xxpaigexx Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 Hi there, I am a complete noob when it comes to OCing but i am trying to learn something from this awsome forum but i see here lots of xperienced and cool people who are able to tap a lot of power out of their AMD machines !! So if you can guide me here and tell me what settings i need to use using ur vast knowledge it would be AWSOME !! Heres the Specs of my RIG 1)Motherboard: Gigabyte 890GPA-UD3H 2)SMPS: Coolermaster rs 600 pcar e3 3)Processor:AMD phenom ii x6 1090T 4)RAM: 2x corosair cmx4gx3m1a1600c9 (total 8gb ram) 5)Processor cooling system:cooler master v6gt 6)Cabinet: HAF 922 with 2 extra fans ( top and right side panel) Also i am posting my current CPU-Z specs DO PLEASE HELP ME OUT HERE GUYS !! I ALSO WANNA BE A PROUD OWNER OF A SUPER FAST PHENOM X6 JUST LIKE U Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyamdfanboi Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 i havent oc'd a cpu with an unlocked multiplier.. but im pretty sure its as simple as raising the multi little by little till it crashes, then go back one and then stress test it.. see how u go.. then if ur not happy with the result u can introduce voltage to the cpu.. little by little of course.. always cheacking ur temps to make sure u dont destroy ur chip... i think the max is suppose to be around 67 degrees.. also noticed ur memory freq isnt right.. its at 1033mhz.. ull need to raise that as well. its also got a multi.. i think for 1600mhz ram its suppose to be at 8x MAKE SURE U CHECK UR TEMPS AS U GO A LONG! ITS VITAL! any questions post it up.. also as u move along ur overclocking stages, take some photos so we can see what ur settings are Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpj Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 also noticed ur memory freq isnt right.. its at 1033mhz.. ull need to raise that as well. its also got a multi.. i think for 1600mhz ram its suppose to be at 8x It's also running in single channel. I'm assuming that your ram is on auto, so make sure that when/if you do adjust it to 1600mhz that you also adjust the timings and voltage. I'm sure someone will eventually chime in with a Phenom II OC guide that you can do some reading/research so you can grasp the concept more of what you're doing. Overall its pretty easy with a black edition CPU, but you should still put a little time into learning before just cranking up the multi and voltage IMO.

Savan Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 its been a while since I went poking around in my bios, but the easiest way to OC the1090t is to increase the cpu multi. stock voltages should be able to get you to 3.6ghz with no problem. 3.8 might need a bump to the v-core I'm at 3.8 with a v-core of 1.4 I dont like my cpu getting above 40*c, so I stopped there, but I think you can run 1.5 v-core pretty safely as long as you have the temp in check.

Meteora Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) Phenom 1090T is a pain to overclock for some people, more so then not. I'm currently running one and cant push it past 4.0 stable. Here are my settings and system setup below if you wanna go off it for testing MSI 890FXA-GD70 AM3 1.10 Bios AMD Phenom II x6 1090T x2 Crossfired XFX ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB @ 900/1300 Corsair Dominator 16GB DDR-3 1333 (9-9-9-24 666.7MHz) CMP16GX3M4A1333C9 Corsair H100 Extreme Cpu Cooler Corsair Force 3 Series 120GB 2.5IN SATA3 6GB/S SSD x2 Seagate Baracuda 500GB 32mb 7200rpm SATA2 Coolermaster 750W GX Series PSU 80+ Cert (I know i should probably get something better to OC and run the system) Coolermaster HAF 932 x2 230MM @ 700Rpm x3 120MM, x2 Corsair H100 fans @ 2150rpm, x1 Coolermaster R4 Sicklestream @ 2000 Temps don't push past 49c running Prime 95 Large FTT (For heat) - 30 Mins Temps don't push past 47c running Prime 95 Blend - 30 Mins For some reason its showing on the SPD tab the timing it can use at 9-10-10-25, But i've also read to ignore that kind of reading and go with the manufac settings on the sticker for stability... I might be wrong. I'm sort of a noob when it comes to ram timings and voltage for