Lol, probably would not happen. The most just bsod or rounding errors.

Bro u retired tapi still so rajin meh

we shall see... 2.2k sp32m is abit challengin... will u take 2.1k prime stable sir?

life is bored in sg if one doesn't have money, luckily i got a fren who has a rig for me to tweak...

joke aside, any update for ya geil ultra bro?

32M will be suffice.

Prime take longer to test the ram.

1.440v is the lowest possible vcore to stable at 3.3ghz?

my lame result..and this was so last week..kekeke..now these sticks belongs to my lil bro d


and got 1 elpipda BDSE with me..not clocking so well..nvm..low profile chip also.. i dont expect much from it..just having fun time with low level HW.


now burning up an IMC.. to make it ready for ram clock..

@unker
i tot ur thuban went to new owner d? not yet a?
wa..so many amazing result from u.. i is jeles.. cant afford luxury HW.. kekeke..

anybody know where to buy Biostar TA890FXE board?

hmmm... lemme check sir, but i doubt it can survive 32m @ 2.2k, cheap stuff always have lower wall than those premiums for sure...

wanted to let go but no taker, hence, more & more biskut & cup nuddle missin in my office pantry. my hair gettin lesser & lesser too thanks to d msg in those cup nuddles...

btw, great clocks there from kvr...

amazin results resulted from havin lotsa luck... i'm sure they can fetch better mileage under u or sis xixo... as mentioned, i'm just a "mat rempit" class of casual clocker...

sim lim square is d nearest u can get i think... for d price it costs, i'd rather settle w/ ahsos m4a88td-v evo /usb3 in lyp. much cheaper + clock pretty well if not as gud as biostar. but if u can find it available locally, by all mean go for biostar...

wa...so good...waiting for my c4f..then can oc it d..hehe..

mat rempit dont prime stable.. mat rempit use cheap HW and push like hell but still going no where...just like me
just like use moto kapchai dan bawak laju2 till terbabas..kekeke


i am disappointed.. bought true regor.. the IMC i guess not as strong as my unlocked regor..
just clocking the IMC is better.3ghz @ 1.40vIMC.but clocking ram is abit worse compared to my unlocked regor..

target a thuban..but cant wait till salary (been 4 days late d) and end up with bodoh ram with bodoh proc..

chiv, i can only dream of it... piece of advice from noob like me, dun spend too much on chiv if ur not after 2* x16 pcie lane, voltage measurin points (meanin u gonna do above average oc), aesthetic looks and rich bios (means u like to make ya life complicated). some more, bulldozer is not far from bein launch from now, so u mite better off spend ya bucks on a be chip/premium ram which can still be used on d latter platform. a mid range board like giga's 870/890 or ahsos 880 will do d job gud enuf.

d x6 is not strong either, 3k @ nb freq is like something too much to ask for. for moderate volt (1.3v +/-0.2v), it max out around 2.7~near to 2.9GHz. below average if u ask me.

if u plan to play alot w/ ram, either get a deneb w/ great imc or a 2nd thuban (be preferred if ur into other benchies).

u thinking too much unker..perhaps no enough tweak since u bz tweakin ram..fogot the IMCahh fogot..non BE.. have to consider HTT olso

2nd hand thuban is hard to find..no one letting the chip go unless bulldozer arrived d..
and i more to green side (the main thing is i dont have much money) so settled with athlonII only..

i dont have much experience with deneb c3.just few quick test when build PC's for my frens. but iirc, deneb c2 need 1.5+vIMC for 3ghz NB freq stable..
later try clocking ram with deneb.. 560 perhaps but still my rams will be low level one..

im a bit slow in catching up with HW..


edit: some freshly done SS.. not finalize..but the vIMC quite ok for me

htt is not a problem w/ locked chip, d problem is w d divider + cpu multi. u need 1600 divider for high mem freq, so say ya ram max out @ around 250htt (for a 2k ram freq), then will u be satisfied runnin a thuban on 3.5GHz (14*250) only if u were to keep 2k ram for 24/7? hell no... that's why we need unlocked (or higher) multis to maximize d clock, mem freq as well as imc freq.

