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

[farmerboy-86]

when resetting cpu/nb i thought i lowered it but put it up panic over lol went to reset defaults and i see it rushing in bios lol.

not had much luck up to 5 ghz temps went crazy hit 67 socket 51 core maybe a 360 rad needed?

 

[farmerboy-86]

I thought 62 on the core was the max? If I've read that right you've got loads of room to play with!

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

 

[farmerboy-86]

no m8 there all turned off

llc very high
cpu/nb llc high

 

[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

 

[farmerboy-86]

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

 

[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?

 

[farmerboy-86]

my friend talks about minning i kinda get it i say kinda lol

i dnt know a great deal about the whole computing world tbh i dont mean to sound rude or insult anyone but i never thought this would be my thing i used to ride moto cross but a injury forced me to quit i was at a m8's one day he was on pc and i said so whats it all about we talked i surprisingly became intrested and the rest is history so to speak

so its why i ask whats this and that where as you guys proberly think come on dude i have been on this whole scene since 2012 as friend said sign up on here but only been into in a big way since crimbo just gone and now i cant walk away from it

thats why i ask simplest of questions i really dnt know much YET! i learn quick

 

[farmerboy-86]

Having built all that in your system you've learnt more than most already

Overclocking on these CPUs once you get to 4.5GHz is mostly fun I think, to see how high you can get stable. If you're hitting 5GHz clocks though, even in the worst performing games on AMD you'll be doing fine.

thanks dude i am a qualified mechanic with a motor sport degree so tinkering and taking things apart are in my blood i took this up as something to do while i recovered from injury but i think i may like this more now lol

 

[farmerboy-86]

Dude.. if you dont ask you will never know!!

You got me on Steam, will whizz you my mail etc so if you ever need to chat - do so.

to true my friend to true thanks i hate to burden people just my way i will always try to fix myself first, then bang head on desk then reluctantly ask advice not always in that order lol

 

[farmerboy-86]

Mechanical background and common sense = win win here!

I got my degree in computer science ages back and went a different path with the first job I applied for, main thing is we share knowledge and have similar interests - enjoy life while you can.

precisely we all aim for same goal in the end regaurdless on the team you rep you dont see that on may forums thats why i choose to stay with this one

 

[farmerboy-86]

My degree's Classics, very competent in Latin and ancient Greek, with particular interest in Latin poetry. Doesn't tend to come in useful here

i dont know it may

my rig is in need of some latin poetry cause she aint giving out for me on the whole 5ghz yet maybe i gotta woo her first

 

[farmerboy-86]

best not she is a oc virgin her ears wont take it yet

 

[farmerboy-86]

fair one!

 

[farmerboy-86]

I will try to remember the settings, that screenie is from 2012.

FSB 250
MULTI 20
NB 2500
HT 2250
NB 1.3V
CPU VDDA 2.7V
RAM 1666 (Might have been 2000)

cheers dude its only as a start point to build of may not work for me why a low ht link is anyhing over 2200 not good?

mine is 2600 and cpu/nb is 2200 should i have it other way like you?

 

[farmerboy-86]

will give it a shot how comes ht shouldn't be higher than nb as standard on my asus board ht is 2600 and nb 2200?

 

[farmerboy-86]

Spoiler

[/IMG]

been tweaking 4.8 some more as this will be my everday overclock im thinking dont want to run it 5 everyday unless u guys think its safe to?

but anyways 8.37 cinebench but putting cpu/nb and ht link to 2500mhz

 

[farmerboy-86]

sure can have all these m8 like my bibles lol
