So I was having issues with my GD-70 NB clocks. I finally managed to find stability with it at 2500mhz. I left it at 2500 for over a week just because it was really pissing me off before. Today I finally decided it was good and decided to up the CPU and RAM clocks. I was running 3.9ghz 24/7 on my DFI LP DK M2RSH. So I bumped it up to 3.9ghz and it wouldn't even boot. Neither would 3.8, 3.75 failed on desktop, so did 3.5ghz (whcih I had been running with my 2500mhz NB for the week), failed on 3.350, now running 3.0 stable. Beyond aggrivating.

do you left the rig shut down for a while + lowered NB VID?
i believe too high NB vid bugged me totally,2 days ago:eek:

Great OC score WarEagle... but I would rather go with 1333MHz or so and lower latency with 1T timing. Something like 6-6-6-14.. I think you would have better real life performance

Yes, and give that North Bridge some love too! That'll give your RAM more performance as well. :toast:

Theres like 3 different NB voltages on this board, and 2 of them as far as I can tell are the samething. I left the NB alone when I OC'd the CPU, had same voltage as what it had been in for the whole week.

if you dont have messed with the volts, do so. NB VID should be between 1.2-1.4, tho i suggest 1.2-1.3. i lack this option in my bios, so i can only clock up from 2350 in windows,with k10stat and FoxOne:eek: with more NB without extra Volts, it simply craps out after a while, doing shitty things :p

Thanks Omega, I may try that, or I may try to OC with the HT and lower the timings and still hit 1600. I havent done any benches since OCing it this high. I may try it and see what the difference may be. I can tell this is a huge speed increase from my X2 Kuma 7750 at 3.5 or whatever I had it as. I am amazed at how fast unraring stuff is and all that. LOVE IT!

@Kurgan - did you try bumping up your voltages not just on the CPU, but the NB, SB, etc? That may help you.

Oh yeah I have messed with all the voltages, I was running NB at 1.3v, but there is 2 more NB-CPU voltages, and changing one effects the other, they seem to do the samething. Either way even with NB clocked down the CPU isnt being stable.

Here is my stable clocks for my new PII 805 @ 3.33 Ghz with Asus M4A78 Pro.

http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=810207



Max OC 50-50 stable. @ 3.4 Ghz.

http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=810207



Just stable enough to post CPUZ validation and screen shot :laugh:

CPUZ voltage readings are wrong.



And for 272 HTT I have to push the CPU voltage 1.47.

What is the safe voltage on the CPU/NB Voltage? Only if I up this the system is stable. I can lower the CPU volts a bit less to 1.41 and still keep it stable. So kind of confusing which voltage to use.

Asus's TurboV and AISuite is awesome. I boot into Windows with less aggressive OC, then with the created profiles and the AISuite running in the background I just press the power button, voila I bump to the max stable OC in half a second. I can be in a game or do what ever I want still the OC works, Cool :rockout:

I can do the same OC thru bios too and achieve the same stability. This board for some reason needs a tad bit higher voltage compared to my Biostar TF8200.

Good OC?

Waiting for the 955 C3 :rockout:

in my experience the nb volts are safe up to 1.3- 1.4 for my chip, not sure about the newer phenom though.

NB @ 2970 boot up, higher than that then windows won't load

there are 2 NB volts.... CPU-NBvid and NB-SB voltage... how much of the second? :)

be careful with NB clocking.... i killed 2 windows in 2 days 2 weeks ago,during clocking with too low voltage, and normal apps opened parallel to the stability tests;) Crash, Windows needs to be repaired.

Are you sure you need that many volts on the NB? I would go for 1.3v same settings on the rest.

I run my 955 at 3.8ghz 1.45v / 1.3v cpu/nb / 1.24v nb @ 2600mhz

im running 5850 crossfire and a 9800gt for physx - windows 7 allows this - however u need to use a physx hack to make it work :) hence the nice cpu score in vantage with my phenom II 940.
That's cool :toast:
but b4 I call b/s on the cpu scoring, doesn't cpu test #1 and cpu test #2 just test the cpu?
why im asking is im running my 940 @ higher clocks than you and the cpu test 1 on my system is 1666.86 where test #2 is really low @ 20.13 :wtf:
Is cpu test #2 using the gpu along side the cpu for the test?
Im going to run Vantage at 3.8ghz and show whats going on
