1055T OC

Set your Dram freq below 1333 & both HT link & cpu_nb below 2000 (with is default) then raise your fsb by 5 & see if it is stable or not.

If you are reaching temperatures of 50 under load then you dont really want to be pushing the cpu much further. The max safe temp for a 125w 1055T is 62C so you shouldnt really go any higher that 55C max under load.
 
Agreed! But if there is that much more space I want it to make it, because there is no point in investing in anything unless I find out what is holding me back. Do you think it's just finding the EXACT settings, or could it be my mobo?

I am going to Quickly restart with your advice(s) and update you really soon. (while testing with prime)
 
So far I am about to test this setting running prime95, the pc so far has not crashed though lol (it probably will soon)
multi 14x
fsb 255
dram freq 1020
cpu/nb and HT link freq at 1785 (i could drop it to 1530, 1275 or 1020)
CpuV 1.4
cpu/nb V 1.1250

It BSOD with these settings when testing on prime after 30 seconds.
 
Up the cpu voltage by 1 notch and try again. Everything apart from the cpu is below stock so upping the cpu voltage should get it stable. If it BSOD after upping it 1 notch then up it by another notch but I wouldnt up it to much at temp will then become an issue.
 
okay. i will give it a shot... btw, if i put too much V's in that the temp is still safe lets say 1.45 could it be too much for the speed i am set? i hope that makes sense
 
Max safe voltage for 24/7 use is around 1.48 volts as long as temps are around 55C max. So you could try 1.45v but that will probably put temps up a lot as you are on stack cooling. Once you get the cpu speed stable & raise the speed of the cpu_nb & ht link closer to stock settings that will also increase your temps. TBH if you have the cpu stable @ 3.5GHz you may be better of trying to get the cpu_nb stable at a higher speed as this can give performance improvements in games which may be greater than the 0.2ghz or so that you will increase the speed of the cpu by.
 
3.8 - 4GHz shouldn't be a problem with WC or high end air cooling. If you are going for WC or high end air cooling then you may be able to get a combination of increased cpu speed & cpu nb. This Anandtech review gives an idea of the performance imporvements of raising cpu speed & cpu nb speed.

What have you raised to voltage to for it to be stable?
 
nice link, thank you. I think that the cpunb improves when raised, but seems to make a bigger improvement on lower Ghz. oh, my cpunb has gone over 2000 as i increased the FSB. It seems stable :D

Would you think a WC is worth getting? or just a xigmatek dark knight should be enough?

I'm amazed you can run an AMD® Phenom™ II X6 @ 3.5GHz using the retail HSF! :D

Are you sure your temps are only about 50°C Prime load with six over-volted 3.6GHz cores :confused:

Yeah, i swear! lol.. i am using core temp and that cpuid hwmonitor thing. BUT!! I use Asus suite, it shows higher Temp than these programs by 4-9 degrees more!

It could be a temp problem

I am putting 1.475V on FSB of 265 as the lower V's failed. I also reduced the HT links etc. I am starting to think it's temps. Now this test should show me that if it BSOD it's not V's lol. If it BSOD I am going to go back to 3.5 on get new air cooler, i can't afford WC right now.
 
pauliface,

post up a screenie of HWMonitor please with the chip under Prime95 load . . . . the temp you should be looking at is either TMPIN0 or TMPIN1 :cool:

I thinki TMPIN0 is your cpu temp & @ 58C that is to close to the limit to be pushing the cpu any further without better cooling. You might want to see if you can lower the cpu voltage a little without it becoming unstable.

A xigmatek dark knight will be a great improvement over the stock heatsink & will bring those temps down a fair bit. I think that WC is worth is mainly for the fact that you can get great cooling & an extremely quiet system (getting the computer as quiet as possible was the main reason I went for it) but it can be expensive.
 
Yeah 58°C is high . . . I'd imagine the CPU or on-chip memory-controller won't be happy running that hot? . . . a 3rd party cooler is needed but I wouldn't suggest spending a lot of money unless your trying to break a world-record benchmark or something! :p
