AMD FX-9370 Vishera 4.4GHz

[Johan45]

It won't read properly unless it's at default. Just save the OC profile in the bios and you're all set.

 

[Hr.Soegaard]

Its done now.

Who shall I send the txt file to?

 

[Johan45]

Just copy and paste the P-State section right here I'm sure RGone will notice.
This is what mine lookslike on the 9370

hope it is what u need. hehe..

 

[Johan45]

Ya we've been comparing the 20x line which is 4.0 mine is set at 1.375v where yours is 1.362v slightly better. If I remember correctly I needed 1.45v for a stable 4.5G

 

[Hr.Soegaard]

okay. can I ask.

NB and HT should they be the same Mhz like 2400/2400 or 2400NB/2600HT ? cannot see this through. got a link where i can read something good about it?

 

[Johan45]

Day to day I run them the same at 2500. The higher you go the more volts the NB needs which is more heat. When benching I usuall have the HT higher than my NB, to mee it seems to help stability on my NB frequency with slightly less voltage.

Here is mine for a 8320

[Hr.Soegaard]

Johan okay, now i have them at 2400/2600 an it looks stable.

I will really like to get a Asus sabertooth Gen3 motherboard so i can hit 4.8.

 

[mtdewcowboy]

You dont want the gen3 boards
Rev2 are the good ones

 

[Hr.Soegaard]

Sure? i can see new digi+ design and pci-x 3.0.. but what do i know.

 

[mtdewcowboy]

Last i read ppl was RMA them real bad and Asus pulled it

 

[Zebodog]

I had 2 bum Gen 3.0 boards earlier in the year. After the second one I said screw it and went with the Gen 2.0. Not a single problem with the Gen 2.0. I don't expect to be saturating the PCIe 2.0 lanes anytime soon so I won't miss PCIe 3.0.

Unless Asus has done some fixing, stick with Gen 2.0 and save yourself a bunch of headaches.

 

[Hr.Soegaard]

Okay, thx for the info, well maybe i should take the 2.0 then...but there must be someone who have the board and it works fine with.

 

[RGone]

Asus moved the Sabertooth 990FX GEN3 R2.0 into the limited production status and have seen prices nearing $255.00 Usd for one when available.

Because there is nO PCIE 3.0 support for AMD chipsets Asus had done some trickery. Actually a grand total of zero AMD PCIE 3.0 boards.. The Asus SaberTooth uses a PLX PEX 8747 splitter to double the bandwidth the PCI-E 2.0 lanes to approximate the PCI-E 3.0 specification, but the PLX chip can't do anything about the changing the encoding from 8b/10b (2.0 spec) to 128b/130b (3.0 spec - pdf), and of course, as with P68/Z68/Z77/Z87 boards equipped with the same bridge chip, you're introducing latency into the system by routing through it. Anandtech has an article that includes information on how the bridge chip actually works.

So price and actual experience of some forum users and the lack of need for PCIE 3.0 for most people, I would not be looking for the Sabertooth 990FX GEN3 R2.0 mobo.
RGone...

 

[Hr.Soegaard]

what I need to read thx.

 

[marjamar]

Should be in today. I'm working on difficulties with my Asus HD-7970 DirectCU II card, so it might be nice to pop in the new CPU an see if anything of it is related to the CPU. Having run this old bulldozer at 4.8 Gigs for about 2 years now, it might be getting all used up. Didn't help it much to do the few hundred thermal shutdowns either I'd expect.

I'm tough on stuff. My first car gave me about a year before I needed to replace the transmission. Drag racing is kind of hard on them, but I got so use to powershifting, it was an everyday excursion for me and my '67 GTO.

Oh well, it's fun to break stuff. Just not so fun sometimes to have to keep fixing it.

[marjamar]

New FX 9370 in and working. Running a few tests and mild OC's. Only have my old nvidia GTX470 right now, so not too much I can test that involves much graphics. Seem it will do better the the FX8150 it's replacing by a fair margin. More later...

Does this mean a lower voltage reading on the 20.00x line would indicate a good chip and a possible higher stable clock?

I joined this forum back in May and my mistake not to do some reading here. I feel like I have learned more in the past two days than the previous 8 months. Particularly in regards to the GA990FXA-UD3 Rev3.0 and it's shortcomings. It's been a pleasure to read an adult conversation about this. Other places you need to filter out a lot of crap.
