AMD Phenom II (Results Only Thread)

[QuietIce]

Thanks for reminding me!

I finally got my rig on water so I could push the vCore a little higher. Since I expect this CPU to last a few more years I'm still not really gunning it but I managed 3700 @ 1.475 vCore for 24/7 at load use. (This is three week SETI tested.) I have had it to 3800 MHz @ 1.50 vCore for Cinebench but haven't stress tested at that speed since I won't run 24/7 like that, anyway. See the AMD Cinebench thread for a screen shot at 3800.

My biggest hang was the cpuNB - it just doesn't like running over 2200 MHz unless I really push it's voltage up, which I simply won't do. Using 1.25v is more than enough right now.

BTW - Load core temp under water is a cool 41°C.

Here's my best overclock, unfortunately I can't go past 4.0GHz. The 1090T goes for a dump. The RAM however can go as far as 1800MHz. But I seem to get the best results by increasing the FSB. The NB and CPU voltages have been increased by 0.025V.

Here is mine.

Hullo! Long time listener, first time caller!

This is a straight multi overclock. It's as stable as a stable thing! I just wanted to see what the CPU could do before I started with an FSB overclock. I'm seriously thinking about watercooling now, coz I've got a feeling this CPU wants to do quite a bit more. Ambient temps are 24 degrees, max load temps were 50 degrees.

[Old H-Ware Tech]

I actually forgot about this thread, this was posted to hwbot on 2/26. I managed to get 4700 Mhz with only 1 guy beating me in the watercooled 955 cpuz submissions. Check out "Cooling ala Stanley" in the thumbnail at the bottom!

lol. Was like wtf. Intel phenom II thread? Then remembered what day it was today.

Yeah - even the forum names were switched. LOL! April fools!

This thread has been inactive for a while now and I think it is worth bumping so that the newcomers find a place to post their Phenom II OC achievements...

Anyhow... I've spent some time tonight trying to find the highest clocks I can achieve with my 955BE while keeping the voltage as low as possible.

This is what I have so far... It did 4300MHz at 1.36VCore and didn't even blink at any load I put on it so I may bring it back to that for daily use. Not like temps are an issue for it though; idle temps are mid 30s and load temps will hit 50, but never made it past that... Ambient temps in my house are 75F or 24C.

I guess having one of these on the Venomous X heatsink does help temps...

4482MHz @ 1.408 VCore.

New guy here. Got the pc built a couple of weeks ago. Got a free asus board from micro center so overclocking wasn't even a thought but I tried it and without much hassle got 4.0 at 1.38v. Could likely run that at 1.35 but the temps are low enough. Forgot to snap a pic of the CPU tab but the mem tab and validation screen add up so I'm sure it's ok.

NICE.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't 1.6+ risky without something like LN?

Yea, Im sure it is risky, but if you look at anyone running at that rate most of the top 1090t's on water are around high 1.5-1.64. I do not run it all the time just to get a quick bench in. My chip is still running and I think I am the first member on this forum to have a 1090t at launch, and I have played with it on and off at that voltage. I guess if it dies it is more of a reason to get bulldozer when it comes out

Phenom II 970BE 4.1GHz

This was just with a little playing around. I'm cooling with an H60 with one fan. I just wanted a little faster speed without pushing temps too high. This is a very stable OC with no crashes ever.

Sabertooth 990fx & Amd 1090t

These are a few benchmarks of my system at 4.0 Ghz Stable.
Thank You, Trents , Rgone and to all others who helped me with this my first overclock.

My results with a x4 965 BE. Prime has been going for 8 hours now. Due to mobo VRM being pretty high in temp at 4GHz I am going to stop here. (yes, I realize its just a g45 with a heatsink. I got it for free, and I don't argue with free)

Its nice to see a thread like this but unfortunately my Thuban will not go over whats listed in my sig due to lack of a good cooler.

In any case here it is.

9 hours stable @ 1.37v 4Ghz (that has got to be one of the lowest stable 4Ghz voltages here) if so do i get points?
