Lol i don't even have that option on my £40 board lol. All i had to do was jump to 1.5v and multi to x19 and volia. Not had a problem yet.

@ Pao, i had a 7750BE before this and Everest, Core Temp etc etc (any monitoring app) read the same value of my 7750 reading 15.C idle & 30ish C load. However i went into Bios and actually on idle it was at 30C. AMD chips are crap to temp monitor using apps. Right now @ 3.8 on my 720BE, idle is around 30.C but Bios measures it at around 35C.

Another update this time ref HT Link (stock 2000Mhz) and NB frequency (stock 2000Mhz).

With the system at a stable 3.4Ghz on stock volts, 2000Mhz HT & 2000Mhz NB I ran memory tests in Everest as follows;

3dMark06 also scored approx 13800points.

With the system at a stable 3.4Ghz on stock volts, 2000Mhz HT & 2600Mhz NB I ran memory tests in Everest again as follows;

3dMark06 again scored approx 13800points.

Note:- I tried the HT Link @ 2200 & 2400Mhz and it made no significant change to my scores, infact 3dmark06 score exactly the same!

In summary when raising the NB frequency I returned good memory / L3 cache performance gains. 3dMark06 showed no change.

did you match the HT link with the NB frequency? logan gave me this link and edumucated my self :P http://www.madshrimps.be/?action=get...62&articID=909 its a good link...

Just tried HT Link & NB @ 2400Mhz, no improvements in benchmarks. Have left my system at HT 2000Mhz NB 2400Mhz.

Mine is running on water.

I used the system for a week at 3.75ghz (15x250, Vcore: 1.5, CPU load temp 33 degrees Celsius) which was my top stable. (stress tested using OCCT)

For now, I prefer not to increase the Vcore any further.

Than after a while I realised that gaming scores are not much better when compared to scores of 3.675ghz level (15x240, Vcore: 1.46, CPU load temp 31) (this is likely because my gpus' are the new bottleneck). So I'm going with that now.

I'll post my CPU-Z validation as soon as I get home.

Small update, settled on the following settings for day to day running.

- Clock Speed - 3512
- Bus xMulti - 200.01 x 17.5
- RAM Speed - 1066Mhz 5-5-5-15-22
- Vcore - 1.325v
- HT Link - 2000
- NB - 2400
- Motherboard - Asus M4A79 Deluxe
- Chipset - 790FX
- CPU Cooling - Sunbeam Core-Contact
- Ati Catalyst 9.3
- Windows XP

GPU @ 675/1093 gives me 3dmark06 score 13800.
SM 2.0 5315
SM 3.0 6295
CPU 4285

Would be interested to hear what others are getting.

Temps are good across the board, I'm very happy.

man idk why i even bother getting the 720 and not the 710, why? because..i oc'ed with simply the default multipler (14x) sigh* maybe i should get rid of this and get a 710 huh? mine could definitely oc to 3.8 as it posts and boots into windows at 3.8@ 1.475/ 1.5ish but did not stress it - probbaly not stable.

Try playing with the FSB more. You should be able to get the chip a little higher with a higher FSB.
