The Phenom II List of Overclocks

[massman]

Might be very good one. What is the cooling and the ambient temps.

Noctua NH-U12P + 1 120mm fan (12v). Ambient is about 15°C.



I'm not really getting the NB freq as high as I hoped; atm stuck at around 2400MHz. Maybe I need a bios update to get it working better.

[Stuen4y]

My NB is stuck also like yours to around 2.4GHz. What is the difference in percentage between 2.4 and 3 for example?

The difference in efficiency for 1M will be around 1500 maybe (2.4 - 70500 // 3.0 - 69000), which is very little in real-life. However, it's always cool to show off 3G NB clocks ...

Got it. I don't care about the NB from now on. I really prefer stability to some 0.2-0.5% performance increase.

Nope, my reading skills are just fine I think. My interpretation of his post was this: Core 2 was better than Phenom I. Core i7 is better than all other current CPUs. PhII is good. People judging PhII before trying it are maybe not the one's that should be doing the yelling.

Then you're response was quite aggressive and said that comparing CPUs is not what the thread was about and that OCing a C2 was easy as hell. Sure, you were right in both claims, the thread is about PhII OC and OCing a C2 is easy as hell. But nothing he said contradicts that nor does it imply a comparison between platforms. So if you just chill down a bit we'll all be happy

BTW; Are you TL1000S on sporthoj.com as well?

To Massman: Looks like a good chip if you're on air!

OT:

Dont think he is the right TL1000S... this TL1000S is from norway...the one on sporthoj.com is from umeå/sweden

But i´m from sporthoj but with another nick.....one stupid aprilia driver on sporthoj (both nick starts with L )

Maybe he just got the country wrong when he joined or something. I can almost swear that I've seen that avatar on SH... Could be "stolen" I guess.

And Massman: what are you're temps? Since Lastviking here uses the same cooler and is a bit disappointed by the temps he's getting (read on Swedish forum) it could be interesting to know. Do you have an established 24/7 clock yet? Lastviking is doing 3,6GHz with 70°C at load...

[Smartidiot89]

Will have my new DFI DK790FXB M2SRH by tomorrow, and hopefully my new RAM (2x1GB CellShock PC8000 CL4, 2.1v - 2.3v D9GKX) will be here tuesday or friday... Throwing my current motherboard infront of a train :P

[Ming@s]

Batch 0850DPMW

Scythe Ninja

Crucial Ballistix 8500 2x1GB

DFI LANPARTY DK 790FXB-M2RSH





First tests.

No! I did not steal it! It's mee on my ex-TLS.

And yes Marten.. I was grumpy and your reading skillz superior to mine.

[highoctane]

Crapshoot it is. Still, it sucks. Although when I turned my HSF around and got 3.6GHz stable a while back, I was also able to reduce VCORE. So 1.48v is it. I'm on par with highoctane now I think. So I guess I can't claim worst 940.

Hey whats the saying, misery loves company!!

Actually with your vdrop you got me beat by a hair, I vdrop to 1.46!!!

EDIT: Actually according to cpuz I'm at 1.456 under load, maybe a tie!!

Massman got a NH-U12P i got NH-C12P thats a very big diffrent.... not the price but the rest i think :/

[Ben_Brown]

That is a pretty big difference between massman and Ming@s in their 32m runs. I would not think that it would be that big with the NB only being 400MHz faster. I really didn't imagine the HT Link making any difference in Pi, however after looking at it again it may just be that since the ram speed of Ming@s is almost half of massman so that could be a big part. Roughly 2.5 minutes is pretty big though for roughly the same cpu clocks though.

[KELL5]

The mem speed is killing the time. Poor cpu.

First tests.

I know. This was my first test so. Easy Boy.

[Titan7171]

Heres a goal you guys may want to try to attain

heh you should practice what you preach, You know what i'm talking about If not let me remind you.

Ahahhhh I remember I will try it. Thank you.

[wilso]

Also; haven't seen any chips later than 0850 right?

I've got an 0851APDW (I'm in Australia). Its going to be hooked upto my R404a modded Mach II, really pumped to see how high she goes. I'm just waiting on my custom CPU mounting bracket to be laser cut from the metal shop. Will be quite the upgrade from my X2 4200+

Cheers!

[Cheffy]

i got a CACVC AC 0850DPBW batch 80038 <anyone want to place bets?

no results to report yet: its tough picking up this phenom stuff! (used X2 6400 before now) and the cards are stacked against me - buggy beta bios (voltages, multi's, timings), limited headroom on ocp, SB600, no nbfid, nb voltage locked at 1.525v in bios O.o? - (only got nbvid + 0.x0 options also)..
will report back: atm, 3200mhz/stock volts 2300mhz nb / 1.3v (as low as k10stat takes it before hanging) ram at ~1020 4-5-5-15, fsb@ 256

[Mara]

yea i saw that didn't they say earlier that it would drop to 225? anyway its a nice drop just after the chip was released and maybe we will see more when am3 comes out but im not counting on it anymore. also i thought this phenom II 940 review was funny: another person saying their tech level is high.

Heh! New xtremesystems member here. Took only 2.5 weeks to get access to this forum...

It was me who did you quote on the Newegg Phenom 940 review. That PC and CPU I no longer have. (It was a build I custom made to a friend.)

After that I build a new PC for myself using PII 940 (0850DPMW) and Gigabyte mobo and got 3.5GHz overclock at stock voltage. 3.6 is stable with 1.40V. Also the Kingston HyperX PC8500 RAM I can run at 1066 speed, while with the earlier build it was not stable, no matter what timings, DIMM voltages or CPU NB voltages I tried. What do you think, was the earlier MoBo bad? (It was ASUS M3A78-T. Afterwards I did read that this particular type has terrible Vcore droop... that certainly is not helping when overclocking.)

TIP: I had slight memory stability issues with this build too, but once I increased the CPU-NB voltage by 0.1 those are solved. NB is currently clocked at 2.4GHz.

I told to my friend about my success with my build and we agreed to RMA his CPU. It was just sent out today.. so it will take a while to get the replacement. Hopefully the new one is better... at least the memory should be stable at PC8500 speed.

At the moment I'm very happy with my new PC. It is now idling at 3.5GHz and consumes 95W from the wall... I don't have yet a videocard, so I use the built in video. At full CPU load (Prime, OCCT,...) the wattmeter show 195W peak. If I downclock the CPU to 800MHz and put Vcore to 0.8V the wattmeter show 70W. So at best the Cool'n'quiet can save ~20W in power at idle... which is neglible to be bothered with, in my opinion. (Especially when it makes overclocking impossible, unless just by increasing HTT clock.)

well, here is my 3.8ghz PI 32M run in Windows 7 32bit

Hows windows 7 running this cpu, any difference in overclocks?

I have had no issues getting OC's in this OS. Both 32 and 64 seem the same. I can boot right into both 32 and 64 @ 4ghz 1.45v. it is not OCCT or Prime Stable at the voltage, but I can run IE and games with no problems.

would be really nice if 64 bit and 32 bit would oc to the same speeds. so you wouldn't have the frequency loss when moving to 64 bit.

[Smartidiot89]

Cant remember the exact steppings but it's: 0841GPMW
And the last batchnumber: 80006

Thanks to my motherboard who won't clock and a NB multi which I can't lower I am getting rid of it. Getting a DFI DK790FXB M2SRH today

Roughly 2.5 minutes is pretty big though for roughly the same cpu clocks though.

It's NB and MEM, not the HT link.

Don't look at my time, though, this score was run on a véry dirty 24/7 OS (including the countless running services).

And the last batchnumber: 80006

Looks promising!
