The Phenom II List of Overclocks

[Ben_Brown]

Well I was able to play around with my new chip last night for about 2 hours so I was able to run 3DMark06 and some wPrime. I already posted the '06 results in another thread so I will show my wPrime results here. Even though temps were well under 50c it still seemed like there was some sort of heat issue. So as stated previously it seems that these things want to be cold.

[pershoot]

i experienced this 55/56c socket (61/62c coretemp) stress crash yesterday. if it stays at this temp for more then a few mins, it will fail. i couldnt figure out how my temps rose so much (the chipset was also spiking causing more heat to get to the rads).

i bought a dust remover spray and cleaned out the rads as best as i could without unscrewing them from the housing, cleaned out the side intake fan, and also topped off the res to max (was mid-way full (i think my tubing is quite porous, as I need to refill every 5-6 months, and doesn't look like i have a leak)). temps dropped 7-10c! stable again. i think i could even add more voltage to get 3.8, but eh summer is coming, and that will add more c's, so best to just leave it here. bad result is that i can hear the intake fan now, hehe. maybe ill swap it out with a more efficient one..

word to the wise folks, clean out the dust critters every 6 months!

This whole thread is worthless if people have been shutting down 3 cores just to show a high clock at low voltages.......Thank god my results are legit......and Im starting to think when I look at other peoples results that are lacking that there are now reasons behind it.

Stop crying mister, the 3 cores weren't shut down, they where just running 3.6GHz.

Geez what's with you guys?

Anyone noticed im on a frikkin stockcooler?

Rest assured as i will give you some results with all 4 cores running full throttle once i get the cooling sorted.

It's just taking some time, check my sig and you'll see why.

I wish i had just lied and said it was running all 4 cores, would you have noticed??

First off I wasnt talking to you.........Im refering to other results.....you stated you had shut down the cores so thats obvious.......if you dont understand that

[Zeus]

If it wasn't pointed at me i apoligize but tbh, i haven't seen any other result with cores turned off. I must admit that i haven't looked closely though.

It was not aimed at you at all........just my own realization that people could just leave cores stock and up one core. So what Im saying is that the list is kind of useless if people have been doing this........Im going to edit my response to you.

No need to, no hard feelings.

K10 stats allows you to overclock each core on it's own, for me it was nice, that one core seemed just a tad stronger than the others and helped me to run 3.9GHz for 1M.

I could have taken a pic of 4GHz with the same voltage but i didn't succeed to validate though.

Temps are really bad on this setup right now as it idles at 43ºC with 1.35V.

its cool, I do all my overclocking through the bios, I dont know if thats better or worse. Im also not sure if overclocking through AOD will net you higher overclocks that will succeed in windows but cant pass a straight boot through the bios startup.

Zeus, we fully appreciate you being honest. I fully understand you are on stock and I can appreciate your concern for temps as I am somewhat conservative my self. Please don't take this directed at you.

I tend to agree with titan here though on the useless thing in the sense that I personally don't think its right to mislead people.......If everyone started popping up 4.6g shots at 1.45 volts...... and PI runs on 1 core at 4.4-4.5 while all the other cores were stock or underclocked it would be very misleading, espcially if not noted........or intentionally not noted or even worse claiming to be all 4 cores. This is specifically why I ask for Cinebench runs or 3d as its a dead giveaway performance wise.

If viewers made purchases or went stepping hunting based on the results and could not come close to acchieving that goal they would be upset.....I know I would be.

This is what Im saying, I just hope people have been honest. I for one have run every single test including superpi 1m and 32m with all 4 cores. Makes me know that the cpu is actually capable of the clocks Im trying to attain.

[Zeus]

Well yes, there's many way to fool people, that has never been my intention and never will be-- that's why i said it was only 1 core.

I do understand your guys concern though and will not promote the usage of this prog here.

Usually i overclock from bios only myself but windows7 64bit seems pretty hard on the cpu whilst booting so i had to use a prog in windows.

Btw, is there any program that allows tweaking memory on the fly like Intel has memset?

I found an old copy of A64 tweaker on my HD (anyone familiar with that good old program?) but it didn't work for K10 it seems.

Yah your PI scores are impressive, I have yet to accheive those speeds stable enough to bench with my retail chip. I also know they are legit, your 3d06 run is indicative of that maybe with TRUE i can match you.

By all means use it, use page 2 though, P state all cores. Thats what I have used for all my validations. AOD is still a little buggy. And by all means crank up a single core till you get better cooling, I don't want to see you kill a chip due to heat. Just don't forget to note it was 1 core.

[Rammsteiner]

Finally got my setup running, under OCCT 3.0.0 28~29C. That's at stock though. Under idle it's 19~20C

awesome. looks like a nice triple rad at work there?

time to ramp it up! hehe.

[fizur2002]

god i want to get my 120.3 x2 going again, nice little setup for CPU and NB cooling.

Exactly,, CAPABLE CLOCKS with all cores is what we need indeed


Hmm Hi Pi and Huge single Core runs are Nice . If it NOT Stated its Single Core Run it can spoil the overall Average making some think oh another 4.4ghz bla bla bla.

Besides that, The progress is amazing even in the last Month with 940,, Its just Amazing.

Im noticing the Yiel/Batches are getting better and that lower Volts can be used for higher Clocks now. Yup even some of us people are Trying Higher Volts for max runs too. Its Nice that the 45nm Cx (IMC and even NB/NT is a lot tougher than the 65nm B3 counterpart it replaces.

Im still holding out till First week of March then hopefully ill get another torture chip. I want to pick wisely since i wont grab another CPU probally untill end of August.

Several projects i have to weld up for Summer ,,starting with my F-150 (Hmm ittle baja project). Once April is here its welding and Fabing pretty much 16hrs a day.

925 0849CPAW @ Bus Speed 335X13.5 (max multi 14X)
OC'd from bios then upped multi wth K10stat in windows
Probly can go higher with better ram

1.65Vcore Single Stage cooling...

Sorry if this sounds lame but is this under Phase change?

"1.65Vcore Single Stage cooling..." = single stage phase change and if my math is right probably effective -30 to -50 temps at the core.

[fizur2002]

What would you guys think about a website who had results similar to this thread but with AMD and intel variants? I am in the works on starting one up, but i will leave the juicy details for later on after ive got it up and running, should be great fun and tons of info to boot.

Hello everybody, first sorry for my English
I am an owner to AMD Phenom II 940
Revision:
HDZ940XCJ4DGI
AACSC AC 0841GPMW

I have problems with overlocking, I cannot achieve a higher value from 3,720. Somebody with "0841" is it possible to share his impressions with overclocking.

You have a good overclock with that processor. Im going to say that 90% of the time, someone with over 4Ghz with these chips are on good water cooling. Most of us will not get higher than 3.8Ghz without insane voltage increases.
