Prime 95

[pcenvy88]

I've been overclocking and stabilizing all weekend. I have a 1090T and every time I run AMD Overdrive's stability test for an hour it finds no problems.

I can run Prime 95 blend & large fft's tests for a few minutes until worker #5 stops working due to: FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.5 expected 0.4 or less.

I've read people posting similar issues a while back on here but none of them had huge success fixing it.

What I am wondering is if I can continue running the torture test with that one worker down or should I stop and fix it first? I upped my RAM voltage from MFG Suggested voltage of 1.5 to 1.6.

I am over clocked from 3.2 to 3.8 can upload screenshots from Overdrive in a little bit.

Just ran blend test for about 2 hours now and it crashed my computer. Will report back with actual BSOD error next time it happens.

Biostar A880G+
Phenom II X6 1090T
2x4gb g.Skill RAM 9-9-9-24 @ 1333

You need to fix the issue or you're just wasting your time. The link below may help you find the right BIOS settings for your OC?

sorry ... overclock use AMD overdrive in high OC not worth , i don"t recommend use this for High Overclock,
Use Bios for HIGH OC ..

 

[pcenvy88]

Sorry I meant to add that tidbit. I am OC'ing in BIOS 100%. Just using Overdrive to view actual performance. Also using CPU-Z along with other applications.

 

[henydiah]

hmm ... so yes ... and whether it has been stable Prime95 test 4 Hours

 

[pcenvy88]

@beenthere i read that whole post. actually whole thread. thank you, the information was outstanding and has really helped me understand a lot more. I have pretty much everything he suggests for the 1090T and still i have rounding errors in P95. I have 1.39 core voltage with 210MHz for bus speed. My multiplier is set at 18 getting a cpu speed of 3.78

My HT link speed is at 2100MHz and my ram timings are at 9-9-9-24 @1.5 volts (default RAM settings)

@henydiah thats my problem. I test in 95 and it doesnt last 10 minutes before a worker fails

 

[henydiah]

- how can I help fix it ... if you're still using AOD ..? though many will be done in the Bios does not just raise the lower voltage. but need more tweak disabled or enabled
- and what the detail spec system used including brand mobo, psu?
- and the CPU cooler you use ?

 

[pcenvy88]

Your not reading my posts correctly. I said I am overclocking in the bios. I am just using AOD to monitor performance...

I also previously stated that I have a Biostar A880G+ with AMI bios v.080016 (thats the version reported by cpu-z) It is the second newest BIOS for this board and I rolled back because of problems with the newer version.

I have the stock heatsink on the 1090T because I haven't seen numbers rise over 53 degrees.

My power supply is a 650w cooler master.

Now I am getting hyper transfer sync flood errors (was getting these earlier) if I play a graphic intensive game for too long. I tried setting my FSB back to 200 and lowering the multiplier to 17.

Will check to see if this helps anything out... would like some more advice/suggestions if anyones got any.

 

[henydiah]

if you will se peformance use Syssoftsandra / Aida64 it's good and with stock heatsink you can't get 3.5Ghz above ...
i suggest get after market cooler if you want get 4Ghz .. minimum Hyper 212 or other

 

[pcenvy88]

Cooling is not my problem.... I've ran at 3.8 ghz for full load for a few hours straight at 50 degrees.

Can anyone else help me out with what I need. I went all the way back to Optimal defaults to start over and after few hours of gameplay I still get hyper transfer error

 

[henydiah]

Go bios , press F9 and safe. / or remove your battery mobo (need unplug power ac from psu )

 

[pcenvy88]

I've tried clearing CMOS... I've tried loading optimal defaults. The problem is greater than that. I'm starting to think its a PSU issue.

My 12v = 11.9

+5v= 4.857

 

[henydiah]

No .. It's normal , I have corsair vx550 92% efficiency show +12=11.63v when fulload 11.58.
Yes your +5v drop but still ok.

 

[pcenvy88]

Alright. I think I'm going to try and boost the cpu voltage up to 1.5. Still getting freezes to black screens while playing bad company 2 over a half hour.

 

[henydiah]

Drop your oc to 3.5 ghz try play in tis condition
In 3.8ghz need many tweak disabled like : powernow / cool n quite , spread spectrum, C1E , turbo core,
Vram at 1.62 - 1.65 just suggestion

 

[grahamie]

Bring you ht speed up to as close to the nb speed as it will let you without exceeding it
If that’s not the issue then try running the ram at 1333 as the 1090t imc is only 1333 (amd requested I run native 1333 ram for all tests )
If still nothing then you could try turning off the core or cores that fail during your torture test (if your motherboard will let you)
I had to do this testing with amd to establish that i had burnt out my imc on my 1090t. Amd blames overclocked ram for my burnt up cores ( anything over 1333 is considered over clocked ram) best of luck I hope this helps solve your issue

 

[pcenvy88]

I have my ram set to 1333 already as thats all mother board is rated for. My nb speed is 2.4GHz and my ht speed is 2.0GHz... I don't know if those are set too high but I've pretty much ruled out at this point that its a heating issue. I run AOD's stability test fine for 12 hours @ 52 degrees. Prime gets it up to 62 degrees and thats when I get the reboot. I am investing in aftermarket cooling very soon

 

[henydiah]

good idea, get aftermarket cooler, I suggest leave AOD forget it, Use Prime95 only. You must focus on test if want succes

1.125-1.40V is your spec voltage and you've used 1.5 to 1.6v, with a stock air cooler?

What exactly is your goal here?

To burn up your CPU?

You seem to be under a mirage attack and firing in all directions hoping to hit something, well at this point it appears you're beginning to learn something.

If you intend to overclock, you need a good aftermarket cooling solution, that's a No Brainer, especially with the voltages you've already used.

Of course you can always take the cheap route and go with old faithful, that's 10 times better than what you're presently using.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103065

This is one of the top air coolers, listed in Frosty Tech's lineup for AMD, and I own one myself and it out performs the Cooler Master, I have that one also.

If you intend overclocking a dependable power supply should be in the build planning, you want quality, not a power supply to run gramdmas email rig.

Cooler Master makes great CPU coolers but I wouldn't buy a power supply from them, I would recommend a single 12v rail power supply, your wattage range is just inside the door for your setup, but for overclocking I'd want more stability.

My advice right now is stop what you're doing and get what you need to continue, then go back at it.

What operating system?

To OP; henydiah has been trying to tell you to go ahead and uninstall the AOD, you don't need it running in the background, it's been problematic and buggy for some lately anyway.

Use CPU-Z to monitor OP/SYS output settings and a program like Core Temp for temperatures.

 

[grahamie]

i couldnt agree more ...

I never had my core voltage set above 1.5 I don't know where you read that. I plan on getting water cooling supplies next week when I get paid...

@henydiah, alright I won't use AOD anymore. I was just jusing it after a Prime95 test failed to see how long I could run my CPU at full load, that is all. I was just using it as something that can get me going full load to see where my temperature range is at. I do have a cooling problem and I for sure need to address it. Once I have that covered I will be purchasing a new mobo and PSU. I will report back when those issues are resolved. Thanks a lot henydiah

I have CPU-Z and speedfan running in the background 24/7.

My bad! You were talking RAM there!

Alright. I think I'm going to try and boost the cpu voltage up to 1.5. Still getting freezes to black screens while playing bad company 2 over a half hour.

However here you're talking CPU Voltage 1.5v with a stock cooler! Correct?
