AMD 4Gz Air Cooling Club

[WSP]

AMD 4Ghz Air Cooling Club.
care to join?

-- Any AMD processors running >4ghz ON AIR COOLING setups
-- post your Cinebench R10, Superpi 32M, 3DMark 2006 or 3DMark Vantage (CPU score Only, and no PhysX accelerator)
-- State your hardware (proc, mobo, RAMs, Cooling Devices)

here's mine:

* Phenom II X2 550BE (dont ask if I can unlock it or not---I CANT UNLOCK the extra core stable enough )
* MSI 770-C45 bios 1.3B2
* Team Xtreem 1866 C8 DDR3 2x1Gb
* thermalright Ultra 120-Extreme
* WinXP SP2

here's the result:

Cinebench R10:


Superpi 32M:


3DMark 2006:


3DMark Vantage @Win7:



I will try to update on the list

cheers

THE LIST:

Hi !

what's your cooling and temps ?

[BeepBeep2]

Why dont we have a 4Ghz STABLE club, instead of a "look I can run some benchmarks @ 4GHZ" club?

[martin-da-man]

isnt the CPU pretty stable wen it can run a chinebench, as far as i know it stresse the cores out 100%.
and how many times are your cores stressed 100% more than 5 min

Computation errors are random... You can run prime or cinebench for hours without errors, but then open up firefox for instance and it crashes.

[BeepBeep2]

LOL I can do Cinebench on unstable settings, it's not that hard.

How about a 1 hour OCCT or 6 hour Prime...at least.

I can pass Prime in 4 hours then fail OCCT in 5 minutes, I don't see the point running OCCT for that long.

I can pass Prime in 4 hours then fail OCCT in 5 minutes, I don't see the point running OCCT for that long.

and so it begins again, the age old debate on how long you can run prime or OCCT, and peeps try for 4 and 6 hours, and then complian when,

it was running fine, i had 8 hours prime blend stable and it just woosh, shut down....i tried to resart the rig and the fans came on and that is it, can anyone help me?

yeah i can help you, buy another mobo and next time dont be a smart ass and try and run prime and OCCT for 8 hrs straight

but no matter what i say, i bet you get at least one in this thread alone who will try and put in a reply like the one above,

ill be watching

[BeepBeep2]

Which is why I dont like stability tests to start out with. I usually only run OCCT for 45 minutes to confirm in the end....

i bet you get at least one in this thread alone who will try and put in a reply like the one above

Is it my fault they buy a mobo which isn't good enough to support their overclock? If it craps out in Prime it will crap out eventually anyway.


How about OCCT 1/2 hour Small FFT? That means at least you are probably stable...

[WSP]

@Seth-01--->
Cooling: Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme, with dual fans (push-pull). no need for super fan, just a 1800rpm fan will do.
temp go about 23-27°C idle and 30-35°C full load. Caseless, ambient temp about 20°C at night and 24°C at noon . Vcore 1,555v from bios

if you can manage under 30°C idle, Phenom II will clocked nicely. it likes cold

@BeepBeep2--->
well...first of all, I dont like the idea of stressing my PC with OCCT, Prime95 or Orthos. I do only use them to check stability for only 10 or 20 minutes.

IMO, if my PC can run those benchmark and games for at least 3 hours, I call it stable. the definition of stable vary amongst people, right?

[BeepBeep2]

Look, all I'm saying is that guys could have a stable overclock of 3.9 Ghz but run all of those benchmarks just fine at 4 or 4.1 Ghz.

I myself never run more than an hour and a half at all anyway.

[FlanK3r]

I have stable 3.9GHz, but i cant run Cinebench at 4GHz :-/...Cinebench is very hard for NB stress

[BeepBeep2]

I shouldn't even have posted. :P

[soundood]

I shouldn't even have posted. :P

no you should have posted beep beep, what you are saying is fine

but the 'is it stable' debate is a funny one, i have seen a post run to 5 pages, just trying to work out a common agreement on what is considered stable.

its a difficult one to agree on, but that doesnt mean your input isnt valid

look at this thread 'the list of Phenom Overclocks' yu will see its agreed that 2 hrs prime stable or 1 hr OCCT is accepted, but read on from post 2, you will see the whole debate on this went on for ages

I think this whole thing is ridiculous!

The man said:

-- Any AMD processors running >4ghz ON AIR COOLING setups
-- post your Cinebench R10, Superpi 32M, 3DMark 2006 or 3DMark Vantage (CPU score Only, and no PhysX accelerator)
-- State your hardware (proc, mobo, RAMs, Cooling Devices)

No where in his entire post does it say the word "Stable". 4Ghz, Bench, and Air Cooling is what it says!
So, if you have a Phenom CPU that is Air cooled and have some good bench runs you want to show off, post em'...geez

BTW, WSP, Welcome to XS!

[BeepBeep2]

Thanks man, I was going to end it there but someone has to keep telling the obvious. Glad you think I'm rediculous.

soundood, thanks for not rejecting my input.

[Venom-Crusher]

OCCT Prime95 Blend 2hr Pass @ 3.952GHz

PhenomII X2 550BE 0922 DPGW @ X4 B50 BE

Gigabyte MA790FXt-UD5P Bios F5

Ultre120-True Copper

Ambient ~22C

[crazydiamond]

i really like this thread actually, we should get a nice range of cpu's/scores/volts/etc, i think it will be pretty interesting - after my summer classes end thursday ill take some time and run some benchies

[m411b]

No, no dude! Don't take what I typed personally. I didn't type "BeepBeep2 you are ridiculous", and no one rejected your input! And if things are so obvious, then why would you attack the OP who happens to be a NEW member with this:

Why don't we have a 4Ghz STABLE club, instead of a "look I can run some benchmarks @ 4GHZ" club?

If you want a "4Ghz STABLE club" then start a new thread for it!
Now, I don't have anything to contribute to this thread so I am done with it. Sorry for crapping your thread WSP..

wow !!! it's very very low for 4 GHz and a vcore of 1.555v

With my X2 unlocked and overed @ 3.79 GHz vcore 1.475v (stable OCCT at this settings), my room temp is 26° and when OCCT works, TMPIN1 goes to 57° Cooling is : True Black 120 + 2 fans (noctua & antec tricool)

Maybe Venom is running his system without a case.

"Sorry sir, we can't allow you to join because you are short 2.4MHz"

[soundood]

yeah guys i would say what beep beep said, do a half hour prime and then give us a screen of your scores, it is just for fun, and there is no need to stress your rig to failing.

[Daveburt714]

I'm with you Beep.... I've seen too many AMD folks POP their mobos running stress programs for hours on end....

I usually just run Prime or OCCT for an hour and then consider it stable, if I run into problems during everyday use down the road (VERY RARE), I'll just back things down a little...

WSP: Nice results as an X2 man, did you try unlocking it?

[FlanK3r]

Daveburt: try LinX, its great, around 15-20 minutes u are know, if your PC is stable
