AMD "Thuban" Core (Phenom II X6) XS Overclocking Charts

Here's a Screenshot

That NB clock is pathetic! Having a high NB is just as important as the CPU clock itself!

true but 2:1 NB to ram ratio is about where it normally stops scaling performance.

Well, i haven't gone there yet just doing some experiments that's all. Also, this is my first attempt at OC anything.

Disregard the naysayer, you are doing well. Gains over 2600 NB at DDR2-like speeds (1200) are almost worthless anyway.

That's what i noticed. I ran some benchmarks with NB@2990 Rams@ 1227, i didn't not notice any difference, maybe there was some Miniscule increase that i didn't notice.

Anyway I'm getting some Mushkin Red @ 2133Mhz soon that should be fun. More OC to come.

Much better You are getting the hang of this rather quickly.

[TheBreezyBB]

Thanks I'm working on less V stable 4GHz. I'm also getting some new rams Musking Redline @2133Mhz very soon. that should give me more things to play with!

[TheBreezyBB]

I got better V now 1.376V Idle & 1.402@ 100% load

Tested for 10+ hours and not a single error.

[Hell Hound]

Try to run 1000% memtest w/98%mem usage to see if nb is stable,I know you only have 2 sticks but 1.4 sounds low even w/ high nb volts you need decent cpu volts.

Why (the heck) would he need to test a 2600 Mhz NB clock? Thats like given stable at 1.2v on a lot of chips.

If he got through 10 hours of blend, the CPUNB is fine.

[TheBreezyBB]

Whenever my NB was unstable my systme would freeze and there's no BSOD or nothing at all. and that only happens when i try Prime95 for less than an hour.

[Hell Hound]

I would not sale/use a overclocked system unless every thing has been tested for 24/7 stability.Some software could stress it and bam reset or freeze.Why because nothing is guaranteed.

[TheBreezyBB]

So, a full week of testing for stability?

Best response ever XD

Again, I dont know how many times to say this, if P95 Blend passes more than 6 hours, the IMC/memory subsystem are stable.

[Shadowized]

if P95 Blend passes more than 6 hours, the IMC/memory subsystem are stable.

that's both true and false at the same time. depends greatly on the motherboard, LLC makes stability testing a nightmare as I've find myself having to overshooting where I need be at by around 5-10% just to keep idle LLC above the stability line.

you can pass prime95 blend for hours, days, even WEEKS but the minute you stop testing and LLC goes from load to idle, a bsod or freeze can occur to make matters worst there aren't many tools around to testing the idle state of LLC

So why overclock at all then?

You're talking about testing an overclock for 24Hrs with EVERY available bit of stress testing software there is, Which would take WEEKS!

And how would you know if you've failed because of voltage or heat?

I personally run an hour of P95 with custom settings then 50 runs of Intel Burn Test and if it passes then it's stable.

Some people need to stop with all this 24Hr stress testing bulls**t and actually learn to enjoy using there machine what it was built for and not wait around for days testing it for instability issues that they'll other wise never see using it normally.

Most use their systems for 2-3 yrs so a week of testing is moot.
A crash is not tolerable gaming or working.
Ever heard of quality,well it don't come from nowhere.
Someone it testing to make sure it works @ advertised spec.

A system that can pass a couple hours of prime on blend or Intel burn test won't crash on a game or while working.

U said most, Well, i guess i don't fit in this Equation! I tend to change systems every 6-12 months. But, that doesn't matter really cause in all my life owning PCs i never reached a 100% CPU load or 100% memory load!!
So i guess your point is moot.

Is there a way to download the stable chart in a spreadsheet or at least CSV or something that is more readable? That PNG is very hard to read.

[Hell Hound]

Can you guarantee that your clients will never reach 100% load.

[TheBreezyBB]

Can you guarantee that your Electronic equipment will work as they are meant to?

It looks like they added a maximum posted image width when they upgraded the forum software. Copy the URL of one of the images and open that in a new tab by itself. You'll find a very easy to read chart, and that's exactly what it looked like prior to the upgrade.

I do a stability test @ stock,if anything fails it gets RMA'D.
Make sure it works before you break it.
