AMD Phenom II X4 960T Black Edition o/c

[Hippie Tech]

Hi.

I have undervolt my 960T with GA-970A-UD3,  it  work´s very well
Only 1.2v  
Full load temp X4 33c  X6 36c

http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=2379852

http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=2386037

works well as X6 3600Mhz with 1.3v

Hio

Thx for getting interested in undervolting lol.. here is what mine can do.

x6 = 3.3ghz 1.25v., 3.5ghz 1.275v., 3.7ghz 1.3v.
x4 = 3.4ghz 1.25v., 3.8ghz 1.3v., 4ghz 1.35v.

How much impressive your 960T is, Hippie !!    Its zosma core is very effective and efficient could you tell us what is its stepping ? (i.e: ccbbe cb 11xx dpm or else...) thanks  In any case your purchase is very worthly

Heyo and ty DarkstaR  Yep I am very fortunate lol..

Gigabyte should get some credit  b/c none of this would be possible without the amazing power management of my 990x. I luv this mobo even though the northbridge does get hot.

The stepping codes are CCBBE CB 1142EPM and check out these temps ! heh..

Room temps were 18-22C, I'm guessing..  4ghz x4 1.35v ...

1.2v is not great difference from default 1.3v, but how did u do it?

H!

How did i do it. I put CPU voltages at 1.2v and ran Prime95 Small FFTs 12 hours 

[DarkstaR]

INCREDIBLE !!   What a bargain, your are very lucky   Indeed my ex-960T was only able to be unlocked as X5 and now my new 1055T 95W edition is overclocked at 14x250 @ 1,375v @ 24/7 @ CNQ enabled... it could be set at 1,35v in idle mode but during benches or heavy games i get blue screens and in order to hit 4,0 Ghz i'm obliged to set its vcore at 1,55v for more stability which is too high for me...

Tbh, I can hardly believe these numbers myself. :p

1.475v is my limit. Call me chicken if you want. heh

Will you be upgrading your mobo anytime soon ? Going from my Asus 790gx to the GA990x added 200mhz to my OCs, while using the same voltages.

And ty for reminding me of my Athlon II x4 630 days.

[DarkstaR]

Yes Hippie those numbers are very impressive... your cpu batch/stepping is worthy  if i'm right my ex-960T was ccbbe cb 1138 dpm... otherwise thanks for advising me to change my mobo in order to get a newer and more performant chipset (990x/fx) but i'm not interested cause this change wouldn't make the bargain (about 150 € mobo + ddr3) only to hit 200-250 mhz higher... moreover i've just changed in february of this year my memory from 2x1 gb Gskill pc2-6400-pk to those marvellous 4x2 gb Geil Black Dragon pc2-8500 which cost me 110 €  ) so i think i will keep my rig about 3-4 years and only change my graphics card when necessary...

I have borrowed a WATTmeter and.....
idle 0,725V 800 Mhz - 80W
in game 1,225V 3000Mhz - 130W

awesome

Those look like x6 numbers to me.

@DarkstaR If DDR2 is not slowing you down then you're good.

OC'ing aside, sata3, usb3 and better HD graphics made it very worth while for me. I wasn't expecting the HD to get better but everything is a bit sharper that it was.

only x4
but those are consumptions of the entire computer ;-)

aaand it was not 3Ghz - 1,225V but only 1,125V

Wow.. I will have to try that right now lol..  brb.. xD

update...

I'm playing it safe b/c BSODs scare me so. :p

On 6 cores it seems Prime95 stable @3ghz, 1.2v.  And on 4 cores 1.150v is okie too.

nice u have really good chip, with x6 I cannot go lower than 1,33V - 3Ghz... seems one of locked cores of mine is kind a defective... :/

Tx again. Not only is it a good cpu, its also BSOD friendly. If the OC is not stable, the benchmark will usually crash back to the desktop. With Prime95, one of the cores will stop and the other 5 will contiune stressing.

Is your ram @1333mhz and/or manually set in the bios ?

How did i do it. I put CPU voltages at 1.2v and ran Prime95 Small FFTs 12 hours 

You mean that either the deafult 1.35V or the modified(from bios?) 1.20V bring the same performance for 960T ?

oh no.... pls not again....
