The Updated X2 3800+ Overclocking Thread ...

[A.N.Other]

It's all in the sticky you know

That thing's 26 pages, I'm not trauling through all of that in a hurry!

I'll stick you in the table this evening.

TABLE UPDATE

You're in there weescott. The call is still out for new people and those who want to change their details in the table.

 

[Stan_Lite]

Bugger.

Only held position 6 for 1 day

New RAM should be here tomorrow (damn bank holidays ). Will have to try to regain it then - if not, it'll be phase time when I get back from Egypt.

I am, still, the king of the air cooling though

Just a nice cool 24/7 overclock.

CPU: 2400
HTT: 240
RAM: 200
Timings: 2-3-2-8-1T 2.6V (2x1GB)
VCore: 1.300V (with CnQ 1.100V)
HT: 4x
Core: Manchester
Cooling: Artic 64 Pro
M/b: AN8-Ultra
Stepping: LDBHE0601 UPMW

 

[Stan_Lite]

Managed to get 2.95 but it just refused to stretch to that magical 3.0



Never mind, pretty good for air

CPU Clock : 2950Mhz
HTT: 295
RAM FSB: 197
Timings: 3-4-4-7 1T
VCore: 1.5V (bios) 1.456V (CPU-z)?
HT: 3x
Core: Manchester
Cooling: Air - Si120
Mobo: DFI Lanparty Expert
Stepping: LDBFE 0614WPMW

Currently running dual prime at 2.85 - doing fine too.

Thanks guys, I'll update the table this evening.

Bad luck Stan maybe with phase ! Does a nice Pi time though - not too shabby at all. Like your desktop btw

 

[janesssssy]

Any chance of this on your table

CPU Clock : 2950Mhz
HTT: 295
RAM FSB: 210
Timings: 3-3-3-7 1T
VCore: 1.5V with 10% over(bios) 1.57V CPU-z
HT: 3x
Core: Manchester
Cooling: Water Storm G4 and PA120.3
Mobo: MSI NF3 Neo2-plat
Stepping: LDBHE 0601UPMW

All prime stable for 20+ hours, stopped it there.

I can get a pic uploaded tonight.

Thanks

I quite like the desktop too

It's looking pretty stable at 2.85 now. I will leave it priming for another couple of hours and then get it back to folding

I will have another go when I get back from Egypt, it should have settled in well by then. After that, it's phase time

UPDATED TABLE to here.

Thanks for your input people.

A.N.Other i have spent today getting the best timings for my memory as follows i now have timings of 2.0-2-2-5 1T and realised i dont need the volts i was using so now running on 1.37Vcore.

Now i have tighter timings will this have any impact on my CPU OC? just i think i remember reading somewhere that A64 like tight timings, as before getting over 2.4Ghz was a big no no!

It's better to have tight timings if you can, but it doesn't make a massive difference with A64. The Socket A chips really benefitted from having a 1:1 CPU:RAM and tight timings, but modern AMDs aren't quite the same.

Nevertheless, good stuff! I'll update the table accordingly - probably some time tomorrow now.

 

[Foehammer2003]

I just read on a different forum post that if i disable the 'spread spectrum' option this is the lock option, if it is, does that mean i should be able to get further with my OC?

Gotta keep asking noobish q's lol, purely because i want the max performance i can get from my rig!

 

[weescott]

I just read on a different forum post that if i disable the 'spread spectrum' option this is the lock option...

False. Disabling spread spectrum made my overclocking worse.

Some people say they get a few 100 extra MHz by disabling it - I couldn't tell you, personally. However, I would tend to trust those who know ^looks upwards^.

UPDATED TABLE to here

Well done, Foehammer2003 - the VCore drop made you move up a place! If people hadn't worked it out by now, the table is sorted by clock (descending), VCore (ascending) and then by name (ascending).

Keep me updated with you indormation people. And point any people who you know have clocked their X2 3800+s but aren't in yet to come and give me some data.

 

[StevenG]

Update please

CPU Clock: 2600Mhz
HTT: 289
Multi: 9x
RAM FSB: 200
Timings: 2-2-2-7 1T 3.2V
VCore: 1.425V
HT: 3x
Core: Toledo
Cooling: Scythe Ninja with Scythe Fan
Mobo: DFI Ultra D

Temps: Idle 25-27'c Load 38

 

[A.N.Other]

Will do

// EDIT // Why do you have a 9x multi? You won't see an improvement having a 289 FSB over a 260 afaik. Have you compared the two or just gone straight for that setting?

 

[utajoker]

my first overclock

CPU Clock: 2500Mhz
HTT: 250
Multi: 10x
RAM FSB: 208 i think
Timings: 2-2-2-5 1T

[chris06]

Add me to the list please

CPU Clock: 2650Mhz

i have a 9x multi to get 200mhz on the ram
