Maximum PC

I don't miss the old ways of overclocking at all, but I do like the bios overclockinh tools more than the remote, auto, and application based overclocking tools.

Welcome back, old man.

Gonna stick around for a while?

As I stated in a recent post, I'm running my E8400 At 4.16GHz. Not too shabby. But RAM is getting in the way sometimes, and I'm at the minimum 1:1 ratio between RAM and FSB, so about 920MHz on the RAM.

With 2 sticks of RAM, I was able to hit about the 4.3ish mark, but i don't like hitting 75-76C in Prime95. 'Twas nice testing the RAM at 1200MHz, tho. not the mostt stable, but that stuff was plowing through benchmarks. Settled at 1128MHz. Then got 2 more sticks. Each set separately runs at that, but together, I'm hard pressed to hit 920-940 any more.

Time to update my OC info, since my Foxconn Destroyer got here:


And the temps while Prime95 ran in the background (I have gotten them under 60c since then):


AND, my Non-Extreme Edition Pentium 4 is now running at 3.92ghz (up from 3.2ghz stock):

CPU-Z Valid
I have the temps under 50c all the time (Idle or Load, both stay under 50c,
and often under 40c) using only a high-flow case and a Zalman CNPS 7700CU.


Working on the RAM, but will get some high-performance DANK for it soon.

Not a bad first crack, with a Hyper 212+ on it, runs about 85 degrees C according to SpeedFan under full load.....

Edit, with a H70 sitting on top of the i7, 80 degrees at 4Ghz....quite nice

Now that my Phenom II x4 965 Black Edition
has arrived, the OC has been applied:

VALID



Idle TMP: 40°c (Usage at 2% or Lower)
Load TMP: 58°c (Prime95 / F@H)
Ambient TMP: 42°c (7 Case Fans)
Cooling: CM Hyper212+ (Single Fan, Pushing)

Just got my hyper 212+ on and have done a modest overclock on a 2500K running on a P8P67 Deluxe hit 4.8GHz from 3.3GHz not bad on air so far temps hitting 81C but I will continue to break it in. http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1729643

My first real attempt at overclocking my 2600K: 4.6 GHz.

Nicely done, n0b0dy.

Well, after I got home from work this afternoon I found my system blue screened.

I tried upping the voltage a little but continual blue screens.

Had to put it back down to 4.5 GHz.



n0b0dykn0ws

2500K & 212+ : 4.5ghz (x45, 100blk) 57C max
4.7ghz (x45, 105blk) 66C max

Phenom II 555 BE 3.2 GHz @ 4.2 GHz on air...haven't run Prime95 or anything on it yet though.

Edit: N/M, had to bump the multiplier back down a notch, it just blue-screened.

4.7 GHz stable.



n0b0dykn0ws

CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE C3
Base Freq: 3400mhz
Overclocked: 4500mhz
Cooling: Hyper212 w/ 2x Scythe Ultra Kaze Push/Pull.
Idle Temp: 33c
Load Temp: 55c

Prime95/F@H Stable.

CPU-Z Dump

Jake, what's the PPD on that?

I have an AM2+ board that can handle the high watt quad core AM3s, and I might give it one last boost.

n0b0dykn0ws

EDIT: upped from 4.65 to 4.7

Sorry it took me FOREVER to get back in here and post, but I have been busy as hell of late.

The PPD is 9,500+ PPD @ 4ghz (4.5ghz on air in southern NM is not advisable and I had to back
off, even with an H70. I will need a full-on loop). But I am about to up the ante because I got
the chip stable at 4.2ghz on air. It is cooking in Prime95 now... 1.5 hours stable. I have heard
that even at just 4ghz, if you run the SMP in a virtual machine, you can push PPD to about 10~12k
PPD! I will try it out and see. Plus, HFM can still track the PPD and TPF for you and spit out the
results into an HTML page which I have synched to my dropbox as a public document like this.

And that's awesome.

At any rate, here is my new Validation for SMP-Stable 4.2ghz:

Here we go. Stable on air, but too damn hot to fold on 24/7, but who cares, this is bragging rights, isn't it?.

here's mine..it aint on air,but ohwell.
