Post Your Overclock! [2]

[ganjiry]

yeah they are keen ent they lol. they're all under water and LN2 but its no good for longevity is it. more money than sense on those forums lol, they buy box's of gpu's just to oc :O

 

[Solarstarshines]

yeah there is no win in trying to kill something for the sake of

like i said before if i can get it stable at 4.6 ghz under current voltages i think i am good to go


Im completly awesome right now this chip defently will beat some of the other chips out there AMD finally got a good result out of this one

If they would have done this with Bulldozer from the jump and then improved the ICP better then what Piledriver offers now hell this chip would totally be competition with intel

@Ryan, That is a Great winsat score, I just ran it on my Intel system with 16GB 2133 GSKill sniper and it is 28902. You have it set up well mate!

I used to use AMD CPUs, they were much better than the old P4s. Then Intel decided to focus on real performance with the Core line up while AMD just on more GHz. Now I have read AMD will spend more time on GPU performance and less on CPU, I find that sad.

 

[ganjiry]

@solar totally agree mate, if they were getting free cpu's for testings sake then it would be a different story but they just buy a few n ick the good ones out of em. then sell the rest. dont think id like one of their old chips lol
looks like piledriver is what bulldozer was meant to be then. nice that ur getting such good results chap.

@britton cheers chap, yup it runs nice i don't know anything about the older cpu's as ive only owned 3 in my whole 2 years of pc use. all 3 were AMD though
i've still not bothered pushing my cpu at all really. i think the most ive run it at so far is 4.3Ghz @ 1.344v ish but i just keep it at 4.0 most of the time and just have a mess ere n there when i'm bored. i've not oc'd the memory at all yet but no doubt i'll get around to playing some more. now i've got my rig how i wanted it (except ive gone the dark side with gpu) and i know everything is stable, its good to go.
my board does'nt like the cpu/nb over 2.4 and seems better with the ht link freq at 2.0. eventhough stock is a lot higher i think.

 

[Britton30]

I think we've decided an overclock doesn't=performance anyway, only the numbers we like to brag about, lol.

 

[ganjiry]

thats all it is enit really

Gary, does that mean you've reset yours back to defaults?

 

[Britton30]

Temporarily at least. I reinstalled iastor.sys too, msahci was sl-o-o-o-o-o-w as molasses in January.

Well I'm running my CPU at 3.08 with 3.4 Turbo is a tad OC'ed. Vcore at 0.88 idle it will never overheat.
It will go to 3.8 plus whatever Turbo boost and is stable but I can't tell a bit of difference in usage.

Bios had 3 setttings for Ram so I stepped up the Ram from 1440 at 1.5v to 1682 at 1.65v and I notice no difference in use.
Winsat mem went up about 1000 points.

It stays cool works great so why mess with perfection.

Because it's fun and I enjoy a challenge. As a famous 'philosopher' once said "A man's got to know his limitations".

That is why I'm not playing in the Bios settings.

I did get this much out of this chip but i wasnt willing to put my voltage to the max to keep it stable i bumped the v-core to 1.43 the max on the board is 1.449 via bios

I have no idea why it is limited when the manual and online books say it is supposed to be way higher anyway im not trying to fry another board so i guess ill play it safe but im sure if i cranked it up just the last notch i could get this stable

 

[ganjiry]

nice1 chap, dont blame u for paying it safe mate
i think i may hav a bit of a mess today. i've always left my llc at stock which is set too high so i'll see what i can get with a lower llc. default chucks too many volts down the pipe

Seriously the 4100 you are using would get blown away by the 4300 actually the 6300 comes in pretty darn good since they have redone these chips

If you are thinking about getting the better version of your current cpu won't be disapointed this chip has been wrecking the visuals with the 7970 and have to say very smooth i put some screen shots up on post your screen shots you can tell it looks hell of alot crisper

 

[ganjiry]

im not using the 4100 chap i have the 6100 and thats more than enough for me as i pretty much only game enit. next year when i've bought a new psu and monitor i may think of upgrading. i dont think i will though as my rig is already proppa overkill for what i need
saying that tho, they r cheap anyway enit so late next year i could pick one up for next to nothing, i could have bought my mates 8150 for £50 but could'nt see the point. i'll probably leave it as is now and next upgrade go intel as i'll have to buy a new mobo anyway.
i'll av a butchers at ur screenie's though

edit: a less brutal oc, pretty similar settings to urs not to try n rub it in tho but maybe help

edit2 my bad lol wrong cpu

aaaannd i still ent had chance to av a play mother visited. i did manage to get the llc down from its high/extreme defaults though. it was'nt over volting at all as i'm still around stock voltage but was more than i wanted.
i'll av a day at it tommorrow

i'm glad those piledrivers are showing good results tho. stopping a few of the fanboi's

I am thinking of buying a fx-6300 as it eats the 3220 and 3240 for breakfast(exept single threaded(THE ONLY ONE IT LOSES and not by many points anyway)

dont blame u mate, i'm plenty happy with my bulldozer and if the piledrivers are better than its gotta be worth it enit

 

[Pedroc1999]

i mean it is even £6 cheaper than the i3 3240 and the motherboards are cheaper, YOU CANT GO WRONG

Is there a simple OC'ing guide? I'd love to OC one of my many PC's. I don't care about damaging, I got all files saved, and multiple PC's to work with if one is screwed

 

[ganjiry]

There are absolutely loads of guide's to overclocking all over the net. You can google overclocking guide for your specific cpu. There's probably a few threads to give an idea around these forums too BUT before doing anything read, read and read some more, Have a mooch in your bios to make yourself familiar with the bios and when you do finally have a go always keep an eye on your temperatures.
i'm still very new to overclocking but no doubt one of the more experienced lads will be able to help you better.

read as much as you can to familiarise yourself with the job ahead
