^^
the CPU DID "multi" that u r showing r different then what mine show.
heres what mine has.

CPU DID =0 @x11
1 @x5.5
2 @x2.75
3 @x1.3
4 i did not bother.

but u showing 0=x8 and so forth. would my CPU DID be diff. then yrs since my cpu has locked multi? this is how i check'd mine. could'nt find a Hex chart, and did'nt quiet understand tha caculator thing that QuietIce was telling me.
tha default multi was x11 in tha bios it showed CPU DID =0
so i changed it to 1, and rebooted and bootscreen show'd x5.5..
went back in bios and changed it to =2 and rebooted & bootscreen showed
x2.75. i know this is tha long way to get my multi's but should still be correct?

:confused: tha volts that u posted. r those CPU VID? b/c mine is at 18 which according to yr chart 18=1.25v now i have not changed this at all during my O/C 18 is default.

so does that mean that im not running 1.350v to my cpu then?
 
I'm pretty sure those tables grndragon57 posted are correct - straight from the AMD white paper. The CPU voltage thing is just too weird. Someone said it was the power to/from?? the MOSFETs but IDK. :shrug:

Still odd that CPU-Z is showing 0.96v when the BIOS setting is 1.25v.


CPU DID is the power state - you want to keep that at 0. CPU DID divides the CPU COF (current operating frequency) by 2^x, where 'x' is your setting. So ...

DID value / divider
0 / 1
1 / 2
2 / 4
3 / 8
 
Multi

00 = 8 0A = 13
01 = 8.5 0B = 13.5
02 = 9 0C = 14
03 = 9.5 0D = 14.5
04 = 10 0E = 15
05 = 10.5 0F = 15.5
06 = 11 10 = 16
07 = 11.5 11 = 16.5
08 = 12 12 = 17
09 = 12.5 13 = 17.5
14 = 18
15 = 18.5
16 = 19
17 = 19.5
18 = 20

so 14 is a x11 ? this cant b correct. in my BIOS 0 is x11 multi. mine is

0=x11
1=x5.5
2=x2.75
3=x1.3
4=i did not bother.

so where r u getting those multi at? b/c none of them match what my multi is.
so whos wrong? u can c in my BIOS pic's that its at 0 and in windows cpu-z shows x11.
if u r correct then what would my multi be? heres my settings.
0
1
2
3
4

Here - let's re-label these so there is less confusion:

CPU DID is the power state - you want to keep that at 0 (zero).


CPU FID

00 = 8
01 = 8.5
02 = 9
03 = 9.5
04 = 10
05 = 10.5
06 = 11 <<<--------
07 = 11.5
08 = 12
09 = 12.5
0A = 13
0B = 13.5
0C = 14
0D = 14.5
0E = 15
0F = 15.5
10 = 16
11 = 16.5
12 = 17
13 = 17.5
14 = 18


CPU VID

00 = 1.5500 14 = 1.3000
01 = 1.5375 15 = 1.2875
02 = 1.5250 16 = 1.2750
03 = 1.5125 17 = 1.2625
04 = 1.5000 18 = 1.2500 <<<--------
05 = 1.4875 19 = 1.2375
06 = 1.4750 1A = 1.2250
07 = 1.4625 1B = 1.2125
08 = 1.4500 1C = 1.2000
09 = 1.4375 1D = 1.1875
0A = 1.4250 1E = 1.1750
0B = 1.4125 1F = 1.1625
0C = 1.4000 20 = 1.1500
0D = 1.3875 21 = 1.1375
0E = 1.3750 22 = 1.1250
0F = 1.3625 23 = 1.1125
10 = 1.3500 24 = 1.1000
11 = 1.3375 25 = 1.0875
12 = 1.3250 26 = 1.0750
13 = 1.3125 27 = 1.0625

Thanks QuietIce !!

yes u clear'd it up. i was thinking that tha CPU DID was tha multi. lol so that means that i might have diff/more multi in tha BIOS then what i thought. let me go check see whats waiting behind that door. :beer:
 
ok still no diff. my max CPU FID is 06 =11 ::(:

would i gain any by lowering my multi from 11 to like a x8 or x9 & upping my FSB ?

or am i better off leaving my multi x11.

o" i lowered my NB HT speed from 1800mhz to 1.2 mhz and i was able to load windows with 246x11@ 2714.
where as b4 i could'nt b/c windows/desktop would flicker and have lines . so i may b on to something here.

You shouldn't be able to raise the multiplier on a 9550 but I'm glad you got all that figured out! :) What vCore (CPU voltage) are you running now?

You can keep raising the clock just to see how far it will go, though you might have to turn the RAM down.

It might even be a good idea to turn the NB speed down - or not. That move has a 50/50 success rate for better CPU clocks ...
 
ok since i know now that CPU VID is tha vcore it is @18=1.2500.
so when i get to tha point that windows starts to get unstable is that a good time to increase tha CPU VID 1 setting at a time to try to stable windows? if so, whats tha most
vcore that i should go? OC=1.400v. b/4 i i move to tha Ram to try and stable windows.

THANKS QuietIce; for yr help & knowledge, one day i will b able to do tha same :)
 
Subscribed, I have a phenom 9600 be that I've messed around with a little bit in a 730a mobo without very good results.
 
LOL... EVGA deleted 1 of my posts for blasting their board. i just told tha truth and now i wish i had stayed with GIGABYTE :eh?: :mad:
 
ok i could'nt get no TECH support in tha forums @ eVAGA but some of tha members admit that there is loops in these BIOS to where it will not reconize certain FSB digits. so i had to jump from 246 x 11 to 250 x [email protected] by guessing what 250 x 11 would need or take to boot. all i had to do was increase my CPU VOLTAGE from 1.32v to 1.35v and increase my NB HT SPEED from 1.2mhz to 1.4mhz

not bad i guess for a non BE chip

Is it stable under stress testing?

Hey, man, like your avatar. Adds a nice family touch to this forum.

no, it fails P95 & OCCT. but i been running it at this speed for 2 days and no hick-ups . plays DVD's burns & converts DVD's i done everthing that i would do on this comp and no noticable problems. all my programs runs good too.
it fails b/c of ERROR's not heat. heat has'nt been a problem yet.

thanks bro, yea i build lowriders and hoppers and its a family thing:beer:
