Gen

I'm using Vista 64 and couldn't even hit 3.6 with 1.5V. I can probaly get somewhere between 3.5 and 3.6 GHz...

I am hitting the 3.7 wall with Vista x64.


gonna install XP 32bit. just for overclocking purposes.

I'm on Vista x64 and I've finally managed to get it Prime95 stable at 3.7 GHz. Wasn't easy though, had to lap both the cpu and the cooler.

Yea let us know how that goes. Its Ridicolous that if indeed its tru that there is a OC wall.

Hmmm seems the phenom II isn't all that 64bit friendly either. Although to be fair it's ALOT better then agenda on 64bit

it seems so. last night i could post and bench at 3.8. but prime and occt would fail instantly. im hoping we all get new bios updates to make our new toys more friendly. but im not gonna complain. the 940 at stock speeds scored like 700 points higher than my tricore at 3.2 GHZ. im testing 3.7 GHZ right now with an 18x206 multiplier at 1.472 volts. hopefully all works out.

Both my Vista and Linux are 64-bit. I should use 32-bit OCNix from a LiveCD and use it just for high OCs and a little benchmarking. Maybe I'm stressing the SB with 3 SATA drives, I don't know for sure. But I tried raising every voltage other than NB - PCI-E link, and tried clocking the NB and HT links below 1500 MHz, but it just didn't want to do 3.8. Maybe time for water or something.

No money.

Just read that and saw the CPU-Z link That's ridiculous! Nice work!!

I'm in the process of doing all the updates... started at the beginning to get the extra HTT info, just got to this post... so about 6-7 pages left, then it'll get the update. THEN I get to hook up and external drive and save a bunch of stuff off this system and start disassembling... then start building the new one. Don't think it will be operational until tomorrow, based on available time, leak testing, OS install, etc. Plus I have to move some stuff around in the apartment... the ex is (finally) moving out this weekend, so my office that turned into a very cramped office/bedroom will now just be a bedroom, and the "office" will go out into the living room, which includes the computers. Its amazing what is deemed acceptable in a living room by either men or women... my new roommate, one of my best friends, is all about having three computers (one is a server) in the living room with the XBOX and all that jazz (this shouldn't surprise), but the ex would have had a heart attack if I asked to do something like that. Don't be surprised if I give her a boot in the butt on the way out

Anyway, bare with me the next couple days... updates will be fewer, with possible long gaps, but they will come. So keep posting updates! And nice work Drin!
