Post Your Overclock! [2]

[M1GU31]

Cool and quiet is working because I see the cpu down clock to 800MHz when idle and ramps up when you start doing some heavier task.The problem is it only ramps up to the old default clocks at 3000MHz even though in the bios I have it set at 3600MHz and the bios sees it as 3600MHz.So cool and quiet is working but it won't recognize my new clocks apparently,wonder if there's some way to get it to ramp up to my new clocks at 3600MHz then ramp down when idle to save some power. Something seems to be bugged or it only works using stock clocks.Anyways thanks for the assistance,just the pc is being stubborn and have to keep cool and quiet for my new clocks to work.Also the cool and quiet drivers seem to be only for win xp and win sever 2003,these are the only downloads that come up for the Athlon 64bit family drivers http://support.amd.com/us/psearch/P...Download+Processor&ostype=&keywords=&items=20

Been a week and it's super stable even with cool and quiet off.Couldn't get it to work properly with cool and quiet on,it wouldn't clock past 3000MHz.Anyways Super stable at 3600MHz,no problems what so ever.

I was running at 4.7GHz but even on water, it was still hitting high 80s under full load. So I've dropped it down to 4.4 and I'm slowly working the voltage down to try and cool it down a little bit I'm at 1.26 at the moment, I'll leave prime running over night.

 

[M1GU31]

Nice overclock Tom,let us know how that prime95 test went and if it was stable

Why is 1403 so fussy?! I can't get 4.6 stable on the same settings anymore and I don't even know where to start fixing.

1403?

 

[essenbe]

I believe BIOS version, Gary. At least I think.

 

[ganjiry]

yup asus bios 1403. there are quiet a few threads on the rog forums from peeps avin probs with it.

 

[Terronium 12]

Yeah. BIOS version. Sorry about that.

And really? I should really pay that place a visit and see what the deal is then.

 

[ganjiry]

i think there is a modded version there that peeps have been using too thats pretty good. im only going by what ive read there tho.

I was running at 4.7GHz but even on water, it was still hitting high 80s under full load.

Stress or daily?


Don't worry about stress loads.

But it's a H100, so it's not exactly 'full water cooling' - think of it as more like 'high end' air cooling.

I was hitting high 80's during stress, but average real world 'heavy load' is about 65c. And that's on my hottest core. others don't even break 60c.

Occasionally my hottest core hits low 70's - but it's still well within the comfort zone.

Basically you're still good at 4.7ghz with those temps


You can always round off with a nice 4.6ghz and more comfy temps.

Well, whatever you'd classify Folding@Home to be. I know it isn't stress as such, but it's pretty heavy on the CPU usage.

Yeah, I'm planning on replacing it with a proper water cooling kit, I've heard good things about the XSPC kits so I might go for one of them But, I need the money first.

I need to have another play with it I'll let you guys know how I get on.

 

[Terronium 12]

I think I need to pick up some MX-4 now because for some reason the temps are fairly higher than they were prior to the two week blackout. Maybe I've applied too much paste.

Ugh. At least I won't have to re-manage any wires. Yet.

Yeah, folding is pretty stressful on both CPU and GPU.

If was hitting high 80's whilst folding, then yeah - that is a bit warm

I've been out of the 'loop' for a while when it comes to WC kits - but I've heard XSPC kits are pretty good.

(Although selecting custom components and creating your own kit is even better. But that damn money business... )

If you've got a spare flash drive (FAT32) lying around, you could take some pics of your BIOS settings and post them here if you'd like. I/we could have a look and see if we can help lower some volts and settings here and there. Up to you mate

Either way, good luck with it.

Either too much or too little. MX-4 is good stuff, but have you considered IC Diamond? Very good stuff.

Seems to be no (immediate) need for that anymore. I affixed three more fans to the top of the rad for push-pull and the temps are stellar now. Core 3 going no higher than 69C is annoying me though. lol

Now to get this clock all stable again; hopefully it can be done, if not I guess I'll just flash back.

EDIT: Oh! Core 3 is at 73 now which matches 0, whilst 1 and 2 are at 78 and 80, respectively.
EDIT 2: And now it's 87-98-100-91. Jesus, Ivy.
EDIT 3: And...fail. Worker 2 failed on test 32, 8k.

Jesus indeed

At those temps, chances are it hit and failed because of the thermal wall.

Odd thing is it's stable again at 4.5 with 1.3v. I'm not understanding the quirkiness of this BIOS.

 

[smarteyeball]

What were you aiming for at what voltage?

 

[Terronium 12]

4.6 at 1.325, same as before.

 

[smarteyeball]

What temps were you getting at 4.5 with 1.3v (and is that actual or what's set in the BIOS)