gotta agree that there are cases where deneb's imc can't clock as high as regor/propus, but d L3 does help in contributin better mem bandwidth apart from havin higher nb freq. if u have decent sticks, imc will be d 1st to hit its limit earlier than chip (clock) or ram freq. i certainly dun mind sacrificin a notch of imc freq in order to get higher cpu clock and/or ram freq...

ah_khoo:thx for the explanation

Biostar TA890FXE vs Biostar TA890GXE, is the overclockign potential the same? coz can get GXE in KL, not sure bout FXE.

well.. i only have prob with locked chip is the NB freq is limited to HTT..
because i dont keep my setting for daily usage.. so if clock ram..only ram.. CPU, only CPU.. i dont need a OCed system running since i dont games, yet any other demanding task..

i found that sometimes if using higher NB freq, i can make an unstable ram clock stable.. that is why sometimes i have to make the nb freq >2.7ghz in order to obtain some ram clock.. just i dont have opportunity to run it at >3ghz

3ghz NB freq just pointless i'd say.. i just testing how high i can get..and yes got believe that this is the way to "burn-in" the IMC.. (but i guess im wrong.. this chip can clock IMC quite well but still cant clock ram well)

ermm... 890gxe is a matx board, i'm pretty sure it packs a punch in oc just like others, but usin matx board as main rig is abit... ermm... i dunno how to explain...

do u mean high htt is limitin d mileage of nb freq? never think of it, we need someone w/ be chip to very this for us...

undoubtedly regor is good in nb freq oc, d ability of takin more volt w/o producin much heat (if compared to deneb) make it a suitable chip for ram stressin, all that missin is d unlocked multi. hopefully amd will come out w/ a chip w/ imc as gud as thuban, unlocked multi & in dual core flavor for poor ram testers like us, well... i'm thinkin/askin too much again...

Hahahaha imagine using m-atx mobo in big badass case like HAF-X

Hi friends,

Want some advise on overclocking my AMD processor.

I am having some fun on my AMD sempron 140 unlock to 2 cores.

My specs :-
MSI 785GTM-E45
AMD Sempron 140 (Unlock to AMD Athlon II X2 4400e @ 1.380 vcore stock)
Corsair Dominator 2x1GB 1066MHz

My problem : Can't get past 4GHz to boot into Windows XP.

What I did so far :-
1.) Test my processor's maximum CPU FSB frequency. Found out 412 is the limit.

2.) Tried overclocking with highest multiplier 13.5 @ FSB 297 ~4GHz. Can POST successfully but do not want to boot into Windows. Anything lower than 4GHz can go into Windows. After that tried upping vcore step by step (almost reach 1.5), still do not boot into Windows XP. CPU-NB and HTT at the same frequency not more than 1800.

3) Lower the multiplier, increase the FSB. Once it hits 4GHz, can POST successfully but cannot boot into Windows XP. CPU-NB and HTT at the same frequency not more than 1800.

4.) Tried going over 4GHz (like ~4.1GHz, ~4.2GHz), can POST successfully but stubborn do not want to boot in Windows XP.

5.) Tried adjusting RAM timings, CPU-NB, HTT and voltages, still cannot boot into windows XP..

Additional information, Prime95 stable :-
1.) 14 hours FSB@296x13.5, Default vcore after unlocking: 1.380
2.) 12 hours FSB@319x12.5, Default vcore after unlocking: 1.380

Now I am stuck, want some advice where to tweak somemore to cross the 4GHz mark.

Any sifus out there, can advise? or did I reach the limit of this CPU?

This maybe sounds weird to u but did u tried upping ur ram volt a bit? maybe up to 1.6v ker
I donno why but i find that in oc'ing AthlonII & PhenomII sometimes u need to up the ram volt a lil bit even tho ur not oc'ing the ram itself, its kinda like the ram is straving for volt
Try to use a mix of upping cpu volt & cpu-nb volt also, i also find u can shave a bit more volt from the cpu volt using it

BTW what's ur max oc on the chip so far? Bro kuntawakaw is using the same cpu as u maybe he can shed a light on ur predicament

in bios is stated 1.42v. i have not tried lower. VID for this chip is 1.325v, but will try during weekend and run prime95 to test stability.
