AMD 1040T Overclock Help

[mmomakers]

Am New here
But yes I need help to overclock this CPU .
Had this over a year now, am fairly new to overclocking as well!

Heres what I got it up to at the moment.

252 * 13.5 = 3.4ghz At Auto Voltage max 1.3
HT 2000Mhz
NB 2260 Mhz

Max temp 34

Am trying to get it higher if possible. At the moment I have left it on auto voltage as i can't seem to edit the voltage but also am new to voltage now.

Overview of my overclock here

Any suggestion ?
Am trying to aim to get around 4Ghz

Also My PC Spec in detail

CPU : AMD Phenom II X6 1045T
Ram: 2GB * 2 Corsair 1333Mhz = 4GB
GPU: Crossfire 6850 1GB * 2 = 2GB
MB: MSI 870A-G46
CPU FAN: Noctua NH-14

-------------------------------------
Other notes. Someone told me this mobo isnt good as the VRM fails a lot?
He told me to get another mobo ASUS M5 a97 PRO, however this mobo is no longer in stock anywhere for the price its worth.

You need to keep an eye on your ram timings because everytime you increase the bus the ram timings will change......

You cant have auto volts with a 1.3 max set. You need to set it yourself manually, 1.4 is pretty low tbh. You can deffo do more.

So advise is watch your ram speed) but 1333 is a bit pants tbh, and MORE volts.

I can't seem to manually set the voltage, its locked , Can't seem to find a way to edit the voltage.

Also Would it be advisable to upgrade my ram to 8GB at 1600 or 1866 ?

Speed wise it depends what memory divider you use dude.

If you cant manually set the voltage then its a bit of a pants board

So the board is crap ? ='/

G46 shouldn't have a problem with overclocking settings, are you sure you arent using UEFI or something?

in terms of volts, I ussualy test my amd chip at 1.475 or 1.5v to make sure that im not capping it in terms of power delivery.

also 2.7 to 4ghz is quite a jump for amd chip(late gen aswell), something like 2500k would easily acomplish that but intel and amd chips are diffrent in many ways.

only t1090 and t1100 were unlocked multipliers i think, so it really upto your chip to determine how far you can push it, start at 5mhz increments.

corsair 1333's 2x2 should be fine for this oc to pass stability but i recomend you turn the clocks down a notch or two and if not already bump the volts on them to 1.5/1.65v

I don't know if am using UEFI , Am not using any software , using bios soo mehh.

I have a 1090T but one of the pin is broken trying to get it fixed.
The Voltage is the problem at the moment as I seem to can't change it in the bios for some stupid reason (locked)

 

[Pr3d4t0r]

EUFI is a bios just fancy with 16bits(or 32?) graphics and mouse support. my asus board has two "modes" EUFI and Advanced.

if you are set to auto you wont be able to change, also it looks like this chip has a "turbo" mode at which 3 of the cores and oc'd also changing the volts, so disable that if you can as it could be blocking the v.

You will not hit 4GHz stable with a 1040T, good board or not. I've tried with multiple 1040T's (two friends builds) and my old 1055T, doesn't happen unless you win the golden silicon lottery. Even 1075T's and 1090T's have trouble.

well thats what i was hinting at before; 4ghz with any amd chip is a major accomplishment, highest i've ran my x4 B50(unlocked x2 550) is 3.8ghz but that certainly is not a 24/7 oc.

so right now im only running 3.6 @1.404 quad core which at the time only costed me £90, so from dual 3.1 that's almost 8ghz more :3

volts play a major part in oc, if you arent able to change them then you shouldnt consider oc at all.

 

[Techie103]

Typically you can OC about 200-300mhz on stock volts but no more. The highest I got my X6 1055T was 3.8GHz. I made a tutorial and its gotten 21.5K views on youtube :3

Right so i figured out how tot change the voltage.

So I got it up to 3.6ghz.
I tested it with the IntelBurntest , But then on 2nd test , i smelt something burning OMG!!!!
I quickly turned of my pc ...........................................................

So now i clocked it only to 3.5 without changing volts leaving it on auto -.-

Any help here ?
Or any premade settings around on 3.6Ghz ( Apparently this is where i can see a difference in speed)

 

[Pr3d4t0r]

you wont see difference anyhow, only benchmarks will confirm increase in performance(if any, sometimes its marginal)

and for stability testing run prime for 24hrs or occt for at least 12, not intel burn in thats used to quickly set the new paste in place.

Is there is a performance boost. I set the clock to 3.3 now as it just fits perfectly with the 1333mhz ram. My pc seems faster then it being on stock. =/

Also a good note, Playing League of Legends without the Overclock gives me under 100 FPS with the overclock 200 + FPS.
