Overclocking my new pretty Sys [AMD]

[killingspreez]

Hi at all,
now everything is okay. System is fully stable and i'm f**king happy :)
all results ARE NOT THE LIMIT. just little test-actions.

look at the pics and say what you think and which options i could optimize.


*SPECIAL THANKS TO CHARLIE AND G.SKILL*

Here some actions:

and a few runs with 3,4vdimm

the same again just more MHZ@CPU

is this result good for only 255mhz?!

Okay.......suggestions?

thank's
your ram is doing a great job!

i'll max the system after my holidays in prague ;)

Looks good to me. I was a tad over that with water cooling a 1.64 volts. SIg. But then I got the idea to remove my IHS and lost almost 100 mhz oc and gained 2c cooler temps. I know I need to figure that out but I am sure youll be about the same speed as I am if you cranked the volts up a tad. Gotta love these SD cores.

[killingspreez]

hm i still got one problem :(
if i set the 4vdimm jumper sometimes i can't set vdimm higher than 3,2v in the bios.
any trick to get it to work?

Not much of an answer - but you could restart your pc to see if that helps, or you could try another bios. There's about 50 bios for that board. :p:

[killingspreez]

yes but jsut one is working for me!
it's the 7.04-2b or something like that.
all others won't boot with multi bigger than 9x and the 6.23 / 6.18 don't support lan here :(

that sucks ^^

Be very careful with that bios, high cpu voltage percent multipliers will kill CPUs because of a bug.

[killingspreez]

i'm just using up to 110% i hope it's "safe"
and everytime i set a new v-core i look into the bios before booting into win.

I think 1.1 is ok, I think deaths started happening at 1.2s and above.

mfgu have to set a vcore other than 1.400 to be able to select vdimm over 3.2v

[Xyus89]

If it's a big prob what lots of people , there will be an new official bios in a short while.

[killingspreez]

okay today i returned from prague !
it was great....well tomorrow i'll overclock again and push for the real limits.
now it's cold the screens were taken with an ambienttemp of ~28-32°C!!

mfg

[killingspreez]

new record.......
i'll push for the 28" ;)

:) greetings from estonia

that`s nice result, but this SD cpu can do more

i got 0522XPMW chip 3700+ SD and i`m cooling it w/ air

just pushed my best SPI 1M time under 28secs :p:

27,953s to be exact: http://www.zone.ee/urmoz/Bench/SPI%20Rec.JPG?2

:banana: just keep goin`

[harleybro]

Nice results so far killingspreez. :toast: I had the sae chip for a few days and was really impressed with it's OCing capabilities. Do you have any A64 tweaker screenies? :)

[babyelf]

keep going :toast:

looks like a good chip :)

[ZeroX]

Keed the good job.

I think u can do under 28.5s ;)

Regards

[killingspreez]

well here are some newer screens....
maximum ram-freq. @ 3,6v

and fastest pi-score

i'll break 2,9 -2,95 ghz if the ambient-temp is under 0°C
i love the winter ;)

very nice
