voltage the lowest it can do? well.. 955 i fogot already plus older deneb perform different, true x4 perform diff and also unlocked x4 also diff..

but somehow i have a feeling that 3.6ghz is doable with stock vcore..but ur vcore not that high either..to gain 3.8ghz, i think <1.45v..

that winova u bought from hope-remember right? mine is good woh.. try tweak more..
*
yeah mine is stock @ 3.6Ghz...
yeah i bought from him...
however mine not sure is i'm noob or it's no good...
can giv some of your RAM speed and timing n volt?
tried to get highest speed @ around 1800 C9 oni... 1.7V

Just giving some idea...
You just migrated to DDR3 platfrom rite?
Did u memtest your rams before beginning any OC? at stock?

Cz last month i got my new rams but apparently they are faulty right out of the box...
I didn't memtest it and used it, thus many crashed n BSOD...

credit to ah_khoo, cz he mentioned that he always memtest before entering OS...

Hey. I have never thought of that. How do you do memtest. At the start of Bios? Or using software?
Awesome man thumbup.gif  That's what I'm talking about. How did you do that? And with 1.344v sumore shocking.gif

You have my out most respect notworthy.gif

Btw, I stopped playing with Multiplier and tweak the FSB.

I'm now running 212FSB with Multiplier at 17 which gives about 3604Mhz.

I clocked my VCore to 1.425 to give it more stability, maybe lower it when if it works.

My HT link now is at 2120Mhz and my ram clock change to 706Mhz.

Will Prime it and see whether it will survive 5 mins tongue.gif
*
I memtest at the beginning of the bios...

eh ur settings is totally the same v mine... except my vcore needed is 1.4V
HT link i'm a multiplier lower n my cpu-nb frequency is @ around 2.5k...
ram divider same, while doing 7-10-8-24...

edit: haven't try to underclock vcore like kunta did... only 1 week on my deneb... hehe...

The thing is, electronic components don;t normally have wear and tear like mechanical components. But I suppose it has something similar though. Normally electronic components will fail completely if its time.

And you're lucky if your PC suddenly shutdown or unable to boot. It means that the PSU fail safe is working and it kept your other PC components from being damaged. Cheers to Enlight rclxms.gif
Do you still have the old Enlight you mentioned, I'm sure it can be repaired.
Well, given their price I'm would be really really surprised if they give cheapo components lorr. They HAD to give extra large capacitors and extra powerful transformer and extra quality IC's if they want to supply more power to the PC.

*
yes sometimes, the memory divider just don't work, some times the cpu multiplier just don't work...
i'm not sure though... but i think i do experience both of them when i had a non BE proc... correct me if i'm wrong... haha....

yes my timing is odd but i wanted to try run them @ CAS 7, so i had to do that... Memtest paseed anyway...
NB freq is trying to compensate the ram's not so tight timing....
from what I read and if i rmb correctly those sifus here mentioned CPU-NB optimally shud be kept <=2600...

Anyway saw your debate on the PSU,
which I'm curious to know bout this silverstone i'm using...
just wanna ask what can u c from the pictures below...

I see I see..thanks for the info bro. By tight timing you mean 7-7-7-10 or 10-10-10-20?

I'm setting my ram at 9-10-9-25 @ 1410Mhz. It pass the first round of Memtest so it should be fine i guess. Normally u Memtest the RAM timing to determine the stability?
tighter means smaller numbers... smile.gif
yes i memtest to check for rams error...

yeah heat is quite a big factor in OC...
get my used cooler... Sunbeam CoreContactFreezer
@3.6Ghz, full load only 55 degree...
it's a very hot afternoon...
very decent for OCer...
nonid mod ur casing... biggrin.gif

Latest RAM Timing.

8-9-8-23-30 @ 1.6v  /  FSB:DRAM = 3:10

MemTest pass 1 round. No error found.

Prime for 15 minutes. 2 sessions. Success.

Looks like OK. But is tight timing faster or slower?  So far I'm quite satisfied with my current clock and configuration biggrin.gif
Do you think its possible to push 3.8Ghz with this RAM timing? Now running stable at 3.6Ghz nod.gif 

Have modded my casing by adding another 12cm intake fan. Have to take out 3 DVD Bays to do that. Looks ugly but it works.
Temperature is lower by 8c thumbup.gif
*
i did the same as well...
but my casing is meshed one so i can hide it at the back... it did help in air flow... thumbup.gif

Yea, should have done that a long time ago..the best part is, I'm only using double-side tape to secure my fan onto the DVD-Rom bay thumbup.gif 

I'm gonna get a good 8cm fan for my exhaust next. The one I'm using now is so freaking weak. Totally cannot feel any air coming out.

dun get 8cm fan... get 12cm fan... brows.gif

Hehe. HAF 912 not big enough. I actually like 922 alot of the design is a bit outdated, interior is not black and the side transparency is not big enough. Waiting for a replacement for it drool.gif
Haiz..I don't think I can runt my 955BE at 4.0Ghz. At 3.74Ghz the temp at full load is nearing 55c, almost hit the heat wall edi.

Btw, 1 noob question, did you guys enable or disable AMD Cool n Quiet while OC or Priming? I always leave it on..

if ur oc stable v CnQ on then shud be no issue...

how much is the range of safe Vimc?
is it from stock-1.45v?

When running cinebench,

blue screen is NB vid/IMC memory related, the black screen is core clocks/cpu voltage related and the just crash/dissapear from desktop is temp related………….”


so yeah BSOD is related to ram n IMC

let say older deneb x2 can do 3.1ghz to 3.6ghz with stock vcore
regor is like 2.7ghz > 3.3ghz with stock vcore

for thuban, 1.4 is >3.8ghz already and 4ghz possible..
