Nope. Thats what's throwing me off when NB is mentioned. All I have is the Multi and FSB to mess with. I do have my V at 1.4 to make sure it stays stable since auto is 1.35 so not much of a jump.

try looking for HT ( Hyper Transport clock) instead my NB and HT are connected so use the same setting for clock seems it's a common thing with AM2+ mobo's

go into your bios and then into the Cell menu

under Hyper transport configuration set

SB to AM2 FreqAuto : Disable
SB to AM2 Freq : 2400Mhz
SB to AM2 Link : (16/16)


you may also need to increase the HT voltage from 1.2V to 1.4V so its stable

It took roughly year+ & now i get "Overclocking failed Press F1 to run Setup, etc..." message; so my AS5 died? :laugh: It was May 5th* that i successfully OC'd this 965BE, so how fast i need to apply new layer of this TIM? Like right now, or tomorrow will be fine? I'm @ 4.1GHz now, 1.4750v CPU voltage; vCore shows 1.440v or something. Thanx all.

Need help choosing a *reliable* motherboard for a Phenom II 555BE.

All 4 cores are good, but the motherboard I have the chip in currently is going bad (ASRock 870 Extreme 3)

I have my eye on this ASUS M5A99X, as it's comparable to my current one, and it's on sale on newegg right now: ASUS M5A99X EVO AM3+ AMD 990X SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 A...

I figure it's a decent step up, just was wondering if anyone here could share their opinions on this model?

Thanks!

I have that model and have had no issues with it- I've unlocked a 555 on it too (FX-8150 in it now) :toast:

Check the reviews section- It was reviewed here @ TPU and received a great rating!

Thank you both for the replies, I am reading the review right now and will likely order it immediately after. =)

EDIT: okay! I waited about a day later than I had planned but am very happy with the result as I netted the 99X-EVO for $114 after rebate, and just this morning saw that the EVGA GTX480 was on sale for $209!! For that price I could not pass up the upgrade from these tired old 8800GT's in SLI, though they have been solid as balls for the past 3 years, lol. The console cycle elongation really made that rig viable for most cutting edge games, but it's time to rock this puppy GTX480 style!! So excited!!! lol

Try the following:

CPU multiplier- 18X (3.6Ghz)
Turbo Multiplier- 20X (4.0Ghz)
Northbridge (NB)- 12X (2400Mhz)
HTT link- 10X (2000Mhz)
Ram- 1333Mhz (Cas 8)
CPU volts- 1.4v
All other settings at auto

I ran these settings and my 960T ran great!

*Note- I run a little more on the the safe side than most so you can likely push it up higher if you like but these setting are a good start.

I agree with all but to add:

Once you find if these settings boot and are stable start lowering this and find exactly where you start to become "broken" at. ;)

if you set the NB to 13 or 14 x for 2600MHz and the HTT the the same you'll get quite a good boost in memory throughput ;) also set HTT voltage to 1.4V to be stable

So I've ben having a little play in my BIOS after an update from 2202 to 2301 Asus M3A32MVP-Deluxe

and I've managed to get my
CPU to 3400MHz (17x200) @ 1.36V
NB to 2600MHz (13x200) @ 1.4V
HTT to 2600MHz (13x200) @ 1.1V

CPU to 3400MHz (17x200) @ 1.36V - Tried for higher? should get 3.6 - 3.8 I reckon

NB to 2600MHz (13x200) @ 1.4V - careful with this, make sure you are setting the voltage of the CPU-NB and not the motherboard north bridge. Otherwise 2600 on the CPU-NB is decent :)

HTT to 2600MHz (13x200) @ 1.1V - HT can stay at 2000 or 2200 if needed, doesnt really have that much of an effect on performance

oky mate but why i need to run my ram on 1333Mhz ? my ram is an 1600Mhz if i set to 1333Mhz do i lose my speed perfomance ? 1600Mhz is beter than 1333Mhz right :)
And NB multi for 14x to get 2600Mhz and this is for ram ? or CPU, also if i put NB for 2600Mhz i get HT 2600Mhz for CPU i'm a right ? :rolleyes:

I say leave your RAM @ 1600, put NB to 2600 - it improves the performance of the memory controller, as well as the L3 cache since it runs at the NB speed. If it changes the HT clock just ignore it ... upping the HT clock doesn't really do much for performance iirc.

Might be that the 1333 suggestion was made so you could run the ram at the tighter C8 timings, but C9 is fine at 1600MHz.

i can do this by AMDOverDrive ? or is beter to do it on BIOS ? thanks mate! what max HT is for AMD Phenom II x4 960T ?

I would do it all in the BIOS...

Max HT speed will depend on your specific CPU and a few other factors. As I said, it doesn't really affect performance... I leave mine on 2200MHz.

I would do it all in the BIOS...

Max HT speed will depend on your specific CPU and a few other factors. As I said, it doesn't really affect performance... I leave mine on 2200MHz.

Buddy waht you think on i getting the FX-4170 BlackEdition 4.2Ghz and Turbo 4.3Ghz 8Mb cach is AM3+ and my mobo is an AM3+ so is 100% compatible :D and what you think buddy betwhin AMD Phenom II x4 960T and AMD FX-4170 Black Edition, also FX-4170 got beter stock cooler :)

I would say stick with your Phenom until the new Piledriver CPU's are released later this year.

You could always buy a better cooler now since it will still fit your motherboard with a newer CPU later, and you OC more now :D

Might be that the 1333 suggestion was made so you could run the ram at the tighter C8 timings, but C9 is fine at 1600MHz.

Because even if the dram speed is raised, you are in essence still overclocking it even with it @ 2Ghz. They "only support" up to 1333 dram speeds. In essence would need to add IMC voltage even by raising dram speed.

The JEDEC only spec out 1333, but manufacturers rate their products for a given speed at a given voltage, so 1600 @ 1.5V or whatever. If you purchase a 1600 kit, set it to 1600 in the bios, with the correct voltage, you can hardly call that overclocking... in fact I would call running it at 1333 underclocking it. if you bought a 1600 kit and ran it at 1866 then sure thing, that is overclocked.

You dont purchase a 1600 kit to run it at 1333... in that case you should only buy 1333 kits then...

That's how I feel about it lol :D

EDIT:: I just realised that you meant the CPU only supports up to 1333 RAM... My bad lol I get it now :p
