Fastest AM3 mb challenge.

Nope, no misunderstanding. Won't unlock, won't take a high multi. I would hesitate to recommend the 740. Don't get me wrong, it runs great @3800, ok @4000, but fails at =>x20. Only tried in GA 890gpa/gx, not in 890fx. I have made boints with it though.

That's C2 v C3 stepping showing up there - and Chance probably got his fresh out of the factory. The older a CPU line gets the better they OC.

My X2 4600+ won't go past 2.5GHz. My motherboard doesn't even allow me to increase the vcore! Even a BIOS update didn't solve the problem.

If the control circuitry isn't on the board then no BIOS update can help.

Exactly what QuietIce said. All of the 700 series are C2 chips and thus = bad clockers, relatively speaking. I got mine to 5050 under DIce after two sessions of struggle, so don't be upset that your 740 isn't the best clocker.

Like I said, got a few boints outta the baby. And she runs good, just not quick on her feet.

 

[ChanceCoats123]

Great work. And some trophies to boot.

Thank you thank you, my mama thanks you...

Now cracking the Turion 64 laptop. What a hoot. Busy night.

New max cpu-z validation submitted for this contest.

 

[Wayward_Son]

What are the rules here? A simple CPUz validation screenie?

Okay well here's an ASUS for you!

ASUS M4A78T-E (790GX + SB750)
Phenom II 965BE - 4.726GHz on air =)
hwbot proof with pics of the setup as it was.

Lets see some challengers =)

 

[Dooms101]

Man that is one to look for. You know what, 5 might be doable on air, hmmm. I might hit that if my fingers dance really well, and bits fly in a straight line. Where's the validation or something I can see your settings?

Someone on the bot got a video of them sitting on the desktop and validating with 5GHz on air with a 955

 

[Apht3rThawt]

See, you guys. Good stuff. Moar volts, more hurts. Let's see more!!! 5 gigahurtz on air, right around the corner.

Were they from XS? I read of some guys that hit 5ghz on air with negative ambient temps.

HWBot article

 

[ChanceCoats123]

Yeah, that submission was for the "Flank'sContest" which was the first to hit 5ghz air on a Deneb. Great chip, I reckon.

 

[Dooms101]

Seems pretty incredible, but really makes me envy Intel for their OC's with Sandy Bridge on air. Hopefully Bulldozer blows 'em outta the water.

 

[ChanceCoats123]

+1. Definitely.

 

[Caviman2201]

Are we talking max that one can get a screenshot/wprime run or max stable... huge difference there...

Here's my max 100% stable right now. Specs in the sig...

 

[Dooms101]

Well I posted my max non-stable (aka max cpuz). As far as max 100% stable I can do 4.2GHz @ 1.53v, but I have been having IMC issues lately so I am running stock.

 

[ChanceCoats123]

Mine were all max stable. By the way, stock clocks FTW!

 

[Dooms101]

Yep... for now that is! I hope I can get 4.8 or better (the chip can do it) with a better board. My ASUS can't provide enough power with only a P4 connector. I am looking at some better boards with EPS-12v's and 800 series chipsets.
