I dont own Ph2, i do overclock (altho its not much but it helped me overcome bottlenecking with the 1950 Pro AGP) If i had the time and money this machine would probably be at 2.7GHz running a 3850.

WOOOOOO......well i didn't wanna be rude or anything i thought i should ask thanks guys!

Try upping the NB volts more, like 1.55v or something. I think it's safe up until 1.60v as max.

Seriously Super? Default is 1.175v I believe? I thought 1.4v was the MAX recommended for air or water? :confused:

So, if you guys look at my system specs, do you think my PSU may be a possible bottleneck? Reason I'm asking is because this morning I was trying 3.8 again at 1.55v on the CPU and 1.4v on the NB. I saved the BIOS settings and went into the kitchen to get some coffee. When I came back to my computer it was turned off. I turned it on and put it back to my 100% stable setting (3.5) and it booted right up like it normally would. Is that a sign of the PSU not giving enough juice?

No that's a Channel Well unit, they are really good. You're fine in that department.

mightve just been to much for it to handle some chips are like that dont worry

might be a bad batch or the motherboards fault or faulty bios

cooling wise is great

is that a sb 790 or a sb600

MilkyWay · Mar 6, 2009

Its a 790FX, SB600. My only real bottleneck is my motherboard. I'm not able to adjust the NB multiplier. Because I have a 920 I have no CPU multiplier option either. I overclock by adjusting the bus frequency which raises the NB frequency. But yeah, I didn't think it was my PSU. Thats just never happened to me before.

you just answered your own question its the NB try giving it some more juice (Voltage) see if that solved the issue just a tad of a bump but you know that already

ShadowFold · Mar 7, 2009

Looks like you need a bios update :toast:

johnnyfiive · Mar 7, 2009

Shadow, how about a 920 top 5?

What makes you say that?

ShadowFold · Mar 7, 2009

Your bios should read it as a Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition, not Phenom II

It does, I just have an old version of CPU-Z. I'll get the new one now.

I have my NB voltage set to 1.55v because I'm using all four DDR2 DIMMs for a total of 8GB of Dual Channel memory. According to ASUS tech support 1.6v is safe, anything higher and you are looking for trouble.
