Default Re: Phenom 940 past 3.7 stable?

k first off, i'd put a 40mm fan on the NB (if u havent done so already; it runs hot). it will drop the temps down and keep ambient case air down.

flash to 1/16 beta (flash it twice through dos so you get the remnants of the old bios out: load optimised defaults -> go to dos to flash -> load optimised defaults -> go to dos to flash -> load optimised defaults -> save -> power off -> unplug -> wait for light to go out on mobo -> press power a few times to discharge -> set clear CMOS jumper -> wait 15 mins -> set it back -> plug in -> power up -> load optimised defaults -> save -> go back in.

after loading optimised defaults. press f9 to get to advanced screen. disable tlb fix and cnq.

set vdimm 2.0v.

for your 8g of memory: set Manual-1066, then save and go back in, then set: 2T-5-6-6-24-30-195-195-195-195, save and go back in (making sure you can POST).

set your NB to 2.0GHZ, and set CPU-NB volt to 1D or 1C (might need the 1C due to 8g mem.). set HT to 1.8GHZ.
set CPU: P-State to 1 or 2 (test them both along the way). set +50mv. set x16 multiplier (3.2GHZ). you can also test PCI-E: 101MHZ.

download and install occt: http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=214

now make the climb (multiplier only) and only add voltage as needed. keep in mind that you may have to add vdimm as well to keep stable (as with vcore, be sparing). leave all the other voltages alone. keep it under 60c core (what occt displays), and under 55c socket (what ITE smartguardian displays).

i'd use infinite so u can stop and start it in spurts while climbing, and it will go straight to 99%, instead of idling for a bit then putting the load on.

once your done with the multiplier, you can then work on the NB speed. raise and add voltage as needed. use this hex table for voltage selection: http://www.csd.dficlub.org/forum/sho...80&postcount=1

after your done with NB, you can then raise your HT to hopefully meet your NB. after your done with that, you can try some slight HTT adjustment. ya never know!

you should run in the end occt for 7h30m+. if it can do that, you should be in good shape.

good luck
