Opteron 165 Overclock

[Conrad11]

Hey

I am going to try and overclock this when i get home.

What should be the maximum voltage i should not go past on this chip?

What should be the maximum temp under load?

Thanks.

i had a amd 4400x2 at 1.7v and load temp of 62c

my temps wasnt the problem

its cause because my Motherboard couldnt support the voltage properly it was jumping from 1.350 to 1.75v rapidly lol and when i shut my pc down, Boom.


so dont go past 1.68v unless you have a good mobo.

btw that was at 2.95ghz, but a opteron is a lot better at overclocking

Well I think i have a good motherboard: DFI NF4 Ultra-D

Also, I was thinking of using OCCT to test its stability in between changing settings and then when i have finished checking if its Prime Stable.

But i have had a look at OCCT and i can't tell how you know whether it is stable or not?

Does anyone know?

Also what is the difference between CPU voltage and core voltage.

According to Ntune

CPU: 1.450V
Core: 1.53V

Whats the difference?

Thanks.

Really, I dont think there are safe voltage barriers.

I go off temps really.

Over 60c fully loaded when priming, the volts should be lowered.
