Sempron AM2 @ 3GHz (87.5% OC)

[spin 9]

I just break 3GHz Sempron AM2 with water cooling :)

AMD Sempron AM2 3000+ (Default @ 1.6GHz :( )
ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe (VCmod, VDIMMmod)
Corsair TWIN2X1024-8500
ASUS EN7900GTX
Enermax Liberty 620W

Cooler: Corsair Nautilus 500

Very nice mate!! Gratz :toast:

[afireinside]

Nice :D Go for 100%!

[spin 9]

Nice :D Go for 100%!

The problem is 3000+ has only 8.0x multi :(
Another step is 380MHz HTT, here: CPU-Z Validator (http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=100205)

100% should not possible for water cooling, maybe next time I will try DI :)

[Lightman]

pretty impresive HTT and mem speeds!!
:toast:
keep going!

[Evo155]

Well done!

Waiting for some 3d mark results :D Let see what this budget proc @ 3Ghz can do.

Nice forums here by the way:clap:

[M1nDH4cK]

Impressive. What's the highest prime-stable freq ?

[hey]

it must be easy to achieve %100 o.c with better cooling..:clap:
go for it !

[dimasdw]

hm..nice result ..,manila is rock :banana:

[ineedaname]

That's awsome good job!!!!

you can try before under ice water...
put 1 or 2 water bottles into your freezer, and tomorrow put those into your watercooling and have fun :D

100% needed before coldbug ;)

Go for it spin! And some 3D benches with that 7900GTX too! Rock on.

What's the stepping?

Here is the CPU shot ;)

idle/load temps?

:toast:

[Dekara]

Congrat's :clap:.

What is the max stable OC with default vcore?

[Flak Monkey]

Geat job! This gets me very excited as I just ordered that cpu for a mate of mine.

[spin 9]

idle/load temps?

:toast:

Temp is quite high, around 45~50 idle and 60~65 load.
The Corsair Nautilus 500 can't perform well because I can't change or put any ice in it, so it's getting hotter and hotter by the time.
Anyway ambient here is around 31~32 degrees Celsius.


Congrat's .

What is the max stable OC with default vcore?

default VCORE is 1.40V and it can goes only 2.1~2.2GHz prime stable.

[Entity_Of_One]

very well done :toast: congrats

[ncsa]

Excellent work .. well done :D

[SoF]

yeah hope to see some 100% OCs on these chips.
nice going there :toast:

[gundamit]

Very nice OC on a CPU that can be had for $76USD. Can we get some 3D to go along with the SPi? :D

[keiths]

With the majority of people coming from DDR1 setups, that's $76 + DDR2 cost.

[Hazzan]

Thats goods !!

another of those sweeet GPMWs :toast:
with a shot of high voltage with chipset and LDT and some Dice you should go 100% all the way ..... ehm, this supposed to be budget cpu? :slobber: keep it comin ..

[theteamaqua]

is Corsair Nautilus 500 any good? i heard its like pretty bad or something.

[hipogtr]

Excellent clocks - definitely time to step up the cooling to DI and go for 100%!

[Moto7451]

You have to love being able to run your chip at its PR.

[ZX7891]

Great results, what are those chips 70-80bucks, great deal for the OC.

[rifcozo]

Very2 Excellent.. "its manila core same with orleans core" ???

[FragTek]

Gratz on the wicked overclock! I see that the new Sempys are displaying a bit of old Sempron style with some awesome overclocks without insane cooling methods.

See if you can push her to 90%!

[Celcius]

Nice OC, good to see AM2 chips clockin' high:cool:

[tvdang7]

dang!! nice!! ive never hit 3 before......... had 3 165's and 1 good 146 but still no 3ghz......... good to see u did it with a value chip !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cornelious0_0]

Very nice stuff indeed...always good to see some nice OC's out of new hardware...and a 3GHz Sempy is pretty nice indeed...about the same 1M time as my 2.96GHz Venice on stock cooling on my Ultra-D.

[Fr3ak]

Nice OC! But I wonder whats holding AM2 chips back. Maybe mainboards or the dc mem controller?
I could run 3150Mhz on air with a 2800+ S754.
