that's what i see , i bought the 990X last month , need to find a thread to over clock it , any one know what the 990X clocks to ?
No im not happy, the system froze at stock volts 3.8 Ghz in Prime 95, and it wont do 2000 Mhz ram
Well, that joke back fired :/
What's the spec of your memory?
Have you tried just testing 3.8Ghz at stock memory values or what the MB doesn't class as an OC?

1366 mem controller is only rated for 1066mhz.
It's triple channel so you don't need blazing fast memory.

Trying 1.225v 3.8 Ghz, 190 BCLK, 1900 Mhz Cas 7 ram.
This chip is giving you bipolar tendencies - euphoria then lows - they should have supplied lithium along with the HS.

Geil Ultra Series, 2133 Mhz 9-9-9-28 1.65v.
Stock volts 3.8 Ghz with full LLC still failed, trying 1.225v.
First successful OC with no crash - 4 Ghz @ 1.3v! (Might manage lower, havnt tested that yet).
My I7 920 needed 1.34v for 4 Ghz.
Update - 1.275v @ 4 Ghz working.
Now 1.25v @ 4 Ghz is working (ram speed down to 1600 Mhz Cas 6).
The ram was causing the crashes before, the CPU is great

Get it straight to 4.4GHz or something and then work from there. 4GHz is a piece of cake on Gulftown. Remember a 4GHz 920 is a 50% OC whereas 4GHz is nothing to the Gulftowns.
Indeed, my initial attempts were foiled by trying to OC my ram at the same time.
Stock voltage, 4 Ghz, Prime 95 + SuperPi passed at the same time:
Such an improvement already over needing 1.34v for 4 Ghz on my I7 920
I'm going to be keeping my R3E + I7 980 till they go obsolete.

I always always tempted to buy a 980. But my 920 still does me MORE than I need. Even at 1600 Mhz RAM speed.
Glad you're enjoying it though
