Hello.
Right now I'm using Artic Cooling MX-4. Put it about 5 or 6 months ago.

When you say "play" with voltages, you mean little increase and test, wright?
As I said before, I'm a beginner in overclocking.

P.S. I'm waiting the new Carmageddon:Reincarnation too.

EDIT:

I just set up the multiplier 200 x20 and Vcore to 1.440V (+0.025V)
About the ram, 800MHz, 9-9-9-24 default voltage.

It looks stable for the moment.
Run prime95 (27.9 build1) Blend test for 10 min and everything is ok. 9 tests passed , 0 errors 0 warning

Idle temp 36ºC (96ºF)
Load temp 54ºC (128ºF)
CPU fan at max rpm.

Tomorrow I'll run the test for a long time.

Yeah, that's what i meant when said play. :)

I ran the LinX test for 75mins - load temps 2 - 3 degrees lower than yours. You basically golden, raise the VCore/CPU voltage to 1.45v & run Prime95 again; my ran LinX test with the CPU voltage of 1.45v. Leave it @ 1.44v if it gives you trouble. Congrats. :toast:

P.S. Are you a C:R's KS or PayPal backer? Cheers.

I put my 965BE on 4.0 to run Heaven and no problems. Even play BF3 and all normal. But to keep safe, I run to stock.

Now, I wanna know if any of you have problems with read temps?.

I put AMD Overdrive and said 60°... but HWM and EasyTune (Gigabyte) said 50°. Always are 10° of difference.

I don't know what's. :banghead:

thanks.

Well, today I ran the Prime95 Blend test for about 4 hours, and everything is ok. No crashes.
0 Errors
Max load temp 59ºC

For me these are good results. I'll leave it like this.

And now is time to check the graphic card overclocking.

P.S. Are you a C:R's KS or PayPal backer? Cheers.
No, just cheked it in kickstarter and repent of not backed it.
For just 15$ a copy for Steam...
Now is too late.

Congrats, your 965BE is golden too; like most (if not all) rev. C3s actually. :) As for GPU overclocking: had a try - after it gave me more than few problems, reverted it to default clocks. Good luck in that too. :toast:

P.S. Visit carmageddon.com - they still have PayPal pledging campaign, although 20$ tier is all that left: you still get most of KS 25$ pledge. Visit them. :rockout:

Is it always exactly 10c higher? like even at idle?

In my experience Overdrive makes stuff up; maybe thats just me though. 60 is pretty warm so it would still be good to keep an eye on it. HWmonitor should be accurate though. Might try core temp or Openhardware monitor, see if you can get several things to all give you the same temp.

Hi there, what would be a good and cheap board to run a 1090T @ >3.8Ghz?

I managed to get 3.8Ghz on an Asus M5A78L-M LX PLUS but sadly the board didn't keep up as itthrottles the CPU to keep the VRMs safe so I'm currently running it at 3.2Ghz to avoid the throttling but I want to get the most of this chip.

Look for a board with an SB750/850/950 southbridge and 6+2 or 8+2 VRM's

Examples:
Gigabyte- UD3/UD5/UD7 series boards

Asus- Evo series boards

AsRock- Extreme4 series boards or better

MSI- not sure?

I've run the Gigabyte UD3 and Asus Evo boards and haven't had throttling issues while overclocking them... Also, older boards listing 140w cpu support are usually pretty solid ;)

I have an MSI 990FXA-GD65 running my 1100T @ 4.0GHz. I reckon the GD80 would be equally up to the task.

Those are all ATX boards. Due to space constrains I'm looking for mATX boards. :(

A visit to newegg.com seems to show that the best of the bunch is the GA-78LMT-USB3: 4+1 VRM, 8 pin EPS connector (all others are 4 pin) and the VRMs have a heatsink on them.

I run a couple of Biostar A880GZ's
BIOSTAR A880GZ Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - Newegg....

The 880G/SB850 chipsets are much better than the 760G/SB710 ones

I run an overclocked FX-6200 (4.0Ghz) in one of them and it's perfectly happy crunching 24/7 without throttling. It doesn't have a heatsink on the VRM but you could always add some of those Enzotech copper ones if it's an issue.

The board supports AM3/AM3+... up to FX-8350, but check the CPU support list first if you decide to buy as not all CPU's are supported in the BIOS (ex- 960T is not supported AFAIK)

*Second option- search out an older 790GX/SB750 mATX board. They only made a few models but I seem to remember one that was built pretty solidly ;)

Well the thing is that I don't recall ever seeing a Biostar board down here. :( The only motherboard manufacturers with official distribution are Asus, Asrock, Gigabyte, Intel, ECS and PC Chips, everything else is imported and more expensive as a result.

I'll get the Gigabyte and see what it can do. At least it should be better than the M5A78L-M LX PLUS. As for the older boards I also need FX support as I plan to switch to 8350s when the wallet allows for it (my two X6s cost me about the same a single 8350 costs).

i have also a X4 810 and a X6 1035T but they are "worth nothing since not BE" xD (and mostly low end OEM)

Well my 810 isnt on a good OC mobo and the X6 1035T is the predescessor of the 955 in my main rig

I bet without multiplicator unlock its indeed more fun

undervolting :)



i love my new board. this one has gooood VRM, compared to the crap asus one.

1min of runnign at full load and not a single fluctuation. add to that i dont use a UPS/stabilizer, AND i live in a third world country.

also the voltage is EXACTLY what i gave in the bios.
compared to the M5A97 EVO, there was always a ~+-0.1 tolerance to what i gave in the BIOS, even with LLC off !

i love my new board. this one has gooood VRM, compared to the crap asus one.

1min of runnign at full load and not a single fluctuation. add to that i dont use a UPS/stabilizer, AND i live in a third world country.

also the voltage is EXACTLY what i gave in the bios.
compared to the M5A97 EVO, there was always a ~+-0.1 tolerance to what i gave in the BIOS, even with LLC off !

You are basing your opinion off of software readings...those are always accurate.

that looks like VID is being measured and not actual core voltage, im probs wrong I just haven't seen vid in cpuz lol. ive seen an extreme4 vcore line and its straight until bigger clocks/volatges/heat sets in.

small overclocks or low voltage most cheap boards and all decent boards can hold a straight line. and like sarcastically said before software is crap at measuring hardware accurately.

but I must admit, the extreme4 for its price has some wicked voltage control!

Oh it is without a doubt reading the VID and not the actual core voltage

I use hwinfo64, itll give you the max/min/average as well as realtime 'software' readings.
you can click on a value and show a graph for it, however youll have to adjust the scale.

and up date cpuz, not sure when the screenie was taken tho.

ive seen some very decent overclocks on the extreme4 and stock voltage/clocks with all those stupid features disabled (ce1 etc) you should still get a rock solid voltage line.

and id like to see it :D

check speedfan. it is showing a rock solid voltage line. the graph in speed fan monitors it real time.
second screenie, i had prime running full.

just seems exactly like the vid, not often vcore is exact as vid from bios to os to full load.

maybe sensors configuration is wrong.

nope. i tweaked some stuff in the BIOS.
well actually i did what it was told in a couple of options. Asrock had the nice courtesy to mention what to set for power options depending on what CPU i have :D AM3, AM3+, if i have overclocked or not. etc :)

i did those and this is the result.
