Thats awesome Saint19! Was that with LN2, I think it was your post in another thread talking about OCing with LN2.

Yeah, with LN2.

 

[lowjack989]

Holy sheet Saint.......Now thats an OC....6.3GHz@1.84v----->Woweee

 

[aznshinobi]

Saint, that's haxors.

 

[goingCrazy2011]

Now you need to try LHe

 

[bardacuda]

Nice OC Saint...but I still have a better background 😀
What's LN2 and LHe?

 

[goingCrazy2011]

LN2 = Liquid Nitrogen = very cold
LHe = Liquid Helium = even colder

Neither is good for 24/7/365, but are good for some benchmark bragging rights.

 

[lowjack989]

Got it up to 4.24GHz@1.5v...screenie to follow.... The NB was the cause of the instability.

Nice OC Saint...but I still have a better background 😀
What's LN2 and LHe?

As goingCrazy2011 says, LN2 is liquid nitrogen while LHe is liquid helium. The difference is temperatures.

LN2 = ~ -192ºC
LHe = ~ -273ºC, in other word, the absolute zero

Hey Saint, heres my 4.235GHz@1.5v....validation

Anyone updating this thread anymore?

 

[saint19]

Me, I'm just a little busy writing a review for MSI about the new 990FXA-GD65.

Now the thread is updated, good overclock lowjack989 and your wallpaper is very sexy.

btw, here is something more interesting

 

[lowjack989]

More LN2 I see, Thats a little on the extreme side of things though....Did you run prime95 for at least 2 hours...lol

I can do it if you pay the LN2 for those two hours

[saint19]

@mlCaouette: Done. 😉, I'm pretty sure that with a better CPU you can get a very good overcloclk.

 

[lowjack989]

Yeah mlCaouette, you got a 990 chipset with a dated CPU.....Why spend so much on a MOBO then install an inferior CPU in it???

 

[bardacuda]

I am guessing he bought as basically a place holder until bulldozer comes out and then it will be transferred to his M4A88TD-V EVO system and potentially unlocked as an upgrade to his Athlon 450?

 

[mlcaouette]

@bardacuda, your guess is correct. Hopefully I will have enough money saved up by the time they release. I haven't attempted to unlock it yet (but this board does support the unlocking feature). I couldn't really justify spending any more on a processor which is doomed for replacement. Given, I could've bought a cheaper board with a better cpu, I really wanted this one

 

[lando0077]

Saint, here is a list of my components.

Tower: Tt V9 BlacX Edition
MB: Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD5
CPU: AMD Phenom 1090T BE
Power: CORSAIR 650W
GPU: (2)ATI Radeon 5770
RAM: Four Kingston Hyperx 4GB DDR3 1600
HDD Mem: One 2Tb and Two 1TB And Two 250 GB HDD
CPU Cooler: Corsair H50

I have not been able to successfully get this stable at a, what i consider, mild OC of 4.0. Last night Prime ran for about an hour before the BSOD, that is also the longest it has ran before faulting out.

[saint19]

What are the specs of your RAM? The timings that I see in the pictures aren't good and i'm pretty sure that aren't the correct for your RAM. Remove two sticks and try two overclock with only two (8GB) installed.

[saint19]

What are the manufacturer specs, not the BIOS specs. Both are different.

 

[lando0077]

Sorry for the confusion on my part!

Had I actually consulted the Mfg's Spec, maybe I would not have had so much trouble the past few weeks.


According to this sheet, I need to be running 9-9-9-27

[lowjack989]

Hey saint here is my insane OC so far.....

http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1921079

I figured you needed some data for that table its pretty bare

 

[lowjack989]

Going for 4.3GHz@1.525v.....fingers crossed

Damn 4.3 crashed out.....oh well going for 21 X 202.7=4.256 GHz its that extra 50 Hz thats getting me...its just not worth putting another 50mV to it...I did get it to boot and vaildate to 4.5GHz@1.525v...primed for 3 minutes before failure
