Nice OC...I think your RAM could have been left at 1600.....Set the multi on up to like...Hell with that MOBO, I would say x21...the FSB could be played with a little if your RAM would allow for it say like FSB 205 maybe even 210....RAM would go up to 1640 MHz or 1680MHz ...you have already got the RAM voltage for it.....Just my two cents...BTW you would for sure have to push your voltage up on the CPU of course due to the fact that the CPU clocks are going to be on up there to the 4.3-4.4 range
 



Thanks for the compliment. Ram i will try to OC a little bit, as my MoBo can handle up to 1800 i believe. i will just choose the next step up as it is in the 1700s. For some reason, the multiplier is giving me temps way past what my cooler can handle, and with my multiplier up, i am getting a long, short, short error code on post if i go below 216 FSB. It could be me, but i am happy with what i got out of this for now. I have been OC'ing for 2 weeks now, a total of 4 days with this chip, and i would rather learn first, than cry later. I want to thank all those who have posted previously on this thread. I have learned a great deal from you all! Also, 4RYAN9 helped tremendously through private chat and previous threads.
 
k...i ugh, got a little more out for a true 4.1GHz OC.

set your RAM to 1600 and FSB 200... your multi to x21...that would be an easier and more stable OC for you....the reason for the problem you are having below 216 MHz sounds like to me your RAM is being pushed to hard....... that would give you 1600 RAM at 4.2 GHz no sweat...BTW your vcore is gonna have to be upped for sure 1.404v just seems really low to me...I reached stability around 1.54v...but not all chips are created equal...So you might have a "magic" chip
 
Saint...here's my main PC

Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks.
 


Can't rerun Prime. It was a server build for a friend and I don't have access to it anymore. Oh well, at least I tried. 🙁
 


The 8ghz is by only running 2 cores. So it's a pretty worthless test but it is good marketing.
 



Good marketing for who the guy that has the money, access, location, and know-how to use liquid helium :heink: and still only two cores....The 5 GHz on air sounds nice though if thats all cores stable that is..keep in mind that is an x-chip so it is a bit on the "special side" too 😀
 
Hi Saint & members... It ain't much but here's my AMD OC,
Cpu: 630
Name: ZEPd3Z
Stepping: C2
Frequency: 3500
ref*multi: 250*14 (Auto)
CPU voltage: 1.51
CPU-NB: 1.45
nb frequency: 2500
NB volts: 1.45
RAM: 4GB 1600Mhz DDR3 6-7-6-24-1T @ 1.6V (Auto)
Motherboard: MSI 890GXM-G65

I have a problem with the 4th dimm so I have to underclock to 1333 and lower timings to compensate. Thanks
 
Well, I don't know if this is an OC or not, but it's still OC'ed
CPU: Phenom II X4 965BE

It's been like this for quite sometime now, by time I mean months, no crashes, no BSOD etc etc.
Will submit the other required details and screens later.
 
Well I will change it pronto...sorry I didn't realize you were on the insane table...I got it.

Oh well that was a no go....saint took my permission away on modifing the table so you will have to wait for saint to do it
 
I think I got a good one, this has been Prime 95 stable for over 24 hours.

AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE @ 3.901 GHz
4GB OCZ Reapr DDR3 1600 8-8-8-24
Sunbeam Core Contact Freezer 120
Asus M4A89TD Pro/USB3
Asus HD4870DK 512MB
Corsair Force 3 120GB SSD (System Drive)
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB (Storage)

And the best part...

This is at stock voltage, overclocked with the multiplier only! The highest temp that I've seen in Intel burn test is 62C. Idle is around 42C, with most gaming loads (GTAIV) bringing the temp up to around 56C. If I really wanted to, I could probably get more out of the chip as it booted Win 7 at 4.0 GHz, however it was not stable enough to run burn test, and for longevity I figured keeping the chip @ stock voltage was a good plan, as the last Athelon that I over volted eventually broke down after about 2 years of use.

dd2 4gb ram

OC my CPU to 4ghz, running prime95 for atleast 3hrs and still going strong no crashes. All i did was up my multipler to 20x and up my vcore volts to 1.45v
