HELP!! overclocking my 1090T

Yes my old 1090t I sold CD was able to get up to 4.1 prime stable. Took some real good fans and a cool basement to do it but it was doable. There were a couple of good chips kicking around here back then.
 
well in the mid 1700's with the ram and the 2800's is all I can get out of the cpu/nb, 1.35 on the cpu/nb and 1.65 on the ram.
the ram will get to the lower 1800's but 10-9-10 is going nowhere fast, I can just throw in some 1866 ram and be better off.
it's been nothing but black and blue screens all night..........

CPU/NB voltage is low. Bump that up to a good 1.45v. If you have a chipset voltage available, this would be the NB core. default is 1.1v, 1.2v should be good for 3ghz NB. These go pretty high up, actively cool the chipset.

Ram DDR3 actively cooled, probably get away up to 1.8v Don't have to be ultra shy, I've run Mushkins at 2.0v for benching.

That 1090T should easily run 1000mhz. I think mine was able for some 1100 stable. 9-10-9-27-36 2T 1.65v - 1.750v

Think I used to run mine daily with Ram at 800mhz 8-8-8 1.5v. The chip wasn't good for 4ghz at all. Even chilled. It acted like a Brisbane IMO.

This is 2012. This chip was also de-lidded ftw. Didn't help get over 4ghz.....

Might want to try messing with HT Link voltage. I've only ever had one Thuban to play with, but it seemed to help.

I guess to be more explicit about it, try an HT voltage of 1.35v. 1.2v is stock so +.15v.

Note that I have no idea if that's considered "safe" but my chip hasn't died yet.

Hopefully that will give you more options at approcaching your target speeds, at least if you want to try some combinations of higher HTT clock/lower mult.

Give some more options on other ratios like memory, IMC, etc.

Let us know if it helps - I know for my chip it made a very significant difference.
 
so did you throw this processor away, or what??? I know Thuban isn't new tech, but some of us want to see the "old procs" do in the hands of the elder gods old masters....

emo guilt plus = I haven't posted since this thread since I guessed my input was useless...
 
oh, I still have it, just no time to sit down and play, right now it sits in a lanbox case with a coolermaster siedon cooler but it's over in storage while I work my fat butt back to skinny.
I hope to drag it back out again soon, I may go get it and have a go at the overclocktagon with it.
it is a solid 4.0 chip with this cooling but as I raise the cpu/nb and it's voltage heat builds quickly.
the other thing that is holding it up is I am getting my 2 4790K rigs squared away to get rid of them and looking at 1151/skylake. seeing that broadwell was nothing, if not a stinker.
 
awesome and thank you sir. I will wait in excited anticipation for when you have time to dig these out again.
 
well, I have dug it out of storage and drug it back home, I have some work to do to get it back to the setup we started with but we will restart shortly.........
 
ok I got it going, I've got some work to do, set the ram to jdec specs, I did something wrong with the rad fans but I think that's just the way I have them set in the bios.
so, back in a bit.

I had to strip all the plastic covers off the case, the front mesh just clogs the fans, I am running reversed airflow, a no, no, for you, airflow is in at the top and back to out at the front.
I'm going to have to pick up some better fans for the radiator at some point.
got to 3.9 this time so that's better, vcore is 1.464 trending to 1.472 at times so not so bad.
the magic 4.0 is next.

there's 4.0, getting ready to run out of temp headroom so time to play with the fsb and cpu/nb next.
adding to the cpu/nb voltage will bring on more heat so it's back to that bit of fun next.
your cpu is a good bit better than mine but you will hit that spot where it takes a heafty increase in vcore to get that next 100mgz.

here's the first benches at 20x200.
where to next guys, I have been on the intel side and amd just has so many buttons to push and knobs to twist........

Well next step is to work at that ram and NB C_D like S_B said don't be afraid to give it some CPU_NB voltage. Here's mt settings from the Overclocktagon

making a little head way.

looks like this is the end of the line, cpu/nb will just get into the 2800's even above 1.35v so it's back to adding more cpu speed.

WELL, now........
just jamming the voltage through the cpu/nb and the ram will work, you just have to jam enough through them.

Ha, now that's the C_D I remember. These aren't Intels :clap:
 
MAN. I have FORGOTTEN what it takes to push one of these amd cpus to it's limits!!!!
the heat is another issue I have forgotten about with thuban, I've only "just" got that under control.
I do need a better chip so if one of you guys have a good one on the shelf let me know.
