[OFFICIAL] Phenom II X4 9x5 OC Club - Page 3

post #21 of 5645
I've got mine in and running and been playing around with it. So far the highest OC i can get on stock volts (1.35v) is 3.8GHz with a multi of 17.5 and ref clock of 220. Can't go much higher than that cause its too hot in my room. I'm idling in the mid 40's and don't wanna push it. I'll try and post tomorrow with some 3DMark scores and game benches.

A weird thing that keeps happening is when I try to change my settings in the BIOS, after I save and exit the system will not POST and I usually have to hit the reset button to get it back then once I enter windows none of the BIOS settings keep and it reverts back to stock. I've been doing my OCing through AOD. I did install the chip before updating the BIOS (rookie move) and haven't cleared the CMOS since then. I'll try that and be back up here tomorrow. Goin to bed now.

Should fix it. Is the 3.8GHz on stock volts 100% stable?

i've just purchased mine, awaiting arrival

would there be much of a performance increase switching to an AM3 DDR3 board? I've been reading various sites, with varying benchmarks...

what are your guys thoughts? would the 955 run well with my GA-MA790X-UD4P?

The AM3 vs AM2+ platform may have slower ram performance, but that depends on the RAM you would be dealing with. If you have really good DDR2, then you can almost get it to perform identical. However, equip some top end DDR3, and you are blasting.

Other than that slight difference, that board should not in any way negatively affect overclocking and such. That is what I have discovered through my experiments.

It was stable enough to run through 3DMark06, Crysis and FC2 benchmark, didn't try running OCCT or Prime95 though.

Well, got mine fired up night... And OS completely installed and setup to my liking.

I easily got it to 3.85 @ 1.45vcore(nothing special I know). Will be trying for more tonight. Especially a stable 24/7 OC. Temps were in 30-32 @ idle stock clocks. 3.85 temps were 37-40 idle. Havent loaded it up yet.

Will reply tonight.

You really should try. I have found that these chips are hit or miss, can be stable throughout benchies but not anywhere 100% prime stable.

Awesome. That clock is nothing to be ashamed of.

If both of you guys would please test for stability and give all your information as per first page. This way I can get a database going.

Try upping the chipset voltage 1 step.

Prime, Orthos, OCCT are kind of crappy tests IMO. While theyre good for testing MOBO reference clocks' theyre not so great for actual CPU overclocks. Even my beloved S&M v1.9.1 isn't infallible. They merely show you that it can run their software without crashing, doesn't mean it won't crash though.

At any rate, Slappa how do you like that UD5P board? I've been looking at it for a while now, just wanted to hear some input from someone that actually had it.
Ill probably be getting my 955/AM3 later on this year, so I'm reserving this spot

I agree about the tests. But people like to have the security of not crashing and losing work etc.

The UD5P is very nice, has nice features etc,

However here are the two cons:

-Bios is very flakey and needs an update
-Ram clocking is not very good yet, and Phenom II's rely on good ram clocking as per chew* from xtremesystems
