The Phenom II List of Overclocks

[Rammsteiner]

@ Bert, I dont know. If there's another program to log Voltages I'd certainly try that to see if they match. But better do it ASAP because 1.9V spikes on a 45nm CPU... This might not have a direct effect but it might most likely have a huge impact on its lifetime.

Little update from my side, I tried running 3.7Ghz with same settings but BSOD, then I tried 3.8Ghz with +0.1V and it BSOD'd as well.

Since it's like bed time now I did a quick run on my previous 3.6Ghz stable OC but this time with HTT @ 300Mhz. I was seriously surprised to see it booting without any up and it completely Intelburntest 5 runs without issues as well.

Im seriously in love now I think my 24/7 goal will be 12.5x300 (3.75Ghz), 2.4Ghz NB and DDR1200. I hope I can make it happen but now I noticed the long forgotten freedom of HTT and multi's I can always find a way around it if it doesnt work as planned But thus far Im more than happy

PS, does a high HTT put a huge strain on any parts btw? Im still scared less that something might blow up Guess in the end it wont have much of an effect on the MOSFETs, does it have on the NB or the SB?

High htt doesn't strain on anything to my knowledge. I prefer to do most of my clocking with htt so I don't do huge increments.

Side note for my current testing, 4080 cpu and 3060 nb. I almost have all my memory speeds over 10k mb/s according to everest and my memory is only at 1020mhz. I think it got all my L3 speeds above 10k mb/s though, latency was only at 4.9 since the core isn't as fast as when I tested before. Temp sensor also isn't frozen anymore thankfully, just a reboot and it was fine.

So none of you are able to pull off a 4.8g with phase? What are your temps at on phase?

The one at the boston event was pulling 4.8 easily with only 1.45 volts. IIRC the mach 2 reading was -50 on the display as soon as volts increased and temps dropped a little it would crash, etc etc it wasn't scaling with voltage it scaled better with just lower temps......

How bout with just upping multi's?

I was at least expecting some retails to do 4.3 to 4.6 taking into account that they may have had a decent chip....

My evap head sits at -36C at load during blend. CPU load temp is below 0C, I just don't get any readings below 0 for it. Socket has gone to 9C max at load with 1.5875v vcore and 1.5v set for the nb. I think 1.45v got me to 3.8ghz, 1ghz less than they got. Do you know how low they set everything else when they hit 4.8ghz? I have my ht link set to 7x because its not really necessary. Maybe its also that almost everyone here uses 790FX boards and 790GX might actually be better for it to clock well. I expected a batch of 154 to be decent at least, but thats life.

Edit: Just booted at 3.25ghz NB!!!

Old it was mutiplier only and in AOD, there is another possibility, you happen to have a copy of ETQW? it was able to run that no prime though as it wasnt installed.

As far as batch i'm guessing aquneas chip is a week 50 It appears the average i'm seein in this thread is 3.7 so its possible it will do a little better than average ( as always it also depends on whos ocing the chip ), I was kinda hoping the first batch would come out with a bang.That would mean average speeds in later batches being even better.

[Oldguy932]

I wouldn't even be just windows stable at 1.45v for 4.8ghz. 3.25ghz on the nb won't get blend stable for all 4 cores, a random core always fails with it sadly. At least it runs benchmarks pretty well.

yea i read chew*'s thread about the batch numbers. knopflerbruce was correct when he said the L represents the 12th month, the 8 represents 2008 and the last 4 are a wafer id. im just confused as to why they would have 2 different numbers/letters on there telling what the month and years are.

The bottom line is like a serial # for rma purposes I believe. If you look at lets say a TV for instance it will say manufactured june 08 and then it will have a serial # also including the manufacturing date in the form of a code.

Thats why posting a chip with just the bottom line blotched out is cool.

nice...run RAR on that thing..

Hey Old guy can you do me a favor, I was sleeping and woke out of a dead sleep to type this.......

Run a bench lets say cinebench at 3.0 gig. Drop the HT speed only, down to lets say 1.0 spec......Run it again. See how much it loses.

Then clock the cpu via multiplier only 100mhz and run it one more time.

I think you will find CLOCK Speed > HT Speed.

Once you do all that go after MAX clockspeed with HT under clocked and let me know what the max of your CPU is

Might even want to try underclocking your NB as the next step if the results pan out the way I think they will.....

Awesome clocks Charged! I'm just curious though, do you need 1.55v's to get those or did you just set it high to eliminate any problems?

I'm only asking because it seems like mine will run much higher clocks at lower v's until my w/c system starts building up heat. If I can keep load under 40c I get better speeds at lower volts.

It's still pretty early with PhII, but it seems to me like it would rather stay cool than have high v's (of course for hardcore OC you'd probably need both )...

I'm going to pick up a Scythe "Ultra Kaze 3000" this weekend and see if it will help keep the heat loading down...
