I think thats about it, d ceiling is almost there i couldnt run it any higher.

I bought it in sg bro, patriot is kinda rare brand in my so i think its quite hard to get. Even in sg their ram are quite rare. Best bet is goin for gskill but need to dive deep in search for particular model which can clock decently. Mebe master owi can shed some lights on this.

came across this link @ XS, very informative on ram ICs:

overclocked my phenom ii x3 710 from 2.6ghz to 3.65ghz,

still bottlenecking my gpu performance....

when dota 2 the cpu still running in between 80% to 90%...

it's time to upgrade cpu, wanna upgrade to fx8350, but seriously lack of $$...

Whoa...that's the kind of thread I wanted to find.

What GPU u got there?

asus r9 280x

Time to upgrade your processor then.

have u tried unlockin d chip (provided ya mobo support core unlcokin)??? phenom x3 is barely enuf for gaming nowadays...

glad it helps bro thou for ya case it's not AMD related...

btw, my mamba is on sale...

Asus M5A97 R2.0 don't have Core Unlocker....

too bad all r2.0 boards had that feature removed...

if ur considerin movin to fx, can give fx6 a try if fx8 is abit pricey. make sure u go for vishera instead of bulldozer, better mileage & power consumption.

Funny thing i found moving from a Phenom X6 to FX 8series is that some menial task are quicker.. lol..
Like i notice i get better through output speed from my USB3.0 portable hdd than when i was using the phenom.. lol..
Donno if its real or just maybe a placebo effect on my part..

not sure bout fx but with apu higher clock does contribute to higher SSD r/w speed, so i guess same can be applied in this case? FX8 is significantly higher in clock speed thou one might need to factor in d diff in architecture, & AM3+ actually offers slower IPC (if compared clock-to-clock to Deneb) in some applications. i'll take vishera anyday over deneb thou, more fun with cpu clock as well as ram mileage.

pardon d low imc & ram clock... can't remember i had such ok chip back then. could be less stress @ imc & ram made d chip consume less volt for 3.8GHz.

after long time with intel.. return to amd..


5.0ghz on cheapo FX proc...

woot, great job there sir...

miss d figures & d ram mileage of bd/pd already...


1st time managed to prime stable a deneb @ 4GHz w/o insane volt...

hello guys. Need help from you guys to help me achieve stable 4.0

my spec
phenom x6 1090t
asus crosshair iv formula

currently only able to achieve 3.8 ghz (16*238) and any more than 3.8 my pc wont boot. I cant set the voltage because it only have the offset voltage setting.

try multi oc 1st aka 19 * 200. reason is there are too many factor mite cause the instability when u involve htt oc, ram freq & timing, nb freq, & etc.

as for voltage, u can change the vcore setting to manual or fixed. never a fans of offset setup.

Hello everyone that might be reading this because I posted this

Wow is overclocking scene in here almost dead? Last post 2 bulan, last post 1 tahun lepas. Manng how different it is now.... :sad:

Anyway just wanted to say hi to AMD kakis coz long time no post here

Seems like it eh. Overclocking requires great use of time and perhaps not many have the time to do that.
Plus, many still waiting for Zen i guess

Wow, really N years ago since I come in here *Phenom era here*

Hahahaha.... All hail Zen
