First clock for my new system

[ionicle]

Right, i gave overclocking a little try and got my x2 3800+ to:

2500mhz on stock volts at 24*c. its on a 10x multi @ 250

memory is on a 3:2 divider as its old pc2700 generic rubbish. All other setting are automatic i think. System temp is 27*c also. At load it can get to around 40*c max

Screenies

couldnt be bothered trying anymore at the moment.

Nice mate thats some decent clocks there. good work

 

[PV5150]

Nice result mate, these are a great little unit for getting healthy overclocks from. You gotta be happy with that?

 

[ionicle]

Gave it another go and went up to 2700mhz (stopped there so i could par with ionicle ) at vcore 1.425 but it crashed on loop 10 superpi on each core, so i called it a day

 

[llwyd]

did the same the other day (got the same CPU)

 

[FarFarAway]

I think you can afford to put in a few more volts than 1.425 pretty safely mate

Ya, with at least single cores at least, you're pretty much allowed around .2 volts higher than stock with decent air cooling (maybe .1-.15 on the weak stock cooling), even more with solid w/c. Not too sure how dual cores are, but a little more volts should be perfectly fine.

PI stable is not 24/7 stable. Try Priming for 20+ hours or OCCT or S&M .

Gratz those are some decent clocks!

 

[ionicle]

I have an evo33 with fan on low and one 120mm fan (ive reduced it to this for the sake of my sanity) Get around 27*c idle @ 2500mhz and stock voltage. What do ya reckon i should increase my voltage too? UNless i get a fan controller, which isnt likely as i only have molez fans, the cooling will be staying this way.

And in Prime, what torturetest should i use out of the 3? i never know which one.

 

[WC Annihilus]

I assume stock vcore is 1.4v? Then you should probably be perfectly fine with 1.475-1.5 vcore or even 1.525 depending on temperatures at that vcore. If 1.35 is stock, 1.45-1.475 should be fine.

 

[ionicle]

Yep, i think its 1.35-1.37v

 

[ionicle]

went to 2800 @ 1.5 vcore, but wasnt stable, so 2700 @ 1.475vcore is stable enough for now (and only 26*c idle)and yes, i did check that, the heatsink feels around that temp.