it, which for mine is apparently 9-9-9-24 @ 1.6 CPU Multiplier x20 @ 4.0GHz NB Multiplier x** @ 3000MHz CPU-VDD @ 1.4875 (Was previously at 1.5125) CPU Voltage @ 1.510 (Was previously at 1.525) CPU-NB VDD @ 1.300 (Was previously at 1.350) CPU NB Voltage @ Auto NB Voltage @ Auto CPU PLL Voltage @ 2.224 (Was previously at 2.554, read about it increasing stability, by bumping it a bit from stock) DRAM Voltage @ 1.600 (Stock voltage apparently according to the sticker, but had to set it manually along with the timings because out of the box it wasn't running at 1.6v 1333MHz, or 9-9-9-24) HT Clock x10 @ 2000MHz HT Link Voltage @ 1.25 (My HT isn't overclocked, infact i under-clocked it back to 2000 from 2600 after a lot of reading and benchmark reviews seems more harm then good and less performance comes from your HT when its over 2k, I added .500 volts to it just to make sure it stay's stable stock is 1.2) SB Voltage @ 1.25 (Bumped voltage from stock to assure stability, no downside to bumping it a bit) -- Now if anyone reading this can suggest what i need to push to get my 4.1 stable then please do so. Because i can get it run stable for about 15 mins, and then get errors running Prime 95 Blend. Mostly the rounding error 0.5 expecting 0.4 etc. Settings below are for my 4.1 Clock CPU Multiplier x20.5 @ 4.1GHz NB Multiplier x** @ 3000MHz CPU-VDD @ 1.5250 CPU Voltage @ 1.530 CPU-NB VDD @ 1.350 CPU NB Voltage @ Auto NB Voltage @ Auto CPU PLL Voltage @ 2.554 DRAM Voltage @ 1.600 HT Clock x10 @ 2000MHz HT Link Voltage @ 1.25 SB Voltage @ 1.25 I'm assuming its either a bad 1090T chip, or my PSU cant handle it. But reading. People say the rounding error is from a NB/Ram issue if you're running the blend test. But that confuses me cause i dont error out at 4.0 and the temps are about the same Edited August 10, 2011 by Meteora Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) I wouldn't push it too hard - that motherboard only has 4-phase power for the CPU. After nearly blowing a board trying to run a STOCK X6 in BluePanda's rig (which has 4 phase power but no heatsinks on the VRMs) I'd suggest not going over 1.5 volts at all for your OC. http://www.overclock.net/amd-motherboards/946407-amd-motherboard-vrm-information-list.html Good reading here: http://www.overclock.net/amd-cpus/943109-about-vrms-mosfets-motherboard-safety-125w.html Edited August 10, 2011 by Waco 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxpaigexx Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 BIG THANKS TO EVERYONE HERE FOR REPLYING TO ME AND ALSO TRYING TO HELP ME OUT HERE !!! Btw guys i did this went into bios and disabled Turbo boost mode, as well as Coon N Quiet and C1E. then into Windows Control Panel>Power schemes and switched from Power Saving to Performance. and a stress testing for 36 mins and this is what i got !! guys do gimme more advice also if possible to gimme an optimum settings so that my OC can be stable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyamdfanboi Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 well if u had followed what i told u in the 1st reply.. u wouldve found ur stable clocks by now.. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
imm0rt41 Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 well if u had followed what i told u in the 1st reply.. u wouldve found ur stable clocks by now.. lol They could have also done damage to their CPU. I don't understand how people think you can just slap someone else's settings on your machine and expect it to work. Sure, it will sometimes, but each machine is different, so each machine should be OCed accordingly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyamdfanboi Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 which is why u should read my post.. i didnt tell them for any settings.. at all.. infact i told them to do it the proper way.. see how far u can get on stock voltages, which doesnt damage ... then up the voltage one step at a time till ur happy.. u should never slap on someones settings and hope they work.. might be too much for ur chip. maybe next time u should read what others write Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
