MrStrawberry AMD Overclocking Log

just to keep you guys updated on my progress.

i have an unreal amount of college work to do that is due in on thursday which i am very sorry but it HAS to come first as it is just to important to just let the this stuff come first.

as it is i will be free this weekend with a unhealthy amount of monster sat in my room so i will get try and get everything sorted then aswell as the following week i have off college so it should be done by wednesday next week. if that is not good enough then the kit will be going back to TTL for him to do. As i really dont want to be the reason that we all fail this test.

best i can do guys

Ste don't worry man, some shit has to take priority and your future is one of those things imo mate. Also afaik there wasn't a set deadline on this, just that testing and running all the tests was a time consuming process.

Thanks dude your understanding of it really does mean a lot to me atm

i did have it all under control until my pendrive decided to self combust on monday morning which lost well over 10K worth of words from various units resulting me having to do 5 assignments at distinction level that took a couple of months again in a couple of days :/

so yeah some might say the shit has hit the fan

Ouch, you get at that college work Strawbs, good luck!

Because I'm paranoid after close calls with read/format errors, I keep work on two thumb drives and back them up on two different computers.

it was my back up that i lost the only problem is i had done a lot more work at home then i had thought i did so when i lost it all it made a massive impact :/

Strawbs college work is omportant and I am sure Tom will be ok with it

You have managed to get a lot more tests done than me so far

Monster or not ( i presume its that expensive energy drink )

 

[stevenwright6379]

thanks dude

yeah the really awesome energy drink that i got 2 for £1 and it just went crazy from there

the good news is i have got most of the college work done just a little bit left that wont take that long so tomorrow afternoon the overclocking continues and i am going to try and get a higher CPU-Z validation first

aimming for 4.8GHz so i will have to wait and see how that goes

Might be possible, but I wouldn't hold out for it. Marsey managed 4.7 on the 970....just.

worth a try though

aslong as i beat my current one then it is classed as a victory

funny you should say that as I refuse to be beaten by you

 

[stevenwright6379]

atm i am trying to get a higher clock as tom says i can get more out of this chip BUT

i cant seem to boot at 4.6GHz using x23 on the multi

vcore is at 1.607v

it gets to the loading screen for windows and then just crashes.

any ideas?

I came across this thread on a site. It's for slightly older models but could give you some ideas/things to try. Hope it helps?!?!
