yeh i wish more games did that, kinda more towards the PS3 idea of things. use each core of the CPU for different things, but i think quads are gonna have to become main stream before that happens

Maybe I'm wrong but arent the quads already mainstreamed? There are just as many releases for quads now as there are new dual cores, if not more.

Mainly the software people need to standardize 64bit processing so we can move on to Beta 128 bit processing and Processors. Software is the main problem. If we can't write programs to utilize 64bits on a normal basis. They still even make games for DX-9.

But it takes many moons to standardize all this stuff. The consumer needs to believe that duals are out and quads are in. And they also need to believe that dual cores are no longer good enough for every day computing. (even though they really still are good enough).

But in the mean time. OC what you got, and what you don't got, we wont OC!

[Orac]

sotra what i mean by mainstream, and they wont go as you sorta said until the software needs it. and that wont be for a while

Pretaining back to NB, HT OCing. I have the M3a32-mvp deluxe, are you talking about upping the NB-CPU to 1.5 V? i managed to get mine to run stable enough at 240X13 NB and HT at 2400 @1.4 v to run 3dmark06 and i am noticing almost a 1000-1200 mark difference between running it at 2160 Mhz. so i guess thats is a substancial difference. but at these setting i couldn't get prime to run for more then 3 min

I used a high voltage (1.5) for the NB and 1.4v HT. That's just how my system likes it. Not a problem though I have adequate cooling.

But yea that's a great OC for HT/NB. I had a hard time with FSB at those speeds so I stuck to a multi OC. It would handle 207 ok and 210 was Bsod. At that point I added voltage to the RAM, But I don't like doing that.

So for me a stable every day clock is 3ghz cpu and 2.2ghz HT/NB all with stock voltages. Runs pretty smooth I must say.

which case are u running? i have the antec 900 do u think that that will keep the board cool? all fans in place, and currently asus pc probe says mobo temp is 31

I actually have the same case as you with a fan mod. I flipped the 200mm fan on top so it blows in instead of out.

Mobo temp is right on the money. 31c is a great temp.

[rukik]

cool how hot does your mobo get at 1.5 v?

[ShrimpBrime]

With the mempipes in place, the NB stays under 40c at all times even under load. Right now it's at 33c and 200mhz OCed

[rukik]

nice thats good news, i don't have mempipes thay don't work with my Ocz reaper ram, they allready have sinks on them

Additional Comment:

I will let you know if i can get 2400 Mhz stab

I still have the heat sinks on my Muskin that came with the RaM and the heat pipe is installed. There should be room to squeeze the mempipe in there.

Ok after a lot of messing around, i brought my CPU-NB up to 1.5V and my cpu up to 1.4375V i achieved stability in prime. (6 hours no errors) I have it set at 275X11= 3025 Mhz. There for ram is 1100 Mhz at a 1:1 and my NB and HT are 2200. I never thoguht i would get results like this. Until i upped the CPU-NB voltage i couldn't get my cpu to boot into windows higher then 240, but could get a post up to 283, now i am stab at 275... I have a wierd phenom lol.

Heh. Yea they are strange creatures aren't they. Did you see my post with a near 3ghz OC and a 2600 HT/NB speed? Yea weird! The HT/NB has more OC than the cpu core does lol!

ya, lol. Well i did some benchs and it turns out that even though its running 25 mhz faster with the fsb of 275 it actually scored lower... so i am trying to get a little higher out of it. Same Vcore but trying 225x14 with a 3:4 divider giving me a 3150 MHZ, and a 2250 NB, sure enought i am in windows, but lets see what happend when i load prime 95 lol

Additional Comment:

mobo is up 5 C higher then norm at this setting
Oh well my Bestfriend BSOD just visited me, do you think my ram timings are a little to tight for this clock?

I'd need a cpu-z for that one. what's the Ram running right now? mhz?

I set mine to 667 in bios and then pushed the FSB back up until the ram was at 800mhz. Try lowering the Ram in bios to 533 or perhaps 400 for more headroom on the ram.

[rukik]

Dram freq in Cpuz is 300mhz, so 1200, i have it at 533 is bios but with fsb of 225, that set it up to 600 5-5-5-15 @ 2.2 V

Additional Comment:

all right i gave up lol, 200X15 with a 2400 nb and ht link yields fastest results in prime benchmark and 3dmark06, witht he safest Voltages and lowest temps this is where i am sticking until i get a Phenom 2 to play with.

So how much of an improvement in performance did increasing the HT/NB get you @ 3.0Ghz? Just curious to see if it's even worth it for day to day use.

[rukik]

going from 2200 to 2400 yeilded +- 1000 marks in 3dmark06 for me, and my mobo temp is peaking at 31C after 4 hours of Prime running. I noticed a big change in the first test in 3dmark06. averaging 3-5 fps higher through out the test. and in the second cpu test there were a few occasion when i actually hit 3 fsp lol.

ola guys! im a newbie.. can u help me try to get a decent stable 3.3hz run on this set up:
asus m3a78-t mobo
amd 9950
4gig ddr 2 pqy running 667
my bios is 0802
i dont know how to set up in bios as well.

any comment is greatly appreciated...
thank you guys!

if you need more details ,, i can research for you..

thank you so much!!!

cheers Mates,
just want to ask for your help trying to decently overclocking to a stable 3.3 ghz,, please help..

my components as ff:
asus m3a78-t
amd 9950 be
zalman cnps 9700
4 gig pqy ddr2 667 speed
pny nvidia 9400 gt
1000 watts quattro psu
my bios is 0802 and i dont know how to set it up as well.

sorry to bother you guys,,any comment will be greatly appreciated, just want to be a newbie ..

if you need more detailed info,,i can research it ..

thanks and Godspeed guys!

If your new to this, check this out first, and follow the steps. It will teach you how to find your max valsue and where to start. Personally getting 3.3 out of the 9950 will be difficult without watercooling, and it also depends on your chip personally. I run mine at 3.0 ghz for heat purposes and its pleanty fast and stable.
