Sorry to hear that. Did you install those Belkin surge protector?

Yeah, Sempron 140 for a dual core also worth it. But I think better spend another 100MYR or so. Just in case .

What the usual stability test , Prime 95, OCCT? any others. Thanks.

very lucky..
i bought 3 propus all turn out cant be locked.
one can be unlocked but wont able to boot into windows.. and died d

for me, ill use prime95..best so far

Hahahaha its ok bro just came back from home, kudos to TM for their prompt action in checking my net problem..
Apparently my modem all ok, kudos to my APC Surgeprotector it stop the lightning dead on its track but the consequences is that i need to look for a new surgeprotector
U can forget about belkin surgeprotector bro, from what i read got a lot of complaints from forumer's that it doesn't even work

I agree with u, sempron is gud but still if i had the fund i'd go with the X3 too

mitodna,

u just use single ram or double? how's the mushkin oc?

sad to hear that bro, i expect d lightin killed all so that u can ship me d chiv for house deco...

my koss avr always shorts d fuse, dunno how many fuse i've replaced ledi so far. as for lightin, there's hardly any near my place. if only my board can be killed by lightenin on d 1st day of my bonus...
i'd recommend mushkin ridgeback bro, bro Slappa did great with his...

why Mushkin? It was the cheapest at that time

i use single only, if I OC I don't dare to touch RAM, may be just OC CPU
should I OC the timing, will post the timing later tonight

Hi guys,
New to this overclocking thing, my current problem atm, my current rig as below:
Processor : AMD Phenom™ II X4 965 3.40GHz black edition C3 Deneb
Motherboard : GA-880GMA-UD2H
Ram : Mushkin PC1600 DDR3 2GB X 2 Silverline
Graphic card : ASUS ENGTX460 1GB GDDR5 TOP
PSU : CoolerMaster GX 650W
Heatsink : Hyper 212 Plus

Before i upgraded by video card to GeForce and my heatsink, i managed to OC my CPU to 3.9Ghz by changing the multiplier only.And after changed both parts, i go back to the 3.9Ghz again and the bsod came up everytime when i playing games or by doing nothing.

I tried everything by upping the vcore to 1.5v and change the multiplier to 20x(@ 4.0ghz) at normal HT link and default NB frequency, running okay around 1 hour and then baam bsod came out.

Tried to downclock the ram to 1333 and still same problem.
Any suggestion on how to improve my rig to reach around 3.8-4.0 range?

Thanks for reading.

Whats ur cpu temp b4 BSOD? Maybe its overheating prob?

@athlonmax

i donno whats wrong with changing cooler and gc will cause this..
u have compared the temp before and after change the cooler? possible not properly mounted / prob with TIM..

the temp if im not mistaken around 35-40c after upping it up to 4.0ghz.
i'm not sure it's a overheating problem because b4 this im using old heatsink
and it running perfectly on 3.9ghz range.I'm also baffled, i've already re-check the heatsink it's properly mounted and
all the fans running okay.

Right now im running with default clock speed 3.4ghz.What u guys should suggest, play around CPU NB Freq/and multiplier more?

@ kuntakaw: yeah its weird, i dunno why changing gc n heatsink would be a problem. hmmm so frustating lol

#Updated with SS
Right now running @ 3.8ghz with 2200 NB Freq and vcore 1.475v, just now tried with 1.450v but windows wont load.

Mind giving us the full setting u use?
What ur cpu-nb volt? Maybe play with mix of vcore & cpu-nb@imc volt to turn down the amount of volt u need to keep it stable at that speed..

Beside that, the mobo u choose is a 4+1 phase design, that may play into hand why u can't get stable easily, try putting an active cooling solution (eg: fan) to the mobo pwm's to keep it cool..
U don't want that mobo to die prematurely

do u try clean install ur video driver?..what gc u use before?..
most probably ur GC would cause the bsod..
btw,try clearing cmos?..

Hi there all,

new forumer here

im on AMD Phenom II x6 1090T BE mobo is Gigabyte 890PA-UD3H..

i did try to test out by configuring the BIOS 1st..

setting the processor from 3.6GHz to 3.8GHz

the problem is when i'm on windows & running the CoreTemp,
CoreTemp just displaying 0 celcius for all core...

what went wrong? what step that i missed out?

Thanx in advance

Were u on a different cpu b4 this? If yes try clearing ur cmos using the clear cmos button 1st.. Try see if that work

nope.. this is the new rig...

when im reverting back to previous configuration in the BIOS
the coreTemp temperature displayed normally...

in the meantime i'll try to google out what is the main problem...
try to find out the solution...

. i just want to make sure the temp is ok 1st & then
i try to proceed OC by test it out using Prime95..

Well got a forumer faced this prob b4, he was just upgrading his rig from a Athlon II to a Phenom II and he faced this prob..
Apparently the when he change his cpu, its like his mobo was still carrying bits and pieces info of his old cpu, thats why it reported the 0c temp..
A clear cmos later solves it for him Maybe the shop u purchase the mobo had previously tested the mobo with a different cpu, hence the residue info in bios
Just my 2 cents ah

ok thanx.. will try to check it out

guys i got a good deal on a msi 790fx mobo should i take it or should i wait for a 890fx mobo...

ermmm... imo u should get a mid range board like 870/880/890g instead of goin 790fx. not sayin 790fx aint gud (see how well bro verdict doin w his gd70) but upgradin from 790fx ddr2 to 790fx ddr3 just lack d... ummppphhh... ram oc is slightly easier on 8xx series too (if u get d right board lah)... my 2 cents bro...

Last time they were doing a clearance sales on the MSI 790FX IIANM, it was around RM3xx only
