Just doin some test right now tryiing to get the feel of this AMD Rig:)




Using spare parts on my Video until, I order the new 1 and some more fans, I tell you 1 thing these AMD chips take alot of Volts to Oc them my change Cooler also Don't really like how it sits on the Cpu:(

Actually, volts aren't always whats needed. I read a review by someone once, that stated they would actually prefer to be cooled, as opposed to volted. I know that sounds wild, but a guy had over 4Ghz, and only 1.35 volts I believe. This was a phenom 955 I think. Not certain...

Will,
What I don't understand is why you lowered the CPU multiplier and upped the FSB. at 200MHz all the memory speeds can be set with the proper memory multiplier, so a CPU multiplier of 19 will give you 3.8GHz Raise the FSB to 205-206MHz and the memory should be able to handle that small amount of change! You should be able to set the Northbridge frequency to the 11x multiplier, as well as setting the HT Link to 11x as well. In fact, it should run at the 12x multiplier for both. That would be 2472MHz for a Hyper Transport speed of 4944MHz. You will need to raise the NB voltage to 1.300v and the CPU VID voltage to about 1.375 or so. 1.400v is considered the maximum you should set it to!

aight made some changes Russ the multiplier is at x19.0 now instead 14 like it was Raised the FSB to 207 memory holding at 690mhz changed the Northbridge frequency to 12x as well as the HT Link to 12x bumped the NB Volts up to 1.300v cpu at 1.425v to hold 3933mhz with a 10pass of LinX




You gotta see the speed of the stock cooler look at this joker Flying the case almost tiped over...LOL




I know, I gotta get me another after maket cooler AC 64 instead the the Pro 7 Rev 2 just did'nt fit right, I'll save it for a intel build...

I like this Oc instead



My First Amd build trying to learn the Bio setting this is all new to me sense bein over on intel so long!!!

aight here's the brother's side by side




Happy Building
Ya'll

Will,
Looks pretty good. I'm assuming that those temps are stressed, and not idle temps. I never saw my AMD Heatpipe cooler ever turn that fast. 3200-3400 rpm or so is about it!

I'm sure the AMD stock coolers are only 80mm fans if that, the noise levels otherwise would be ridiculous.

there's your Mips Test Russ at 3.9ghz

Well, the Dhrystone doesn't say much, because that score rates the 3.9Ghz Quad on a par with a stock Q9650, which is perhaps a little harsh.

The Whetstone is about right though, 3.9Ghz for the Athlon II vs a 3.5Ghz Yorkfield is fine. If anything, that test is in AMD's favour, the Athlon IIs aren't quite that fast, on average.

turned the clock down alittle along with a voltage drop also with 5 pass of LinX no errors, I guess AMD Gigabyte boards don't give that much in VDroops in volts like Intel Gigabyte boards do huh?
