voltage tweakin in windows usin turbo-v, i must admit this tool is one of d sellin points of asus. too bad voltage/temp monitorin tool is not integrated together w/ it, else it's gonna be one hell of a tweakin tool...

as u wish sir... but somehow d imc is not as strong as d previous 1055t, 2k @ 8-9-8 can't be prime stable no matter what...


*u gotta thank me for this, it's been few days that i suffered from bad flu & sore throat (even on mc today & tmr). this is done just for u...

1055t (1024cpaw) | 1090t (1021epmw)
good in ram clocking (2k @ 8-9-8/7-10-7) | average ram clocking (2k @ 8-10-8)
weaker imc freq clocking (2.8~2.9k for 24/7) | decent imc freq clocking (3k for 24/7)
average cpu freq (4GHz w/ 1.44v) | decent cpu freq (4GHz w/ 1.392v)

initially i thought half multi needs lower volt for imc freq @ 3k (given d past experience in 939 where half multi causes ram to run @ lower freq > non-detectable by cpu-z iirc), but there's nothing wrong after i tried with full multi. i never run imc freq @ 3k w/ < 1.3v, pardon me if i felt a 'lil bit excited.


come2 bro, join d BE club... bak kate pepatah, "once u gone black u never look back"...

thx sir.

is this a pair of kvr1333?

3.8GHz w/ < 1.5v some more runnin 3.2k nb freq? i'd say job well done...

i won't generalize but from d thuban oc charts in xs, there's no 1090t entry with ram @ > 2k. it could be d case that those guys are mostly on hyper which really hard to get pass 2k mark w/ super tight timing (6-6-6 or slightly lax). we'll see how d ram fare @ > 2k under this chip, i'm not puttin high hope but rest assured i'll try my very best (even i'm down w/ bad flu & cough).

should i be d 1st w/ 2k ram (thou d timing is lame... )???



come to think of it, what BE owner really need is just a pair of hyper...

d results are just so so only bro... nothing spectacular.

what kinda 2d bechies ur lookin for? here's a sp32m for u bro... pardon d bloated os, no tweak applied...



come2 bro, join d amd bandwagon & we'll give u some AMD loves...

u can always give d address bro, but i only have ta690g + x2 4400 in my house, d thuban rig belong to my fren a.k.a neighbor...

yup, d capability of ram clockin on d previous 1055 is superb if compared to this 1090. can't really say 1090 not doin as gud in ram clockin coz i've seen great mileage on 1090, some more these were done on a 770 board only... well, it's either luck or user problem (in my case) i guess...

Contoh 1090 ganas

there's no skill involved on what i managed with 1055, it was all pure luck only... what i did were to try diff combination w/ diff volt, as simple as that.

hyper cost arms & legs, premium psc stick not cheap either... sigh... it's time for some micron loves? sadly crucial ballistix are not available easily, they are decent clocker from what i read. dilemma... who want my eco...

no, i think they are available on nvdia chipset only bro...

gotta ask d "black & red mobo" gang ledi, we cheapskate mobo users got vanila type of bios only...

This post has been edited by ah_khoo: Oct 27 2010, 07:05 PM

it's more on mobo/chip capability... even a venice can do > 300 w/o sweat provided d combo is rite. iirc, our sir antonio did 400 usin venice...

other than their blade/reaper/flex series, d rest are so so only to me...

given d volt he used back then, i suppose they're d9...

finally managed to break d 7 points barrier... yey!!!

d volt is higher during load bro, so i can't really claim d chip needs 1.46v for a 4.25GHz cinebench stable. still no time to oc ya rig ah bro? i want.... chiv...

what chip u got there bro? 1055t? 3.9xGHz considered decent ledi, not like our daily task need at least 4GHz rite?

yup, i was referrin to d pair he used back then, given d volt he pumped, i'm pretty sure d sticks are runnin on d9, just like d crucial value 1333 cas9 i had b4.

bro, courier it to me pls...

joke aside why not u tried it out yaself bro, i supposed they're on relabeled chippies, if luck is with u, u mite got a pair of eco there... (i pry off my eco b4, they are gskill relabeled chip).

nb @ 3.3GHz is awesome bro, what's d imc volt needed for pi32m/cinebench stable?

exactly bro, turbo core is like opposite of cnq to me, or i'm just too reluctant to learn new technology. i'm a old skool tweaker...

yeah, but asus turbo unlocker is able to boost all cores by 500MHz instead of 3 only iirc. i'd rather run oc'ed speed w/ cnq enabled, at least i know d volt i pumped is suffice. that's just me thou...

i have no idea bro, i oc d old skool way so this turbo thingy is something new to me...

