Athlon 64 3200+ Overclock Attempt

[General_Chris]

i thought i give my CPU another try to bump it up a few MHz running with a 295 HTT with a CPU Multiplier of x9 and 1.55v voltage below is a CPU-Z Screenie

iam very happy that i came so far with this an old CPU very statisfied with the results

EDITls move it to the overclocking section above xD i didnt looked where i putted it sorry xD

decent overclock, i know from experience the 3xxx series of athlon 64's wernt the most overclockable processors ever, most people struggled to get more than an extra 2-300 mhz out of them

i love em though as you might be able to tell from my sig

 

[General_Chris]

hihi yeah i see xD well we can say we are athlon 64 lovers

Not a bad overclock at all! I think the max I have ever seen from a 3200+ under watercooling was around 2.7Ghz. So your OC is very respectable.

 

[General_Chris]

yeah and guess what it is prime95 stable

 

[ionicle]

not bad at all, after a lot of failed attempts, i just didnt bother overclocking mine anymore, i think i have 3 duff for overclocking chips tbh, cant get much out of any of them really

think i've had 200 MHz out of the 4200+ but that was it

 

[nepas]

you are pretty much at the max for that chip tbh,nice job!!! my 3500+ will top out at 2.9 on air with some silly volts!!!!. I do have pics!!

@ionicle:you still have that 4200+?wanna sell it?

i'd only want to sell it if i could get my hands on a 4800+ as its the chip in my main system at the moment, and has been for 2 years

 

[nepas]

fair enough,I am looking for a replacement for my Opty 165 and they are a bit thin on the ground atm

 

[ionicle]

your telling me, i'm digging around to try and get a bit more power without leaving the 939 platform, they are few and far between though, my friends about to chuck his old pc out and its got a 3500, its dead from too much dust, i dont know the actual problem, but i'm trying to talk him into giving me it

 

[nepas]

I have a 3500+ sat here doing nothing,as I really want a D/C 939 for my backup/media pc,If I find a nice backup it yours mate(It will hit 2.9,with a bit of help)

 

[ionicle]

sounds good, thanks, i have an opty 146 sat somwhere in my pc room (tip) lost it yonks ago along with some other odds and ends, but that wouldnt go from 2.0 to anything more than 2.2

hense it being replaced with a 4200+

 

[General_Chris]

i gave it another try

EDIT u can also look here http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=907164

hitted 2.7 GHz on that

 

[ionicle]

nice, not bad at all, you have an exeptional chip there, is that under air or water?

 

[nepas]

Me like!

 

[General_Chris]

this is under air its running at 2700 mhz stable now

 

[General_Chris]

this chip is wow

 

[Rastalovich]

The dog doesn't seem too impressed, but getting 2.7ghz, stable, on the 939 is a great achievement.

General easy stable is around 2.4ghz iirc, 2.7 for reckless testing. They seem to cap around 2.75<2.9.

 

[jeff4952]

yeah no kidding. i had a 64x2. not the greatest overclocker ever. it was hard to get much more than 10% out of mine

 

[ivanho614]

Man I loved my 939 rig. But that overclock you got is insane, I use to have a 3000+ and it wouldn't OC for anything.
