Then how does one OC it. With both the FSB and multiplier locked..?

re: Overclock List & Discussion Thread
I m going to buy either HD5850 or HD5870 for Phenom 2 940 & put my GTX 260 in to Intel one may be Q6600 from my friend .
I am going to dismantle the GTX260 , cause its comes with 3rd party cooler which i dont like most

@ asigh AMD proc's have had an integrated memory controller since a long time, something which Intel has only since core i7. So, AFAIK, just like you OC the core i7 920, which has no FSB and no unlocked multiplier, same way its for the AMD proccy's. I have not oc'ed my proc yet so I can't help you with this much as of now.

re: Overclock List & Discussion Thread
It would be better to mate the 5870 (if you get it) to the high-end i7s. There are issues of CPU bottle necks. Though even if you use a Phenom 2 940 or P55 i5/i7 or even a high end Quad you will get phenomenal performance -- but you will not extract all the power from the 5870. And is not that..what we all want. To squeeze every drop from our systems..and then take it a bit beyond.
Ok...did a bit of research. For the X58 chipset unless you have the extreme edition i7s the multiplier and FSB is locked. The QPI has to be changed, and that is done using the Base Clock. BCLK. Once the BCLK is changed it moves the QPI speed respectively. But voltages and RAM timings can still be manually changed -- if the chips need extra power.
Could anyone place the procedure here for AMD chips. Or if they want they can make a similiar chart like have (use Visio). Else I can make a chart for AMD chips - if someone can tell me a detailed method.

re: Overclock List & Discussion Thread
I got this Phenom 2 940 cause some day i wud sure OC over 5Ghz , cause Phenom 2 940 Hold the record of 5.5ghz using H20 .
All i need is vantage points any ways i should touch 45000 to 50000 in vantage mark . GTX 295 3 ways is to costly for me & GTX 295 i cant OC much ! i need to wait until HD5870X2 should be launched
Till now 44750 vantage mark is the Highest scored with Phenom 2 on 6.8Ghz with HD4870X2 - it wud be worth to get HD5870X2 , so i can manage to save to money for Higher end proccy .
Anil - i dont think Corei7 920 compared to Q9550 & 940 dint do much performance in OCing , Though i7 920 cannot be pushed over 4-4.2 even with higher End cooling !

re: Overclock List & Discussion Thread
Its not about the OCing factor. Its how fast the CPU can feed the data to the GPU. Prior to this it used to get bottle necked due to the North Bridge. The QPI has corrected that, so more data can flow via tha x16 channels.

Will go up higher, but later, when I push pull my TRUE. Currently operating my TRUE with Delta 120CFM fan, will push pull soon after I acquire some zip ties.

re: Overclock List & Discussion Thread
And I have a 17" CRT box monitor, and I have kept the resolution of the image somewhere around 800 pixels wide. It is not stretching the image at all.
Thumbs need an added click, so I never post them, although mobile users will want to attack me for saying this.
You should not have quoted my image topgear. That is a waste of bandwidth.Listed it on 1st page
BTW, If possible post thumbs of this big images - have mercy on mobile and netbook users and those who don't have wide screen monitors

re: Overclock List & Discussion Thread
Anyway, next time around, I'll try and lessen the resolution. Btw, now I am at 3616MHz, but I can't get it stable even after pushing vcore to 1.392V. I think I'll google up some AM2+ overclocking guides. :s
This is strange, as I am on FF and my screen resolution is 1152x864.yup - but on the previous page the image was the only thing that I can mention. and for the image resolution I've to scroll horizotally to see it correctly @ 1366 screen width and I'm using opera

re: Overclock List & Discussion Thread
Did AMD also specified some speed limit with 1.45V vcore ??
If you have proper cooling you can safely pump u 1.5V - If you want to achive a certain speed then OC does not always stays within manufacturers specified limit.
Take a look at these :
*ixbtlabs.com/articles3/cpu/phenom-2-overclocking-p1.html
*www.techspot.com/review/142-phenom2-overclocking/page2.html
So phenom II X4 940BE requires that much voltage ie around 1.5v to reach 3.6 GHz and beyond and for cooling I think it's safe upto 3.6 GHz with good air cooler
Here what tom's hardware guys are saying :
