well thats what i had in mind at first ... i guess need to wait for a bit more time then will look for a more suitable 8** series mobo ... thanx bro ah_khoo me so newbie la

its true what ah khoo and bang oltromen said...lack of umpphh...

i feel lucky with my GD70 and it serve me well...if only i have extra moolahh...sure will go for higher series...

790FX is quit harsh in ram clocking...compare to 8 series mobo...they act flawlessly...

last time i encounter this prob... my solution is to increase a bit the nb volt for stability because the chipset r fully utilize when installing the gc and oc stuff.. i noticed when i used mid range / high end gc the chipset will be a bit hotter (even using passive cooler or improve the ventilation on it) just my experience

i think i tried increasing the NB volt, my default setup is 1.2v for the NB.
Last night i tried increase my NB Freq from 2000 to 2200 and the windows cannot load lol...
How much increment did you put on your NB volt? hmm maybe i should try increasing the NB volt and the vcore also..
So frustrating, the bsod is really getting on my nerves lol..

@ bro cloud: the bsod that i kept getting much the same as when i tried to oc it with my previous g.card and old heatsink.
prolly i'm sure its not the g.card driver issue, cos i did uninstalled the Ati Radeon driver b4 i installed my Geforce in.
i afraid my cpu kong or something

last time with 3.9ghz setting have u run prime test on it? is it really stable? nb frequency also sometime vital fot system stability.. i think u should back to zero tried to find the most stable cpu and nb frequency to troubleshoot the problem.. 3.8ghz is enough for daily use i think

here some ref for u : http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1003744

Please did u tried cooling down ur pwm's & mosfet's when u oc? Oc'ing ur 125W cpu with a 4+1 phase mobo does put quite a huge load on them..
Last time i put a 80mm fan on top of my pwm area to keep it cool on a pwmsink'less mobo

some more running 3.9ghz... later fried ur mofset dont end like me old time lol

q1. what was d previous gfx used?
q2. 3.9GHz setup which gave u bsod is d same (ram freq & timing, nb freq & all voltages) as previous setup?
q3. is there any frequent voltage fluctuation during full load?

For a start, u can try 240 * 15, divider @ 1333, timing @ 7-8-7/8-8-8, votl @ 1.65~1.7v, nb freq @ 2400, imc volt @ 1.25v. if evrything goes well, proceed with higher cpu multi.


mind not d coretemp coz even they're givin normal temp but infact those are inaccurate readin. i'll take cpu temp anytime for thuban coz d so called core temp are too good to be true. bios update mite help.

x nak msi...

joke aside, gd70 was & is still one hell of a board.
yeker bro, newbie2 nanti kuar 4.5GHz wprime result...

go ahsos if u can afford bro, they did pretty well this time (8** series), other than d high price tag (CHIV) & vdrop/overvolt issue, i have no complaint bout 'em.

but yet ur doin great w/ ya bdbg... salute2...

Well last time with 3.9ghz setting i ran prime95 once only and it was running okay(for me if playing games can last 2-3 days w/o any issue,consider
stable enuff for me hehe) but at the moment, when i ran Wow, for couple min it will become bsod.
Also at 4.0ghz setting, ran CoD Black Ops for 40 mins smoothly and then bsod.
I cant remember my original BIOS setting for the 3.9ghz setting cos when in installing my new heatsink and gc,my hdd suddenly cant detect.
So i reload back the default setting for the Bios and realize that i didnt note down the overclocking settings on it /silly me


@ cloudwan: i didnt put any cooling on the pwm or mofset on my 3.9ghz setting.How to do that?

@ ah_khoo:
1)My previous gfx is Sapphire Toxic HD 4850 512mb.
2)I think it's the same settings as previous 3.9ghz, cos i accidentally reload back my BIOs settings to default.
3)I'm not sure about that, forgive my noobness

u mean FSB 240 * 15 divider? I thought Black Edition doesnt need to adjust the FSB on it?

what psu u using? u can applied 3rd party ramsink or can diy any heatsink but make sure dont use doublesided tape use thermal tape.. last time moderno got selling 3m brand

Yeahhh tokan hardware suda keluar

Anyway athlonmax i really believe u can go lower volt at 3.8ghz, here's a SS of my old dumbo oc on my old 955:



I lost my old pic of how but we hang a small fan above this part of ur mobo, its our old way of doing things

My previous PSU was cooler master 550w only, the new one is cooler master GX 650W 80 plus.

Even tho a black edition, the best way to oc a cpu is to play a combination of multi & fsb to get ur desired speed, how i miss using a BE

hahah....suddently remember ur hubBE BE a meant to be oc with variable option and setting

Is that a Gigabyte mobo u posting there? looks similar to my mobo hehe..

I think with stock vcore voltage is enuff to up to 3.8ghz, from the SS of yours u only increase the multiplier, exactly as my previous
setup hehe..
I will try again later when im back from work tonite.
Thanks for all the replies guys /love

lucky for u ...mine b50 require 1.43 for 3.7ghz last time... good luck bro

Yup that was my old MA770T-UD3P, altho color the same but its phase is 8+2, more suitable to play2 with high TDP cpu..
That was my old oc, that time just wanna test my cpu, play2 with multi 1st, then play2 with other settings plak, kire noob oc tuh

ahh i see, seems like i salah beli mobo lah, should have get the phase 8+2 design
If still cannot do, i'm contemplating of getting new CPU lol Phenom II X6 maybe...

hmm... from red to green... usually this spells trouble... if @ stock clock (cpu + ram + nb) still got problem most likely driver issue.

voltage fluctation, as in +12v rail/vcore went up & down frequently especially on load. if this happen, it's d sign that psu lacks d punch i think. (otai pls correct me if i'm wrong)...

yup, u can always play2 with htt (or better known as fsb) + multi in amd oc, multi oc alone is kinda boring + mite not able to fully maximize d potential of all component (cpu, ram + nb freq).

ape tokan2 bro, my just a retirin noob...

commercial time...

Yup, read that the GX 650W has a few flukes in its performance, ripple etc..
