waaaa... glad to see all d old otais makin a kambek...

i'm pretty sure sir soulfly will go for fm2, considerin how well fm1 did in mem oc.

hopefully fm2 will offfer mileage of BD while improve on mem oc & IPC...

u better not cheat my feelin bro... else i will rage...

congrats again for d promotion...

woot!!! i rikes this!!!! hmmm... battle of ram frequency (between d otais) will soon be ignited...

it's time for dato to start d compy perhaps bro...

ur using M5A88M-EVO bro?

if it maintains the overclockability of good old M4A88TD-V EVO while added with AM3+ compatibility, i'd say it's a great midrange oc board. love every single thing bout it when i owned it during Thuban era. From superb ram mileage (for being an 8xx series board) to solid BIOSes, u can't go wrong with this IMO. Good choice bro...

wooohoo... FX8120 in da house!!!

in warm up mode eh bro? give d chip some love...

D sad part of havin an 8 core chip is d temp bro. One really need above average wc to tame d heat @ high clocks. But apart of that, bd has been nothing but fun.

Where got, dun fitnah ok dafreak. Me use setok kooler oni like bro -pWs- u know...

Its ok to flash d bios to bd ready bios even ur usin older chips. Easiest way of update is either windows based or usin thumb drive in bios. Depends on which one ur more comfortable with.

While htt clockin is fun, it's better to stick with multi oc, especially at earlier stage where highest mileage of chip is being determined. Rest assured we will have decent results from bro -pWs- whose no stranger here. I learnt a lot from him n others back then.

it's true bro, i learned alot from u guys when i joined during am2 era. miss all d old legs liao...

back to topic, did u play with llc in bios? i find d settings on CPU & CPU-NB LLC can affect stability to certain extent.

ffffuuu... what rakus2? i'm a gentleman u know...

woot!!!

now who's rakus?

what mobo is that bro?

not really cheap for a lax timing 1600MHz rated kit, but well, d mileage & volt will make one forget d price tag...

could be heat bro... even @ 4.3GHz my neighbor havin problem to tame d heat...

LLC is either enable or disable only rite?

ofcourse there is, less core(s) mean less heat.

my practice back then was cpu = enable, cpu/nb = disable coz i remember readin chiv users mentioned bout huge voltage spike in vimc when cpu/nb llc enabled. but then, i'm just generalizin only thou. i did try to enable it but didn't afffect anything much so i just off it.

kinda sure it's heat issue bro. not a fans of AIO wc but if i were to go for it, i'd choose H100 personally. more headroom always better, u can say i'm bein kiasu thou...

960t unlocked successfully? congrats bro... may i know what board is that?

i hardly run benchies to know which is faster bro, i just prime most of d time. it's been a while since i last played with a thuban, now i only have a lousy x2 & an FX4 only.

weak unlocked core(s) i guess bro, 1.46v for 3.7GHz is d prove. imc not too good too, 1.35v for 2400MHz is kinda high.

i believe there are still rooms for u to do some volt shaving, not by big margin thou.

u need some ballistix love bro... sure no regret one, thou price wise it's slightly expensive if compared to gskill... or u can opt for winova 8gb kits, not bad too (if d chipset used are d same as d pair i've tested lah)

vcore kenot lower liao ah? kinda high for such clock bro.

not all, ripjaws x (lower end like 1333/1600) dont really clock well. if we are talkin bout good old ripjaws (non x) it's all diff story.

ic bro... i know ur a bzman...

from experience, thuban should be able to run 4GHz w/ 1.45v or below, NB varies from 2700~3000MHz with 1.25v~1.325v. i'd consider these setup as safe for 24/7.

lemme know if u need decent oc ram w/o causin holes in ya wallet... (see siggy)...

weak imc doesn't explain d need for high vcore bro, there could be 2 possibilities to me, one is chip, another could be d board.

batch plays an important factor here imo, batch are good, some are mediocre. this was d average chip i managed to unlock before:

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=Atta...post&id=1908112

prime blend test still d best imo.

not mediocre lah bro, just average, same goes to yas. if mediocre most likely can do stock only or lower.

yeah, it's time to move on to 9xx series, they tend to offer better ram mileage while require less volt. can't comment on cpu mileage but should be around d same or slightly better, depends on d board u use thou. so far, i'm a happy user of gd80 & chv, with d latter bein better in term of pwm coolin...


bro, what cooler ur usin? at that kinda clock, temp shouldn't be that high, something is wrong there.

like what dafreak said, i'd really like to know d imc volt. try to play with d llc for cpu & cpu-nb too to get d optimum voltage for both.

theoretically is like that but it's kinda hard for imc to go over 3k without pumpin lotsa volt. thuban is capable for 2100+ for 24/7, while imc wise 3k is d max i reckon > from experience.

ic see bro, but still too much leh... i think 12UP should be in d same leage as cogage TRUE spirit, i don't remember a 3.5GHz can cause such high temp... it's like a stock cooler liao...

vcore need to be shaved, on normal x6, 3.5GHz can be easily stabilized usin 1.3v +/- 0.2v. have no idea on zosma since i never play with one thou...

i don't really stick to certain formula sir, but i remember readin somewhere bout d formula posted by bro 8tvt, in xs iirc. usually i just run d max setup for imc, ram & clock with volt within safety range...
