your welcome.

at the moment im running prime95 on blend which im goiing for a 8 hour run so far its done 6 hours if it passed 8hours then i know i've got the ram timing stable then tomorrow i'll up the nb.

Looks good to me . . . 3.8GHz @ 1.408vCore . . .

I am wondering about your cooling Gareth, I did skim the thread but I didn't see it, I think you said before you had a Ultra-120 classic right?

46°C load in some respects is good but I am thinking maybe that is too hot for a clean Prime @ 4.0GHz :(

I don't know for sure as I'm still learning myself and I am using Propus but since reducing my peak load temps by 20°C-25°C it's altered it's properties! :)

Is there anyway you would/could do some "I'm sitting at home freezing my **** off for the lads" testing!

If you freeze your system down a bit (open windows etc) and confirm it's happier at 4.0GHz then maybe there is scope to get you some enhanced cooling sorted . . .what do you think? :cool:

one side my case isn't on fully due to the cpu cooler touching the 38cm side fan. so i guess that helps abit. from about 5-6pm my room temp drops so tomorrow i may try..

ok your cpu-nb is slightly better then, mine needs about 1.35-1.375v... for 2.6ghz it needs 1.275v so im keeping at that for now..

amd says the cpu-nb frequency needs to be 3x the amount of the ram speed.

In general the CPU NB clock should be at least three times the Memory clock
(example in case of DDR3-1600: 3 x 800MHz = 2400MHz NB clock)

Hi, are you changing the NB voltage, or the CPU-NB voltage ? im confused :confused:, been learning a lot reading this thread, still waiting for the Mugen 2 cooler before i start overclocking,

Thanks

PC3-12800C7 1600MHz 7-7-7-24, but the Asus M4A79XTD can only run it at 8-7-7-24, unless they fix it in a new bios update.

i don't think a new bios update will fix it tbh, i can't even get my ram stable at 7-7-7-20 1.7v which is stock, but it need 1.75v to get 90% stable and 1.8v for 100% stable. but im not happy with keeping it at 1.8v.
