FX-60 Air Cooling OverClock

hey guyz do you wanna see something special?
i've got some new hw by deepoverclock

http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/333/foto4770fr.jpg

here it is the cooling,simply is the stock air cooling and i left also the thermal pad applied by amd
the temperature of the room was 25°C

now let's see some images of the clockin'

http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/9...agine104oq.jpg

surely this is not the highest benchable frequence and the os wasn't also tweaked i think i can make a 1m pi 50mhz upper or a bit more

http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=68732

this is what i've had the night when i learnt more about the cpu and how to take better the hell from it

bye to all;)

gloatlizard

great ale;)
I attempt the ln2 cooling:D

With LN2 chip would not even post.

i will try surely the dryice;) i hope to do that after some days;)

Mine freezes @-38C evap. temp.@ 236 htt:(

Really good cpu with air...

-38 evap temps damn sooo ulgy

Very nice OC :)
Need some subzero cooling if possible.

What's the stepping?

Gotta work it out with warmer than -40C evap....Multi 14X is a real challange and only possible with precise temperature timing.

DUMO,have you a 0548?

@ Gloat congratulations my friend...great cpu!!!

i'm doing a try lol it's quite funny it's rock solid at 3ghz with only 1,45v staying at 47°C max while doing the superpi

my cpu is a 0536

nice clock goatlizard, did you run any stability testing at that clock :confused:

Same here 0536UPMW....

Nice ones you got there Goatlizard:toast:

OK TKS...tomorrow I will receive my FX-60 and I think it will be a 0536:)

very good numbers u got rite there,my friend

now show us some DICE clocking ;)

aussie7 like i've written i'm rock solid at 3000mhz with 1,45v i can run superpi1m at 3100mhz but i think that the best benchable frequence is 50mhz upper so 3150;)

some interesting images

http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/6...hunter99wn.jpg

in the first image pls note that i've been able to boot from bios with the 15x moltiplier
in the second there is a good frequence in rapport to the vcore

Nice setup keep it going

Nice cpu:) what's the stepping 0536 ?

CAB2E is all you need to know. Horrible for phase change... :(

anyone tried 0536 wpmw fx60 ?..:D

lol indeed, some report coldbug even at +14C


All these CAB2E are great for air/water but not more.

hey guyz this is a 0536 and of this i'm sure but i can't find the paper where i wrote the full serial,damn i've to take oh the heatsink again lol
however what are the 0536 that are known to be good under zero?

none, you have a B2 memory controller....

that's an amazing dualcore clock on air - give it some sub temps ;)

sure when my lather will send me the container i will order the dryice:D
i hope that the cold bug will be slow:(

Sorry missed that in the original post, still nice speed :)

How can the FX-60 be 0536? Thats September 05 and the launch was around Christmas - new year right?

Are they very good x2 4800s that AMD was reserving lol?

Too bad allmost all of the CPU's got some kind of coldbug ;/

congrats on your great FX60, hope it doesn't have a big coldbug...

a little offtopic Gloatlizard, while i was @ techzonept forums, i saw you're getting a Ricky's Cascade ;) and yesterday i saw there that now that the beast is almost finished, is getting awesome results ;)
hope to see some big results soon from it ;)

the cascade is growing great but unlucky i surely won't be able to try it on this fx60:(

that is impressive

What aircooling are you running here?

I'm currently @ 2860Mhz, 13x220, 1.5V and temps are 53@CPU, 57@PWMIC, 48@CHIPSET. Using a TT Big Tyhpoon.
Trying to reach atleast 3000Mhz for 24/7 use.

Go for ln2... DI wont give you benefit as it will stay -79 and with coldbug thats hard. Even if its under -79 base temp you have benefit with ln2 :D

ha Alex.... seems not so good :(

but the cpu cooler is really cool . is that FX60's stock cooler ?

I've been putzing around with my 0536 FX-60 lately and wanted to share my results. Using a DFI Lanparty NF4 SLI-DR and an SI-120 w/ Panaflo, I'm 24/7 stable running the proc at 3080Mhz (220x14) @1.425v. I'm running my 2x 1024MB DDR400 Corsair at 2.5-3-3-6-1T @2.8v. With my 2x 7800GTX 256MB I'm able to pull off 14613 in 3dmark05. Check the pic for associated cpuz, everest temps, and SuperPI stuffs.

Basically, this is my first real attempt at overclocking more than a single speed grade, and this is the first time I've been able to afford decent parts. I've worked with computers for a good while but I'm a complete n00b at overclocking. How am I doing? Any suggestions? I'd love to hit 3.2 on air but I haven't been 24/7 stable at anything above where I am. I've been very conservative with my voltages and should probably open them up more to see if I can go higher, but I want to take care of my baby. :)

Any comments are appreciated.

How many times must this be said :p:- Dual cores need dual Spi/Prime 95 running. Running only one instance loads 50%..

Thank you, good catch! I'm dual-priming tonight.

Because you're running 1 instance. Run dual pi. If you don't run dual pi then you can't even say your CPU is 1m stable.

I couldn't prime for more than about an hour so I upped the voltage on the proc, now I've been dual-priming (did it right this time ;) ) for over 6 hours without a hiccup. Here's a shot of where I'm at. One question, are my temps a bit high for my overclock? I'm using a SI-120 and a Panaflo inside a Sonata II with a pair of Coolermaster 120mm fans. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I wanted to get your insights. What are "safe" temps on air?

