There are no unlocked cores. What are you smoking dude.

I'm asking about using ACC to help overclock stabilitiy with a phenom ii x4 955 be. ive set it to auto. dont think its particularly helping, cant quite tell. i think lowering my core voltage might help with my stability more than anything else. currently testing 1.3375+ .2 cpu over voltage = 1.504 vcore, 3.7ghz. really fighting the system.

I keep failing prime95 blend after like 4-7 hours. Failed on the following fft lengths recently, with varying overclocks of 3.6-3.8ghz on 1.488vcore - 1.568 vcore (seems like higher volts, ie higher temps, cause instability more than anything).

288k
1152k
288k
1440k
1152k
288k

So does that mean like my cpu is perfectly fine, and its a ram/cpu-nb issue? Im just checking out my cpu right now, maybe i should stick with small fft testing?

Everything on my system is manually set to stock settings. except ht link is set to auto, for some reason i have posting errors with ht link manually set to 1.8 mhz (slight downclock) or 2ghz (stock). and my fsb is at stock right now. it will only post after a hard reset, kind of weird, whatever.

edit: On a side note, I notice with blend, that my hdd light flashes. It's not 'on', but like... once a second it flashes. Is that too much? I read it shouldnt be flashing 'all the time' but i dont know what that means in context...

Did not read your previous post correctly.


But that failing could mean anything, do you have memtest cd to test your ram ? could you try leaving everything at stock and try again.

oh damn your cpu has broken pins

yes and its been fixed. man its hard talking to you

http://www.overclock.net/t/1324029/fixing-broken-pins-phenom-955/0_100#post_18553953

I have no cd drive. I probably have a usb drive around here though. Good idea, ill memtest tommorow.

Tonight, i'm going to run a test at WAY lower voltage then Ive been playing with, at like 1.46vcore. If that passes, ill know temps/volts were causing instability. But given the fft lengths, I think that if this fails after 7-8 hours, I'm going to try upping the cpu-nb voltage from 1.1 to like 1.2, and i'll just up vdimm to like 1.616 from 1.56 (it wont work at the next setting up, itll downvolt heavily... 1.616 vdimm is 1.65 setting in bios...).

on a side note, my whole system was overclocked a year and a half ago. See, my system is as below, overclocked as below, 2 years ago, on an athlon ii x3 cpu (x4 3.41 ghz). Then i got this phenom ii. I reset everything to stock, overclocking everything all over again. Id think my ram would be okay at stock settings. but yea, maybe its causing problems, who knows.

i am not reading your original thread BTW.

You may have tried this or know about it but i writing it anyway
"go with stock speed and the lowest voltage" . from here keep increasing or decreasing volts and FSB +- till you are in windows and then run prime or ibt then go back and try upping the clocks and voltage accordingly. I hope you are not touching the HT ? you will need to change the RAM speeds as they would vary when FSB is changed. NB can be changed later.

I have an Athlon X3 445 too which can be OC'ed to 4.0 Ghz but @1.6 v and super smooth. I feel your system should be ok @1.3 volts @stock speed.


BTW what phase does your motherboard support ?

I have a phenom ii 955 BE. this is the phenom ii 9x5 club.

Dont worry about my motherboard. I have put cooling on it, and I have 2 temperature monitors on it, to make sure it stays well under the limit of 100*C and long term limit of 90*C (its running at 70*C max).

I have just thrown an AMD system togetha so I can practise AMD overclocking as I have only 3 Intel gaming rigs.
The setup as follows:

Phenom ii x4 965 be
Asus crosshair IV FORMULA
8gb 1866 gskill ripjaws x
Corsair H70 with noctua NF-F12 fans

I have little knowledge on how to get AMD systems stable when overclocked but been reading tips here and there. Wats the highest clock I should expect with this setup?

I currently got 3.6ghz @ 1.472v, and im pretty sure i can get much more. Phenom ii x4 955 c2.

Thing is, nothing was stable on my chip for a LONG time, even at 3.4ghz, until I downclocked my 2xRAM from 1333mhz to 1066mhz. The system I have, I've had for 2 years except I just upgraded the cpu from athlon x3 450 rana (@x4, 3.41ghz/2.5nb) to the phenom, and I've run the RAM at 1348mhz/CL7/1.616vdimm.

So I don't think my RAM is the problem, think it's the IMC.

So has anyone else ever had to downclock their RAM, run on single channel, or run in ganged mode instead of unganged, to get stable? I haven't tried ganged mode or single channel yet, but I should probably try a 24 hour prime95 test on stock settings... but regardless, just wondering if anyone ever had something similar.

First of all you have a C2 chip where OC is much limited compared to a C3 chip. So dont expect much. As a thumb-rule, you should try to squeeze at least 3800MHz rather than pushing it further. Dont worry about frying your CPU with over voltage because after a certain temperature, the thermal throttle kicks in and you comp will go off all of a sudden. But feeding a chip with too much voltage would reduce its life cycle is what the theory says. But according to me , thats just theory as i have heard no one partially killed their CPU with over voltage. BUT, phenoms just dont like too much heat. After 45~50C you can expect instability results.

Also about your question, Ganged mode should give you more room for OC compared to Un-Ganged. Also if you have four DDR slots on the Mobo, try the one closer to the CPU. Dont take HT link beyond 2000 MHz and set NB frequency between 2400~2600MHz.