woot... that's a strong imc there bro... how bout ram mileage? u still have ya gkill pi rite? can do me a favor? pls try whether 1600 @ 6-7-6/6-8-6 & 2k @ 7-9-7 doable. initially i was thinkin of replacin d eco w/ pi 1600, but now there's somethin new on my mind...

thinkin of downgradin d 1090 to 1055 again, either this 1090 really sucks in ram clockin or i need a pair of higher end ram. but i dun have budget for new ram becoz new stuff (2nd hand as usual ) are comin in...

i'd say save d RM80 & upgrade some other things bro, like d chip...

joke aside, hyper 212+ is gud for stock/litely oc'ed thuban (3.5GHz below mebe), any higher it mite have problem copin w/ d heat...

not a taiko nor sifu, but i reckon i can render 'lil help here.

things with x3 720:
- max out around 3.7GHz 1.4~1.5v (for 3 cores)
- imc freq for 24/7 is around 2.5GHz (+/- 100MHz)
- ram mileage really depend on imc & ram

u can leave d ram freq untouched by just oc usin cpu multi, but u'll get bored easily by doin so. if ur comfy w/ ram tweakin, u can always have a go. elite 1333 aint good clocker but i think 1600 @ cas8/9 shouldn't be a problem.

have fun then...

i want SGD100 top up just for d sake of my project LEO bro... on?

i though u have noctua, itu kira HSF mahal lah tu... gonna do a fire sale just for d upcomin stuff...

can't really say 770 is not so gud, remember d 1090 oc i posted days b4? it was done on giga 770. it should be ram/imc limitation which hold u back, not d board imo.

some elite 1600 here are on psc chippies, so it's really down to luck whether one will get those golden batch. those psc sticks can do as gud or even better than my eco 1333...

dun compare others w/ a3+ lah, a3+ was one hell of a board (it could be d case that d board is "laxer" than others, but nonetheless, it's still one great value board), if it's build by giga, d board can simply put most 790fx boards out there to shame. while it's no surprise that 8xx series board offer better ram mileage on ram, *chew from xs mentioned this b4...

I wouldn't go for tr ven x if i were u. Would rather top up a 'lil to get a silver arrow or noctua d14. Ven x is over rated for amd platform, it's just a tad better than true while w monster like silver arrow or d14, u'll get at least 4'c lower temp. I was kinda regret i took ven x over silver arrow just for d sake of look n fan holder. To me, it's like no upgrade at all changin from true spirit to ven x. Gotta pay for d fan golders some more.. duh!

vcore not enuf always lead to restart/improper shutdown...

i have a suggestion bro, use d 5770 on htpc then buy a 6850/70 for ya main rig...

it depends much on how gud is d imc bro, some imc do great on ram but so so in imc freq, some are d other way round while very few do great on both. in general, 2k on ram w/ thuban still doable (7xx board) provided ya imc is good in ram clockin, but it must be done on a decent board which i think u have one with u.

go go go bro... if u ask me to squeeze out decent benchies within a day it's as gud as askin me to go war w/o any preparation... i'm very slowpoke when it comes to tweakin...

corrected sir...

nicely done bro, this is d 1st time is see our lads dis cpu score > 10k... job well done...

d most i can squeeze outta my poor chip is 8k @ 4.25/4.3GHz only...

i lagi malu leh bro... 3850cf really can't make it... but very soon... there'll be a minor change...

as for d ram, what's d setting that give u tonnes of errors bro? if 1600 @ cas8 oso got problem then courier pos lambat it to me ledi... who know's u'll receive eco 1333 in return???

seriously, u need a 890fx bro... ur hard core so 7xx series should be history for u by now... time to CHIV?

This post has been edited by ah_khoo: Nov 4 2010, 10:37 AM

hmmm... ram degradin? if so u better kill d ram, who knows u can get a pair of geil evo 2 in return... muahahahaha....

joke aside, vro verdict should change to 890fx ledi, it's been a while since he last upgraded his board...

how much sir??? btw, it's too late now coz i've bought a pair "crippled" card...



had a one nite stand w/ something & revert back to 3850 now...

veli gud in tweakin my sys? com' on, anyone of u is better than me, me just do trials & errors only, anyone w/ time & appropriate hw can do that...

why not? even a lemon chip can overclock. what differ from chip to chip is d mileage. how? just raise d cpu multiplier/htt will do (sounds ezy enuf? ). u need either onboard/discrete gfx. if u can afford a 1090t, i doubt u can't afford at least a low mid~mid range card. usually onbaord gfx (if enabled) will slightly hinder d mileage of ya chip.

there're guides provided in 1st page, have a gud read ups. i'm pretty sure ppl around here can help provided ur not askin to be spoon fed.

timing wise? 1600MHz w/ 1.8v? sounds like d9 to me... if tight timing still ok, but if cas 8 then it's abit disappointin...
