Post Your Overclock!

Nice OC, looks good.

Thanks. I left it running LinX overnight to see if it was fully stable and woke up to find that my computer had restarted . Guess I need to up the core voltage by a few notches.

My daily OC,.. undervolted well,
running well at Vcore 1.375V

still so far from my target, I want to calculate under 10 second

air cooling :shock:

daily OC,.. undervolted more

Show us your CPU Performance, any good program will do.

I thought i would post this to see peoples CPU Performance, use any good program like CPU-Z.

CPU-Z Validator 3.1

Running on Stock as always

Can you actually play Fable 3 and Bulletstorm with your CPU at that Speed?????

air cooling :shock:

That would be even more impressive if the fan was controlled by the PC...

I finished Bulletstorm 2 days ago on Maxed Out Settings @ native 1440x900 and playing Fable III on Max settings too as well but Fable III is kind a bad port and has FPS drop but yeah i can play both

P.S. New games like 4 Cores and 2 to 3 years ago when games were usually optimized for Dual Cores CPU's so they used to out perform Quads in some cases but now newer games runs better on Quads

 

[YTBOY83]

Think my Phenom x2 565 could still handle the new games along with a decent GPU?????

 

[boogieboy]

You do have a good CPU+RAM+PSU but your GPU is not for gaming Yes if you will get a decent mid-range GPU like GTX 460 or AMD 6850 for example you will see a massive performance boost in all current and previous games on your native 1366x768 and will be able to play most of the games on Max settings

I do not need the extra fan to run at 1.3v Vcore (my daily OC setup), that setup was only my fun activities

This is mine on a good day lol


Edit , however seeing as cpuz is used in the post your overclock thread I thought it would be good to add something else.

Passmark performance test result , cpu score 12907 at 5ghz (see pic) Test free to download.

Bad boy overclock there m8. Wicked m8.

Nothing all that great.

Do you have a cool n quiet enabled?

Yes I do

Yes I do

Lol! I thought I was seeing things when I looked at the CPU. I didn't see the II in Athlon II, and i thought "It's broken or something."

CNQ. That's hilarious, you got me. What does it do with CNQ turned off?

With CNQ turned off the CPU heatsink fan ramps-up and the processor goes into full performance mode, even though what it is pushing out is not needed. And my room will start to spike up in temperature due to the excessive heat which is one of the reasons I have Cool n' Quiet on.

This is what Cool n' Quiet is made to do:

• Helps enable electricity cost savings.
• Helps enable smaller form factors that take up less space for both practical and aesthetic purposes.
• Helps enable systems that are quiet and do not generate excessive heat - ideal for growing media center PC market.

Cool n' Quiet 2.0 Additions:

• Independent Dynamic Core Technology- Helps users get more efficient performance by dynamically adjusting individual core frequencies as required by utilization needs
• Dual Dynamic Power Management™ - Helps improve platform efficiency by providing full-speed memory performance while enabling decreased system power consumption.
• AMD CoolCore™ Technology - Helps users get more efficient performance by dynamically activating or turning off parts of the processor.
• AMD Wideband Frequency Control - Allows the processor to respond more precisely to user demands, maximizing performance to deliver a better PC user experience.
• Multi-Point Thermal Control - Prevents processor from creating too much heat and enables a cooler, quieter PC experience

Cool n' Quiet 3.0 Additions:

• AMD Smart Fetch Technology - Fewer processing cycles are required to locate information since data storage is streamlined and stored in the shared L3 cache. Provides CPU power savings by maintaining processor sleep states and sharing cached data between cores.
• 45 nm Process Technology with Immersion Lithography - puts more transistors in less space and delivers better processor performance while using less power.

I also see CNQ as away of increasing you CPU lifespan.

Indeed, that is one thing I didn't really think of, thank the computer Gurus for CNQ.
