The Official X2 Overclocking Thread (Please Post Your OC's)

OK, I just found this in a local forum, so please don't ask me how it was "done" (it may be best to query the original poster!) :

you decide....

6.1 Ghz on a dual core is an error, bug, etc. Everyone here should know that

[Astennu]

What cpu's have the E4 and E6 core.

Got a E6 Opteron 165 now but it hates my ballistix. I heared that all new E6 cores have that problem. So i need a new cpu.

I can choose the folowing:

X2 3800+ for 305 $
X2 4200+ For 370$
A Opteron 170 for 430 $
Or a X2 4400+ For 470 $

If i take the E6 cores there is a chance that i have to swap mamory aswell. What would you guy's do ?

You're going to have to accept that your Ballistix might not like themselves either. Mine aren't as good as they were and that seems to be normal.

When they fall below spec, hopefully an RMA with bring me replacements with some Rev F Micron goodness.

Thats not the case pulled out me old cpu and they did 270 mhz. Cant do that with the opteron not even 250. but one cant run 250 @ 2.6 i think its dammage but don't like RMA takes 2 months and need pc every day.

[chew*]

Figured id post the cpu that preety much was the beginning for the LDBHE X2 craze.

This was when i first started researching the x2 steppings about 3 months ago
LDBHE 0539 RPMW IRC its been under phase so long but i think its the correct stepping. This was in the batch 0500 range. 1.6v 24/7 stable. this is actually an old shot. I've since tweaked the ram timings quite a bit.

[stone_cold_Jimi]

Nice chew*, but 1.792v? Is that real? I'm afraid of that kind of voltage lol.

nah thats a bug on the grouper board...with cpu-z. 1.6v is the max i'm comfortable pushing into a cpu on phase for 24/7 use. This is my everyday rig. I do everything on it while running rosetta 24/7 in the background, I don't even realize its running.........those were completely untweaked video settings to....

That's nice then. I wound the 0607 N back to 3000/1.5v, it's comfortable there with CPU at -14C (Rosetta running). 3100/1.62v was about 6C warmer, still haven't tweaked the mem some more to get rid of the random error, I'll see how these 2 WUs get on at lower speed and voltage.

I'm very Happy because My X2 3800+ LDBFE 0607TPMW Can Get Pass Dual Stress Prime2004 at 2.9 Ghz With V-core 1.472

My room temp, approx 30-32 C

My new toy



Should fly at -70C. And it better since I'm losing cache coming from a 170. Going to fire it up soon. On air that is. Dice friday.

[Supertim0r]

results on air ?

Post results soonest. This is the second 060x that I've seen with an AW ending on the date code. It's generally MW. It's something to do with mixing batches or not, can't find the table just now. Anyone?

Dont know why CPU-Z shows Ram @ 196 , actually it is @ 221 ( look at A64 Twaeker )

1M stable at 3.2? What cooling?

Sorry! Single stage phase (Vapo LS). They're not as good as the 0601s, but they're good. The one I took out earlier had run Rosetta at 3100 for hours; this one looks like it will do the same (but runs at 1.47v at 3GHz, less than the 4600).

[Absolute_0]

Oh ok, i was thinking it was air/water for a second hehe.

I just got this, thanks to Chew* for hookin me up


Water results in a few minutes

Yes its an N chip
MaxTcasetemp is 69c

[stone_cold_Jimi]

Can't wait! TPMW and #203....

[Supertim0r]

good luck with your 3800
is it going straight under phase ?

[Absolute_0]

under water right now, priming at 2.9 Ghz.

Phase in a few days, i'm going on spring break and need to move my comp back home.

2.95 fails with 1.6
2.90 fails with 1.56
2.85 fails with 1.48
Guess i really need to raise volts

TT BigTyphoon - 1300RPM

Still climbing with this one. I have some issues to sort out before I can get it any higher. BIOS 704-2BTA wont let me run the BallistiX on divider over 225 HTT, so I have to run 1:1 and my BallistiX seems to crap out at 285 3-3-3-7

With only 1.4v for 2850 im hoping 2950-3000Mhz maybe... would be nice a nice 24/7 clock.

Damn, i've got the same chip with 0203 batch #.
Needs 1.52v and watercooling to get 2.85 stable though

[stone_cold_Jimi]

Presenting LDBFE 0607SPMW "T" a.k.a. "Mr T" under phase pwning my CDBHE 4600 at 3000 MHz. It's running Rosetta 16/7 (can't leave it on overnight or I'll get an ASBO off the neighbours), so instead of SP2004, here's a more realistic shot:

[manomanx2]

Been looking through these nice 06 steppings and I've decided to hop off the Opter-craze and onto the x2. Are these good 06 stepping still available at places like Newegg or Monarch? Am I still guaranteed a great clocker, or should I buy privately?

2006 X2 = 2.8ghz almost guaranteed

[manomanx2]

Yes, I figured that much. However, are the good ones still widely available at Newegg and Monarch, or would I have to buy privately?
