Seen these go up to 2.6ghz easily mate but will need a voltage increase

heres a link to what i'v got mine running at the moment:

here's my super pi results for a 1mb test

As your setup is better i.e. RAM and PSU thats why you can run it higher.....

Have you primed it yet? If yes, for how long? What are your sys temps again?

How many fans do you have?

Goody_GTI · 2 Apr 2006 at 12:27

ye mate i primed it for a few hours yesterday, about 3 or 4 and was fine, havent had chance to test it at 2588 yet tho however. will let you no when i do!

m cpu runs at 56/57 under load, i have standard cpu fan, two 80mm exhaust fans, one 80mm side fan, and my psu has a fan dragging air out of the back aswel.

have u tried tweaking yours a bit higher yet?

o ye i tried mine at 237*11 to get 2.6 and it didnt like it!

xirokx · 2 Apr 2006 at 12:31

I dont have any 80mm fans mate...

I have given up cuz it just gets too hot we are talking early 60's under full load....2.4 is the best I think

Goody_GTI · 2 Apr 2006 at 12:34

o dear ye its probably safe to stay at 2.4 then if the temps are getting high, you dont want to fry your cpu now do ya?!

i dont think mines stable at 2588 had an error in prime

Goody_GTI · 4 Apr 2006 at 18:19

got it running at 2.6 now

Goody_106 55/56 is very high, what core do you have? My [email protected] runs at 43 under load, I would recommend getting an Artic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro to reduce temps and noise.

Goody_GTI · 6 Apr 2006 at 15:59

but my cpu is a newcastle core and runs hot anyway, even before i overclocked it ran in the 50's under load, since overclocking it has only gone up a couple of degrees! but ye im still gona order a new cooler for it in a couple of days, im either going to get the arctic cooler 64 pro or the gigabyte one, any ideas anyone?

I had my A3500+ Venice at 2.8 stable, sold it on the bay as FX57 equiv PC (bought stuff n assembled) (kinda lie becyase of cache size), but was money spinner

that was 255 x 11

EDIT: That was on a ASRock 939 dual SATA with Corsair XMS RAM

seen what you've done there mate!

2.8 stable is a good overclock, mine seems to have hit a brick wall at 2.6!

does anybody know what the max voltage i can put into this chip?

Id say 1.55 on decent air, 1.65 on water

Mikey1280 · 7 Apr 2006 at 22:49

I think these guys are talking about the 130nm Athlon 64s that take 1.5v as standard (someone correct me if I'm wrong) so I would say 1.6v on good air.

Goody_GTI · 9 Apr 2006 at 14:13

my cpu is already running at 1.6v does that mean then that i cannot push the volts up anymore?

This is what I've got with my AMD64 3200+ so far

I could clock it higher but I'm using the retail fan but I still don't see my CPU go over 40C even when I switch Asus prob 2 on as soon as 3D Bench 05 finish.

As long as you dont raise the vcore any more a higher htt shouldnt make a diff to your temps

I'll give a blast and see what I can get.

Oh my I love this cpu. I wish I'd come to AMD sooner.

Thats realy impressive mate, youve managed to get the same speed as me out of it and its a 3200 aswel! Nice one.

Thinking of upgrading to an opteron 146 now... iv got the upgrade bug

before i do i will push the volts up as i have my new cooler and see if i can hit 2.7 mark with my 3500, then it doesnt matter if it melts lol

Watchtower whats the stepping of your cpu?

Luckly I used my head and wrotE them down before insalling the cpu.
