im ONLY using 14x multi..but im hitting 3.7 :P, but yes, w/e works for you ofcourse.
also your cooler is really not that good for a phenom. might wanna look for another alternative. the xig. HDT 1283 seems to be what we're mostly using since its super effective esp. at the cost. ofcourse a TRUE will do anyday if funds are good for you.

Mnn cant really afford to spend money on a cooler right now. Perhaps in the future, also I thought AC freezers were supposed to be alright... shoulda researched more

they do "do alright". just not a high end solution in air cooling. but given these chips, are amazing at temps anwyay. so just go..and oc some more.

If the settings hold, then default overdrive to stock and change the settings in the Bios. Easiest and best way to test. My asus needed to have CPU AI Tweek set to manual for anything to work right. Try these settings:
CPU V - 1.425
FSB (reference clock) - 200
Multi - 18

Already did the first part. Did a quick OCCT test, stable with a 16.5x. I'm not gonna be adding any volts just yet, just a simple multiplier increase. My problem is how to keep the settings from reverting back to stock the next time I boot up. My initial assumption was that Overdrive could accomplish this, but it sounds like the software is just a user friendly way to find a stable OC and I still have to set it in the BIOS, correct?

Thats good, I get pretty good temps imo anyway. 28c idle and 48-50c max load. Ill be happy if I can get a stable 3.5-3.6 OC. That should be enough to do what I need to anyway
*edit* Finished 1 hour OCCT run at 3.55GHz, Ill do a longer test tomorrow

I might give this OCCT test a try, I am sick of wasting hours upon hours testing with prime.
Are you guys finding it OK to set the NB Vid to 1.4 up from 1.3, and does it build up more heat? I think that might be part of my instability issue ATM.
I may have to invest in a ziggy 1283 or 1284

elito · 03-23-09

your NB defaults @ 1.3? mine was only 1.1 on this board...and its awlays fine to just push a notch up in volts.

Update...

- Clock Speed - 3712
- Bus xMulti - 200.01 x18.5
- RAM Speed - 1066Mhz 5-5-5-15-22
- Vcore - 1.525v
- HT Link - 2000
- NB - 2400
- Motherboard - Asus M4A79 Deluxe
- Chipset - 790FX
- CPU Cooling - Sunbeam Core-Contact

Got to love those temps! Although interestingly Everest & CPUID show Core & CPU temps with 10degreesC difference between them, i.e idle core 17C idle CPU 27C (as shown below). If I use the ASUS probe software it only shows one CPU temp which is the exactly in between those two i.e. 22C. So I'm taking Asus probe to be correct for this time. So I'm adding 5C to all the temps shown by OCCT graphs.

3.8Ghz here we come.

Great results guys. Sorry been away a few days. Still trying to find someone to hit that magic 4.0Ghz for this chip here. Keep them coming!
