XMS San Diego Overclock Results

[JN]

Well, i'm sure u have all been waiting to see my results of running at 3ghz, so here you go.....

Its not totally stable, but thats only down to my ram not being up to taking DDR600 very well (currently running on 3.8v )

OMG dude, that is the shit! Congrats on owning Frag's OC! .

Taa....i'm lovin AMD at the mo.

I've beaten my previous PI score, and with only using Air cooling!!! The cpu is running at 28oc idle too...ROFL!!!

 

[Dav0s]

wow, amd certainly do won intel atm.

holey shit 27 secs / 3Ghz on air and @ 1.52 :worship: :worship::worship::worship::worship:

I just noticed the voltage shown on CPU-Z...its slightly out. BIOS setting and reading is 1.575v.

It originally needed 1.6v, but all of a sudden (maybe due to bios upgrade) was stable at 1.575v. Now all i need is that new RAM so i can run 1:1 24/7

Hit that SHIT Mr XMS!!!! :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship:

w00tage to you!!

Just get that prommy......

And some lush OCZ :worship:

Je impressed!!

may b cpu-z aint out could be ur psu

congrats man , yet again xms wil have the best super pi score <i cant wait till u get some phase change goodness in ther>

Doubt its the PSU, the voltages read perfectly in the bios, and are only slightly lower than what they should be due to a little vdroop.

Also, check out these temps....i cant believe i'm getting these on air....i couldnt even get this low on water with my prescott:

Another thing...Isnt the HT on A64's supposed to stay around the 1000 mark?

The HTT is supposed to be 1000 on 939 and 800 on 754.

I never use ntune...its annoying...but nice temps! Soooo...you don't regret the switch then Jim??

Not at all...and my HT is running at 1200...is that a bad thing, or is it the case of "the higher u can get without instability, the better"?

Hmm. I thought that running HTT at over 1000 led to problems that would seem to be like memory problems?

Hmm...interesting...maybe i should try my HT at 3x then. Is there much of a performance drop by lowering it?

That is a question that I do not know. But I assume that as long as you are close to it then you should be fine. We need |3ourne, Frag or someone else with loadsa AMD experience to get the right answer. I don't think that it makes a massive difference.....but as I said^

Your LDT Multi at 3 x would be around 900 right?

 

[JN]

Yeah it certainly would. Shame u can't do half LTD multi's

 

[FarFarAway]

Yeah it certainly would. Shame u can't do half LTD multi's

hmm...maybe but 1/2 FSH multi's don't work so well, so I doubt 1/2 LDT ones would either!!

It's beatable by Rev. 2 Plat.

Nice overclock there XMS! I hope to join u next week

Yeah fingers crossed the new PSU will fix ya probs

I'm gonna try and aim a little higer, but not before i've saved all my bios setting!!
