All,

I am looking to ensure that the CPU/Mem/Mobo settings are setup for the best performance and decided to open this thread for suggestions. So far I am at 3.1 with no BSODs yet, however I got a 60 Celsius peak while running COD4 and was wondering if I can tweak it a bit to make sure it stays in the safe zone.

If you see something that is totally messed up, please point it right away. LOL

Under the hood:

Phenom 9850 BE
XFX 750a MOBO
OCZ PC8500 Platinum (4*2GB)
Coolit Domino WC Kit

Goal:

To get the processor to 3.2 GHz and to OC memory. Right now the 3.2 GHz will give me the BSOD.

Here are my settings:

Thanks in advanced!

Zomg awesome I´m running same CPU and I play CoD4 too! X3 Anyhow I can't OC my phenom more than 2.91GHz even though It's cooled by my awesome Zalman CNPS9700LED. How did you get it stable on 3.1GHz? :O

It seems that you need to keep the cpu voltage to around 1.4.

Just got the multiplier to 15.5*200. See the nvidia cp picture.

Water cooling here....
M3A32-MVP Deluxe also...see sig for cpuz

 

[joedr]

What CPU voltage you are seen at BIOS? What temps?

Just want to be sure I am moving to the right direction.

Thanks for posting the info!

Also, what is the SB to K8 freq and what it should be set to?

Thanks!

I have the multiplier on 14.5*200 and voltage on 1.35. No problems at all, should i try raise multiplier to 15.0 and voltage to 1.4 ? o.o What voltage would fit the best =/

 

[TrauzDragon]

Alright Multiplier at 15.0 and voltage on 1.4, cool and stable this far. o.o

Thanks! I will be trying lowering Memory speed cause there is like a wall past 3.1 Ghz.

HondaGuy,

Your setup seems to like higher Bus Speed. Is your ram PC6400 or PC8500?

I have Tracers(red ones) Led there PC6400, but I can run them at 1066 with loose timings
