OCing on a Budget

[AuToFiRE]

Are you talking about 5ghz with one core, or are you talking 5ghz with all 6 cores? Anyone can do a simple suicide run to get a screen shot with only one core going super fast, and anyone can use photoshop to retouch an image. You sure can talk the talk, but to walk the walk we need to see some results. Stop flapping them gums, all that hot air isnt good for overclocking with air.

Give it time, Im still waiting for half the parts to come in, this is canada after all, it comes in by dogsled

and to prove its not going to be a suicide run i will be running inxi, it will also show uptime (yes im a 'nix user)

cool! an Extreme run in the making!
will be waiting for your extreme experiment

BTW what was that you said about putting FOIL in between the proc & HSF? can you expound more on this?

Of course, I wiped all the heat gel off, i took a piece of tin foil, the exact same you wrap your food in, folded it up to match up with the CPU as flat as possible, stuck the heatsink on and locked the mounts down, ran it at load for 24 hours and it was running 3 degrees celcius cooler then before, i was actually quite surprised myself

just load her up @ 5ghz n get the casket ready

your best bet is to swap out the fan on the stock heatsink with a 7k rpm delta and put the PC outside (depending on where you live in canada, and how cold it is out there.) and maybe with some 1.7v suicide shots, you can reach 5ghz.

but whats the point on OCing with a budget, then go and buy the most expensive AMD chip? a 1055T is going to reduce your total PC cost by 10%, but should get withing 10% of the same clocks. which is a 400mhz difference past the 4ghz mark.

a real budget PC would be to buy an x2, and unlock it and OC it.

im not talking poor man budget, i can build one of those for $200, im talking being able to last more than 3 months but still in the price range of in store pcs

why the stock heatsink? if you're just looking for non-tower coolers i'd suggest an XP-90c.

do you need to put any silicon grease?
if yes on which side?

How about doing some superpi 32m runs, and running OCCT, now those are some stability testing aps right there.

wait, what?

I bet you a: PICTURE OF ME IN YOUR WOMAN'S BLUE PANTIES.... you don't even close !!

Pull you head out of your arse, come back to reality and stop pulling your !

a troll he might be, he's on a mission so let's see this thing through as a team, guys.

[demonkevy666]

so what cpu is he going to do this on ?

[metalop1g]

A phenom x6.

U have balls man! keep up the work

I hope the sleigh-dogs didn't die in the cold

[M.Beier]

I think its possible mate, wouldnt go for the tin foil though...

However; 5ghz with box cooler is possible, during a hurrican on southpole, no problem!

[Sodapopjones]

I wonder if dude fried his CPU by now?

[Mats]

Maybe you've already seen this, and while it's not with stock heatsinks, it's probably the best answer I can give you: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=250607
Oh and remember to post your results in that thread when you're done!

Hint: They didn't use a Noctua D14 only to get quieter operation.

What makes that a $250,000 frisbee? Did not think wafers were anywhere near that much money.


I will take your bet. Need pictures of the setup running and screen shots showing settings and readings. Or a video would be best.

Good Luck, you will need it.

So, where is 5G? Ran out of tinfoil maybe?

[crazydiamond]

i think 5ghz valid on air will be possible.. if flank3r already got 4.8 w/ 20c ambients, with a good chip 5.0 may be possible w/ sub 0c ambients IMO but dont use heatpipes because they will freeze, use a solid AL or CU heatsink

So Ive ordered the parts for a new computer and it came to $1100CAD (yeah im cheap)

i got the Asus M4A89GTD-PRO/USB3 and the AMD 1090T BE

My goal is to OC to 5GHz for proof of concept for budget computing

now, i feel this can be accomplished quite easily on air cooling. what i wish to know is what experience do people have overclocking the 1090T and the motherboard with stock heatsinks, I know, I know "never clock with stock" but most aftermarket heatsinks are mainly used for quieter operation.

so to make this simple and short

what clock speeds have you gotten on stock heatsinks with those items and would my 5GHz goal be reachable, if not what speeds should i expect once i get the parts

With Stock Heatsink
4GHz is do-able , but 5GHz with Stock / Air Cooling is not possible

[GeorgeStorm]

I am eagerly looking forward to this
I also agree that it isnt possible, but would love to see you try

[TheGreenFoX]

There is NO way a Phenom II X6 will hit 5ghz with normal aircooling... Thinking that it will do it on air makes me laugh (sorry, no offence).

The spirit is just right, but a bit of reality would be welcome!

But have fun anyway

[radaja]

i really wish he would get back to us.a little update of sorts
"did he get the cpu yet"?has he tried?just a little info would be nice
because i still dont think it will happen with stock HS
