lai lai... dun be shy bro...

asus 890gx board is more impressive... 10 phase pwm...

but again, it's an asus & d price won't be cheap...

my very 1st 24hr prime stable ss...

Update:

The best way is I think, someone has mentioned it before, which is 'isolation' technique...

Test and jot down every little info regarding overclocking your Proc, Ram and also mobo...

Like me when I get a new rig (juz imagine everything I new) I will test CPU at stock voltage first see how far it can go before needing some juice in order to stabilize it...

Then I move on to Ram...the last result will be implemented together with the highest CPU speed achievable without needing vcore boost...

Last but not least, the mobo frequency (HTT,QPI,FSB) will be the last thing I would touch...because it is only helpful if you want to do fine tuning...for raw results, better play with multi...But if your proc isn't a BE or EE, then FSB tuning is the only way to OC....

Btw, me still 50/50 on R2E and UD7

i am newbie in overlocking
my phenom 955 running at stock speed, max core temp through prime 95 blend test is 59c, while i hv lower the voltage to 1.325

when i oc to 3.6 GHz, the max temp is 62, voltage 1.35

is it ok for the full load temp ? i am using hyper tx3

A bit high on the side but nothing serious...

Are you using single fan or dual configuration...if single I suggest you use dual config...

try to lower around 1.3v starting from 3.2 and go up till you fail, small FFTs prime....

dual fan
ya, i start from 3.2 and it failed the blend test when up to 3.8GHz with cpu voltage 1.375v
the idle core temperature is about 38-40c at stock speed, but it go up fast to 57c running the blend test
i heard that the max temp for phenom 955 is 62c, is it unsafe when i oc to 3.6GHz bcoz the full load temp is same with that limit ?

Blend?? Who said anything about Blend test? I metioned the Small FFTs not Blend test...

Max temp on the white paper is 62c....so try to get max temp around 58c if you can...

Not to say unsafe, but not advisable if you love your proc...

Not to say also that it will burn, only, things could sometimes happen..

Here a high temp run..I MADE before...using Asus M4A78E...

i have done the blend test last time and told u the result i got
it's not i read from ur post and go do the blend test just now
thanks ur suggestion, i will be running small fft test

i believe u can go higher, what is tmpin0, 1 & 2?

btw, some poison for those 8xx board chasers...

i find it abit expensive for a 4+1pwm board but usb3 + sata3 is welcomed features...




asus saliva droppin(but wallet burnin ) board...

Adoyai, 4+1 phase meh? Might aswell get ECS, 6+1 phase

that ud3 229 is RM or what..
i though usd100++..

tapi itu warne kan... can't not make it lah bro... old nf4 lp theme + foxconn?

lagi worse then biopening leh...

SGD bro...

if rm i sapu 2 ledi...

kekeke look on the other board also cheap if RM..
so far no other option.. expensive la like that for the lowest model..

i think the price will be cheaper once it become official la kan?

im tend to be spoonfed here..any 8series have am2+ Socket?

btw..im drooled hard over the C4F

i don't think there'll be 8xx series that support ddr2, that's just me lah... why not sell off ya ddr2 board + get a cheapo but ok ddr3 board? ddr3 is d way to go now...

Mana ade org main DDR2 dah

p/s: thread X58 mcm takder olang worrr...

Me just hours away before making a very important decision.....

R2E or UD7

Itulah still waiting for biopening, btw i notice from gaygaybyte spec it mention hybrid CFX, could it be something like Nvidia hybrid thingy?
If it really is then would save a lot of watt coz able to switch from internal to discret gpu

Biasa ah bro, intel thread all

hmmm.... i believe both are d same for oc term, i'll choose d one w/ better distro service + look. r2e has better layout but pwm heatsink is abit overdone (ala ah beng style) while gayga looks more simple while havin less pleasant layout (pci-e x16 ports are abit crowed there). if it's free, am happy to use either one, but if i were to fork out my own hard earned $$$, i'll choose biostar gigabyte in sgp...

energy savin is always a welcome feature... go green...

not so sure whether sb850 really got no acc support, so far only asus 890gx got core unlockin function which implemented usin an onboard switch... hmm... this is worryin...

AMD officialy banned Core unlocking on 890 chipsets!

need to wait those crazy mobo maker to counter attack amd decision..
like so boring la.. so just use AOD?
