1.5 has alot of features
give that a go

Make sure to disable cool n quiet

Cool and quiet are not welcome in my house.

I'm gonna try 1.3

now we play the waiting game


as a side note
I might be selling my 940 not so sure yet

brb going to install my other 4gb of corasir 1066

What clocks you getting again?
How much?

If the price is right I might shoot at an AM2+ with that open box board from the egg

well right now i am sitting on 3.63 @ 1.48 but i am just trying some higher bus
220x16.5 = 3.63
i can go higher
i was hitting 3.79 @ 1.5 with just a cpu multi
just got this ram so i am redoing my clocks see how high i can get it to
i still dont know how much i will sell it for yet
--------------------------------------------
Right now i am at 3.3 @ 1.36 with 8gb @ 1066 running prime95

quick question i bought 2 different kits of dominator ram on kit says v 1.1 the other is 2.1 will these work with each other or should i call up corsair?

Messing around tonight and trying to get the most out of my memory and NB. Pushing 1.472v through the proc right now. Might push it some more tomorrow once my 2x 133cfm scythes show up and I toss them on my rad. Anyways here's the results!

Nice
what kind of temps are you hitting?

 

[1Kurgan1]

The temps I was getting were, "close my eyes and act like everything is normal"

It was a bit unstable at 3,808. I had it stable at 3,794, but I'm going to bed so I backed it down to 3,780mhz just for the night. Which allowed me to drop it back to 1.456v, I only got 2 week fans pushing on my rad right now, like I said 2x 133cfm Scythes show up tomorrow. Then we'll see where I can really get this.

Cant wait sounds good
-----------------------------
i am at
3.4 @ 1.36
8gb @ 800mhz 5-5-5-15-23-2t
i will oc the memory once i am stable at 4.5mhz

lol 3.8

 

[ShadowFold]

I can't get 3.8ghz to work at all. I did however get 3.6ghz working at 1.35v

Gonna go even lower now!!!

 

[1Kurgan1]

Nice 3.6 at that low of voltage is very nice. Anyways time for sleep, must rest my brain, 4ghz when my new fans show up or bust!

i will be waiting!

@shadow
thats pretty nice oc on that voltage
how much voltage did ou go up to?

 

[ShadowFold]

tried 214x18 1.45 and 1.55v with nothing. Keeps freezing while loading windows.

hmm sounds weird
you up the nb volts right?

 

[ShadowFold]

No, I don't know what stock is Where can I find that?

i found this website when they oc a 720
http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=3512&p=11

No surprises here based on our results above. Our maximum overclock for both CPU speed ended up at a 19x200HTT setting. This resulted in a 3.813GHz processor clock speed with Northbridge speed at 2809MHz. We set our Core VID to 1.55V, VDimm to 1.66V, CPU/NB Voltage to 1.4375V, and HT to 1.38V. on stock VCore with the X3 720 BE resulted in a 3.36GHz clock speed at a respectable 240HTT clock and Northbridge speed at 2400MHz. Memory speed is set to DDR3-1600 at 7-8-7-18 1T. We also tried the 19.5x200HTT setting for 3.90GHz, but could not hold stability in the applications mentioned above. The system would post at 20x200 easily, but Vista 64 SP1 would always BSOD once entering the OS. It appears from all indications that the AM3 processors have the same 4GHz limitation in Vista 64 with normal cooling methods. We increased VCore to 1.60V and could POST at 4.2GHz but could never enter the OS regardless of other NB speed, HT speed, or voltage settings.

Dont lose hope

Damn nice clocks and voltage Shadow!

I'm really considering RMAing my 720, takes to much voltage to oc it and temp sensors are F'd up.

 

[1Kurgan1]

I'm not sure what your stock is going to be, but it is probably around 1.2. I have mine running at 1.370v right now, with an 80mm fan blowing on my NB. I couldnt go up from there (next step was 1.420v).

Set it somewhere around 1.3v, then go from there.

(I cant sleep had Intel regrets and just canceled my order for the E5200 and Asus P5Q SE Plus)

Wow anyone around 3.8ghz is over 1.5v except one person, I'm liking my results so far.

would you say cpu conditioning helps?
or is it too soon to tell

i dont think voltage needs to go high if you have the cpu cool

 

[ShadowFold]

Conditioning helped flyordie. I haven't and probably wont just because I'm lazy and I don't really care for super high clocks. I just need something fast and cool for my gaming!

 

[1Kurgan1]

I conditioned mine for about 3 days, then I couldnt take it anymore, lol. So I'm not really sure. It just doesn't seem like it to me.

And good news my cancel order went through, 7750 Kuma and Biostar 790GX (open box for $64 ) are heading my way. I might have to test the biostar in my comp see if it unlocks 4th core, if it does I'm going to cry.

 

[ShadowFold]

That's the board that started the madness. The biostar 790GX and Asrock are 100% unlockable.

 

[1Kurgan1]

Yep, only $64.99 right now, if it works I am putting it in my comp. I canceled plans to sell my DFI. But if that board works it will be back up for sale and I will order her a diff mobo (790GX if still open box).

You got a 7750 Shadow, it doesnt state if it comes with a fan, I'm assuming it isnt like the old 5000+ Be and that it does.

Did a bit of surfing, found out the Retail version comes with a HS+fan, so should be all good.

Conditioning helped flyordie.

Theres no way to really tell if it helped him though. I know he was only able to run his volts so low, then later after he "conditioned" it, it was able to go one notch lower. But whos to say running it at lower volts caused this. It could have easily been that the proc just naturally broke in from being run.

 

[ShadowFold]

My 7750 was OEM bro. The only BE's that didn't come with sinks were the 5000+ and I think the 6400+. The Phenom BE's come with heatsinks.

Now that I think of it, I haven't bought a single retail AMD chip lol They are just so easy to find OEM or used.

I work for a Computer Repair/ IT Support company, we use 3dmark to compare differneces durring upgrades, here is a before picture for a design pc running autocad

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=10582564

and after the upgrades:
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=10583824

Specs were:
Pentium 4 HT 3.4ghz
Intel Chipset board
2 GB DDR2 533
old Nvidia Quadro Graphics
XP Pro

then we added:
Pentium Dual Core E5200
NVidia NForce 630 board
GeForce 9400 GT Graphics

 

[Flyordie]

PII is capable of some low ass voltages... 3,103Mhz @ 1.02V
This is on my backup board... GA-690G-S3H.
You may see this soon, but the C3 Silicon is already being tested... idk what has been improved yet, but the new revision will be seen in the FX lineup I guess. This for me is considered slightly "unreliable" due to the inclusion of the following words "The C3 revision in lab tests have been able to reach into the 7Ghz territory."

Take whats bolded with a grain of salt, but if it comes to be true, my source has proven himself again....
