Post Your Overclock!

Just had a quick go at pushing the cpu a little , just for benchmarks.

No way a 24/7.

Seems like I have a chip that can run some pretty high clocks , needs a little tweeking to get more stable , ran my benchmarks fine but failed after 10 mins of prime95.

Back down again now.

All good fun

Thanks Dave,

After a fair bit of tweaking this evening I have managed to get it stable.

Obviously this is for my particular cpu and will vary.

Also I should add once again this is for benchmarking only and I will not be running it 24/7 ever due to the voltage required.

Settings are -

Vcore - 1.460
LLC - Ultra high
VRM fixed freq mode - 350
Phase control - Extreme
Duty cycle - Extreme

With these settings on a 30 min run on prime95 it hit a max temp of 82 degrees with my frio cooler.

Its high , but in reality how often is a cpu running 100% load for 30mins?

Anyway like I said before it was just for a bit of fun and to see how far the cpu would go.

Thats me done with that as I don't fancy a fried miniature beer mat.

This is the daily overclock Dave , temps are very nice on full load mainly due to it requiring a lot less voltage at this speed.

Idle and Load pics below. Load pic is with prime95 running after 10 mins.

Must admit that was bugging me Dave.

After a little research and a bit more tweaking I now have the following settings for voltage -

CPU Voltage mode - Offset + 0.005

As you can see by the shots, all is now perfect

Cheers

Paul.

MY first overclock, it may not be much but its still something. :P



Went form 3.1 GHz to a bit under 3.8 GHz. Seems's stable, ran prime95 numerous times without a hitch.

Tried a search through the thread but couldn't find anything. What is people's experience, if any, with overclocking the locked i5 2400?
