even with 4850 i feel not fully utilizing.
that why im getting lags here and there.
the dark side is indeed getting stronger as lord cyloh is telling.

someone ask me what can make me very happy. i told him im a simple girl.
just a 4870x2 will make me very happy.  so now i can go for better parts and board with my cash.   

bro, from my past experience, phenoms don't really do well with extra vcore, u can verify this w/ bro cyloh. 

it's unethical to rma burn chip due to our own fault. 

bro, i know that nb freq should always be higher than ht link. but in my case d ht link is hoverin @ 1.6~1.7k (IIRC) but d nb freq is @ 2.2k, which i think is abit too high. 

rest assured i'll try my very best to achive higher clocks... 2.8GHz could be possible for sp 1m, i'm targettin 2.7GHz prime stable currently... 
just get my new toy, sumthing big & windy... 

i gotta ride on d tren for 1.5hrs (back & forth) just to get this stuff @ knock down price... 

actually u r lucky enough to get low stock voltage.. the proc can OC better..
phenom can run @ 1.1v also..

as promised, 2.7GHz for bro -pWs- & our up comin new phenom user...

bro xixo, pls put my name into d db, thanks... 

Phenom X4 9550 | ah_khoo | Abit AX78 | Twinmos DDR800 Value Ram | 982MHz | 5-5-5-15-21 | PC Cooler HP-1204

suicide ss for sp 1m... i dun think it can be prime stable... not w/ this board at least... 

[attachmentid=555276]

i dun think it's possible w/ my current board bro... pwm temp + sb600...

i see 3.6GHz on ya quaddy, well done bro... 

hahaha. guilty as charged. 
you no sweat? dont feel like coming back to AMD? 
play?     
I will try play be, see have fun or not as you say. 
not 2 months la. most is 1 month and i think 2 weeks should arrive as its a is range chip.

1 year time? 
then hope is gone. 
oh. i havent got time to find batch and details on that.
not looking now. maybe in a month time.

shhh? everybody here know already. 
what heatsink you use?
see in windows via Everest on the temp.
is the casing ventilation good?
bios updated to the latest?

it's nothing compared to figures that intel can offer... 

i'll be d@mn happy if i can get a amd quaddy to oc 30~40% from its stock speed. 

for bro cyloh... 

[attachmentid=556561]

can someone teach me the basics of overclocking an amd proc.. noob here.

it was just 3d stable only bro, not prime stable thou... no way w/ this crappy board of mine... 

d nos. is nothing when compared to ya q6600... intel quaddies @ 3.6GHz gonna score atleast a 5k cpu score...     

waa... ya request is gettin tougher & tougher leh... 

advertisment??

try clock the q6600 to 2.8ghz and post the results

not really way more powa lah bro, as we all knew single 9600gt pwn single 3850 anytime... 

btw, no harm tryin @ 2.8GHz, i would like to see how big is d diff between core 2 quad & lousy phenom clock to clock wise. 
@ AMDAthlon

is the source reliable? they even stated d wrong clock speed for 9850 leh... 

9850 should be 2.5GHz, only 9950 is on 2.6GHz if i'm not mistaken. 

Hey guys, I'm new to this OC scene and it will be great if all of you can enlighten me so that I can push my phenom higher. Is this the optimum that my phenom can go? as I was trying to push the bus speed more than 240 but it just won't boot. I'm using DFI LP DK 790FX board.

bro, let's admit it. amd never gonna overtake intel even if u compare a deneb to yorkfield. deneb could go near or slightly better than yorkfield (i really doubt this) on same clock speed, but when u start crankin up d fsb, deneb will still find it hard to catch up w/ yorkfield in term of MHz. from d review, deneb needed an unhealthy amount of voltage to reach 4.0GHz which definitely not meant for 24/7, while in yorkfield u can simply increase a lot of clock w/o d need of insane voltage. 

as for d price cut, i dun think imsmiko can wait til it's effective. imo it'll take months for that. waitin game is not so pleasant for those who can't wait...   
actually am2/am2+ oc are not as hard as u think if u have experience w/ s939. they're just upgraded architectures of d great old k8. 

yup, it's simple. if they can't win over intel in term of performance, then they gotta beat intel in term of price while offerin "not so lousy" performance. 

i'm impatiently waitin for ya amd comeback bro.

Hey guys, I manage to increase the bus speed to 250 after i bump up the HT and NB multi. When I test this settings with Prime95 for 5 mins it is ok but once I increase the bus speed to 252 while running Prime95, the PC hang or just restart itself. So I try to increase the core voltage and RAM voltage but it is the same. Any suggestions?
