Phenom II AM3

have you seen this yet

On the overclocking front, which OCC is all about, the Phenom II X4 955 lagged behind the Phenom II 940. No matter how much voltage I gave it, or how many adjustments I made, the CPU just did not want to budge. I attempted to suicide the voltage, and still the stability would not set in. With the Phenom II 940, I was able to get almost a 1GHz increase on air alone; however, with the Phenom II 955, the system would lock up with anything over 18.5x205Mhz. Since the Phenom II 955 is clocked higher than the Phenom II 940, it still has good overall speed when overclocked to almost 3.8GHz at 1.5 volts

seems like high volts for 600mgz hope they do better then that

I will be aiming for 3.8 on air stable

on anantech they got to 3.8 on Stock Volts, then they hit 3.9 @ 1.42

They also changed the HSF

that heat sink looks way bigger then one that came with 720be

i agree with you when the 955 is clocking in my MB then i will no what she will do, but caldwells clocks looked good so have high hopes

Hopefully
i remember when they said the 940 could hit 4ghz on air i was like :eek:

but i was only able to push it to 3.81 stable @ 1.54v but had to clock it down due to summer now

Check it out DAMULTA!

MSI’s best-in-class features make the 790FX-GD70 a top value among the three most expensive boards, but most of our editors would probably choose the Gigabyte MA790FXT-UD5P for its cable header placement.

good thing i took your board! :laugh:

People talk about the insance DFI memory settings

The 790FX-GD70 Advanced DRAM submenu has the greatest number of settings we’ve seen in a Phenom II motherboard. Users who are unfamiliar with a setting or otherwise feel it's not worth altering will be pleased to find automatic mode for individual timings.

Then look at this

MSi has the best board IMO

cdawall · Apr 23, 2009

i have already done 360 HT with my board so no not the best IMO

DaMulta · Apr 23, 2009

I can't wait to have the board in my hands. Just to out do you two LOL

At least try LOL because you never know!

I'm ready to release my AMD overclocking skills!

all i can say is good luck and i'm making backups

Pete1burn · Apr 23, 2009

I haven't overclocked a processor since my Pentium III 600 to 933. (Which is still running.) This should be an adventure.

BTW those charts you posted, if you read a piece of the article right above that... the 'locked' the 720... so the MSI has the best overclocking on a locked multi chip. Just as a reference, I'm not saying you are wrong.

BTW I have changed my setup slightly... Now:
955
DFI/MSI (no change there)
8 GB DDR3 1600 Mushkin (7-7-6-18)

2 x Sapphire 4870 1GB's (non-reference cooler) (no change)
Noctua U-12P (no change)

Quick Update!

I just review an invoice confermation from the egg and my board will be here monday along with the most powerfull chip they had :laugh:

I NEED A CPU-Z Validation to post high Scores Starting MONDAY!
And whats the point hitting that high if you cant do a 3dMark06 and SuperPi or anyother benchmark

Plz State your setup IE: cpu / mobo/ gpu clocks / ram @ timmings when you post a 3dmark
