The Official X2 Overclocking Discussion Thread

That's nut's . Nice to see cinebench at work.

The best I have got is 903 with that test. That was 2900 mhz and using the 64bit version. about 24 secs.

2850 mhz with the win xp version gave me 777. About 28 secs.

Your render is 25 secs, and is that with the standard xp cinebench. What speed was your chip at?

So I am looking to upgrade to an X2.

Currently got a 3000+ Venice @ 2.72 on DFI SLI-DR under TT Big Typhoon.

Using the current cooling, what stepping would you recommend (assuming an N for air overclocking?)?

From what I have read I am likely looking for an early 06 (0601 0602 0605 etc) -N 3800 X2 right?

[RommelD]

Does anybody know if the 3800+ CBBLE 0513CPDW overclocks very good? I now have a 3800+ that does 2700 mhz @ 1.67 under WC so I am looking for a better one.

Penny for your thoughts

Yes I did mean the "micro" version ty lawrywild ,
but I hear they r not that good , probably best for the price is
thermaltake big typhoon ..!

I am curious about a few things in my bios
hammer Fid control and hammer Vid control ? wot r these about ?

A few pics should be attached , got clock to 2530Mhz using 11x230htt
at almost stock volts 1.312 , the highest cpu temp is 59*C
cpu id is
ADA4200AA58V
LDBHE
D601SPMW

and the stepping (?) is BH-E4

I have noticed a couple of x2 3800 s' have this same id ?
I'll need a better powersupply (getting this soon) and hopefully better
cooling (don't know when) Tt big typhoon etc...
then maybe can do better O'clocks , ambient temps r high in zimbabwe
africa , around 25-35*C

FID is the multiplier, yours is stock 11 (i.e. 11x200 = 2200mhz)
VID is the vcore, yours is stock 1.35v but I wouldn't recommend you up that until your get better cooling because 59'C is extremely hot already.

ty dude :-) ,

well the 59'C was during a cpu intensive test sp2004 (on both cores)
just finished playing a whole lot of games(5hrs) the last being BF2
and temp only 41'C . (which is standard)
btw my stock vcore is only 1.31

This is temporary ,need to tune my vapor/phase cooling better

But for now i am running it om 3.1ghz daily

3,1ghz as you can see in the capture

I tried too the 64bit version


I used Windows 2003 server 64bit.

Currently available in Australia we have:

LDBHE 0603
LDBHE 0609
LDBFE 0610

Waiting to get a few more before I dive in though. :/

EDIT: How can you tell the difference between E4 and E6 by the stepping information?

[seanx]

I see all this talk of "vapour chill" cpu cooler , could some1 explain this ?
I heard a rumor that it is pipe-based with a low boiling-point liquid inside...
is this correct?

[stone_cold_Jimi]

Hi and welcome seanx,

Yes, this is phase-change cooling, just like proper aircon. Asetek are currently the only manufacturers of phase cooling kit for PCs afaik, their site is:

Enjoy.
