been tweakin' the Dragon... platform that is

[Plimogz]

I was getting a application crash in PCMARK Vantage - TV and Movies Suite on my X3 720 OCed to 3.6ish and applying +4% ACC to all cores fixed it; no more crashes @ that same frequency...

...what I'm getting at is: Weren't there AMD engineers on record saying that all of Spider's bios ACC goodness had been "baked into" Dragon? and thus ACC was pretty much useless with PhII? (setting aside the crazy unlocking goodness, of course)

These 45nm Phenoms really are full of rather nice surprises! I hadn't had this much fun since Socket A days.

makes me nostalgic about chasin' the dragon...

may have to fire up a little amd again...

+2 to +4% ACC appears to add a little stability on Phenom II, at least in some cases. ACC itself is supposed to be "baked in", but enabling it creates these interesting side-effects. I've never seen a good explanation on how/why this occurs, though.

Yeah ACC works well on the Phenom II processors. I personally have to use -4% on my setup.

Weird ....

I wouldnt exactly *ever* recomend messing with ACC unless you enjoy reseting your CMOS via jumper. You could get lucky, or end up with a poor chip like mine; which dose not know its head from its a** when ACC is on.
