As per request and also to help us out to see which system boards, ram sets, cooling, etc play nicely with PII here's a thread to help us do just that. This is ONLY for results.
Any discussion can be had here or your more then welcome to start your on thread if you need serious attention with you system.





ONCE AGAIN RESULTS ONLY!!! :beer: any other post will be deleted






Example of a result. We will need your system components.

CPU = AM2+ 940 Phenom II (stepping would be nice)
mobo = Asus M3A79T - Deluxe
Ram = 2x1gb PC6400 g-skill 2GBHZ (d9's)
HD = 2 x 74gb raptors in raid-0
PSU = Corsair 520HX
PCI-e = PNY 8800gt
Cooling = Stock HSF or True 120 Black
Cased system or open bench table or put in the freezer :D



Then we will need the best you got out of it. A screen shot would be best for this. It would be best to have the result being a stable one. If you would like you can post a max benchable result also to go with the stable result also but be sure to keep all the information in your one post. Try Not To Put More Then Two Results In Your Post However. (i.e. stable overclock and max benchable)



For Screen shots be sure you include two cpu-z's one on the cpu tab and one on the memory tab. Also a superpi or wprime run in there would be really nice at the least. Any other benchmarks you would like to include in the screen shot would be great...



"Result Stats"





Thanks, This thread will be moderated.

AC's PhenToo on a DFI (Dragon Fly Incinerator)
3.2 Passed 1.39Vcore, 1.25V NB -(ran fo one week gaming, folding, ripping, surfing, sleep mode, off at night. Not cold bugs, reboots or crashes.
3.3 Passed 1.4Vcore, 1.3V NB, ---OCCT and 3 hours folding. CURRENT SETTINGS

Now that we know about the NB, I doubt the 1.4VCore is needed and will test that.


PhenOne - 9850BBE 2.55G - Cinibench = 9915

Phentoo - 940BBE 1.250V. 3.0G - Cinibench = 12547
Phentoo - 940BBE 1.250V, 3.22G - Cinibench = 12818
Phentoo - 940BBE 1.325V, 3.3G - Cinibench = 12986
Phentoo - 940BBE 1.400V, 3.4G - Cinibench = 13247 - 35 Mins of Orthos on 4 cores
changed to Cosair XMS2 CL4 until I get the new GsKills.
Phentooy-940BBE 1.456V, 3.6G - CiniBench = 14488 - 30 Mins of Orthos on 4 cores

1.4V booted at 3.6G but did not survive Orthos, reboot

Temps are stying in the low 50s max. 3.4G mostly stable at 1.4V is good. So far it's tracking about .5V above my Kentsfield.

---------------------------------------------------
VID = 1.35V These are just preliminary tests and logs to see where the voltage thresholds are.
Undervolt testing. 1.275
1.275V boots fine, surf but 2 cores of othos failed after 10 mins while playing Harvest Massive.
BSOD = 0
BOOTFAIL = 0
Temps 31C idle 37C 2 core loaded.

Undervolt, 1.312VC 1.212NB
2 cores orthos 45-60 mins
3.2 Passed
3.3 Failed at folding.

DFI LP790FX UT - SB600
2 x 2G Corsair 6400 CL4 XMS2 or 2x2G Gskill 8000 CL5

Well i've been working all night long on this thing, It's hard adjusting to learn how to OC a Phenom. I've tried as hard as I can to hit 4ghz with it on my Lapped True Black 120 Dual S-flex setup. It's an incredibly fast system! I can get it in at 3.9 but 4.0 is simply a no go, i've even tried a run at 1.6v (was idling about 40c) I'm sure I can get better with it by learning how to mess with the north bridge and such.

THe one thing that's seriously bothering me is the fact that I can't run Dual Channel. The true sits too low and my Corsair Dominators are just too tall :( I'm going to shut it off for the night and let the poor thing rest. enjoy!
