your cause of instability could be temperature, Phenom II's cant really stand more than 70c at most and there is a bug in most thubans which cause them to report temperatures 8-14c lower than actual temp.

Your new cooler should fix that anyway.

yes vdroop could be contributing to the fail OC, cooler as well

if LLC is available enable it and see if it changes anything. If there is vdroop then you need to see what the real voltage is under load and raise bios idle voltage to compensate

[killerx525]

I can't find any LLC anywhere in the Bios.

[dinos22]

what rev board is it, should say in one of the PCB corners?

[killerx525]

Rev.1 and i do believe there is only 1 rev

[dinos22]

its a D3 sorry yeah the LLC may not work so you'll probably have to use more voltage to compensate for droop but make sure you got a good cooler first like others said

i personally would not be pushing so many volts to stabilise at 4Ghz, just drop the clock to 3.8 man and see what volts you need

[killerx525]

I just got it at 200x19 at 1.5V and it successfully did the intelburntest. I'm gonna try 3.9Ghz.

Dude your going to fry that chip

Why cant you be content with 3.8 until you get a new cooler?

[killerx525]

I'm willing to take the risk.

Got a source for that? because your previous posts show you have never used an x6 thuban.

Kk, all good then.


Just for general Info too

Pretty good guide from Overclocks..com

You should know how high you will want to push the voltage, but a reasonable guideline is to not go beyond 1.55V on air cooling. The recommended voltage for 24/7 usage is 1.40-1.45 v.

Good enough source?

So HKM, unless you have anything useful to add? Instead of trolling....

[Braedz]

Volts are way too high. You should be able to use stock volts to get to 3.7Ghz. I know on the 1055T that this is the case.

From memory, I had my 1055T stable at 3.7Ghz with 1.275volts.

[m0n4g3]

i second that. 4ghz should be easily attained with ~1.3-1.35v. Try them first before you start upping the vcore insanely! Max i've seen for 4ghz is 1.45.

[killerx525]

When i use stock volt at 4GHz, it would just crash when it tries to boot into windows.

It would on stock. go for 3.7 on stock and you'll most likely get it stable. But i'm starting to think you just have a bad chip. Overclocking may be very limited.
