Official Seven Forums Overclock Leader boards [2]

[Indianatone]

Hi Ladies and Gents. Not really into over clocking but since my wife's machine barfed I put my motherboard in her machine to save a major reinstall and configuration job I got myself a new motherboard and CPU to play with. See Specs. The machine is clocking the CPU @3.7 Ghz without doing anything. Anyone have any advice on how to tweak for maybe 4Ghz or so on all cores?

Good to see you Indianatone
You should find plenty of info about overclocking Vishera in this thread http://www.sevenforums.com/bsod-hel...ng-asus-sabertooth-990fx-mobo-oc-utility.html
If there's anything you need to ask just gis a shout mate I'm not awake yet though :drool:

Thank you ganjiry, Ill read, learn and hopefully push this up a little. Does it matter that this is an 8 core compared to the 6 core FX6300? I have the FX8320. I don't want to break it!

You're welcome chap
No it doesn't make any difference chap, they're pretty much the same cpu apart from the amout of cores

glad to see you up and about Tony. The Hoosier air will do you good, lol.

Watch the temps closely, AMDs can get too hot fast. Use Core temp and set the overheat protection to power down at about 10C before your max temp.

Core temp isn't very good when it comes to AMD cpu's, Either HWmonitor,HWinfo64 or AIDA64 are better and show you the core and socket temp's. Here's some good info on AMD temp's AMD Temp Information and Guide the The programs I listed above will show a rediculously low core temp when the cpu is idle as it's not accurate untill around 40-45c so for idle temp's just check the socket temp for a rough idea.

Thanks Gary, got a Cooler master Hyper 212 with push pull fans. I'll set that to turbo when I play with it. Should keep it cool. Core temp is always running on my machines in any case as I am nerdy that way Runs at 19 to 21 C idle and @ 40C with Prime 95 at 3.7Ghz which seems to be the default.
Hoosier air....the polution form coal fired power stations, crappy cars and pick up trucks, companies pumping God knows what into the atmosphere as Indiana has third world pollution controls, neighbours wood burning fireplaces...yeah lovely cough cough gag gag...... :roflmao::roflmao::roflmao:

For AMD (FX), I have found that Open Hardware monitor and Aida64 are the best for temps. I used a digital Unit-t M890G with k type thermocouples to verify the results as best as I could and both the programs were pretty much on the target.

So, Tony, why did you land here if we have so much bad air? It's cleaner than 80% of the US mate.

He he Gary well mate it's because us Limeys will try anything once LOL!!

Well he has intimated this is the only place in the world with vehicles that have exhaust or coal fired power plants. The EPA closely controls all types of toxic emissions.

Oops sorry mate I said it in jest - shouldn't have said anything

Tony too was making a humorous statement I believe. But I live in Sunny California, so what do I know

Penguins are slow creatures by nature, probably why it's taking me so long to get to the green zone where I will be safe from the seals. Here is a little notch up

Nice work Ralph.

[crankypenguin]

Thanks Paul. I know I can hit 5 I am just afraid to add +0.275, this one I ran at +0.250 if my memory serves me right. Although it could of been .225, I was just really anxious and I wasn't paying attention to the exact number, but I added 1 step to the voltage and it booted up just fine. And my CPU temps never went above 30 ( reading in bios ). I have seen validations of my fx-6100 around 5ghz with a core voltage around 1.52ish~. So I know it can be done, and my motherboard seems ok with it.

Nice one Ralph. You are wise to take your time. Sometimes stuff breaks if you dont.

And sometimes stuff breaks for no reason at all, other than to cause you aggravation.

I know it`s not the graphics card thread, but they review the 780 Ti in amongst this video.

Come on Cranky, Melt that Motherboard

 

[essenbe]

Thanks, AddRam. It looks nice but would like to see if it's just an overclocked 780 or a different animal all together. I suspect the former, but I'll find out when/if I get in the buying mood.
