Thanks guys

Hi there,

Some great clocks! Really impressed!

Here's my result:

PSU Clock: 2500Mhz
HTT: 250
RAM FSB: 250 (OCZ PC4000 Platinum)
Timings: 3, 3, 2, 8 1T
VCore: Can't remember?! Will check and get back to you!
HT: 4x
Core: Manchester
Cooling: Scythe Ninja Revision B with a 120mm Akasa Amber
Mobo: ASUS A8N32 SLI Deluxe

*bring thread to front page*

Anyway, thought I'd bring in a quick update.

CPU: 2906mhz
HTT: 323
HTT multiplier: 9
RAM: 223.5mhz timings 2.5-3-2-5
Vcore: 1.63V(in bios, I haven't bothered checking with multimeter)

Settings above were 25 hours orthos stable

That's a nice clock. You've done well to get that stable up there

I'll make an update this evening / tomorrow.

Nice Salabra! What board you using to get that high a FSB and what are the temps like?

Nice Salabra! What board you using to get that high a FSB and what are the temps like?

I'm using DFI NF4 Expert. It can easily handle about 400 HTT without any modifications or increasing chipset voltage. I've never used higher than 360 HTT, but that went without any problems. Chipset is around 45c load, without the chipset fan spinning at all(using a crossflow fan at low rpm). CPU temp is around 30c(sensor is wrong here!), core temp slightly differs from core to core, but averaging around 40c. Running IHSless, so that gave me about 20-25c lower temps than with IHS on.

Btw, HTT not FSB . I also have to say that my new PSU, Corsair HX620W, brought me the last bit of stability needed

 

[El Jimben]

HTT, FSB, same difference I don't think I'm brave enough to take the IHS off mine, might consider getting a better cooler though. I'm not sure if it's my mobo or my PSU that's stopping me from getting mine stable at 2.8GHz and above

Could be your cpu as well, but if you can get it stable at 2.7ghz easily, I can assure you that 2.8ghz stable is well within reach

UPDATED TABLE

Done up to here. I thought this thread had died a death when C2Ds came out. It's nice to see there's still some people enjoying clocking X2s.

 

[geeza]

2850mhz
Freezer 64 pro
3-4-4-8 Gskill HZ
1.375

will go to 3ghz but not stable in supreme commander and prime and temps are toasty at 1.45 volts!

 

[leexgx]

just seen mine 2.6 OC in there

more details

AM2 X2 3800+
2.61ghz, 10X261
stepping BH-F2
core 1.45V (Reported in bios HW monitor and CPU-z reports 1.488v ? so witch one do i beleave)
3x HTL
XMS2 800 4x1gb 4-4-4-12-T2 @ 2.0v ram not OC, @ 326mhz (652)

Standby voltage is 1.6

i uped the HT link Vcore for CPU to MB, and MB to SB 0.1v but i am not sure if this is needed to make it stable as i am only overclocking the cpu so do i only need to max out standby voltage

RAM will not post if ram is set to auto or less then 1.9v when 4 is used but i set it to 2.0v as it can hadle 2.1v safe)

CPU is an little unstable past 2.6 that not sure what i need to pump up (probly vcore but not sure whats safe as my mobo reporting off set by 0.04v)
what chip set votages do i need to up an little or a lot and whats Safe for them

 

[A.N.Other]

*sniffs air* I smell bumpage ... good work, Geeza. I'll update it later on.

 

[musicman53]

I see you guys are still having fun seein how high you can go.
I had a go at gettin a bit more out of my setup.
Nothin fancy tho as if I wanted to have a faster CPU then I would go for a new build using one of the newer AMD cpu's.
2.4 with standard cooling

ABIT AN8 Ultra
AMD 64 X2 3800+ @1.35V giving me 2.4
Thermaltake SilentBoost K8
2X GeIL CL25-3-3DDR 400 PC3200 512MB(1Gig kit)

10x
HTT Multi=4X
HTT(FSB)=240
DDR=333
Ram settings
2.5 3 3 6 1T @1.65v

Thanks, people! If you've got any more info on your clock, Geeza, that would be grand .

UPDATED TABLE

Thanks, people! If you've got any more info on your clock, Geeza, that would be grand .

sure. Changed a bit

285fsb
180divider
259mhz memory
2850mhz
1.350 volts
DFI Ultra-D
Toledo Core

codes-
ADA3800DAA5CD
LCBIE 0628DPMW
Z95929AG61531

15minute orthos stable, c&c 3 stable 30mins, 2hour supreme commander stable

Reckon i could get 3ghz out of it with 1.45volts but at 1.40volts orthos makes coretemp *think* one of the cores goes to 82c. Strange as it doesnt crash and the highest temp for 3800s is 72

Its probably a bit hotter because ive got my x1800xt clocked at 700core 800memory on Accelero X2 aswell right underneath it

 

[geeza]

PI time is 36 as my RAM just can keep up the pace at 285MHz bus - I have to up the divider meaning its slooooowwwer again Still at 2850MHz it beats the FX62 @ Stock in all the Sandra CPU tests which is what its all about

@feriso: See if this thread helps, its relevent to my mobo and another chaps but it might give you some ideas

my PI time is 29sec (same as with opteron [email protected]) just tried sandra and it beats FX62, ha ha unlucky, rubbish expensive FX62

I know I'm a bit late to the party...

Just starting to OC my new X2 3800 Windsor and have a few questions.

1.) What is the max temp I should be looking at? I'm using stock cooling (which I'll be sticking with) and so far it's topping out at 51C at 2.2GHz and 1.35v.

2.) I ran 2 instances of Prime overnight at 2.2GHz and came in this morning to find the machine had re-booted itself. I've just tried upping the core and RAM voltages a notch and it's passed 1 hour Prime so far. Were voltages the likely culprit - or did the CPU overheat?

3.) I have a couple of other voltages to mess with in my BIOS - HT and chipset I think. Do I need to mess with these at all?

I know there are probably answers to these, but there's a lot to wade through here

X2 3800 Windsor, Biostar NF4U-AM2G mobo, G.Skill 2GB DDR2-800 5-5-5-15, X-Clio Stablepower 460W.

Thanks guys.

55ºC on full load is what I'd call max. If you want to get the temps down, try an aftermarket cooler with some AS5 paste.

2.) I ran 2 instances of Prime overnight at 2.2GHz and came in this morning to find the machine had re-booted itself. I've just tried upping the core and RAM voltages a notch and it's passed 1 hour Prime so far. Were voltages the likely culprit - or did the CPU overheat?
Possibly. It's hard to say what the culprit could be.

3.) I have a couple of other voltages to mess with in my BIOS - HT and chipset I think. Do I need to mess with these at all?
There's no harm in possibly bumping these voltages up by one setting. (i.e. if they were 1.4v, then try 1.5v) They could help stability but things like Chipset Voltage played a bigger role in stability on old NF2 chipset boards.

I know there are probably answers to these, but there's a lot to wade through here
