Approaching 1.7GHZ Wahoooo!!!!

[Paul.K]

Hi all,

Had the chance to build my brothers PC this weekend. I notice he had a 1.4GHz AMD with stepping AYHJA 'Y'. Since he has no interest in overclocking his CPU, we swap my AYHJA '4' for his AYHJA 'Y'. As you can imagine I was very excited to see what kind of overclock I could get from this chip, since my old chip could only reach 1.55GHz even with my Vcore mod. Now once his system was built I went on to play with this new baby chip. My first supprise was this chip ran stable at 12X by 133Mhz. My old chip couldnt. I ran the chip on this setting for one day. To make things a bit more interesting, yesterday evening I ran the chip at 146Mhz by 11.5X,but it eventually frooze my system. I then increased Vcore to 2.08 and now its running stable at 1.68GHZ. Since this chip is only 3 days old.....will burning in the CPU more allow me to reach 1.7Ghz. I have also noticed my temperature increase to 44C idle and 50C load. Are these temperatures ok....
Has anyone done any SK6 HSF mods....or give me some advice in cooling this baby....

Benchmarks to follow this evening.....

Thanks guys......

Congrats on the new CPU & a really nice O/C. How about staying with the 12 multiplier & up the FSB 1MHz at a time with the corresponding voltage increase to the VCore & VIO? Just my $0.02:) There is a 60mm to 80mm fan upgrade for the SK6 but if you have the cash go for a swifty+delta 80mm

That's a good OC, I'm drooling. I run my 1.2 Ghz at 1378 (145x9.5) @ 1.85 volt. My idle temp is 46C and load temp 52C. I never have any problems.

[Mr.Lansing]

Nice o/c
but i think maybe you can get it a bit lower with more fans!

[Paul.K]

Thanks guys......

I thought the Sk6 is a good HSF combination. I am running a delta 7000rpm screamer at the moment. I was thinking of doing a case mod and placing a few 120 or 80mm fans on the side of the case blowing cold air over the CPU. Would you reckon this will lower my CPU temperature.


Also would it be better to burn in the CPU for a while and then up the settings including Vcore and Vio.....

[oc jason]

duct a good 80mm or even a 92 mm in side of case blowing on cpu, get a good high cfm 80mm and a 60 to 80 mm adapter for the SK6 lapp it well and use AS2 and you will shave temps off, then maybe the 1.7+ is in reach. i hope you get it. Also maybe an aluminum case will do it. heck with water or a TEC 1.7is a sure thing for that chip id think

[Paul.K]

What the hell is an adapter for the SK6 and could you give me more direct instructions...like what in ducting....whats a TEC......


Thanks

[Paul.K]

I have attached an WCPUID shot of my processor at 1660Mhz. I have lowered the Vcore has my temperature is around 50C at load. I'll have to do some case mods and HSF mods before I'll increase the Vcore and reach the magical 1.7Ghz...

If it passes prime95 at those speeds you have a great chip. Also the new Alpha might be worth looking at. the 0845 should lower temps a little. mod your case adn get better air flow I think that will help the most for you now.

[Paul.K]

Just after playing quake Arena for 4 hours. System completely stable at the 1660Mhz.....Wahooo.....Temp 51C load...:eek:

[Paul.K]

Another Q any 1.7Ghz aircooled AMD Athlon chips out there???!!??

[el]

seen a few about 1.65 but not any at 1.7 that is one sweet chip. give your brother a NIC or something for the sweet trade.

[Warlord2]

nice overclock=]


I would watch out for temps when it comes summer though

[JAWS]

Very nice O/C. Jason had some great ideas if you are serious about getting to 1.7!

You can go here (http://1coolpc.com/home/) & look around for the adapter. It's something to fit an 80mm fan on your SK6. TEC is just another name for a peltier.

[Paul.K]

I'm going to do some real modifications to my case this weekend. My power regulator chips used to supply a 3 phased power supply to the CPU are getting hot. What can you use to stick the heatsinks to these chips. Can you use some type of adhesive like superglue or something.....


I would like help in cooling this rig, any suggestions and comments would be greatly appreciated. It would be great to get this chip running at 1.7GHz+ air cooled.

Has I live in Ireland, must online shops dont sell their products international so peltiers are out of the question I reckon.....grrrrrrrr


Thanks for making this place worth while..

