AM2 FX62 Overclocking Action!

AM2 FX62 Overclocking Action!

I found that this FX62 was a pretty good overclocker. I haven’t had a chance to overclock it on water yet.
First I tested it on my -95C cascade, it lasted all of about 20 seconds, yes it has a cold bug, froze up around -40C
I then put it on my -30C cooler and it ran well. Nice stable speed of 3636MHz. I had to keep my HTT down because of the cold bug so I used the 18 multi, basically 202x18 using 1.58V.
The memory was running at 808MHz.

Hardware used:
FX62
Foxconn NF5 motherboard
2x1024MB Corsair 8500C5
2x 7900GTX
OCZ 700W PSU
PCIce -30C CPU cooler

The Foxconn mobo is a pretty good board, very stable, easy to overclock, and very forgiving. I like this AM2 stuff. The CPU needs very little voltage, must be that there is no stress on the chip with the High Latency DDR2

any benchs?

steping?

any benchs?

steping?

step u can see it on cpuz,u should ask him ,which week

[Supertim0r]

nice OPP !
conroe on the way...to compare ?

[metro.cl]

step u can see it on cpuz,u should ask him ,which week

then complete stepping please

try cpu brain identifier it lets you adjunts latencies and reads vcore correctly

nice work! can we see some 1m results?

1M I was geting in the 23s.

what's the Tcasemax ?

The cool thing about this motherboard is the PCIe clocks. The two x16 buses default at 125MHz as apposed to 100MHz. If you have 7900GTX cards you will find you can overclock the core on those cards a lot higher with this feature. I gained 100MHz overclock on my 7900 cards running in SLI.

cards on air, water ?

nice, both results on top10

just from raising PCIE bus mhz?

Well you have to have cool cards to take advantage of the PCIe bus.
If your cards are doing 70C then there won't be much of an overclock gain no matter how hard you try for better clocks.

is it an ES ?

Hmm thats cool! I've been overclocking my PCIe bus for awhile now though, 135mhz

Is that running SLI?

[phelonius]

is this a handpicked one?

[nn_step]

is this a handpicked one?

Absolutely not.. but what I can say it is an outerspin.. So expected to be wowed....

[GoThr3k]

insane speed at that voltage
nice one oppainter
does it overclock wel on air??

[AgentVX]

OPP doesn't do air, as far as I remember.

[v0dka]

insane speed at that voltage

You can say that again!

Didnt expect too much form AM2 but this looks pretty good.

Can you please go to 1.7v OPP?

4ghz amd stable doesnt look far away for 3D mark

Thx for the benches OPP!
