The Phenom II List of Overclocks

[Oldguy932]

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.

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...

I had to run the voltage to get it to run that speed. I can run 3.6ghz/2600NB stock v's, plus 3.8ghz 1.4v/2800NB 1.4v with no issues at all. Any thing higher needs the voltge. Just food for thought. I will aim for higher clocks today. I was ab;e to get my 3000mhz NB back up on the asus..which was where I started on my first attempt a whioe back but killed the board...I think I found it was ACC that did it.
