Post Your Overclock!

[ZaLiTH]

It's been a long time coming. I've wanted to upgrade my chip for a long while but decided to wait for bulldozer. Now we've seen it's sub par performance, I grabbed a 1090T and will wait for BD rev 2.0

Sent from my HD7 T9292 using Board Express

I was very tempted to do that... My original plan (before the BD release date was announced) was to get either the 1090T or the 1100T with a BullDozer compatible AM3+ board, but once the reviews started coming out I changed my mind, so I'll be getting an i5-2500K instead. I really hope the BDs improve, but honestly I've lost a bit of faith in AMD now... So I'll keep an eye on them and see what happens.

I've never bought Intel but if new stepping or something for BD isn't released I might seriously consider it. Unless of course Piledriver is what Bulldozer should have been

UPDATE: Tightened the RAM timings. Much better

low budget = low spec

Nice overclock. Good job.

 

[Big Tom]

4.2Ghz using only the multiplier

Good one Tom

Nice job, Big Tom.

Thanks Fellas Not Too Bad For My First OC

LOL! Good editing. Your CPU may be bad though, with a Bus of 2500MHz and x16 multiplier, you should be at 40GHz.

 

[Britton30]

This may not seem impressive, but this CPU is a 2.8Ghz stock frequency and a locked multiplier. It is stable and a 33% overclock. I had to dial my 1600MHz RAM back a bit to 1472MHz but still have 7-8-7-24T timings.

Nice one Britton. 33% oc is pretty good.

 

[essenbe]

Good job Britton. 33% is really very good.

 

[essenbe]

That's really great. We have a new world record, set right here on Seven forums. It is actually 3 times the previous world record and the first 487W CPU I have ever seen.

 

[ZaLiTH]

...and the first 487W CPU I have ever seen.

Lol... I didn't even notice that. I saw the code name, technology and core speed, but not the TDP..

that's pretty sick. that makes me want to play around with mine a little more. all i used was multiplier on mine for a modest .5Ghz overclock

 

[Dave76]

WOW, nice, I'm gonna have to get one of them

Did the lights dim when you cranked it up?

 

[Britton30]

Got it to run a tidbit better, hit that 4GHz barrier. Not to stable with tests at this speed, but the PC runs.

Xbit Labs apparently got a stable 4.0GHz with the 1055T (link), but they had the core voltage a bit higher.. Depending on what temps you get, maybe an extra 0.05 or 0.1 volts would do the trick?

Either way, that is definitely a nice OC you got going there, especially considering stock is only 2.8..

Thanks Zalith, CPU-Z shows 1.488 there, but I have it set to 1.5V in BIOS. Core Temp says 1.33V:sarc:

I have bumped it up a notch to 1.54V, hopefully it won't crash and burn. I saw one forum where a guy got it to 4.2 with some water cooling. I had already seen the same Xbit experiment, Essenbe linked me to it a few days ago and I've been looking all over for info. Problem with this #$%^&*(! mobo id I have no HT adjustment, it defaults to 10x of the FSB frquency.