[Paul.K]

Can you apply superglue to the mosfets of an motherboard for installation of heatsinks........


Or can anyone give me another idea for attaching small aluminum heatsinks to the mosfets of the motherboard has they are getting warm from my Vcore mod.


Thanks.....

[oc jason]

whatever you do dont try too hard to get 1.7 what you got is VERY RESPECTABLE. I want to see you get 1.7 but i DONT wanna see you add some stuff like fans and what not, and them disrupty an alrady good system then only get 1500 stable. I know hat you are smarted than that but i has happend before. ID go for the 60 to 80mm adapter first as that can in no way hurt anything. maybe a Better Hs all together the Alpha 8045, will do nicely. Dont cur holes just yet see if you can get more with what you alreaedy got. Then add a high flow 80mm panaflow Fan. Or a 92mm fan that also has good airflow, and have it blowing directly on the cpu, maybe 2 80mm will do a good job id think. Please keep us informed and if you need and advice just pm me on yahoo, icq or aol or email and ill help all htat i can

[Paul.K]

Jason or anyone,

By adding a duct to my system I am sure to get lower temps right, since the cold outside air will be blowing on top of my HSF unit, when compared to my HSF taking the air from within the case and blowing that on top of the CPU. Also can I glue heatsinks to my mosfets.....like superglue I need to know by tomorrow...please....

Thanks

[oc jason]

Yes that will almost gaureentee better temps by a couple degrees, also try turning the HSfan aound to blow into the SK6 instead of sucking away from it - it dropped my friends temp 5c.

Ducting cold air to your HSF can lower your temps but make sure you get the same pressure & CFM to it. I just ordered the 120mm 130CFM fan on shop that I put a link to & will be using a home made velocity stack to direct the air on my heatsink sans the fan. I'm hoping that the added CFM, 38 - 130, with proper ducting help me cool better. It might loose out on pressure being that the 120mm spins slower but the CFM should take care of it.

[proze]

as for heatsinks on the mosfets... i attached small heatsinks to my vid card ram with drops of superglue on the corners of the ram chips. i used arctic silver on the chips, and the drops of superglue.. that's all. and they've never fallen off. only thing is that i'm sure the mosfets get much hotter than ram chips. might make the superglue fail. try www.2cooltek.com for arctic silver thermal epoxy. i'm also an non-us citizen, and 2cooltek have been good to me.

Nice OC there M8! You got a great chip! :) 1.7 is definately obtainable Over at [H]ardOCP, Hardware Central, etc in the last couple months there have been 1.4s [with screenshots] that have been in the 1.7s and 1.8s. Fastest one I have seen posted [with screenshots of Sandra and WCPUID] was 2062. But ya gotta take into consideration many are watercooled and some even supercooled. Have seen quite a few 1.4s@1.7+ air cooled though.
Anadtech has a guy on their board with one of the new 1.533s at 1.8 already.

I'm almost there too!!!:D

Nice O/C! That AYHJAR "Y" must be a awesome chip!

erickkk - What are you using to cool that bad boy with??????!!!!!

[Paul.K]

Hi guys did the mod to my case the weekend. Now my CPU load temperature is 45C a drop of 6-7C. It was completely worth it.
I have changed the CPU settings see below...stable has hell!!!

[Paul.K]

Here's the WCPUID image...

[The Coolest]

erickkk>> W-O-W!!! An awsome OC... How did you manage to get those kinds of speed with the FSB????? That is unbelievable...:eek:

[Diu]

Just get water cooling... :)

[Paul.K]

Since I did my case mod, the temperatures are now:

CPU idle 41C
CPU load 45-46C

My Vcore setting is 2.05-2.08 volts.
My CPU settings are 12X by 139FSB = 1.67Ghz.

Since this chip is only 7 days old, would you reckon burning the chip in for a few more weeks will get me to the 1.7Ghz barrier. Any thoughts on this.

Cheers guys!!!

[The Overclocker]

nice overclock, next step is definatly watercooling

[Dagon]

I know the feeling...my computer posts 1733 (1.85)but it won't finish loading Windows.

To get over 1700+ I'd need to do a voltage mod, new PSU and maybe go to water cooling, I know my chip can do it no problem...

But that's a lot more $$ for a 100-200 more mhz over my current 1600. Oh the humanity!
