I suggest skip the current BD and wait for Enhanced BD in 2012 or next gen BD, as Ivy Bridge coming soon by Intel

Most important thing is they should fix their power consumption at OC levels, it is too high....thanks to its 2 Billion transistors

Agree with you, to say its a total failure isn't really correct, coz from most of the benchmark it seems when mostly heavily threaded it does excels almost on par with 2600k but alas its single threaded & IPC is the biggest weakness.. demmm.. 
Hmmm figuring maybe skipping this generation of BD, maybe wait for piledriver later on.. still if hands too itchy maybe wanna test ther FX4xxx, bwahahahaha
Just love their ram bandwidth & ram oc, dual channel 1600mhz already on par with tri-channel 1066mhz..

What is the best AMD AM3 processor to upgrade to with good overclocking capability?
Currently using AMD 4200+ from my old desktop overclocked it by 200 mhz only.

thanks

thanks for your reply bro    when i try boot into bios i see my temp is like 50 degree o.O is this more accurate than the software - coretemp?

hey bro here the screenshot. After restarting my computer now it is working. It shows 30+ degree also o.O also why my +12V at HWMONITOR shows 13.99V 

[attachmentid=2485402]

Temperatures look fine indeed. But it is too low for my expectation. I was thinking like 60 degree since I am only using Hyper TX3 tower fan =/

Thanks for your help bro, really appreciate it!

hurm, i retry again this morning, following this guide

it says to overclock Ram, followed by CPUNB, later on CPU. i just finish prime95 for sharp 3 hour. any other setting i change from this, will give me crash reboot, or core 3 n 4 worker stopped in prime95.

this is my current settings:


if i try again, by overclocking cpu first and lowered the ram freq, will i gain more clock for cpu n CPUNB? thanks for ur reply.

p/s:now my; vcore = 1.39v, vcpunb = 1.28v, Vdram = 1.66v

i have tried CPUNB 2360mhz, vcpunb till 1.5v, still crashreboot. (sometimes when enter windoes, it reboot, soemtimes crash till blendtest with prime95).
also tried CPU 3332mhz, vcore till 1.43v, same result as above.

guys.. i unlock and OC my proc. phenom II 555 to B55 @ 3.8ghz at 1.37v.
i only up my multiplier to x19 and bus speed at 200mhz. i stress it with OCCT for 10min. and its stable and gaming it for few hours also no crash at all. Is there a need for me to stress it again for 1-8 hours to test its stability?? 1st time OC here.. kinda noob..

i tried OC to 4.0ghz at 1.40v, it boots to windows without problem. but crash after few minutes of OCCT test. whats missing here? why cant i stable at 4.0ghz..

will post some screeny when i get back home.

spec:
Phenom II 555- now B55 3.8ghz
2 x 2gb team elite ram
MSI 990fxa-gd65
640gb hdd
gigabyte 6850 OC edition

ops,my bad, reuploaded.altho i change a bit, start overclocking from CPU>CPUNB>RAM.
comments. thanks.

woohooo! Now I get a few more options...

Let me have a look first - what am I looking at?

Added on January 1, 2012, 10:30 pmK8<->SB HT Speed 5x no need to touch
K8<->MCP HT Width v16 ^16 no need to touch also
DRAM Configuration => Set Memory Clock => Auto/Manual set to manual, should give more ram options

and a few others...

--> This 5x is not the multipler I need to decrease? Shows 1x 2x 3x 4x 5x

Sifu-sifu... I got a question here... OCing my 1100T with 880G chipset not a big matter right? why i just increase my multiplier x4 then my clock speed up 800mhz more, then when i play game it will lag than b4 oc?
& i heard someone said that amd oc is just for benchmarking... in real performance, after oc it will be lagger than non-oc... == help....

Prolimatech Samuel 17 with corsair fan.. Not hot at idle (38)... mayb play game then 68smtg...  not sure about overheating...
I heard it from one of my school teacher... yup... i just set it x4.... any problem?

Erm... not really understanding what u mean....

I think I get what you said... Actually I m downclocking my CPU right?
