AMD FX Overclocking

[LtMatt]

very nice, hope your APM is disabled. Many people doing wrong OC with APM enabled.

you find some my FX in albums there:

Love your pictures dude! Is it okay if i pinch a couple of use on the AMD UK social pages? I'll be sure to link to your album.

 

[LtMatt]

APM master has the eefect, the TDP of chip is still around 125W (For 125W chip). So example you did OC to 5 GHz with APM master enabled and in Superpi 1M your score will be around 16s, so the same as with APM Master disabled.
But you can run Cinebench R11 or R15 and all threads will be jumping up and down because APM Master ant keep your TDP around 125W and score will be low. Example around 7.7 points. With disabled APM Master it will be correct and it is around 8.6 points at 5 GHz OC.

btw, what link is AMD UK FacebooK? Send me it, I can join in

Sure.

Facebook
Twitter

I will post something over the coming days.

 

[LtMatt]

no problem man Still I have more and more next FX or Phenoms II albums at my hard disk

btw, what link is AMD UK FacebooK? Send me it, I can join in

ah, I thought its global AMD page, there Im some years

My best OC results, hope some day get more (think 8240 or so is possible)

I couldn't get her over 5.26Ghz......at least get her to boot....I'll have to play around but I seriously can't believe how much 8320E is a beast......from 3.2Ghz base to 5 Ghz......without really breaking a sweat; even 5.1 Ghz isn't that hard......anything over most likely hitting voltage or heat limitation.....

Nice work dude.

Your first link didn't work by the way.

Got any rig pictures? What's your twitter handle?

 

[LtMatt]

hehe should be meldarth or meldarthx I've been throwing up a lot of videos with VSR on twitter lately.

Doh will check first link after I get home from work I got to do a little clean p and hopefully get some rig pics soon

Added you, i think.

EDIT

Got myself a new FX8370E and an A10-7850K to play around with.

Has anyone tried clocking the APU's, do they clock like the FX chips?

 

[LtMatt]

That's a great chip you have there Armadillo. I've got a FX8370E here laying around that i intend to use soon, would love to get stable at a similar voltage.

 

[LtMatt]

Matt if its laying around you can donate it to me for some testing..

Sorry mate i intend to use it, but currently I've got my hobby fund set aside for other items. In a month or two I'm going to build an AMD FX rig just for benching though!

 

[LtMatt]

Wow completely forgot about this thread.

 

[LtMatt]

Hah, yeah and me. Good times tuning the old CPUs.

Amen, yeah i had a lot of fun with that chip.
