Phenom ll 940

[Slay]

I'm not sure what the deal is but my new 940 doesn't get a good benchmark ! I don't know if there is a setting in the BIOS that needs attention or what, My 9950 got a better score than this 940 and I know that isn't right ! The 9950 was @ 2.6or 2.8GHz don't remember and the 940 is @ 3.0GHz so I know I have something not right. I had to update my BIOS for the 940 to be recognised, I had allready updated all the drivers for my board trying to crossfire the 4870's ( Still waiting on my new power supply, not quite done with the Radions just yet) Whatever the problem is I wonder if it is the culprit behind my crossfire not working ? All suggestions welcome !

Well I went in the BIOS and my HT Link was set to 200, I put it on Auto and now my score is better without OC'ing 13,236 I will post my OC numbers when I get to it, probably tomorrow. Thanks

Hey all :wave: I got my new power supply yesterday and put it in but that didn't fix my crossfire problem. 950W Zumax, I'm currently waiting on a reply from Gygabyte tech support to see if I can find out something, I looked on ATI's approved motherboard list and my board wasn't on there (one of the questions I asked Gygabyte was, Why wasn't it ?) I mean, I bought the board because on the web site it says it supports crossfirex and Hybrid, it also says it has two PCI-Ex16 and it does unless you use two cards then both are PCI-Ex8 not mentioned on the site. I'm thinking that might have something to do with my crossfirex or lack there of.

For all the people that have the AMD platform you should look for AMDOverDrive software, it's great for OverClocking and there is even a novice interface to do the tweaking for you...(Voltages, HT and multipliers) just move the slider and POW :D I'm thinking about trying that route myself to see if there is something I'm missing as far as OverClocking.
