Ooooohhhh naise clock there khoo... demmmmm me want to play with BD tooo

bai bai bai bro... fx6 should be quite affordable now...

Where meh? If RM500 below ken get i grab already, it still hovering around RM6xx, so sad

u can get FX8120 with that kinda price ledi bro...

go saiko some LYN gang to let go of his...

Bwahahahaha sked my CHIV plak kaput nanti, bwahahahah

Latest update:

Core speed - 230MHz (x11)
DDR2 - fixed at 667 (anything lower will produce worse benchmark results or same as no OC)
Voltage - 1.425V
PCI - Fixed at 100 (if I left it AUTO it will not post unless I reduce DDR speed - with this I can leave DDR speed unchanged)

With this, Super-PI shows further improvements.

Am I near the limit, or can I push further?

push htt bit by bit, increase vcore and/or vdimm should system goes unstable. iirc ddr2 can take up to 2.x (below 2.2v for 24/7), vcore wise am fine with 1.45v & below.

Can you clarify what you mean by HTT? Same as Bus Speed on CPU-Z? (sorry I kept mis- calling it core speed )

yup, htt aka fsb of old days.

For DDR2, I can only see:

ddr2 voltage control: +0.025V to +0.375V

What would the default value be, before any increase? I've changed it to +0.075

try ddr 533 and ht link x8.
see you can go further or not.

I did try ddr 533. With lower ddr, I can increase bus speed --but-- my benchmarks ran slower!
I don't have any other multipliers - just got two:

- cpu clock ratio 5 - 11x
- K8<->SB HT Speed 1 - 5x

have not played with the second yet - is it the same thing you are talking about?

oops, yes, this:
K8<->SB HT Speed 1 - 5x,
set to 4x.
see whether can push further or not.

Anyone can recommend me some RAMs?
Still winova or Gskill?
Dang im still using the 4x2GB ECO,
And just updated my M5A99x BIOS, it really "fixed" my pc
first i could not boot into windows 7 without leave my windows 7 dvd on my bluray drive.
and now Asus turbo evo can only auto oc my cpu to 3GHz, where old bios could go till 3.6GHz

I miss my old 890fxa
Still searching max HTT clock for this mobo
Gonna do the manual oc way since the turbo evo use too much voltage @ 3.6ghz

if new bios not workin well, downgrade to d old one bro.

need some poison on 8gb kit? there's a new kit on d block... Pls do not press this if your antibody is low

i can safely save this kit (ddr3 1866 cl9) can at least match winova while havin nicer look...

btw, manual oc ftw...

some ddr3 1600 @ 7-7-7 with <1.55v comin ya way guys (if luck is with me)...

edit: it was 7-8-7 instead, will try tighten it up tonite...

Flashed with the old one does not seems to help lol, duno what the f is going on with my harddisk or mobo
The boot menu does not even show up unless let my mobo detect the windows 7 dvd then it will switch to the real boot menu.
Tried with bootrec fix but no go
the last trick would be re install windows

Is it the Black one? damn chio
but the heat spreader seems too tall
i have 2x 25x120mm fan on the RAM slots above

Second question,
Is it safe to revert the CPU LLC ect to normal settings?
Those setting automatically rammed up to "extreme", and the voltage seems goes up 2 notch if cpu underload.
Pretty sure my cpu could run 3.7GHz at 1.325v when using ud7.

Really bro? Saving money nao... Any hints on what brand?
