I'm attempting to land a 3.9Ghz overclock. seeing some rather strange behavior. I have the CPU voltage set at 1.375, the northbridge is at 2400Mhz(.06V boost[1.18V]), HT at 2000, Ram is at auto clock 1333.

Well Omega my settings are 200x19.5 my cpu voltage is set at 1.4v the the northbridge is 12x at 1.300v the HT is at 11x at 1.300v also but my memory is runnning 9-9-9-24 at 1342/2= 671mhz run your memory at manual setting loosen the timing up alittle bit, I guest these are your sticks here?

if not let me know with post link try 8-8-8-24 or 9-9-9-24 either or will do and give alittle space to oc them as well. I got the these here on my board and running them at 9-9-9-24 at 1.6v and they are rock'en smooth...the trick is Take that Ram off auto:)Here's my Sticks

I got the 790xt-ud4p we almost have the simalar board with only the Rev.1.0 made

mine

yours

changes some voltages and some little bit of timings and you can run stable the G.Skill can run Oc'd alittle believe me:)


just did test at 3.9ghz stable enough with LinX same as IBT testing no Errors temps got high as 60c at times my settings is locked in...:)

testing



completed

When I attempt Intelburntest, this is what I get. If I attempt to bump the cpu voltage up, even a little, it becomes EVEN MORE unstable. 1.4, 1.425, 1.45. Very strange. Obviously the Cpu is NOT the weakest link LOL! My guess would be either the Ram is unstable(Ram voltage 1.65v set for max), or the Northbridge is unstable. I'm curious where I should go from here. Or at least what your opinions are ;)

Russ, the link you gave me on march 7th, leading to the following forum:
http://www.overclock.net/amd-general/525...king-guide.html
suggested that the HT link width will either have MINOR effect, or even hinder performance. Ok wait. It wasn't that link, it was a link that was posted on that guide that suggested it. Here it is.

I however am aiming for 2200mhz, so I at least give it a little nudge ;)

I'll raise my NB volts again, and see what happens.

By the way, My cpu voltage is only 1.375

Omega it seems you got alittle added extra's in your Voltage columns than me?


Russ is right,Try raising your northbridge volts 1.30v for it, and 1.30v for the CPU NB VID voltage.and see what happen seems to me. I needed not to be that high for a stable Oc Reason. I don't know in your case it may just be memory issues don't be afriad to loosen that memory up alittle and every body trys that Auto thing in Oc'ing that don't work No#1 it raises Voltage higher than need be the key is to figure out a stable voltage to run on a Oc at lowest possible and another thing when you changing the clock speed on your cpu your also changing the mhz on your memory so that may take some loosing up my sometimes you get lucky and can keep it tight but how race car drivers say loose is fast and tight is slow.lol

Russ, there's a newer CPU-Z out that will recognize your processor better ;)

Your CPU-Z is calling your processor a AM2+, when it's a AM3 cpu. Did that not change?
