I'm closing in on why phenom clocks up terrible.
At first I thought it has nothing to do with the SB600 mobo of mine.
Seems like it has everything(well nearly...) to do with the southbridge.
When my phenom clocks up to 240HTT, my 9600GT starts to crap out when running stability tests.
Previously fine when i'm at 220~230HTT. When pushing up HTT, PCI clock gets bumped up too??
Well I have no way to adjust the PCI clock or lock it at the bios...
Hitting 250HTT, internet explorer starts to go turbo mode, audio is out of synch.
Its as if when I bump up the HTT, the southbrigde bumps every other clock up, causing everything
to be unstable. If I were to leave my HTT on 200, suddenly my 9600GT can overclock higher than usual.
When(or if) SB750 or a fixed SB comes out, i think we all phenom owner's (B2, B3) should have no problem
running phenom up to 2.8 ~ 3ghz on stock volts by upping the HTT. Else we'll have to go the black edition way..
Anyone knows more? I may be wrong though.
hope it will solve the problem lo, but still got teribble twp problem phenom facing
