Ccb2e 0608 FX60 Overclocking Woes?
Ok, Ive been at this for 5hrs. I can't get this stable at 2.8Ghz. Dual SP2004 that is.
I tried just about everything I know of. I'm sure most of you either know more, or I'm missing something. I've tried anywhere from 1.3 -> 1.5v. I have an Xp-90c and a panaflow, temps below 50C. I know that sucks, but im sorry.
I have a Venus and I'm running mem stock for now 200 x 14.
At this point all I want is 2.8.

2.8 woulda been a lot easier with a 300$ 3800+ and a 500$ phase change unit.
Anyway.. you've tried everything? I don't want to state the obvious, but all the ram dividers, all the LDT multipliers, and of course try changing FSB instead of just raising the multiplier... try many HTT/multiplier combinations, try more volts again. Tell us how it scales, like what voltage do you need to do 2.75? And what kind of ram is it?

I have OCZ PC4000 2GB EB Platinum.
Would upping the FSB possibly help over raising the multi?
I'm currently running 2813Mhz 1.424v going on 10 minutes lol. Oddly enough, these tests usually fail around 12 minutes.

Temps are 50C??? OMG that IHS Contact must suck....Originally Posted by TransNone13

With a IHS that bad, that chip would prolly work well under phase.
Idk if its just that, this HS is getting waaarm.
How much voltage were you giving it when it was hitting 50C? and at what clock? Was it at 2.8?

Hits 50C with 1.42v+.
Oh my...That is very terrible...I would suggest maybe removing IHS if you don't care about the Warranty...of if it was OEM then it doesn't matter...but that seems very poor. That is the first 06 chip I have heard of with poor contact...

I reseated the thing atleast 5 times. Does this chip seem like a possible defunct chip? I've considered RMA. :-/
I'm trying 255 x 11 and I'm working my way back up on the volts from there.
In a closed case with those volts, 50c is about normal. The xp-90c is designed to have lots of air flow, and lots of fresh cool air flow. Leave your case open to see if it helps any.
Don't up the volts, they are fine. Up the multi on stock HTT and see how high it goes. Give the chipset about 1.57 volts, and loosen mem timmings. What is your RAM typ? Oh, and what your chipset and pwm temps.
You might want to run single channel just for now, just for kicks. You can add it back in latter.
Im taking you have a powerful PSU, if you aren't sure tell us what it is and your system config. Speaking of power, make sure you use all the possible power connections available on the board. It's easy to forget one.

You should be able to do this on stock volts. I could with my FX60, but I know all chips are different.
Start from stock volts and speed. Then go up a little in speed say to 202. Then another few MHz until you are failing Dual 32M SPi with stock volts. Keep this going until you start to fail and then just slightly bump volts like by like .1 to 1.36 and see if you fail if you do slightly bump volts again maybe by .05 this time. Make sure you keep your memory below it's rated 250 so that we can rule it out. After you get to 2800 dual spi 32m stable. Then try prime. Also are you running dual small fft's or what?
My FX60 responds well to very small bumps in volts and I would recommend you try to up the vcore as little as possible.
Alright guys. I've been slowly bumping vcore up .02v per failure in SP2004 dual instances (stress cpu small ffts). I'm at 1.392v now trying for 2805Mhz.
Also I have an 850SSI and when should I try playing with chipset voltage? I'd think that if stock FSB and 14 multi couldn't do it, why would the chipset help?
Btw, I really appreciate your guys' quick responses and helpful comment/nature. You guys are awesome.

It's set to 4.

Keep in mind, dual cores are much hotter than single cores. Add to that the fact that the XP90 isn't the best cooler around.
@ the OP
Have you tried another HTT/multiplier combination yet? It happens often (so i am told) that certain CPUs don't like certain multipliers... just try a different combination. Run a ram divider and try default 13x220.
And yeha like he says ^^ always use 3x LDT multiplier

Right now I'm giving 255 x 11 a shot. My HTT is 4.
About the XP-90C, any HS that are better are marginally by a tiny margin. I'm looking at going back to water son with an Apogee, D5, and dual BIPs or BIXs. But if I can't get 2.8 on air, it's probably not a good investment.
Please use a 3x multiplier, not 4x. Especially when going past 250 HTT. It's not like 3x is any slower, so just run 3x, always, that's what i do.

Ok, I'll definately try that out if 4x doesn't fly.
I know that when I was playing with my FX60 on air and I was trying to get the max speed bootable into windows playing with the chipset volts did help, but again that was when I was going for the max speed. I heard some very experienced guys on here say to leave chipset volts alone and now I do most of the time, but you can bump it by I think about .1 and still be fine. FX60's are hot chips and on air they can be a real painl, unless you've got a small turbine blowing on it.
Just be patient and work your way up. That's what I'm doing as we speak with mine on water and this time around I'm running a lot less volts with a lot more speed than the first time I had it in my water rig.
Also you got an N or T wafer?
Just set LDT multi to auto and let your Venus take care of it for now. Find your stability and then try to OC that.
Ok well, I screwed my windows clock up and windows wants me to activate. I don't want to since I'm going to reinstall once I get stable. So I'm going to reinstall XP, then go to bed. I have an exam tomorrow.
