Hey guys!

Saw the linkback on my blog, and decided to come register at your forum.

Thanks for checking out my stuff. Here's a recent article I did overclocking my Phenom II 1090T X6 under dry ice. There is also a video of the run!

Thanks man! I have a lot of stuff on my blog too that you might like.

I am an AMD guy I must admit. Intel performs better at the same clocks....but having virtually no walls when extreme cooling Phenom II is enticing. I like the underdog And I also love gigabyte boards. Very sturdy, and do the best under extreme conditions.
Mostly everything is on my blog
Going to get into some liquid nitrogen soon!


Thanks man! Glad they found their way here. Looks like a good community.

Thanks man. My board is actually not a new rev. Rev 2.0 UD5. To get 2000MHz+ on on the UD7 you need rev 2.1 which is odd...
Yeah they are great sticks but there are better out there. I need a set that will do 6-6-6 @ 1800MHz

Yep. Chew was actually kind of confused that the rev 2.0 of the UD5 would clock better than the Rev 2.0 UD7 when I told him.

Yeah if I could find some hypers then the game is on

Also wanted to share this with you guys. Found this contest and thought some of you guys would wanna enter.

ud5 clocks ram better than older rev ud7? hmm... logically, it shouldn't be this way...

where r u located mate? sadly super talent is not easily available in our region, we can only place our hopes on adata 1866 & dom gt rev 2.x which d latter bein better clocker from what i remember.

thanks for sharing...

i got something to share here too... a contest @ vrz...

AMD Wprime 32M Contest! Win Radeon HD 6800 Series and more!

i'm not really good in benchin but heck, no harm tryin rite...

p/s: anyone who win d contest due to this notice must donate d ntuc vouchers won to me so that i can spend 'em for my grocery...

Thats what I said.... it didn't make much sense. But it worked all the same. So I'm having fun with high ram speeds on this board. I'm in Canada, so sadly its hard to find good ram around here too... although I could order from new egg

Ram OCing really depends on the type of ram you have. I dont really have any other tweaks than what I have posted in my guide. Just get a feel for your memory and try some stuff out.

Canada still gets crappier prices and less choice of hardware then the states though. But it is pretty accessible if you know where to shop.

Giga tends to work great with benchmarking and ram overclocking (the high end ones, I used to have 790FX, and now this 890FXA) THey work excellent for what I do.

And here's something I did last night:

http://slappablog.wordpress.com/2010/11/27...-stock-cooling/

Thought my board died tonight. Eventually got it back up and running and chew* inspired me to do a 3DMark06 run on the stock cooler. Here it is:



As you can see this is on the stock AMD cooler only.



And here is my 3DMark06 result

Another run on 8C ambient

Thanks man. Well it is a pretty cool temperature...which nets the advantage It gets even colder in Canada too. One day I will overclock on -25C

Yeah 06 stresses the cpu pretty hard. I can probably do 4500MHz with a bit more voltage.
Canada is better living standard wise than the states, but LN2 and dry ice is expensive here

Yeah this chip is pretty decent. I had a dream last night that I picked out a golden chip (week 21or week 15 chip) haha

Not too sure, i've seen other chips doing way better on higher temps too.

mine is 1018EPAW

Sometimes you get variations, but some from week 21 and week 15 are really good that i've seen

Hey guys

Taking advantage of winter, I just broke 5GHz with cold air on my 1090T.

Enjoy

5GHz Core #1, 3000NB, 2000MHz 7-9-6 Ram

Thanks, I am privileged to live in a country that sees winter. Sometimes we get -25C temps.

Thanks dude. It's just another average retail chip I assure you. Remember this took -4C temps on the cpu which need -15C ambients.

Ahh I know Flank3r. We don't really compete although me and him do similar work and produce good results

http://slappablog.wordpress.com/2010/12/09...90t-890fxa-ud5/

I was really surprised to see what these lovely sticks did today. This is the Mushkin Ridgeback 1600MHz 6-8-6-24 kit. On AMD, it is extremely difficult to run any ram above 2000MHz. Well today I broke a personal record and clocked these sticks all the way up to 2240MHz 8-10-6-15-1T. I used my trusty Gigabyte 890FXA-UD5 & Phenom II X6 1090T Setup.

I did not expect these results at all, actually I did not expect my IMC to allow speeds this high. Turns out I have a great hardware combination. When I was in the BIOS the speeds just kept going up and up. I eventually tightened the timings down to CAS8...which I thought was amazing for a frequency of 2240MHz.

PS, Video should be up and live in 25 min

Playing around with a delidded 740, cracked core, dead. :mad:

Nah you can lap a die fine. This chip died from a pressure crack from mounting a cooler too tight.

I'm loving these 555's

Thanks man

I wouldn't call myself an OC master , but I'm always ready to help anyone.

Thank you all. Heres what I did the other night,

Put my 555 X2 on dry ice:
