need help overclocking Phenom II x6 1100T

[scavenger84]

well I think it rgone who told me before that it was the chip that didn't let me run 2400 , but aslong that the noctua can handle it I'm happy

 

[Johan45]

He was right the Thuban 1100T won't run 2400 memory because of the internal mem controller. What I'm saying is that even though the FX can run 2400 the board plays a part in that as well. You'll have to run the NB speed at 2400 or more . Most likely have to up the HTref clock since I don't think that 2400 is an option at the stock 200 Htref clock on that motherboard. I guess I'm saying it'll take some work but most likely possible.

Hi ive just recently added some new case fans to my build and wanted to do a new test , ive installed a dead silence 140mm intake fan in the front instead of a stock coolermaster 120mm which ive put as an exhaust for the time being and also added two 140mm corsair quiet but high pressure fans as exhaust on the top to blow from cpu and I have fresh applied some new corsair thermal paste to see if I get better score .

why does my clock speed in cpu-z say 3.8 but windows say its 3.6?

fsb 212
20 min test

 

[Johan45]

Looks good

 

[scavenger84]

Should I take to 213 or do I need to up anything else before I do

 

[Johan45]

From what I see, there's no harm, next time include the Mem tab not SPD. You have headroom for cooling and more voltage if you need it. Go for it

I forgot to disable cool and quiet do I will disable and run test again but so far so good

213 retest

Looks good, nice chip you have there. If you try upping it one more and have problems you may need to add some volts to the memory since you're already over 1700. Not sure what timings it need for 1600 since there's no tab for that but those are really close to what it lists for 1333 at 1.5v

I thought I can't take the memory any higher?

No errors

That's not what I said. If the memory causes issues you will have to change the timings/speed that's all.
Looks like you still have room to me

Should I set the tRC to 33?

 

[Johan45]

No I would just add .05 to the voltage so 1.55v for now. Did you try adding some V_Core to the CPU ?

 

[scavenger84]

no I haven't changed any voltages at all just been uping the fsb

 

[Johan45]

Start with the V_Core. You're right around that 4.0 mark and will need more

 

[scavenger84]

do I add .05 ?
