Need Help with Phenom Voltages (DFI Mobo)

[Assimilator87]

I'm curious as to whether the NB and HT voltages increase if a 9850 or 9950 are used since those run both settings at 2Ghz instead of 1.8Ghz. I have a 9500 and the stock voltages for NB and HT are 1.27 and 1.25. Also, does the HT voltage also determine how high the reference clock (before applying multi) can go? Finally, what and how does changing the SB PLL voltage affect? If Anandtech doesn't have a very big Phenom community, please recommend me some forums that may be better suited for my questions.

Thanks everyone

If you're gonna overclock without using the multiplier (your 9500 can't right?) then yes I think you should up the voltages slightly on the NB and HT (I'm not sure what the stock voltages are on the 9850/9950). I have everything set to stock except the multiplier (200x15=3GHz) and CPU voltage which is set at 1.35v (on stock cooling...gonna push higher once I get my water cooling gear in) and ACC set to auto (I don't think your board has the option). I haven't tried changing the PLL voltage but I think I remembered reading somewhere that it doesn't help overclock. If you can spare the coin get a 9850 or 9950...they're pretty easy to overclock.

Here's some guides:

mine are 1.125 for NB and 1.225 for HT

running at 3.24Ghz with VID of 1.3 for CPU

240x13.5

Hey thilan, would you mind going into your BIOS and seeing what your NB and HT voltages are at stock?

 

[thilanliyan]

Sure but I can't do it right at this very moment...I can do it in a couple of hours.

i also have a 9550 i will check out for you

I could only find NB voltage on mine and it was at stock 1.3v. There wasn't HTT voltage or at least it wasn't called that.
