I dont think its reading it correctly.

Walla! still testing though guys.

Seems like youve got a mighty fine chip there iklebrit, that is an excellent overclock at that voltage.
The hard bit is 2.7Ghz upwards, but I can see you getting to 2.8Ghz with some good cooling.
Best of luck, hope she clocks well.

3800 X2 LDBHE 0601 UPMW

2600mhz 10 x 260 4xhtt 1/1 ram. 1.275v (1.23v smartgaurdian)
stock 3800 cooler, stock tim, (stock coolermaster stacker fans used in case)

Walla! still testing though guys.

That looks promising! have you tried going higher?

What made you start testing at low voltages?

4Qman · 18 Feb 2006 at 22:44

Seen another chip like that mate and hits 3300mhz on Phase.

V V nice indeed. Try 2.8Ghz this is the test but better cooling may be needed.

tried 2700mhz, it was unstable, after about a hr it bsod running prime. with 1.325v temps where upto 54C.

Oh well it was fun while it lasted. I havent air cooled in a yr and a half. Is the si-120 a good choice for quiet air cooling?

Stock Vcore is 1.35V, so why do you LOWER the Vcore instead of increasing it? :confused:

And btw, I would go for a scythe ninja, like I did :cool:

higher voltage = higher temperatures

the scythe is far too big.

Im still waiting to see some good results from a scythe ninja? Its been hyped to death, dunno why?

Huh?

Mine is working absolutely excellent. During absolute max load(the toughest torture test in prime95, and running two prime95 at the same time) I max out at 49c. That is with a _very_ quiet 120mm fan which you can barely hear(16,5db), and with a closed case with medium good airflow. With my x2 [email protected]@1.4V.

And btw, I would say the zalman cnps 9500 is more of a hype. It's way too noisy for me, and performs bad compared to my ninja(at least with about the same noise level). Check out the review of scythe ninja at silentpcreview.com

Show me please. . .

Post Your Cooling Screenshots Here!

Do you have dividers other than 333 and 400? Just trying to work out how you got 236MHz when the HTT is 260.

The devider is set at 180(9Dramn/10FSB)

David230 · 25 Feb 2006 at 01:00

I have my manchester running at 2.5ghz (250x10). Thats as far as I wanna take it for now,until I have my new cooling and mem for this PC. Its all stock voltages at the moment with ram on a divider lowering ram fsb to 208mhz. (PC3200) HT 4x

Idle temp = 33degC Load = 46degC

Runs stable through OCCT test but that is all I have tried thus far.

Is that with the stock cooler?

tomos · 25 Feb 2006 at 09:11

i would guess so, since he's using stock voltage. plus he's getting new cooling

Eliminos · 25 Feb 2006 at 10:05

I've got mine to 2.6GHz (260 x 10) at 1.4V with a Big Typhoon. It idles at about 47 (with lowered fan speeds) and loads at 54, but the A8N32 that its in has really crummy temperature sensors and I reckon its more like 33 idle and 40 load. The G.Skill HZ RAM is running at 260MHz 1T 3-4-3-8. I get a 1M super-pi time of 33.045s.

No, I'm using a basic coolermaster aguagate R80 (CPU watercooler). I'm not overly keen on the thing tbh.

Tempted to buy the Mach 2gt if I can find one in my price range. Apparently they can be found for as low £200 (possibly the non-gt though).

kingnothing · 25 Feb 2006 at 17:51

First real oc attempt

Nice but unfortunately on it's way out, to be replaced with an Opteron 170 early next week.

MikeTimbers · 25 Feb 2006 at 18:36

Why would you want to stop using a chip that runs at 5.6GHz :eek:

?

Want to sell it?

PeterNem · 25 Feb 2006 at 18:53

X2 2.8 != 5.6

David230 · 25 Feb 2006 at 19:49

Temps up slightly from the other night. Running @ 2.5ghz

I have had to raise the voltage to 1.39 (1.375) now because of a stability issue. I want to run prime next cos my tests have only been short.
