Overclocking Athlon II X4 630.

[RaptorX]

ITwares has the non-c3 x4 635 for 5k. Prime has the c3 one for for 150rs more(verified the model through email). How much of a difference does it really make?

 

[coderunknown]

hardly any difference. just C3 will run stable at even 1.15V (appx) whereas C2 will require 1.2V to run stable. the revision difference brings just 2 main things:

1. lower voltage to run proccy stable.
2. increased OC headroom or say will OC more at the default voltage (not always. sometimes the opposite happens too).

Overclocked again with Cooler Master Hyper TX3

It was easy to hit 3.4 Ghz (243 x 14) with all settings auto.But in 3.5 Ghz (250 x 14) PC failed to boot.Then I started to play with voltages, dram settings and all.After I changed dram to ganged mode and manually set ram timing, I was able to boot to windows.Then I tried different voltages and fixed to 1.42.Increased cpu nb frequency to 1.3 from 1.17.Now its prime stable at 55C

current settings :

CPU : AMD Athlon II X4 630 @ 3.5 Ghz
Revision : C2
FSB X Multiplier : 250 x 14
Vcore Under Load : 1.424 V
Vcore at idle : 1.39 V
Cooler : Cooler Master Hyper TX3
CPU NB frequency : 1.3 V
Max temp : 55C

700mhz boost
but idle temps are 55?
isnt it a bit high?

 

[ajai5777]

Its not idle.Idle is 37 and 55 is the max when I run prime.

 

[Piyush]

then its pretty cool i guess

 

[ajai5777]

Actually that 3.5 Ghz was not that stable as I thought.It crashed in prime after some time.Then I increased vcore and memory voltage a bit and now its stable.

Vcore : 1.44 V
memory voltage : 1.61 V
max temp : 57

how is 1.44 V for Athlon II X4 and 1.61 V for Adata value rams ? Are they safe ?

 

[Piyush]

dont know
never reached those values
however u can try asking jassy
though he's at 3.3
he must have tried more than this
