CnQ can be unstable when overclocking because it also reduces processor voltage in addition to reducing the clock frequency. It does it in steps, no sudden jumps from 50% to full clock speed. After overclocking, sometimes some of the default voltage settings in the intermediate steps will not function well anymore-too low to be stable at overclocked settings.

However, sometimes you may just be lucky. In my case, not so. Games which do not fully load the processor but still do more than 50% load cause CnQ to switch the processor from full speed to partial (but still more than 50%) many times a second due to the game's constantly varying load. Eventually, the system crashed. Currently I use CystalCPUID to create a form of manual CnQ, which undervolts and underclocks the processor at idle, and restores it to normal speed (with slight undervolting) at moderate load, and overclocked (with overvolting) at full load.

Brisbane 3600+ with stock hsf + Biostar Tforce 570 SLi reporting in...

I was expecting a crashed but still ok under normal/gaming usage for the moment.

bro,

wats the max vdimm for this board via bios r? hehe thanks!

back to Oc world.hope all menber wellcome me back post up my result soon.gonna clock with stock hitsink.hope can break 2.9ghz.3Ghz my target with better cooling system.hehehehe...normal how high vcore ur guy to use to break 2.9Ghz.need some info here

woh.1.35V for 2.9Ghz.can boot up.fail to prime ler...erm...just try need higher vcore.1.4V maybe can do stable at 307x9.5

Mine need 1.4v to be stable at 2945Mhz

@Treason
You got a nice chip


-pWs-

whick heatsink best for AM2 tat can inprove alot and value for money?

Quite a lot .. How much ur budget?
TTBTVX, GeminII, Noctua N12-UF ...


-pWs-

interest Noctua N12-UF where u get it and how much u buy brother.....

Tuniq Tower 120 perhaps? LOL!!
Yea, budget is an important factor. noise issues as well. GeminII with two of yuor own fans can get noisy, but they work dang well.

You can buy from bulk. Very nice silent hsf and seller

i dunwan noise hsf ler.very scared *Bising Ade*so silent is my choice

Tuniq and Noctua can be of good choices.
Both of them can be found on bulk sections of this forum.

Tuniq's price ranges from RM190~RM210, both with fans. just check it out.
Noctua's RM180 (no fan) and RM210 (with fan), not really a bad choice as well also.


Just choose choose around and read up some reviews la.

still havent fully explore this mobo but for your answer, its 2.1v at stock bios.

brother and sisters

wats the use of the virtualization? i see it in bios..will enable offer benefit or jus make it more worst for my ocing

Virtualisation is to allow multiple OS to run at the same time. Sort of like splitting up the processor to run Windows, Linux and Mac OS all simultaneously. Usually used in data centres to allow 1 server to handle multiple tasks at once. Of little use to end-users like us, as in-depth knowledge of several OS is required.

so no need bother it den..

Eh...I thought Intel only got Virtualisation technology.. AMD also got??
