gd70 @ 4+1, need to take extra precautions when u prime it usin high volts. actively cool d pwm can prevent shits happen.  nod.gif

i tot its 8+2 phase blink.gif because high end mobo from MSI

what i know is, higher number of phase/pwm can make more durablity when OC

it was a very good board back in its era.. 700series.
that time no thuban yet..

now, some ppl get problem with the board after insert thuban in..
plus this board is outdated.. if compare with 7series, mem clocking indeed great..but now with 900series, 790fx gd70 is nothing...

even 970 chipset would be better than 790FX chipset?

last time got fren told me that 870 is better than 790GX chipset biggrin.gif

for me in 890 era cip even gigabyte 890gpa served me well compare to gd70 in term of proc overclocking... maybe my bad luck or else..
but i tell u my experience... the mosfet are unable to handle thuban 140w and often shutdown when in high load n stress, i also make loud hissing sound before it shut down
only 3.8ghz r safe for it compare gigabyte 4.1ghz stable  sweat.gif since i use lousy ram not much comment for da ram... better refer otai ah khoo for tweaking ram  notworthy.gif
By using multiplier base cpu core, i tot didnt kacau ram it is? unless u bump its system bus will bump ram as well.

so using multiplier to OC, even value ram can handle it?

Started OC my cpu last night (boring what to do..hahahah)

OC my cpu till 3.8GHz@1.48v using multiplier only and i think performance didnt increase too much even below 10% (i just guess) sweat.gif

*tested using Adobe CS5, roughly just faster about 3~8second only (i dont know how to check CPU performance. So i decided using my application to see by using my naked eye only laugh.gif)

Hey guys, im trying to OC my Phenom2x3 710, i have OC-ed it to 2.8Ghz without any problem, however when i hit 2.9Ghz...my windows wouldnt boot up anymore. I tried increasing the Cpu voltage by +0.050 but still not booting up. I want to know whether the problem was caused by insufficient voltage or my mobo wasnt good enough for it.
*
try disable CnQ, cpu C1e support and Spread Spectrum like fatalynx05's suggestion.

INMM, increase from 2.7GHz to 2.9GHz is not too much and X3 710 could do.

if u increase ur bus speed, will increase NB clock as well and need to increase ur NB voltage a bit

I bump my X3 720 2.8GHz to 3.5GHz with just 1step voltage increament and it stable which from 1.32v~1.37v (with my Asus mobo about 0.05v per increase IINM. Default voltage 1.32v can juiced my cpu till 3.4GHz only.

Hahaha..

perhaps AM2+ mobo can survive for last 6months whistling.gif

QUOTE(dafreak @ Jul 26 2011, 08:33 PM)
no point complaining about socket change though...

IMO, no doubt that it is a good thing for consumers by maintaining similar sockets (AM2 > AM2+ > AM3 > AM3+) but I think that is what is limiting them in terms of how much they can do...i think they realise that too...

Look at inhell as an example, a new socket gave them a huge boost and perhaps more flexibility hmm.gif

Sometimes, we must sacrifice some features to ensure that older tech can survive sweat.gif

stick with old tech and you will die out

sometimes (or most times) it is not about the features, but the improved efficiency, performance etc

For pride and benchmarking, INDEED. will die if stick with old tech biggrin.gif

But for satisfaction, nowadays AM3 still worth it..IMPO nod.gif

sometimes diff mobo need diff voltage. btw, did you just change the mobo without fresh install the windows? if yes, then its normal. you need to do fresh install for your OS. don't forget about sata (AHCI) thingy in the bios

Haiyo..didn't noticed that prob. Indeed, just put my new mobo without fresh OS install sweat.gif

AMD Phenom II X3 720 pair with MSI 970A-G46

Using MSI Control Center can unlock + OC. Run smoothly and didn't gave me BSOD or freeze. If using BIOS, same setup figure with Control Center can't boot into Windows. Anyone got any idea why?
