4GIG FX-57

Ok well I was hoping for a WR but seems like I can only validate at 4001 this is a first for the UK or so I was told the WR is 4200 so I either need to regass my cascade or pop the top off my fx

Bloody hell fatty! Amazing o/c, keep going

Nice one!

Pop the top off!

why not 200 x 20? be less strain on the cpu surely?

PinkFloyd · 1 Apr 2006 at 21:39

What cooling is that?
Nice overclocking

fatty1 · 1 Apr 2006 at 21:39

She wont boot windows at 4jig will do at like 3800 3850 but not 3900 it starts to corrupt my hdds

I've read about you at XtremeSystems.

Take off that IHS, i'm sure that'll get you some extra juice out of it however small it is

But every mhz past the 4ghz mark counts

Cheers guys yeah its using my cascade cooler I would pop the IHS but this is my everyday cpu and I am poor I cant afford another cpu thats why I dont want to pop it

*says the guy running an fx-57 cascade system*

Fatty pop it off, max it out then once done pop it back on mate

ted34 · 1 Apr 2006 at 23:21

What volts is that with? - and that prob is a world record for a cpu with its ihs still on as all people pushing them will have removed the ihs to get that extra degree cooler

Drazic · 1 Apr 2006 at 23:34

Thats a valid point Ted...nice thinking there

p4radox · 1 Apr 2006 at 23:46

Crikey

, get the IHS off the thing. Can we have some pics of the cascade system?

matt100 · 1 Apr 2006 at 23:52

do you reckon running less ram might get you a bit higher?

every major/WR overclock I've seen has been with 2 x 256 or similar..

Having said that going from 2gb to 2 x 256 didn't get me any further with my 3800.

Yes, but generally you are beyond help

.

It does indeed make sense :eek:

to get some say 2x256MB BH5 or similar to clock with - cheap and relieves some strain on the memory controller. And don't pop it if you don't want to!

Hehe that's mad, glad I don't have the money to do that kind of thing.

fatty1 · 2 Apr 2006 at 11:46

Hmmm I may try with less ram dont know if I will have a chance today but may do

and the cascade looks like this

harris1986 · 2 Apr 2006 at 11:50

going to sound like a proper nabje here but could you explain what cascade cooling consists of? looks like a kind of modded phase unit?

just use a single stick of ram, cpu doesnt have to bother with dual channel then
