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

Hey guys been a while work is crazy busy atm coming to end of the season and our team car is showing its age having to pull long hours between races :mad:
so haven't had chance to have much input here sorry guys!

so first i cant believe asking a quick question would pull all you guys out in force to build this community we have now, so well done you guys to help build it up and work together to help each other out :D

had chance today after f1 (well done seb) :D:D:D:D:D lol

to test rig @ 4.9GHz and after testing with prime (which failed after 1/2 hour), intel burn test passed but that aint best program as it can pass even when it should fail ran aida64 for a while just fpu only (nice and toasty) and that didn't fail

ran cinebench and got 779 before @ 4.8GHz was 769 so gained there (higher speed ram needed as my patriot wont clock) grrrrrr!

gamed for hour or so and no probs lock ups blue screen ect so i would say im stable @ 4.9GHz atm :D

some pics of bios & benchmarks to help you guys :D

Small mod to my lady's upcoming rig ! Today the acrylic I ordered to change the window colour arrived. I had a orange one in there to match the Cougar fans but it didn't look right with white fans.. So I ordered this stuff.



It's new. UV reactive pink. It glows. Here is here stuff.



And with the new window fitted. I'm going to use the left over pink to make her a SLI bridge cover :)



It's going to be one heck of an 8 core rig when I'm done :)

rig looks sweet alex can you get that perspex in green?

Well done farmerboy, you are managing to achieve nice clocks and at low volts. Excellent setup.

I am now using prime95 to confirm what I saw on IBT. System seems stable but I think I have discovered a CHVFZ motherboard glitch and might have to RMA. I may live with it.

cheers dude sooooo chuffed managed to lower voltage from 1.440 down to 1.428 and higher clock so chuffed temps are good gaming obviously high @ stressing also the fiance has tropical heat in the house lol
with new ram cinebench will bost as well :D

oh really what problem has cropped up thought those boards were solid?

Although I am the poor man of the GPU pack with my XF 7770's I will have to see how they get on with BF4 before making any rash decisions on what to do next.

I thought the 7950 would have been my next progression, however now I am seeing the 7990 madness I think a 7970 or 290 will be the bar to aim at methinks.

I know a man who has one for sale ;) changing my 2 for 7990 there voltage locked but still run most games maxed :D

Csn confirm that 4 hrs gaming tonight my 4.9 ghz didn't show any signs of weakness. @ these low volts and temps think I will run it for everyday use
 
alex_123_fra said:
So here is the 7990 I received today guys:



Very well built card and a lovely backplate. Here are some pics in the rig. This isn't a thing of beauty and the colour coordination was mainly determined by what fans I had left :).




Here is the first 3DMark 11 run at only 4.6 GHz on the 8320 and the 7990 at bone stock. Pretty nice GPU score I think at over 18000. The CPU was being utilised at 100% at points in this so need to repeat this with it OCed to 5GHz + and check some results. The card is effortless. I haven't read up on how to overclock it or whether there are any custom bioses, but thermally, not an issue. Less than 57 C top temps at load. There is coil whine, but not annoying and they all do it.


When I get a chance, I will OC both the CPU and the GPU and also do some game benches.

looks great alex solid rig there now :D
 
hi guys been gaming away so aint been on here much and work is mega busy :mad:

i see couple of posts back about cpu parking after disabling mine it gained me 10 extra points in cinebench

didn't even know about this but i will take free performance gain, not much granted but to quote a well known super market "every litle helps" lol

thread is coming on now great work here guys

my 4.9ghz needs more work wasn't stable after playing batman origins for few hours, so back to 4.8ghz for now

i think my psu not helping as its bronze and not most efficient so ordered a new corsair 860 platinum psu.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-107-CS&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1084

and new memory

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-044-AR

great going guys need to kick these gaming nights off soon :D
 
alex_123_fra said:
Well done farmerboy. Yes core unpack seems to help.

Congrats on new PSU ad memory. Changing to an 860w plat certainly helped me.
Click to expand...

Yeah seems to help m8

Yeah psu I think is the reason for unstable clocks its only bronze and not very efficient may be able to reduce voltage with the new psu memory should give a nice little increase too, my viper ram just wont clock it wont boot at all if I alter anything even with ram voltage at 1.65v and loose timmings grrr
 
Hey guys shame to hear about the bt horror stories I found them ace moved into new place ordered infinity 2 on the monday installed on friday top service :)

Anyone using gigabyte 7970 oc voltage locked one? Wondering what clocks you have managed to get?
 
BurntProc said:
FB, 7970 crashed after 30 sec of valley @ 1075mhz core. It made it through a bench run @ 1050mhz fine - obviously that doesn't mean it's stable at that speed.

Not much headroom at all then I think.
Click to expand...

evening guys, reason iasked was i have never bothered to clock 7970 never needed to but as im happy with cpu clock where it is thought i would have a go.
i know they wont go far as there voltage locked but i had a mess around and i can game for hours @ these settings below

best i could achieve any higher and it dies lol

may check that thread for soldering, as i intend to change gpu with my crimbo bonus anyway so nothing to loose :eek: i guess this soldering is what enables you to unlock voltage then?
 
BurntProc said:
Yes, the resistor physically restricts the voltage. I'm not sure how many people have done it successfully... I was trying to sell mine and get a mat plat instead, but now I'm thinking a gtx780 or 290 if the prices are good. The gf can use the 7970 for simcity :-)
Click to expand...

lol dont get me wrong great card maxes most things but batman origins just doesn't seem right just flashed to the latest bios. im testing it @ 1100 core 1550 mem will report back people sa new bios gave them ability to push card tad more, dont see how voltage is still the same :confused:
 
hey guys loving the rig pics :)

anybody a fan of company of heros 2?

i have a 40% off voucher on steam i unlocked, and i already have the game

will trade for any cards you have, for games in my library

message me on steam if were not friends yet its KILL3RS ELITE

also on my overclocking venture i managed tyo get back to 4.9ghz seems ok atm think psu may be the culprit mine arrives tomorrow will post pics and data once new psu and ram are in

hey guys i know i aint been heard off for ages i got abducted i think :p

thread has moved on some what i see.


Been concentrating on gaming as i have a tonne of games to complete, i think the overclocking and benchmarking took over my life at one point

got my rig to 4.9ghz stable @ 1.452v

cpu/nb and ht link both running 2685 MHz with a little voltage bump

multi 22
fsb 223

think thats where she will stay for now temps are cool but time of year helps

idle 27
gaming hits 39/40 socket
 
Kobi said:
What temps are you getting under prime?
Click to expand...

stopped using prime dude as its unreal on cpu never gonna hit that temps in real life situations

its purely a gaming rig if it games im happy

gaming and on aida64 i hit 40 socket 36 core im on full water custom loop with vrm fan mods and socket mod on rear of mobo she stays cool :D

got 798 on cinebench too
