MQ1hunter Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Operating System MS Windows 7 64-bit SP1 CPU AMD Phenom II X4 965 37 °C , core voltage 1.376 Deneb 45nm Technology RB-C3 RAM 4.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 668MHz (9-9-9-24) Mushkin, Dc mode UnGanged, dual channel, NB Frequency 20003.9 mhz FSB: DRAM 3:10 Motherboard ASRock 890FX Deluxe3 (CPUSocket) Graphics LCM-19w4 @ 1440x900 W2453 @ 1920x1080 ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series Hard Drives 78GB Seagate ST380815AS ATA Device (Unknown Interface) 30 °C 488GB Western Digital WDC WD5000AAJS-22TKA0 ATA Device (IDE) 29 °C 733GB Western Digital WDC WD7501AALS-00J7B1 ATA Device (IDE) 28 °C Optical Drives ATAPI iHES208 2 ATA Device Audio SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio I have been determined to get this board to overclock... a litany of woe. This project started with a Phenom X3 that flat refused to go over 3.0 ghz... Same with the X4 till I rest the bios, at least now it runs at default 3.4. From what I can tell what changed was the memory timings from 7-9-7-24... So after searching a scrawlling notes on a tablet I have gotten nowhere, I cannot seem to find the balance it likes, I know the CPU runs at 3,.8 cause it was in a Gigabyte board. At one point found this link, http://www.techreaction.net/forums/showthread.php?t=367, but anything here and the dang thing wont even boot. Appreciate and New Thoughts or directions....

Black64 Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 I don't know anything about that mobo but i know that ASrock is well not the best brand for mobos. But I have heard the mem timings can be fixed by updating the bios. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 are you overclocking with bclock or multiplier? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MQ1hunter Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 are you overclocking with bclock or multiplier? Multiplier.. but it seems a FSB / Memory issue??? I have had 3.6 work for a bout 4 hrs after 1/2 using prime. I watch all temps so not heat... Keeping the memory on Auto seems to help? when adjusting CPU Voltage and FSB multiplier ( tweaking voltage also) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drdeath Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) I don't know anything about that mobo but i know that ASrock is well not the best brand for mobos. But I have heard the mem timings can be fixed by updating the bios. Black, I have no idea where you got this information but the ASRock 890FX boards are great and overclock like a banshee. ASRock has a reputation for great motherboards. I got 4.5Ghz stable on a Phenom II 975 and a suicide OC of 4.7GHz on custom water. On Air, I got 4.3Ghz(Aftermarket) http://www.pureoverc...id=1267&page=10 Edited April 25, 2011 by Drdeath Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Run memory at stock with timings of 9/9/9/24/1T. Disable cool n quiet and all power saving features. Run Hypertransport at 2000 MHz and NB frequency no more than 2600MHz to start. Vcore 1.48-1.55V depending on temps and CPU/NB voltage at 1.25V to 1.325V. What revision of the 965 do you have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
