The Phenom II List of Overclocks

yah 5-6-6-18 @ 1066

[cdawall]

toss them in the freezer

[chew*]

not D9's, they were just some cherry gold's that could do 5-5-5-15 until saturday....figured I'd let them go out with a bang.

[cdawall]

put them in the freezer anyway it fixed my promos

[chew*]

nah screw it I'm having fun till they die completely 1265 now mwahaha

[cdawall]

just dont kill the phenom like i did lol phenom2+3.5v=dead phenom

nah screw it I'm having fun till they die completely 1265 now mwahaha

damn that's awesome

damn that's awesome

You can thank massman, I've been really lazy on my memory tweaking skills and PI runs as of late, time to shake off the dust, will post up some scores once I find max....

[richierich]

How many volts you running at that RAM speed?

[chew*]

just bumped it to 2.25, had 4 errors in memtest at 2.2v

[chew*]

I lied massman, I could squeeze more out of them, massman let me know what the efficiency comes out to, thx, can we figure in the cost of the ram

[Rammsteiner]

until then..

ya get an RMA on the FXB. we hope you get sent a good one, so you can enjoy your 940 instead of having to mess with it so much (like we were both doing on p1).

aside from that, how's the water treating you? getting accustomed to it?

This UT 790FX is the last DFI board Ill be using with the PhII.

I ain't going to bother with them anymore. Once they were the overclocking name, nowadays about any board can OC.

The water is epic Quad rad and all, 36C at 3.7Ghz/1.55V and 2Ghz NB/1.25V Think I could have done better with installing but it works, pretty good as well.

I think I have the lead on air now.
4408.38MHz(only 0.16MHz ahead of Lightman); 1.536V, and the "golden" IFX-14 with two akasa fans@2300RPM.

WTF dude, nice work!

Do you have the IFX-10 installed as well? That thing killed my board, I took it from 15~20C to ~5C but those little heat pads on the back of the motherboard somehow started to lose some sort of oil

Quite pissed about that, but the IFX-14 back plate is usefull for my EK Supreme block

Thanks for the congrats. Same sh*t with IFX-10 on my board. It was installed 15 minutes or something like that and after minor mod on my original backplate that comes with the mobo I threw away the IFX-10 away. I'm pretty sure that IFX-10 was designed for intel mobos and was not fully tested on amd. A lot of friends was trying to convince me that I'll have no problems with the stock mounting kit of the IFX, but I preferred to bet on safety.

Well I figure it's time to get my rig up on the list eventhough I am not yet happy with the OC - I think I can do better !

Try overclocking by bus, not by multiplier. You may achieve better results. Also try with 1.46V+, 1.44 can be not enough for this cpu and 3.8GHz.

[Rammsteiner]

Ugh, my board/CPU is epic weird

Im almost convinced it doesnt like Vdimm, whether it's the CPU or the board, I dont know.

However, running 2.2Ghz NB and 3.7Ghz CPU stable now. PWM's are squeaking as usual Funny thing is it looks like temps dropped slightly with higher NB clocks/Volts

[Russ_64]

@Ramm - did you increase the CPU-NB voltages (from 1E default) ?

[Rammsteiner]

@Ramm - did you increase the CPU-NB voltages (from 1E default) ?

Yeah, think it's at 1.275Vnb, but might be even too much. Didnt run with 1.25Vnb and was in a hurry.

[Rammsteiner]

Stable 4h, quit it.

Doing now 3.8Ghz attempt again, I set Vcore up two notches (1.5625, although OCCT reads 1.55 still).

My PSU seems to have a slight ripple on 3.3V, it jumps up and down between 3.28 and 3.3V, OCCT says a 0.49% ripple. Ive seen PSU's suuplying worse than 3.28V, without ripple. Guess it ain't much of a problem

EDIT Oh lol, 3.8Ghz wasnt stable, G15/G5 lost power and screen went black. Checking whether this is due to a multiplier limitation from the MB or just a wall for this Voltage in general. Instead of 19*200 Im doing 18.5x206. It's kind of weird to test with a possible broken motherboard but well

actually I have the lead on air and with a scythe ninja knock off, Now i have a TRUE

[Russ_64]

@Ramm - nice try. Have you tried a newer Beta BIOS ?

[Stuen4y]

actually I have the lead on air and with a scythe ninja knock off, Now i have a TRUE

And the results are? I haven't seen them, so I have to in order to know what to chase. I see only your result on dice.

Should be able to crack it i was on a cheap cooler when I did it.
