hi guys, so got my 955, and heres my results, 4.0 ghz stable at 1.45 V, seems if i go to 4.1 she becomes less stable, and even at 1.5V at 4.2 she needs more voltage, whats odd though, is in my mobo at 1.475V it makes it 1.55V or atleast cpuz says 1.55V, anybody know whats up?

got my FSB mhz at like 255 or so, so my nb is around 2550 or so?? cpu mult is 16x, ram is fine, cpu temps stay under 34C at load,

You should be able to go up to 1.6v on water. That's a nice OC btw.

 

[toyz72]

4ghz seems to be the spot for them. mine refuses anything less than 1.5v for 4.

Personally I would be happy to over volt to up to 10 over volt on good air and if I was to go fully water cool, like 15% to 17% over volt.

 

[mastertrixter]

stay at 1.55 or under, water or not. anything over that i wouldn't run for a 24/7 oc.

try upping your cpu-nb and nb vid a little bit. might get that little boost to go to 4.1 or 4.2 and 1.5 vid

here's what i have mine at 24/7 if you want to take of those settings and run with em...my cpu nb is at 1.4

 

[Octane]

i cant get my nb up unless i crank up my fsb which also oc's my ht, so unless im just Stupid, i have not found in my bios, a way to seperately oc the nb, unless i am missing something

also voltage is a issue, i put extra copper heat sinks on some of my voltage regulators on the board, they seem to get even then hot under load, and i do got Some air flow sucking up and back,

so not too sure on them guys, but im pretty sure that hot to touch is not good, ha ha, but i am a gamer, not a load user, so, if its stable for a pass or 2 in prime 95 i think i'd call it a day, stability wise,

 

[mastertrixter]

not familiar with msi boards but im sure there is a way to up your nb without using just the fsb. at least i would hope there is

 

[Octane]

i do have a "cell" menu and a ram area, but beyond that im not sure, i mean i did look into it, but for my ram area its just the memory,

 

[mastertrixter]

on my board i had to enable something called custom p-states and then it gave me access to the nb multi

I would hope so...should also be a way to downclock the ht

I am doing both at the same time

yeah thats what im doing as well

 

[Octane]

where in your mobo did you find this to disable?it might help me out in some sort of form

 

[Octane]

figured it out i think, its Sb to am2freqauto Disabled, now shows sb to am2 freq 200, i boot into windows my ht is now 250mhz and my nb is 2500mhz, which my fsb is at 250 so nb of 2500 is right, now to get my HT up to 2000

edit: ht is now 2000, just ran prime 95, at 4.125 ghz, at 1.45 volts, nb is 2500, core 4 failed, said fatal error, round 5 occured expected less than 4 or something like that, so not sure what to do next

Bump ur CPU-nb vid and ur nb vid a notch

 

[Octane]

what do you mean? you mean to attempt to get it to 2700 mhz?

also i just did 4.1 ghz at 1.48v and my voltage regulators are not hot, i guess the Ht made them hot?

just ran a prime 95 for about 5 mins or was it 8, and touched them guys that was always hot and they where not cold but not really warm yet,

No I mean bump ur CPU-nb and nb voltages

 

[Octane]

ok so nb voltages up, i went to 4.4 ghz and it was doing some bsoding when i went on prime, i had v at 1.55, didnt up the voltage of the nb, ill try that now

 

[Octane]

ok well i cant seem to be stable beyond 4.2 ghz, seems like the cpu uses, 1.58 or so V at 4.2 under a stress test, and idle ish its using 1.52 or so. in bios i set it at 1.50, but she seems stable, ran 10 mins worth of prime 95, one thing i cant seem to do is get my NB up, for me to get my nb up i gotta go with fsb, and i want to keep my ram up as fast as i can get it, seems like 1000mhz is stable, and somewhere around that and 1066 it becomes unstable,

Post up a cpuz screen shot of the main tab and the speed tab
