i wonder how far a Phenom II x6 1035T will clock 2.6ghz base clock ..... if the 1055T is $199 id expect the 1035T to hit about $169

Water or air cooled?

Water. EK Supreme HF is doing it's job nicely.

Must be nice being able to raise the cpu multi

Paulie you D/L the newest AOD yet as well as cpu-z?

turn turbo mode off in AOD and see how it runs.... Im so fukin pissed (sry) at Asus atm...I see yet another bios update for the CH4..... What about us using the CH3? we dont matter any more?

But any way I found I can raise the bus speed up to clock the cpu and HT + NB freq....

Man talk about immature for bioses for both boards hey... I have my local guy looking into what price he can get me a CH4.... I guess it's time for yet another upgrade

Does any body know how to delete the overclocking profiles in the bios that I have created over the time I've had the 955-965 proc? I removed the battery and jumped the RTC and it's still there...

Shit and nice Paul, real nice

I have the newest AOD. I can seem to find where you turn off turbo mode...I know you can turn off turbo mode in the bios, which I did, but it doesn't seem to stop the downclocking at idle.

These amd motherboard makers dropped the ball on these bios.

Damn. This 890fx chipset seems to handle memory tons better than 790FX, at least from what I recall. It looks like I'm going to pass a LinX 20 cycle run at 1920 8-8-8-20.

see the yellow circle? Well click on it and the window that opens up..... uncheck the Enable Turbo core box, click OK than Apply

Also just try going into the bios and raising the cpu volts up by +1 and see if it stops the down clock mode....

I found by manually setting some of my volts the BS down clock is halted.

Also try bumping up the nb by +1

It's a shot in the dark my friend :pimp:

I suspect 890FX to be the last Ph II Chipset before Bulldozer appears

Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition Overclocked

http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1167745

These things OC much much nicer than the X4s.

200 x 20 = 4000 @ 1.45 Vcore

And my temps are still below 100^ F

my X4 would heat up my radiators pretty quickly!

This X6 seems to be cooler and faster, or maybe just my X6

eidairaman1 · May 5, 2010

I think AMD decided to take their time on the X6 CPUs, lets see if they do the same with the 8 Core unit.

I found that I can pass LinX all day and yet fail to pass P95.

It's version 3.2.1, correct? When I click on the yellow button I get nothing.

Oh, I NEVER leave any voltages on auto. I tune everything manually, until I get things just right.

Hmm. Maybe with AMD it's different. With Intel Core i7 and C2Q I could pass 3-4 hours of prime95, yet fail in 20 cycles of LinX or 10 minutes into OCCT linpack...if the OC was not stable.

As long as your Crunching, Media, and daily use stable, without BSODs or any other funny occurrences, then who cares about those benching utilities. TBH Prime 95 is getting way too old.

BTW Paulieg Check your Six.

I agree and disagree.

I 'm a bit of a stability junkie, but I don't like to waste my time running HOURS of prime95. If I can pass a LinX 20 cycle and a 1 hour OCCT along with crunching, I'm stable.

If you are talking about Cool 'n' Quiet then you can turn it off in the bios or in W7 you can set the power plan to High Performance.

Hope it helps.

The newest revision for the CH IV has a setting to enable/disable turbo core. I'm not referring to C&Q.

I was saying check your Six on the posts, you violated one of the forum rules lol and I know it was an accident just wanted to make sure you didn't lose your head. :toast:

hey i was reading some reviews about OC the X6, what ram do I need to buy for this CPU,

It seems like they are saying the Amd can only utilize up to 1330mhz not 1600mhz is this correct...?
So it would be a waste of money to buy the 1600 or 2xxx speeds>?
josh

Master}{ · May 5, 2010

it will handle 1600 if your board will!

I run 1600 in mine

1066 is standard on 790FX, 1333mhz on 890FX. I don't think any of us actually run those speeds.

Why the chipset matters so much when the memory controller is in the cpu, probably has to do with the IOMMU. People in reviews are downplaying this feature, but one thing they don't mention is it can let things like videocards address main memory directly(chipset has as direct link to memory controller).

So, like ACC(southbridge direct link to CPU), this feature also helps stabilize clocks as well, and because it's connected to the memory controller, it's memory control that gets the benefit.

It's also why Crosshair4 support 2000mhz memory.

There's some info you won't find in any review. Mojo EXPLAINED. :laugh:

I love how so many reviewers say it's only useful for virtualization. Amateurs. :laugh:

mastrdrver · May 5, 2010

I'm with Paulieg on stability. Stability is extremely important for me and don't want to try and chase down some random bsod while playing bc2, or why my system won't wake up from S3/hibernation, etc. Do it once and get it over with.

It is. I primarily only use LinX when working on my i7. I found I could pass 20 loops of LinX with full memory but after about 3 hours of P95, one of the threads would fail. It was consistent too.

It sucks too cause it takes so long for it to run. I'm not sure about how OCCT compares to P95. I really havn't used OCCT since I was trying to overclock my Q9400.

so what your saying is that the crosshair4 that i bought needs 2000mhz memory cause that is what it can handle... then i will stop looking at 1600 and look only at the 2000mhz
thanks
