Hi,
I bought an AM3+ motherboard expecting BD to be a little better than it was, even if it wasn't going to dethrone the top SB chips.
I figured even if they started off really expensive I could stick with my X6 1055T for a while and the Asus M5A99X EVO should clock it at least as well as my old Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H board right?
Well apparently not.
I'm currently running it at 3.5GHz (250 x 14) with Auto volts (as I don't quite get the offset thing). This is what I was running on the Gigabyte board too, but for temperature reasons. the chip and mobo were part of an OC bundle that was set to 3.8GHz. It needed 1.475v on the VCore to do it, but it did.
I was hoping this more expensive, newer, motherboard should be able to do that and might even do 3.8GHz with slightly less volts.
So can anyone tell me what setting I need to get it working at 3.8GHz stable?
I tried upping it to 273 x 14 with auto volts, but this seemed to cause issue with the RAM speed (runs at ~1600MHz with the 1055T @ 3.5) an the same with the HyperTransport and Northbridge (or whatever those to values are that usually run at 2000MHz). I left these to Auto to see what happened and Windows failed to boot fully. It fell over on the login screen saying my password was wrong. I checked and it was fine. Dropping my speeds back down allowed it to boot fine, so I'm guessing it was like what happens when Prime95 reports a core returning 0.5 instead of 0.4 or whatever?
So what do I need to do to get my chip running at 3.8GHz again? (Typically I didn't make note of the setting OcUK used on the old board for 3.8GHz)
Also, I'm using the latest BIOS version (0813?)
Thanks.
