*** Official AMD Phenom II X6 1055T & 1090T Overclocking Thread ***

Bios 0707 seems to have all the fixes in it.
Doesn't seem to be on the download page though, description is there in bios history though.
Need to find it and try it out.

Temp monitoring is a real mess on the P2's.
More you read about it the more muddy the water becomes.

Certainly having a program say your temp is 49C while it may be 68C is not a good situation.
Many folks trust programs such as CoreTemp and if they are getting it wrong big time it is not a good scenario.
 
Either way, keep both temps below 62c lol.
I'm LinX 2500MB 20 running now at 4050MHZ.
If this passes, I'm priming.


Either way I look at it, my air cooling's frigging good lol. I can't wait to finish it off.

but we can't think that phenom II sensors must be same layout as intel.

amd must know as it's they product

Been searching, people seem to ask and never get a definitive answer, not saying its same as Intels, just making an observation as to how they do it.

Just seems odd to me, for AMD's own program to report the "core" temp, yet they say to keep cpu temp within spec :confused:
 
You're talking AOD?
I was told from a mate of mine it's the Core one to pay attention to..

Tbf, Phenom II's seem to give up the ghost when there thermal limitations are met, as long as it's stable.. It's fine imo lol.
 
while googling AMD PII and RAM I came across a Toms Hardware item benching the various speeds and settings .. appears there is little benefit to 1600Mhz ram over 1333Mhz unless the 1600 has equally tight timings .. thats a generalisation of course

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/phenom-ii-ddr3,2319-8.html

to quote it

Our general opinion of high-end memory is pretty straightforward: premium RAM is highly important if you’re trying to squeeze the last bit of performance out of your system. In such a case you may even require high-end RAM to be able to support hardcore overclocked processor settings. However, the performance benefit delivered just by the main memory is typically small, making premium memory a must-have primarily for the affluent enthusiast market-only.

Our results show that faster memory and quicker timings both introduce performance advantages that are mostly visible in synthetic benchmarks, while the impact on real-life performance usually is small. Games benefit just a little, and you need applications that intensively tax the memory to find serious performance benefits.

While DDR3-1600 operating under tight timings will undoubtedly give you the best performance, and DDR3 below 1066 should not be used for the sake of performance, the best compromise clearly is DDR3-1333 at reasonable timings. In most benchmarks, the difference between 1600 and 1333 speeds is negligible, but 1333 would still give you a larger benefit than the tiny gap between 1333 and 1600. In addition, DDR3-1333 is about to become the performance mainstream level, meaning acceptable prices for low-latency memory kits.

end quote

no sure the article is relevant as it maybe old

if you look at the benchies early in the review it shows milliseconds difference that wont show in the real world I would have thought.... so if having RAM troubles run it at 1333Mhz for better stability and less strain on the IMC

as for the temps ... mine tend to stay under 50C in normal everyday use but I would still like to know what TMPIN2 is as thats averaging 10C higher than the cpu temp

hope all that isnt gibberish and completely inaccurate or I will look an even worse noob :eek:

:D

2.Enhance gaming performance.
3.Enable the support of DDRIII-2000 under full 4 DIMM configuration when using Thuban processor.
4.Enhance SATA6G performance
5.Enable fix CPU multiplier for 6-core processor when disabling [Cool and Quiet] in BIOS.




[ 0801 ]
----------------------
Improve memory compatibility



[ 0701 ]
----------------------
Improve the stability of certain hard drives.



[ 0602 ]
