well i thought my previous was stable, but it wasn't and adding more voltage didn't do a damned thing

so my new stable (as in it's been running two F@H GPU2 clients and one SMP client for over 24 hours) is 3.706GHz - 218x17 @ 1.50v, CPU-NB and HTT @ 2834MHz @ 1.50v on both. NB core is at 1.20, SB core is at 1.20. CPU load temps run about 50°C on water with ambients ~28-30°C.



i've only been able to boot into windows @ 3.9GHz, anything more and it's a no go. plus once i start forcing vCore down her throat, she BSODs faster than just not being stable. oh well. here's a CPU-Z validation @ 3.9.

and here's my fastest 3dmark run... only at 3.848GHz. with current settings, i'm just over 21k.

oh, and nice parts there. looks like fun

Nice man, glad to hear it arrived! Now you want to OC it, you know you do!

Yeah temps in brissy are getting brutal, and although I hit 3.8ghz stable (1.45v) my temps are not too good, 48 full load with 22 ambient AC (acceptable for summer). Trying for 3.8ghz at 1.44, it keeps on failing OCCT in the last 10 minutes so it may be possible...

And yeah dude, once you start rocking a water setup you'll be able to push it further for sure and there's still a bit of room atm, but thats already a nice oc!

Yeah from my experience, and from what I've read, NB must be >= HT-link for stability. Seems it was true for the past phenoms and this generation.

Hmm got a few things going against me. Temps as I have no air con! also this board seems a bit difficult an i'm not a great overclocker!!!
I have a foxconn A79A-S sitting in my folding rig once foxconn releases a bios for it might have to throw the phenom II into that board.

yeah, you can't get the HTT link above the NB clock... unless different boards allow you to set an actual "xXX" multi. on my board, the highest i can set the HTT link to is equal to or less than the NB multi.

i think im gonna have to reinstall windows tomorrow. and i hope my board has a bios update soon. i can post and bench with the chip at 3.8GHZ but my comp reboots once i start a stress test such as Prime 95 or OCCT. hardware monitor also stopped reading my core temperatures. ill play more tommorow. but this is weird.
