These babies are nice to say the least. This is a week 42 3000+ Winchester which defaults to 9X200. I use way to much voltage at the moment, but i'm just trying to stress the cpu as much as possible. Stock amd heatsink/fan. Ambient is 20c.

    Nice, Mack!

    I was reading over at Extreme yesterday and I see that I need to swap slots with my ddr for better overclocking with my 9NDA3+. Hopefully the hardware for my 948-U will be coming in from Thermalright in the next few days so I can have some high end air cooling on my Winny 3000+. I'll be able to check the week of manufacture then too.

    Nice! :thumbsup: What Mobo & Ram Combo?

    This is the MSI NEO2 and a pair of OCZ EB 3700. I use a divider to test the cpu since the multi is maxed at 9X

    Mudd, what ram did you have?

    Mack, I have a gig of the OCZ 3200 Plat Rev 2. I'm presently stable at 265 fsb in slots 1 and 2, but I have the timings relaxed at 3-4-4-10 and 1T command. I know the ram should do tighter timings than that but I was seeing what kind of fsb I could get stable at. It looks like I might have gotten 1 of the few 9NDA3+ boards that's relatively stable with 512 TCCD in slots 1 and 2. My present holdup is me waiting for the mounting hardware for the SLK948-U to come in from Thermalright. I haven't run Prime95 yet but it's Gromacs folding stable at that speed.

    Good call mudd. Always check the limits of the memory/chipset before doing work on the cpu. While you are at it, use the 166 divider, drop the LTD to 3 and rise the HTT to the frequency (about 310-320) where the ram is the same and stable as now and run Prime. You might have to drop the multi for that but it's a great tool to check the clockability of the cpu's memorycontroller that way. Use cpu-z to check the true memory frequency, both bios and the post screen lie about the frequency.

    Mudd, i MAY have a a special bios for you soon :D

    Hey, a special bios sounds good to me, Mack! :thumbsup: What's it got, move volts on the vcore and vdimm I hope? :D

    Well, my Thermalright hardware came in this afternoon and I mounted the 948-U on my A64 and what a difference it's making. I don't know how accurate the temps are on this 9NDA3+ are but my CPU load temp is like 2C higher than the case temp right now, folding it's butt off. :thumbsup: Now that I have some decent cooling I'm ready to get a little more adventurous with it. :D

    BTW, is that the nforce3 ultra board? Also, what's your temps like?

    Here's where I'm presently at. I checked and my Winny is a week 36 and it does seem like it has problems with Prime95. :( But it is folding stable at this speed and my 948-U has made a tremendous difference in cooling. :thumbsup:
