A case with decent air flow would do the cooling job.
Say CM690 with all side, top, bottom, front and rear fans installed...

@ronaldjoe
i used that before, dosen't help la.
most of my fan are the 90cfm fan some more.

@ah khoo
you starting to scare me. 790gx is that bad?
you should easily get 2.8 and even gain more.
gf will be furious later. spend so much no outcome.


@digswell
oh my god. 4.0 to 4.4
mommy i want one.

i already heard abit is closing down long time.
that's why when i bought a faulty ax78 exchange to ga 780.
i personally don't think they are that good.

yeah. asus is better than giga. but the price is.
heat pipe serve better than those fan. that's a definite when i'm buying my new board.
lets hope my target board come out soon.

Hi all Sifu's, I am new in OC and I would like to ask :

1. My current setup good for OC, maybe just up to 3.0Ghz ?
9850+DFI 790Fx+team Extreem ddr2 800 4-4-4-10 4g+AC freezer Pro
64+Corsair HX620 psu
2. Since I am new I am only using AOD on auto clock mode but it'll hang
after 20 minutes.
3. Is this good or is there an y better way to OC or better proc than
since it is a BE ?

Please advice, basically I can't seem to OC it.

Better OC in bios .
Bro Ah Khoo is using phenom maybe he can help u.

Since u using BE proc ...just OC the proc using multipier .
3ghz for 9850be can be done at stock vcore or +0.025 to +0.050
Always oc at bios ...1st oc the proc with loose ram timing ....
after tat u can oc with tighter ram timing

don't be too discouraged mate, i'm still adjustin to d new board & obviously i've been too used to simple bios of abit, need sometimes to pickup on complicated bios like d gud old days of dfi & biostar when i was on nf4 & ta690g.

i'm not qualify enuf to be regarded as sifu, just sharin w' i've read thru & encountered in oc'in phenom:

1. some 9850 b.e did clock badly, it depends much on d batch no. mind to provide d info? it can be find on d code engraved on d IHS. for example, mine is 0810 GPAW.

2. don't ever use AOD for 24/7 oc, bios oc still d best. i only use aod to adjust d voltages. onceu played w/ htt adjust, most of d time u'll get a bsod or freeze (in my case).

3. for b.e, play w/ d multi 1st, once u hit d limit then explore d htt oc abit, u mite gain some MHz from that.

Ok thanks for the advice.....I freeze all the time for AOD. NVM i'll try to learn to OC on the bios but I guess it'll take some time.

For the batch # u mean I have remove the hsf & read on the chip ?

Yes on the Top of the proc

really omg la.. asus new mobo amd770/sb700 is out after i bought the sb600 one two weeks+ ago..


normally cant change to other product after 1 week purchase rite ??

asus fan detected.. for sure they will not let u to change

ah_khoo dun forget to tell about NB n HTlink coneection

yeap.. coz i trust asus =P

Some SS of 3Ghz 9850

Phenom 9850BE low voltage overclocking results!

Ahh. dont worry. The force is strong within you my phenom master.
Dont worry push push push some more.

Sure! 3Ghz quite a achievement
Good Luck Bro Ah Khoo... Wish i have $$$$ for Phenom

Phenom getting cheaper.

@MEMCHELSEA
Get lower end Phenom 1st and play.

-pWs-

too old to get hari raya angpow
maybe wait for deneb

Wait for Deneb better,No worries of caches.New architechture clocking
At first,me also thinking getting 9150e/9550.But after re-thinking again,i wait Deneb better.

Nehalem

-pWs-

Dont expect much from Nehalem IF gaming.But if folding maybe yea.Ehem ehem no Intel talks here
We noe la u join Intel club edy

I was just joking
I looking forward to Deneb too.

Might build up another rig for folding when I got my bonus end of the years.
