Wow...Everything different now...imc more than 3k, gd70 killed by 6 cores, sb750 now lousy...

Dangg i miss playing with AMD n this thread....

unless i marry a royal princess, probably not...its marriage 'season' now

by the way Crosshair4 no one play??

Overclocking is bad for the components and will void your warranty...Unless you have spare cash to spend on another motherboard, another set of rams, a new processor just in case you fry ur current one, i suggest you dont overclock your PC....

Not only overclocking is dangerous, it also might cause other components such as hardisk or graphic card to be damaged..

Overclocking is like motoracing..U need tools and knowledge to run a race car..A race car is dangerous on the road but not on the track, just as road cars arent supposed to be driven like a racecar.. components on a race car is far more expensive compared to a road car and the same can be said for overclocking.. Do you have high quality hardware such as a good power supply, monitoring tools or even cooling?

Ur board: 870-G45 is not the most recommended board OC...it lacks most OC boards hardware, it even does have sinks for the VRM area...and for starters, thats not a good thing...

The only thing u can do, is raise the multiplier on the x2 550 BE...ada upto 0.2v to help stabilize...if u already reach 1.45v for the CPU, then better play safe since you will need better cooling to cool the processor..

Im probably coming back...so need advice from sifu here,

crosshair v vs ud7 vs (boards that is 990 apart from the ones unavailable locally)... Which suits me?

Ol timer probably understand when i say the above statement...

Thanks thanks... I hope can settle shift to AMD by end of this week...

But no x6 or x8 for me yet...ONLY USE 955BE...

Ahh yess...Sabertooth 990 right...

not many giga n msi fans nowadays yaa...

erkk...Bulldozer ain't looking fine yet these days...

any news of B2 coming out soon? or just wait for the next after Bulldozer?

I had some of AMD Phenom 2 store somewhere in my CPU collection box...time to dig out...

FX-4 looks nice but I think I'll probably fire up using PHII instead...X4 955 to be exact....

just pulled the trigger on Asus Sabertooth....difference was RM95 but what sold me was it has 8 SATA ports as opposed to CHv which is 7

Ffffuuu just got home and a bit tired, probably wont be assembling it tonite since room also a mess...probably tomorrow will transfer everything into the casing...

Btw, still waiting for the AMD Socket Bolt Thru from Thermalright....wanna use back TRUE...no money now to change new cooler...

After installing I quickly fired up and started to increase the memory speed to see where is the wall regarding my processor capabilities and found out that when I reach <1900mhz upon reboot it will be detected as 8GB, but as soon as >1900, only 1 dimm (4GB) is detected....change back so that the ram runs <1900, voila....dual channel 8GB...





Bios 0901, both dimms at slots 2 and 4, voltage for ram is 1.65v , CPU-NB 1.5v (nowadays 1.5v is red ) CPU Vcore is 1.425v

this run at 1800....



CPU v: 1.4
CPU-NB: 1.425
DRAM : 1.65v

Nice....I see you are on FX-8120...

Me on Deneb onie...so anything above 1750 is consider lucky already to get stable...

Looks nice this Zambezi....but I'd probably wait for piledriver...what I needed was when I shift was to have USB3 n SATA6...thats the reason I bought the Sabertooth...I have a couple of spares phenoms x2 and x4, so I thought, why not...hihihi

Finished 10 rounds of LinX at 1800 1672mhz CL9.....I'm starting to like 990FX

more than 1800Mhz ram speed (to be exact 1840) , i need to use nearly 1.5v CPU-NB to allow stability....

I probably will run at lesser ram speed so that I can push the core speed and CPU-NB speed...

Deneb's memory controller doesnt really play high Mhz...1800 is probably the limit....

thanks...but currently doing some testing regarding my 8GB (4GB x 2) kit...cheap and available locally....lets just imagine 1600 CL7 for now...

My previous microns is now sleeping....pity them 2GBs....

Yap...i've been browsing my old posts (deneb) era and found that in order to run 1600 i need to bump up the cpu-nb to achieve stability...the rams i have now is capable of 1866 cl9 1t on intel but arent able to get past 1840 cl9 2t on my new board n old deneb...

propus and rana or even might be better at running higher speeds iirc compared to deneb, which prefers the tightest timing possible....

i will continue to look for a sweetspot and will prime the hell out of it just for the lulz...

Huh??

64c on D14?? And I tot 63c on my TRUE during 3400 1.375v was adequate...wanted to change D14 but if also 4.0 64c, then might as well get H100

that is what I mean...

mine x4 oso 63c already on TRUE, if X6 sure reach higher than white paper specs...

nevermind....just run it as hot as it can stand before it dies...hihihihh
