AM2 FX62 Overclocking Action!

[n91htmare]

Another CBugged FX
Bad news for AMD, I think that the people that have try FX-60, will not buy the FX-62.
What a sad, I think that AMD must adjust this problem, otherwise many people will boicot this chip.

Many people? why do a lot of people live in igloos?

Less than 1 percent of users go as far as using phase change. Why would AMD spend money and resources to please the less than 1% crowd?

[GoThr3k]

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

[tzitzos]

nice opp

when you can show us some spi test 1M /32M

[althes]

not bad at all

[Escobar999]

there u go opp!!!

very nice indeed

[zakelwe]

Not a bad Mhz value at all if AMD's "bare" chips are not as good as retail. Nice scoring on 3dmark as well Opp ..

Thx for the benches OPP!

thats looking good so far!, anyone know what the price for one of these are going to be? and would this push all the s939 prices down a lot?


cheers

Good stuff from k|ngp|n on his setup with 3D.

did you saw,if you did it that is, any difference going to higher frequency and T2?

I didn't go higher. This 8500 I used is rated at 1104MHz 5-5-5-15 2T as aposed to what I used 808MHz 4-4-3-5 1T.

I'll have to put the CPU on water to really play with the memory do to the fact the cold bug keeps me at low HTT.

AM2 looking good , thanks for sharing your results.

AM2 looking good , thanks for sharing your results.

Yes I like the new AM2 myself. I think I'll be switching my 24/7 PC over to AM2.
Looks like I can sell all my regular DDR memory now

[k|ngp|n]

Nice stuff OPP Looking forward to more bro.

[OPPAINTER]

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.

Nice results Opp! Thanks for sharing.

More like less than %0.01

I'd still like to see coldbug get fixed however. FX55 Clawhammers are getting to be distant memories....

How is the HTT scaling? These chips were supposed to scale alot higher on the bus than what Intel is capable of doing and yet I havent seen anyone with a picture of them over 300 HTT?

[Hystrix^]

Nice, can you run superpi?

Like I've said about 2 times on this thread, I havn't tested for high HTT do to the fact that the CPU has a cold bug. I will need to use water for testing high memory clocks and HTT.
So far I have only ran the CPU on Phase Change.

I won't be running the setup for a day or so when I get some more memory in.
I'll do some superpi then.

[cupra]

well done opp - like always

i wonder if the system can go over 400mhz in T1 ?
do you see any performance difference between the ddr2 timings ?

Understandable and I appologize for not seeing that remark from previous responses.

The reason I am bringing this is up is because I heard from people with contacts at AMD that the engineers designed the IMC of AM2 to withstand HTT speeds in excess of 500. I wanted to see if this is true or not which is why I asked. AM2's only saving grace is its bandwith that it can supposedly hit.

I know it can do atleast 275 on the MSI board since I know somone personally who has it. I just found it odd that you and seemingly everyone else has not pushed the HTT on their boards yet, thats all

Yes I'd really like to find out myself.
I have to figuer out some new mounting for a waterblock I have here and then I can really play with the setup.
I just havn't gotten around to it.

The mounting holes look very similar to that of a Xeon. If you're in a modding mood id start looking there first Or you could get a plexi-top and drill from there

New Swiftech brackets are being made as we speak. I just talked to Gabe.

Looking forward to it too. Since it's coldbugged, it should perform nicely on air.
