AMD Question - 1090T

Ripshod · 4 Jan 2013 at 16:40

I seen all the intel info and I've got my fingers crossed you know AMD.
I want to max my 1090T. At the moment it's stable at 4GHz.
The question I have is do you know of a guide to the max volts I can push into this thing?
I've already maxed the cpu volts, but I'm struggling to find definitive info for voltages like CPU VID, NB VID and such. My system folds 24/7 so I don't want a balls-out suicide run, just the optimum.

A bit more info for you.

CPU Volts is at 1.55V for stability.

Those volts are actually very high for that clock and too high for 24/7. I would be looking to stay below 1.5v 24/7 especially as your loading the CPU hard by folding.

Dont push the CPU further work on bringing the volts down a touch or even lowering the clock so your within safe limits.

Thanks for that 8 Pack.
Backed down to 1.475V.
Funny thing:
Since I built this system I have never been able to go over 204 FSB without boot failure and the settings being restored by the mobo. However the system has now just passed IBT with a 238FSB. Wouldn't even boot before - this has me puzzled but v happy. Gonna play now, I'll post back with results

I think I may have to stick with 3.8GHz. Turned everything else down while I played and I'm stable at 238 FSB and 16 multi.
I'm still getting 70+ GFlops in IBT so I'm happy.
However, if you know something feel free to share

I think you made the correct decision with that one. The fact you could not tune FSB at 4ghz was telling you that was a serious hardware wall. A well tuned 4.8 can be just as fast anyway and now your down to safe volts territory.
