yup. i dun use GC, use onboard graphic~

nvm la, oredi buy what.   goldfries oso use jetway brand what~

i was amazed when i tried this... nowhere near 1hour stable yet, will try my best to make it atleast 1hour stable... 

[attachmentid=1809618]

Tweak hard dude as u have a good nice setup...

You can get tons of tweak from unker and kunta...

Btw what ram u using now?

u wanna see d ram catches fire ah sir?   

mite try that as well so that they can turn itto a pair of flare... 
meh, trcd @ 10 is lame... but even i put 2.0v wont help @ 2.1k, so it's pointless askin for impossible thing bein possible... 

flare, ahsos & deneb/1090t on d way bro?   

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... 

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?

wah u guys so advance.. i don't have a chance to play around..
still using evo ar ah_khoo..

Thanks for replying bro.

Am using DDR2 1066MHz RAM, i have set it to 2.2V already.. not going to go any higher lol as the specs is 2.1V originally.. Am overclocking on an AM2+ motherboard..

highest OC is 3996MHz@1.380v that can load into Windows..
Higher than that cannot boot into windows but can POST normally/successfully. Heck I can even get to ~4.4GHz yesterday from BIOS but cannot boot into Windows XP. Feel like bashing the Windows already..

I tried upping the cpu volt & cpu-nb volts too.. it just stubborn don't want to boot into windows xp.. gah..

The main problem is cannot boot into Windows XP if my clockspeed is more than 4GHz.. I hope this is not one of the Windows XP limitation.. 

Any sifus, please advice 

Specs for my secondary rig :-
1.) MSI 785GTM-E45
2.) AMD Sempron 140 (Unlock to AMD Athlon II X2 4400e), cooled by Cocage MST-140 (Max temp during Prime95 is 45C, Idle 29C)
3.) Corsair Dominator 2x1GB 1066MHz DDR2

Anything else need to know?

My current RAM multiplier 1:1.66 sometimes 1:1.33, I try to keep my RAM MHz close to the specs. HTT and CPU-NB multiplier at x6, sometimes x5 if I go higher clockspeed.

I tried tighter RAM timings, cannot also. Tried looser RAM timings, cannot also.

My current max OC that CAN boot into Windows XP and do Prime 95 is as below :-
1.) 14 hours FSB@296x13.5, Default vcore after unlocking: 1.380
2.) 12 hours FSB@319x12.5, Default vcore after unlocking: 1.380

Thank you so much..

Bang oltromen...feel free to update the result into databse ya...many thanks mate...

nie yg x patut, bli chiv + x6 but runnin @ stock... kasi goreng itu hardware ma... 

arghhh.... okie, looks like d eco is destined to die on me... i'll try my bestest then... 

sms'ed u ledi regardin d hypers... 

any one knoe why my friend pc hang after unlocking 2 cores
BTW
he use PII X2 555BE

senior, i followed some of your settings, and bsoded.

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

so this is my current settings, please advise me ya!
ram voltage 1.65v
other settings should be auto

CPU NB voltage is VDDNB?
Set to 1.175v ok?

Normal version. Lowering by 2 steps?

cpu & cpu-nb llc are enabled or disabled? 

@ bro cloudwan:

where have u been lately bro? miss all ya spam ledi... 

cpu llc very good id say.. compared to other mobo that dont have it

but for cpu-nb..abit tricky.. it can be better or worse.. kekeke

i wonder why alot of ppl using this mobo eh? m4a77td? is this because of the HW Q&A crap recommendation?

if u buy 1090t, u must pair it with a great mobo..so id say not worth it if u seek for performance..
if u seek for fun, and ure an AMD fanboy, it worth it.. great IMC clock it can do   
kkekeke.. no offense bro..
that mobo ok actually for normal use..
i think very few of them actually using the HW they recommending.. sometimes wrong fact also.. that is why i called crap..kekeke
not all..but few..   

it depends on ya ram freq, for me, i'd go for max my ram can go w/ comfortable volt. then from there u can roughly know what htt to run for ya 24/7 setup. u got a be chip there, so there's no problem at all runnin high clock + high imc + ram freq... 
yeah, msi have limited choices on 8xx series especially on mid~highend part. but d 870a fusion power looks pretty yummy thou... 8+2 pwm + high quality mosfets...    but 4 pins +12v eps is... 

yup, those who can afford premium boards should have no problem buyin a 1090 (& vice versa) 

i want biostar too but d layout is a turn off for my x-fire + pcie sound card setup... 
u need an infra red thermal gun... 

cant understand fully.. u want to change ur thuban to bulldozer eh?kekek
if want quick solution..just get a 1090t tho..

ermmm... no bulldozer for me, leo platform would be my last amd platform. after this, it's time to save up for more important things like... erm... saving?   
ur like a cacing in my stomach bro... 

ok, here is my thought. although i'm relatively new in AMD. for MSI boards i tested so far for AMD, i'm not really happy with the memory clocking ability. perhaps the 800 series is not as good as MSI 790FX and i believe we (MSI Malaysia and me) all do agree with that. so far i haven't tested and ASUS/Gigabyte AMD mobos, too bad... no time. But for a side note, after testing loads of i5 based boards, Gigabyte H55M-USB3 stands out among all. hehe...

Master Khoo: if only you are here in Malaysia, i'll personally send the 1090T and MSI 870A Fuzion Power to your doorstep for testing!!
