My system is feeling painfully slow. When I built it last year, I got what I considered an affordable high-end setup. I've never been very happy with the performance.

My current specs:
AMD 9950 2.6GHz BE 125w
ASUS M3A79-T
750W power supply
ATI Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 1GB
8GB DDR2 RAM 1066
2 Seagate 7200rpm internal drives (1TB and 1.5TB)
Windows 7 64-bit RC (previously used Vista Ultimate 64)
LIAN LI PC-60BPLUSII Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

This is the first computer I ever built, so maybe I missed a step somewhere? I updated the motherboard when I first built it. ATI drivers are up to date.

RAM has never run at 1066. System is always LOUD (fans, especially when editing video. This makes it very hard to work). There is also a faint high pitched sound for the first few minutes on boot, which I have never been able to track down.

Any advice? I want to run this system optimally. My 6 year old Pentium 4 computer boots faster and runs smoother. Obviously, something is wrong.

If you assume it's in the same orientation, to increase the 133MHz FSB to 166MHz L1_CADOUT_L[3] is connected to VSS.
Then, to get it up to 200MHz, L1_CADOUT_L[3] is connected to L1_CLKOUT_L[1] and VSS.
.........VSS->
......^L1_CADOUT_L[3]->

Looks like it could work, if it's getting power from VSS.. I really don't know what I'm doing though.

Temp on Load (100% on all 4 cores): 46 deg cel.

15 minute Prime 95 test and AMD Overdrive Stability Test are stable @ 46 deg cel.

Now comes the problem. At this point, I increase Voltage to 1.5V, and do ONE of the following:
1) Increase HT Ref Clock to 215Mhz
2) Increase HT Multiplier to x20

Either ways, within 5min of running a stability test, computer restarts. Temperature at time of restart is around 48 deg. cel.

Why is this happening? Phenom II x4 965 is supposed to have a threshold temp of about 62 deg cel. I am nowhere close.

UPDATE:

After making this post, I re-ran a stress test at Overclock Attempt #1 settings, and it ran successfully for 15min at 46 deg. cel.
After the test was completed, I waited for temperatures to come down again. In AMD Overdrive I increased multiplier to x20, increased voltage to 1.5V and hit apply. The changes were made as reflected by CPUZ. At this point, temperature had come down to 38 degrees, each core was at 10% load or less and I hadn't started the stability test yet, when the PC crashed and restarted.
NOw, why in God's name would that happen? There was no load, temperature was 38 deg.!]]> http://forums.amd.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=13&threadid=121927 2009-11-12T10:58:16 -05.00 sgtfoo 4

The memory controller for AMD is inside of the CPU. The memory controller for the Athlon 64 CPUs is only rated for 800MHz. A lot of them will do higher but some won`t. If the memory will not do 800MHz than it shouldn`t have anything to do with the board. The board is just telling the controller inside the CPU what to do and 428 is already above what AMD officially rates it for. Go to http://www.amd.com/us/products...eature-comparison.aspx and scroll down to Integrated DDR Memory Controller. You can see that the only Athlon X2s rated for over 800 are the 7000 series.

I try to upgrade my PC every 2-3 years with good 'bang for buck' components. In other words I'm not bothered with getting the absolute latest & greatest, just descent components at a decent price.

To that end I've identified the Phenom II 955 as an exceptionally good value CPU. I would appreciate recommendations on good value compatible motherboards and RAM. My vague requirements are as follows:

Overclocking - Do not plan to overclock

Integrated Graphics - Not required (will use a separate graphics card)

SLI / crossfire - Not required (only plan to use one graphics card)

Integrated audio - I would prefer integrated audio (no plans to buy a separate sound card)

CPU power connector - My current PSU has a 4 pin connector. I would prefer not to buy a new PSU if possible so 4 pin mobos would be preferable.

AM2+ / AM3 - OK, as I understand things AM3 is required for DDR3 RAM. Some things I've read suggest that DDR3 isn't really worth it. Is that true? Also, is it just me or have RAM prices gone up alot since the last time I looked (2-3 years ago)?

Any advice would be really appreciated!]]> http://forums.amd.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=13&threadid=121620 2009-11-06T03:14:30 -05.00 mmetechsupport 2 but after i installed in my pc and run my CPUID program (www.cpuid.com)
