bobenjanneke Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Hi there, First of all, I'm new here. I hope this post is on the right place. I'm running a M2N-E, x4 965BE and 3GB pc6400 at a stock cooler. The whole thing is build in a Corsair 750D. I am just playing with my settings in the bios, and put the frequency at 200 and the multiplier to 27. So its running 5.4Ghz. What program can I use to look it is stable? Thank you for your answers!

Mr.Scott Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) 965 @ 5.4 on a stock cooler? Sorry, but I don't believe you. M2N-E doesn't even support a 965. Edited December 22, 2013 by Mr.Scott Quote

bobenjanneke Posted December 22, 2013 Author Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) Give me the name of a stress program and i run it to prove it! Edited December 22, 2013 by bobenjanneke Quote
Massman Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Temperature hardly changes, I think your overclock might not have been applied by the bios. The average overclock on water cooling for a 965 Phenom is only 4.1GHz. Maybe check performance with Wprime32M. You'll know quickly. Quote

bobenjanneke Posted December 22, 2013 Author Posted December 22, 2013 I know i have the laughers on my hand... But look the picture. Quote
bobenjanneke Posted December 22, 2013 Author Posted December 22, 2013 Hmm.... Core speed: 803mhz multiplier: x 4.0 ( 20 - 20 ) Busspped: 200mhz Quote
bobenjanneke Posted December 22, 2013 Author Posted December 22, 2013 In the bios, he says when 20 x 200 = 4ghz, when 27 x 200 = 5.4ghz. The power ( voltage ) settings are all on auto. At properties on computer, he says the same Ghz's..... Put on OCCT, AIDA64, PC Wizard 2013, CPU-Z, it's all on 800mhz.... Quote
GENiEBEN Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 M2N will hold 5.4ghz oc's at the same time as MSI implements proper VRMs on their boards. It is at 800mhz because it failed to apply the OC and selects lowest multiplier available as fail-safe. Also disable CPU C'n'Q in bios and in Windows set Power Settings to High Performance. Quote
d3mox Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 It could be similar bug as was on FM1 with shadow multiplier. Quote
Mr.Scott Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 HP OEM mobo besides. Gimme a break. lol Quote
No1Spank Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Try a program called OCCT, if you can run the default stress test for 30 minutes you are golden. Don't run for hours on end as you will burn out the VRM's on the board, few games are likely to stress your cpu and memory as much as OCCT. Keep an eye on your temps you don't want the CPU much over 60 degrees C because the VRM's will probably be at least 5 degrees higher. At 5.0ghz I doubt your 965 will run OCCT for 2 minutes, but it might run a few benchmarks like Cinebench. Quote
No1Spank Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) Oops! Didn't read second page I see you have OCCT, maybe you have particularly golden samples of board and processor. Check it doesn't throttle during stress test, my FX 8120 used to all the time on my old board. Edited January 11, 2014 by No1Spank Quote
