LOL... yeah, i know how addicting forums can be. A few of my other hobbies are motorized scooters and two stroke engine building, been a member on forums for those things for over 7 years.

Thanks for the warm welcome, im sure i'll spend a decent deal of my time on here now that finally decided to sign up.

Go ahead and throw me on the roster for sure... can throw me on the 939 appreciation too if you like. Got a older asus board based 939 compaq that i slapped few decent components in... gosh i wish i could oc it, other than using ntune. I'll get around to putting him and a few other machines in my roster list.

EDIT: nvm, i realized you can probably only control rosters for clubs that you start.

Cool I'll get you on the roster...

For the 939 Club you have to post a valid cpuz or a screen shot of you 939 rig over in the 939 Club thread listed in my sig and request membership in that thread. think3r, txtmstrjoe and blitz will add you to the 939 club respectively. I'm not a moderator or director or any body with any any real authority. I'm just another glorified member like you who was happily chosen to manage this thread do to my interest in this club. Enjoy your time hear and feel free to post any thing in this thread that you feel is usefull. Thanks for your interest in this Club.

Welcome aboard,

N2G

EDIT:

Hey every one give AllenG & pswfps a warm M2N Club welcome.

I was mistaken. I have my system running at the above spds 3220Mhz DDR920 OCCT stable for 2.5 hours and solid as a rock. Although I had a BSOD while playing quake a while ago. It's not OC related though it has something to do with the Nvidia driver for my 9800GT OC vid cards. At least that is what the BSOD screen said.

I think my board like that 14 multi as I am now at 2889. 14x207x5 amd mem is sitting at 414. OCCT stable for 45minutes

Nice, not shabby for the 65nm Brisbane. I had a 4800+ running at those same settings in with 8 gb of Corsair XMS2 800... wasnt a bad setup for the bit i had to run it while i was waiting to get my water setup for my 6400. For some reason though i noticed that the 90 nm windsors were faster than the brisbanes over all and clock for clock. I pretty much decided to skip over them, 65nm wasnt a great step forward for amd, but the new 45 nm design seems to be holding promise with 3.7 ghz on water for a PII 720.

Decided to actually run cpu-z on here for the first time... funny thing i notice is it shows my ram alot slower than its really going. (Maybe thats the barrier for the windsor cores) Memtest shows a legit DDR 1192 rating though, so i really dont know. Kind of odd, either way its plenty fast for what it is and i wont complain. Havent had an intel system (short of a i7) even come close to holding its own against this poor old tired AMD. haha

Anyways, heres the cpu-z shots. I'll see if i cant get my camera to take a decent pic of my monitor while running memtest also. ROFL, gotta love the core voltage!

AllenG

with the 65nm and 90 nm chips, the lower you drop your multi, the higher you can go with the HT (provided your other components can take what your throwing at it.) There is a point of diminishing returns dropping the multi though. I havent first hand tested this with a Phenom, but it held true everywhere else... so it probably holds true with them too.

So is that oc stable with that much juice and heat?

What is that temp monitor you are using in the second screen shot? Is that coretemp?

I have been able to post 3400Mhz + some change with a hight voltage like that 1.52 O speaking of which did you enable cpu overvolt in the bios and do you know if that is what we have to do to enable the 8 phase pwr exchange circuits.

Thank you,

N2G

As stable as i've seen. I leave my machine on almost 24/7... i turn it off on the rare occasion that i go somewhere for a few days or more and dont have it doing anything.

Temp monitor is Nvidia's, part of the ntune suite. Supposedly those are core temps, i'd say they seem to be pretty accurate.

I set this up about 5 months ago and havent had to touch it since, i think i might have had to enable something to do with vcore unlocking or something like that... but i dont exactly remember, next reboot i'll go into my bios and check settings. Im not sure on the 8phase power, do these boards even support it? I though you had to be able to plug in an 8 pin cpu power to get the full 8 phases? Dont quote me on that though, because i for one am not sure.

A note, i could never get a stable overclock on air using an arctic freezer pro64. 6400 BE just makes toooo much heat i think, and being 90 nm and all it doesnt dissipate heat away from the core quite like the smaller architecture cores do. I found it's upper thermal range is around 150 F... 141 is as high as mine usually makes it, and as high as i ever like to see. I've seen blue screens at temps over 145 when pushing vcore harder than i am now... which unfortunately with the way i want to OC, i cant get any higher right now without more vcore. Thats why its time for a new processor. lol

Here read this when you get some time. They mention the 8 Phase power and yes this board has it. This board is the bigger bro of the A8N32 SLI Deluxe. And I just added that board to my arsenal as well.

"A quote from the here read this link."

The dual X16 A8N32-SLI Deluxe was the first full 8-phase design we have tested, and ASUS continues the 8-phase design in the M2N32-SLI Deluxe. The layout is generally superb and typically ASUS, with the bulky ATX connector on the right board edge as we prefer. The 4-pin connector is in the less-desired center board location, but the copper heatsinks surrounding the CPU socket do make it a little easier to route the 4-pin cable between the heatsink and rear IO connectors to minimize interference with on-board components.

hmm, good to know. maybe the 8 phase power is what made these boards 125w / 140w capable with the ability to push far. I'd imagine if the board is setup for it, we probably dont have to do anything to enable it. All i remember seeing was a vcore unlock option or something.

AllenG

btw, do any of you know what the stock voltage is for the cpu to nb ht? Wanna bump it up, see if i cant get the HT cpu to NB bus past the 1.4ghz barrier i've hit. Found a way to get more out of my cpu, but i have to kick down my speed to 4x... i think a little more voltage to that bus might open it up a tad, maybe to make it to 1.5 ghz atleast? If no one knows, guess i'll just have to play with it... or does anyone have any software that might give me those voltages?
