that also went down with your M3A79-T?

 

[crtecha]

good job crt its hard to get a 9950 higher than what you did. Note for 3.3 Ghz i needed 1.525v, but i was water cooled

Lol, yeah Tracers

@Crtecha Do you have ACC enabled? If not set it to +2 per core. Also what CP said is about right with that chip also it needs at least 1.525V to get over 3.3GHZ.

It has it in it, I used to bench at 3.4GHZ with it.

Morning guys.

I got my 4850's yesterday soo I did little overclocking. But I did try to get it up over 3.3. Not much luck but I also did put forth a lot of effort. I have it running at 3.0ghz right now and will continue my quest for 3.5.

3dsage I havent been able to find acc in my BIOS. I dont know if im just over looking it or what. Also I have the SB600 and I dont think that it supports ACC. The board is really funny though as it takes some clocks and has no issues then I'll reboot a few times and then I cant get in my BIOS or get it to boot for a few minutes.

The best thing is I was really worried about my temps sky rocketing running xfire but I had no gain in temps at all!!! Soo I going to begin pricing stuff to WC. I have to sit atleast 3.4ghz on air before I can justify the WC set up. Kinda want to prove myself

the 9850 was under water and so was my 9950. But the M3A79-T went down because I damaged the PCB putting a waterblock on. Wasnt due to stress or overclocking or anything like that.

Ahhh, okay.

I was retroreading today in the low voltage 9850 thread and came across the parts where you, full and kei were all on about lapping the cpu....I'm like hahaha...I was just thinking of buying a kicka$$ rig at that point!! Now that I got it I've been secretly thinking about lapping my cpu (and heatsink base) seeing as my load temps are 52-54C. I heard and 10 degree difference even on air....: Check my comments on the vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L1s1-nXj0o&feature=channel

Cheers CP (with Ketchup)

yeah bro, it was a few pages of peple just following kei and lapping. I didn't do a great job, first time ever. however I still saw like a 5ºc drop in temps .

 

[crtecha]

I got it to 3.4 last night through AOD ran PI up until the 17th loop then crashed. I'm getting 3.5 you just wait

 

[Assassin48]

I got it to 3.4 last night through AOD ran PI up until the 17th loop then crashed. I'm getting 3.5 you just wait

Are you using aod v3.0?

 

[crtecha]

No actually v2.1.6 I didnt know there was a newer one. I just pulled mine from AMD's site.

 

[Assassin48]

The ph ii 955 came out so the took out the newer version of it

Check the site again maybe its on there



I would check but I am on a itouch

 

[crtecha]

All I see listed on the site is the 2.1.6. I actually need to not use it. I never felt that my clocks were ever truely stable using OC apps. It sucks cause I was running at 16.5 multi right at 3.4 but I cant set that multi in my BIOS and boot to that. It will blue screen on the second loop of the vista progress bar like clock work. I actually found out too that I have two bad fan connections on my board which I dont know when or how that happened.

 

[Chicken Patty]

good job crt, you are almost there.

 

[fullinfusion]

Got your rad bro and thanks!!! I NOW HAVE SOMETHING TO DO tonight

 

[Chicken Patty]

thanks dude, let me know how the temps are, hopefully they are better bro. How ya like the fittings?

I know what you mean about OC apps, but AOD is a great app man. Just give it a shot, you'll see its really useful. Esp for pinpointing sweet spots for benching.

Also about ACC, SB600 doesnt support it. But hell you already hit 3.4GHZ so you need not worry

I saw about the same drop as you on both CPUs that i lapped. What grit did you use(end with) I started with 300 then 800 then 1000 then 1500 ended with 2000