I'm about an hour from being 24-hour dual-prime stable on my 3.08Ghz FX-60, so I figured I'd get it CPUz validated.

Here it is: http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=77985

While that system's running I think I'm going to start working on my SFF box. Heh, this overclocking is becoming addictive...

Nice, I hope my FX60 will be as nice tas that. My goal would be 3Ghz 24/7 use as well.

you keep saying this... why.. spi is single threaded.. if you say so you also have to run 3d m 06 twice :S that is also a no go... fastest time counts!

The pic doesn't show voltage.
I'm trying to get my fx60 24/7 at 3.0ghz aswell, under a TT BT + good flow in the case. Should be possible, and the easiest way to get my DDR500 mem to acctually run at right speed with a good cpu speed..

I just can't seem to get my cpu stable at 2828+ .. even raised ldt and chipset voltage by 0.1.. Tried voltages up to 1.55 but I think DFI expert bios is undervolting, both CPU-Z and SmartGuardian shows 0.3 less then I set. Anyone got any thoughts? Sorry for jacking thread a bit.

amazing

I gonna do my first steps to OC my FX60 with ASUS Crossfire MoBo with 3200 chipset. I hope i gonna be lucky and to reach 3000MHz i have XP-90 and XP-120 i just wonder wich one of them to use ....

Do you mean CPU-z is showing 1.25v? If so then that'll definately be a hinderance in getting a 3Ghz overclock. I had to get over 1.45 before my system would run stably at 3.08Ghz. I didn't have to raise my LDT or chipset voltages, but ymmv.

I'm running my Proc at 220x14 using 1.4V+110% in BIOS (Shows as 1.488 in Everest or CPUZ). My memory is Corsair TwinX 2048-3200C2 (2x1024MB) running 2.5-3-3-6-1T @ 1:1 (440) using 2.8v. This is being run on a DFI NF4-SLI DR board in a PACKED Antec Sonata II case with a Thermalright SI-120 and 120mm Panaflo. By packed I mean I'm running 2x DVD-R/W, 2x Raptor 74GB, 2x WD 250GB, 2x 7800GTX, X-Fi Platinum (w/ front panel), Floppy, Media Card reader, TruePower 550 PS, and 3x 120mm Coolermaster green LED fans.

This is my dedicated gaming machine that I take to LAN parties and such, so I had to make sure it wouldn't be cratering on me in the middle of an event. Thanks to a lot of the tips I've read on this and other forums, I've finally reached my 24/7 3GB dual-core OC.

Over clocking is like a drug to me when I start I can't stop. I am so glad I don't have a big enough case I would like for water cooling or a cascade lol. But I am getting my TT BT tomorrow so I am going to try and beat my personal best :)

Nice clock I look forword to the next one on LN2 or DICE.

Ah sorry, ment it showing 0.03 less ... Still dont think my cpu will do 3.08 with those settings. Gonna try right away and see what happens. Thanks for the tips.

It wont do it :-( Maybe I have a sucky one.
I even tried doing ldt/multi : x4 instead just so it wasn't above the normal limit of 2000mhz but it should be ok right up to 2200 right?
No idea what the :banana::banana::banana::banana:'s going on, but i started a new thread with pic and stuff here:

Hm, my other memory is some 512Mb OCZ Gold 4000 VX. It runs wicked timings at 250Mhz (2-2-2-8) under 3.2v, and I was able to make my FX-60 run prime stable at 250x12 (4x HTT Multi) using a straight 1.55v. I bumped my LDT voltage by .1 as well, IIRC. My temps went a bit high (saw 61 at one point) but it ran stable and gave me some killer memory benches. I wish I had another 2 sticks of that stuff, but instead I run my Corsair so I can play BF2 with 2GB at 1T.

can i ask how old is your cpu-Z?

Those shots were with the 1.31 version. I just updated and revalidated: http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=80833

I presently own an X2 4400+ and I've only been able to reach 2.6GHz rock solid for 24/7 use on stock air cooling. I'm presently considering buying an FX-60 and try to reach 3.0GHz for 24/7 use, and put my 4400+ on a small basic system for my TVripping and encoding while I'm playing on my gaming machine.

@gloatlizard: What are your temps using the stock air cooling at burn speed running two instance of Prime95 ? Cuz I only see 37 celcius in idle on your screenies with 1.5 Vcore.

My 4400+ with stock cooling at 1.5 Vcore is around the same temps than your fx60, but in burn, it raise a lot, around 55 celcius with the fan being noisy at full speed.

what do you mean with burn speed? at stock mhz/vcore? or burn in setting, so default + high voltage? however i don't use this cpu from so much time, it's there on the desk, resting and waiting for ricky's cascade, i hope it will work...

gloatlizard;)

by burn I met 100% cpu used.

With my 4400+ I got 37 @ stock speed in idle... if you have 37 degrees at full load overclocked, I'm very impressed!!!

inside the case my best overclock for 1m super pi is 3085mhz (220.4x14) which gave me 27.141 but that wasnt optermised, ie themes and the rest running, so should be able to get it in the 26s. also my highest is

with 1.55v
