**LETS SEE YOUR PILEDRIVER OVERCLOCKS - LET ME START WITH 5GHz+!!**

Folks some of you need to venture out more.

What Gibbo has shown is quite common on OC focused Forums such as XS.
It is just a valid with Superpi 1M thrown in.

Do not expect Prime stable, it was never the OP's intention to imply that.

At the clocks and core voltage being used, high stress programs such as Prime or IBT would over load the VRM's instantly.

Unless of course it is set to be only using one module, quite likely.
Maybe Prime would run then but it would error out quickly.

In the main the folks who frequent this forum use there PC's day to day and only overclock to levels that are considered stable/safe.

Gibbo has thrown into the ring a screenie close to suicide, not something were used to.
Giving him the benefit of the doubt here i would say it was for fun.
Not in anyway an attempt to polish a **** and increase sales.

Guys, SupperPi is not support by AMD, you can't use it to measure its performance.

use CINEBENCH or something like that.

@ Gibbo, i think it probably is possible to run it at 5Ghz day to day on a good air cooler, it wont pass Prime-95, it will over heat, but nothing will stress the CPU like that anyway, so yeah.

But, 1.665v? is that safe for everyday use?

Do you even have to ask?

Gibbo what mobo were u using for this?

How hot does it get after 5 mins of prime 95 though?

A Gigabyte 990FX UD7 and its Vdroop is absolutely terrible, Asus are bringing me a board tomorrow, shall see if that is any better.

If anyone knows a quick easy to run benchmark that is more fairer than the out-dated SuperPI let me know and I shall run it for you. :)

3D Mark please. I wanna check out that physics score @ 5ghz, see if it beats my 4.1ghz Phenom II 6 core :D

edit...ps, that is why I have the Crosshair Formula V / Thunderbolt...Vdroop, what vdroop ;)

can u try fritz chess see what stock vs 4.9 gives.

I'm considering swapping mobo to stop the oc issues im getting.

4+2 isn't good I'm getting vrm heat issues i think.

Let us know what the Asus is like?

Out just in time for winter, overclocked you won't need a room heater! :)

@ 4.6Ghz the FX-8350 uses 60 Watts more than a Phenom II x6 at 3.8Ghz

Results from testing at the plug, using prime 95 in each case on all cores, eight for piledriver, six for 1090T. 1.392V and 55C core temp on PD, 1.376V and 51C on 1090T

Exact same system, 290W for 1090T and 350W for 8350.

Idling,browsing, office both were comparable at 130-140 ish.

Full prime running on all cores plus heaven 2.5 bench running on 6950 gave 420W for 1090T and 480W for 8350.

ASUS M5A99X very high LLC virtually no vdroop.

I remember that board lol :p

How is it working out for ya :)

Seraph, you played me a blinder there, top marks, I was a bit unsure about going back to ASUS but this board has convinced me that they are not totally the dark side. Thanks.
 
So, a 5ghz overclock... does that bring it around comparable to a stock i5 in benches and real-world performance (eg games)?
 
That ^^^^^ and

Custom PC benchmark

Downloading now.
 
The only benchmark I look at is x264 (a high quality second pass on something HD ideally).

It's been optimised for piledriver and haswell (TBM, AVX2, FMA3, BMI1, and BMI2) since Jan this year according to the changelogs.

I looked at the file - it says 2007?? Surely Bit-tech is not using a 5 year old benchmark suite??
Click to expand...

yeah.... i ran it, out of the corner of my eye i clock one bar out of six in System monitor peged, litraly; it was using just one missrable core, the rest were completley idle.

It would have been a good bit of benching software if it used the CPU properly

The custom PC benchmark is very old, single threaded.
Not so good on modern hardware.

PD does ok on the x264 bench.
Hits the CPU hard though so if your not stable it wont finish.

Handbrake encoding tests could be used.
However that now uses AVX and the Intels have picked up a lot of extra speed.
PD wouldn't look good being beaten by the i5's.
