x2 5600+ (CCBVF 0651 WPMW) To 3.3 on Air
Been awhile since I have been able to get back hereto write. Been waiting to get a new MB to put the CPU and FireStix PC-6400s on.
Got an Abit An9 32x Fatel1ty board for $75. I seems just about as clockable as the DFI and a whole lot more stable. Later Bios are crap but the one I went back to is stable. I thinks its 1.5. Anyway , those that been using it know which one it is
Maybe someone can answer a few questions I have about the current setup.
CPU: AM2 5600+ CCBVF 0651WPMW
12 x 272
MEMORY : 2 x 1 gig Buffelo Firestix PC-6400
5-5-5-15 2.3v currently set at 667/800
Currently have the northbridge voltage set at 1.3v. Has solved a number of memory problems.
For cooling I am using an older Hyper 48 with a 92mm Torrnato fan. Noisy but I haven't gown over 50c yet even at full Othos.
Here's the questions. I think I'm at the limit for this chip and memory. At full speed, the firestixs start acting up on Vista. I could bumb up one more to 2.4 but I don't want to blow them out when I am think its thechip that will be the main limiting factor.
To get the memory back up to the 1000 mhz , I may need to really push the voltage to get the fsb back up . Its already pushing 1.6v.
My fastest setup and Othos stable has been at 12 x 265~ and full memory speed just short of 1100 at 2 x 539~
The 5600 has a base multi of 14 , I have went down 2. Should I be able to get a 14 and the the full memory divider if a get a 6400+? I have tried to read the stuff about how all this this done on the motherboard but its so confusing.
What's the top limits on these 89w chips? Should I be happy with the 400mhz increase in general terms. I need to a new sata3 HD before I get a new chip. And besides the prices will come down.
Later.
