This is how I'm getting my 965 stable at 3.8. Note that mine's the 140W version though.

BSOD before it finished 1st pass:


CPU Voltage @ 1.45
Multiplier @ x19 (200 * 19)
NB voltage @ 1.3
NB Multi @ 2600MHz


Should I bump up the NB voltage?

---------------------------------------------------

Went down with the NB Feq. No help.
Went back to 2600 (NB Freq)
upped the voltage on CPU to 1.475 [FAIL]


These are the last setting if anyone has anything:
CPU Multi @ x19
CPU Voltage @ 1.475
NB Freq @ 2600MHz
NB voltage @ 1.3


Guys with the setting above it was getting hot quick 10 seconds in it was at 51C so that voltage is gonna have to come down I think. Im leaving it off overnight (my baby went through hell tonight )

nn TPU

dont change the NB, you need to change the CPU-NB volts... do you have that option in your bios?

@ Munki. We both have Asus boards so the bios should be similar. Check this post, I have screens of the bios for my 4ghz CPU settings. The AMD Phenom II OC'ers Club

 

[Munki]

@Munki make NB V = 1.4V

one other thing too keep an eye on those HDD temps high 40's is not a good thing, hot air is thiner and doesn't give the lift the rw heads need to keep a safe distance from the platers surface...

51's not bad what does it eventually reach that's what counts

I'll try that. I don't wanna go over 55C for a daily OC.FAIL

I'll try that too. Can you write the setting out?

I was reffering to the CPU-NB voltage. I'll try to be more specific. Never remeber to do that.

I'll try that as well. Maybe I can get this thing somewhere today.

figured i would throw this thing up here the chip originally did 3.7ghz stable unluckily this mobo has seen its last days after dryice only one of the pci-e slots is still working and it will not hold the cpu over 260HTT very stable... probably doesn't help that this is one of the older higher wattage chips i think its a 125w unit but can't remember its been awhile and it sure isn't an "e" chip

once the board goes to rma land and back i will clock it back up for now this handle damn near any game

Fill out your system specs on the left hand side. In User Control Panel.

already did, just had it set to show members system specs [no]

 

[YautjaLord]

If only i could make an OC based on your comments alone (even though i respect 'em as much as i can) - my 965BE is 125W TDP & i think that VenomousX (let alone Noctua's NH-D14) can bring this C3 CPU to 4.0GHz quite easily. Ofcourse Swiftech's H20-320 Edge can bring this CPU to this desired frequency easy as well, but i still don't have that amount of ca$h yet. But if the VenomousX is not powerfull enough to stand the 4.0GHz 4h test in LinX/OCCT - trust me - i'll switch to H20-320 right at that moment. Til then - VenomousX is preferred. Keep on headbanging. jk

Should be OCing' my X4 this weekend. Just got done installing my Corsair H50.

 

[(FIH) The Don]

NICE!!!!

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

meh hyper 212+ with 2 yate loon mediums will give roughly same cooling performance as an H50

Heh. I got my H50 for no money out of my pocket basically, and it cools better than my Hyper 212+ did with the same CM R4's. So I'm happy with it. Now go ragequit out of a game or something

 

[wolf]

from what I've seen the 1090T runs quite cool compared to i7's, and I'm looking for the cheapest yet decent performing air cooler to keep it under 55 degrees and hopefully quiet at 3.8ghz, shouldnt be too hard considering I doubt I'll be loading all 6 cores at 100% during regular use for a looong time.

anyhow, air cooler suggestions? hopefully one where I wont need to take the mobo out

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

depending on the case a FRIO works well and cools well 965be 4000mhz 2800nb max stable clock im under 50'c in Intel Burn Test for 20 runs. OCCT 2hrs im also under 50'c fans arent that great on a stock frio but they do have speed control knobs and my deltas allow under 50'c at 2000rpm so as you can guess not that loud at all

any tower cooler will do the job

212+ with 2 yate loons
any decent Noctua
Thermalright 120 or w.e it is
Megahalems
yadda yadda

i just prefer the FRIO rubber fan holders so no vibration easy install on AMD and its base config has it pointing the right direction aka

<----<----<---- instead of the usual bottom out the top senario and as long as the ram is regular heatspreader size aka no jumbo heatsinks ram easily fits under the cooler and fans

with coolermaster R4s sure the H50 will perform a shit ton better with those fans cause there crappy fans decent fans on both tho theres no big deal. That said i cant knock on no money out of pocket i did the same thing with my 940be to 965be was it a great upgrade nope but no cash outta pocket made it badass well that and actually being able to get above 3400mhz 2000nb was great the old 940 just couldnt go any higher


blah blah double post blah blah blow it out your ass its a clubhouse.

 

[Radical_Edward]

Uh, they aren't crappy fans. They work fine for my use which is helping keep the noise down, yet cool well. I have my rig crunching all night long, so I can't have it be too loud.

I was hoping to go reaaaal cheap, thought of the CM Hyper TX3, but on second thoughts It probably woudn't do much better than the stock cooler.

my hope is 30 Euro's or less, I'm not a rich man after dropping my dosh on the 1090T itself.

the AII 640 i just tested with the TX3, and MX2 as tim, wont cross 55c load with linx, even with the fan not on full bore by far, and the CPU on 1.5v
(3500RPM i think it is, and it maxes at 2900 with smart fan)

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

yea but were talking athlon x4 which is 95w tdp not 1090T which is 125w 2 more cores + L3 cache in general Athlon II run much cooler then there Phenom II counterparts

 

[Athlonite]

yeah much slower to do things too

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

not really Athlon IIs run at a 5-8% disadvantage due to lack of L3 cache something a simple 200mhz overclock tends to mitigate to a margin of error aka less then 5% The L3 only shows higher gains when running demanding games or apps aka Games like Bad Company 2 or Supreme Commander seem to like the extra oomph from a big L3 cache. otherwise no huge difference

The CM Hyper TX3 is better than the stock amd one especially if you can find a second 90mm fan for it.

i know, but it was merely there for showing, that its better than stock

 

[wolf]

at about 15 Euro's for the cooler and 5 for the TIM, I might just have to try an MX3 then

 

[cdawall]

Umm the hyper212 is not a very powerful cooler...got one with a pair of 80cfm xiggi fans on it and the xiggi dk with the same settings gets better temps using a single ultra kaze. The heatpipes in the cm are to small to support high wattage chips hence why you don't see many people running 4 and 4.2ghz on them. The cooler is ok for stock and light overclocks but if you want a real overclock you need something meatier xiggi, v8/v10, noctua etc. And the h50 maxes out pretty quick to but it is better than the hyper 212.
