re: Overclock List & Discussion Thread

Hi..

This might help, OC'ers. Something I put together quickly.

Have broken it into separate process for System, CPU, and RAM.

Hope it help..!

@ darklord - That's amazing though it was expected from as you have used LN2 with 720BE :p but the super pi result is not that good enough though

Listed you OC's on 1st post

BTW, Should I mark it as stable as there is only superpi 1M test not 32M test.

@ asigh - Nice chart :p added the link on 1st page

Added a little warning part on the 1st post and the percentage of OC increment as requested on PM :p

Well, I have mentioned that this is the worst AM3 CPU I have.
Also this is not the best score ;-)

Do not consider these as stable because I have used LN2 which is not a practical cooling solution.

@top gear my oc is actually approx 51% (50.6%) not 53% as stock speed of i7-920 is 2.66Ghz not 2.60Ghz...And im on water btw

@ darklord - That's why I have not tagged it as stable. BTW, removed stable tag from all LN2 cooled cpu's as it not a practical cooling solution.

@ amitash- corrected that and tagged your OC as water cooled :p

re: Overclock List & Discussion Thread

If the stock speed is 3Ghz , if we OC to 3.4 with same Vcore then there will be any temperature increase ??

the huge difference or little ??

There is no relation to CPU speed to vCore to temperatures. It varies chip to chip, system to system. One has to experiment, and get the feel of the system.

For example, till I was pushing in 1.2V my system used to stay below 34-35C, post that it shoots up past 42-43 (idle).

Wow...great OC.

I must say "we" made a good choice buying the Hyper 212. Personally I have always been satisfied buying Coolermaster Products. They are the masters of cooling...!...Be it TIM, fans, Coolers, cabinets...not used their PSU but am sure they are good. I previously had a Cool Viva Plus on my old 8500GT...OC'ed it like crazy.

By the way..can someone start a 3dmark/Vantage thread. We all can post their. Or should we just post it here...but it will mess it up...???

@ asigh - thanks!

Nice idea. Created a separate thread for 3DMark scores :p

^^ The OC'ed one is the slave GPU. Since the 2nd GPU which I got was stocked at 1000/900, and my first one was at 975/850. So to make them match I OC'ed the 2nd one to match the first one.

The slave one runs slightly cooler.

Idle:
GPU1: 67C
GPU2: 62C

Load: (Furmark)
GPU1: 87C
GPU2: 86C

Load: (Gaming)
GPU1: 78C
GPU2: 72C

Obviously FURMARK burns the hell out of the GPUs.

^^ Seriously not bad for the Reference coolers , u can use arctic accelero S2- cause i was thinking to go for this one for my GTX260 (cheap GPU cooling)

re: Overclock List & Discussion Thread

OK! I have Athlon X2 4400+. I can overclock upto 2.8Ghz without touching vcore. The thing is whenever I have to overclock I just have to disable AMD's Cool 'n' Quiet as the CPU Frequency Scaling (i.e. the throttling down of frequency) feature does not allow frequency over 2.3 Ghz and and disabling Cool 'n' Quiet disables CPU Frequency scaling as well.
The thing is I want to have such that the CPU Frequency Scaling works with 2.8Ghz and also throttles down when necessary. Any ideas?

@asigh: Nice diagram ;)

Honestly cannot be bothered to remove the cooler of the GPUs. They can easily sustain temperatures past 90C. (That is why we pay so much for them). And I doubt I will need to OC. Am satisfied with the Xfire.

You planning to dismantle yours..????

Just being logical here..never OC'ed an AMD.

1. Which motherboard you have.
2. What is the max FSB (1) supports.
3. Is the multiplier unlocked (I think you can do it on AMD chipsets).
4. Which multipliers you tried.

I think throttling should still work. How you know it is not working...?? If at certain settings you are able to get the CPU speeds up high, and pass the stability tests...then be happy and leave it there...! :)

@LFC_fan: AFAIK AMD cool n quiet is quiet inefficient on the older amd models like the 4400+ and hampers OCing unlike intels speedstep...you will just have to disable it...alternately u may try a bios update to see if it helps

@asigh: he has an amd procy so no FSB and ocing is a totally different process and afaik multiplier is locked on non black edition procys
