Post your C3 Test Results! (new title)

[neo mike]

1.70V 1800 CL6, 1.75V up to 1872 CL6, but the interesting part is that I can't make them stable on blue slots, memory is not stable 1800 1.75V on blue ones, so I'm benching only on white ones, and from yesterday I have MSI 790FX-GD70 as second mobo for benchmarks but memory can't go higher than 1760 1.75V CL6 so I'm dissapointed right now with MSI...

cpu temp in bios was 4°C, last time 5°C so cpu freq is similar but nb freq is very grateful with ice...

I will show some 3D soon with my new XFX 5870 XXX Edition also...

Yeah im dissapointed with MSI GD70 memory clocking, i can get my cpu well over 4ghz, but memory cant get 1701 stable, infact i cant go over 1700 mgz just wont go, so kinds sucks.

I just ordered my parts FINALLY, so i will post results up soon, ordered an Asus Crosshair III, 2x2gb of Corsair Dominator GT 2000mhz Cas 8, a 965 x4 C3, and a 850 watt Seasonic PSU, the rest of the parts i am taking from my current rig and replacing them with other old parts i have, so i will have 2 systems up and running (well my opty 175 rig is more like half a system, having issues atm)

I'm so wishing I'd waited the 2 months to buy a C3... but again, my mobo could just hate me too.

I love your CPU-NB speed, how much volt for that?

NB 1.45V
And CPU NB VID +0,500V

C3 is realy good, now AMD give us C4.

[crazydiamond]

C3 is realy good, now AMD give us C4.

you mean x6

+05V? Wow, that means 1.15V+ 0,5V= 1.65V

That is some sick voltage but for sure a nice result.

[..::G80::..]

you mean x6

Yes, X6 with C4 rev.

+05V? Wow, that means 1.15V+ 0,5V= 1.65V

Sick or not, but it helps.

[Oliverda]

Yes, X6 with C4 rev.

Thuban won't be a rev. C processor. It will be rev. D (D2 maybe).

[moorhen2]

For validation only

I think the same

I've been testing my rig outside again tonight and got some pretty good results if i may say so myself.

Ambient temp was 1ºC, nice and chilly, just how i like it. (for benching)

Here's a quick Cinebench in XP 32 bit: (for Flank3r )



Some 3d mark 06 with just a single 4870 under water:



And finally the one i put most effort in and the one i'm really proud of:



Under 15 second, exactly what i was aiming for.

Nice Job Zeus, dont get cold enough here to put outside but very good job

[Cele303]

congratulations Zeus, great results! Did you see some performance improvement in tRP 5 in spi1M?

[FireDragon]

Very nice sp 1m time Zeus that is SWEET, does it get any colder there? or is that as cold as it will b all winter? i cant wait after i get my system made it is supposed to b around -15 to -20 F that weekend so as long as i have everything sorted and figured out by then i will try to do some outside air benching sessions

[Zeus]

Thanks guys.

I never ran Trp other than 5 so i don't know how much gain it gives in 1M but ram timings are not that imprortant for 1M, raw speed and high CPU-NB are the key. It was real nice to get 14 seconds after i saw you do it, so far i haven't seen anyone else do it on water or air.

It will get colder, somewhere around wednesday this week temps of -6ºC are forecast. If i feel like it i might give it another try.

Zeus kickin ass and takin names.........Gotta love the winter!

[Tomasis]

zeus, kickass!

I was trying 6-6-5-15 and no difference but I didn't change tRC, some say it helps... 6-6-5-15 11 1T, maybe we can hit 14.5s with water

I will steal your outdoor idea to see the difference My work office is warm, right know it's snowing outside

Makes a diff in 32m when i was testing. Probably not enough of a diff to impact 1m at those speeds but maybe when really cold

Thanks chew, your experience and advices are most welcome!

[FlanK3r]

how much i can go with TRC at DDR2? To time i have 24 (5-5-5-15-24 about 1100MHz)...

Hi everyone, i ordered "Phenom II C3 0942FPMW" and i have a question for this cpu. Whether there is a chance to make 4200Ghz full stable. I searched a little in the forum but i found a few results with 4100

On air? Not very likely I'm afraid. On good water it should be possible with a nice chip..

[Zeus]

Guys, all thanks for the kind words. All it took was some cold actually.

feniksgod, 0942 does not seem to be the best week from what i've seen. 4.2GHz is out of reach with normal cooling i think, unless you're very lucky and find a chip that likes some volts.

[Asmola]

Hey. I got 0942FPMW under testing today. After hours of testing it looks like max stable clocks for cores are 4080MHz and for IMC 2870MHz. Second core always fails if i raise IMC clocks, no matter what.
That's with Noctua D14 and 26c ambients. My other C3 (0933FPMW) overclocks about same from core's (~4,1GHz) but IMC is much better, with max stable IMC of ~2940MHz.
Havent tested any other C3's, but after hours of testing i must say 0933FPMW (From AMD) looks much better than 0942FPMW (Real retail).
