***official amd 83x0 overclocking thread***

[farmerboy-86]

62 0n core is max m8 im only 51 on core

i was 67 on socket which is safe upto 70 according to amd

im thinking of push/pull on rad atm im only pull with gentle typhoons want to see if it has an impact will fit tomorrow and see what temps do

^^^^^ this was on prime btw on aida64 i was only 49 socket 38 core after 2 hours so temps are fine all games running smooth

my settings are:-

cpu 4.8
multi x22.5
fsb 215
cpu/nb 2200 or just under due to multiplier
ht link 2588 again because of multiplier
ram 1680MHz

voltages are:-

vcore 1.440v
cpu/nb 1.3v
dram 1.6v (just for now to rule out ram instability)

all other voltages are standard, im now going to see if i can lower voltages for 24/7 everyday oc

I did do a quick cinebench run earlier as a marker, completely standard, score of 6.04 lol

6.04 is what i got when i did a run with stock settings. wouldnt be too just needs a little push

 

[Orch]

Still got all the power savers on too at the moment!

 

[Orch]

/checks time . . hmm, maybe just a quick delve into the bios

 

[farmerboy-86]

no m8 there all turned off

llc very high
cpu/nb llc high

 

[PCZ]

go for it

Man Prime, I've not heard of my friends even bothering to use it anymore simply because in real word scenario they just simply will never max out their CPU at all.

 

[Orch]

Great first attempt, boots to no monitor signal again. Did this the other day. After shutting down for a minute or 2 it came back with 'overclock failed' at BIOS. Why is it doing this? Can't be heat that quickly, power?

 

[Orch]

Gah! Done it again! All I did this time was reset to optimize, then adjust the CPU multi to 4.4ghz and put the CPU voltage to 1.45

Oh and turned the power saving functions off.

What am I doing wrong?

 

[teppic]

Start with 4.0GHz at 1.4v and see if that works.

 

[gpuerrilla]

Had to take the CPU block apart to fit the AMD bracket and had a hard time with the impossible to fit back in o ring.
I sussed out the technique in the end.
It is a bit late now to start drilling holes in the case to fit the RAD and the reservoir etc.

Intrigued to see the results PCZ!!

 

[Orch]

Start with 4.0GHz at 1.4v and see if that works.

Should I leave the power savings as standard?

 

[farmerboy-86]

go for it

i think im gonna

whats the settings used as a start guide and i can build of that as every cpu different lol

 

[farmerboy-86]

Man Prime, I've not heard of my friends even bothering to use it anymore simply because in real word scenario they just simply will never max out their CPU at all.

so whats everyone using for stability tests

AIDA64? and cinebench? how bout intel burn test guess thats like prime

Play couple hours of BF3, set cpu's to fold@home overnight - that should do it!

i get play bf3 lol but whats fold@home?

still wet behind ears here but i've learned so much last few days shame its only about one component still loads to learn lol

 

[farmerboy-86]

oh btw the steam sig maker link u gave me wont let me log it keeps failing to verify im human

maybe im a droid :s

 

[Hagar]

Some older results

 

[farmerboy-86]

very nice results indeed im going for it but before i do what cooling are you using cause my socket is way over 60 already at 4.8 i have a intake on back of mobo but not helping really how do u keep your socket so cool?

or is it youer mobo is better with the heat?

 

[gpuerrilla]

i get play bf3 lol but whats fold@home?
