Left at stock and ran benchmarks cinebench cpu and open gl, 3dmark11, 3dmark vantage, unigine heaven.
I then Oclocked to 3.4GHz (left voltage at stock..only upped the multiplier to 34x..left FSB as 100) and ran benchmarks (before benching i ran ran Prime95 for 1 hour and no issues)
here are the before and after benchmarks
-Cinebench CPU - from 3.47 to 3.74..better
-Cinebench Open GL - from 21.1FPS to 16.02FPS..worse
-3dMark11 - from 3204 to 2447 (graphics from 2627 to 1954 and CPU from 9397 to 10015)..graphics worse and CPU better
-3dmark Vantage - from 905 to 755
-Unigine Heaven - from 15.1 FPS to 12.1 FPS
As you can see all CPU scores increased and all graphics went down
i raised voltage Core from 1.412 to 1.425 and NB from 1.15 to 1.1625 and re-ran Cinebench CPU and GL
cinebench CPU from 3.74 to 3.79..voltage increase further increased CPU perf
cinebench GL from 16.02 to 15.99..voltage increase further decreased graphics
here are the system specs
- CPU: AMD a8-3870k
- Mobo:Asrock A75M-HVS
- RAM: Corsair 8 GB Vengeance Blue Low Profile 1600mhz PC3-12800 240-pin Dual Channel DDR3 Memory Kit 8 Dual Channel Kit - CML8GX3M2A1600C9B
- Cooler: Hyper 212+ with extra fan (Push pull)
- Power Supply: ePOWER EP-500NE-XV 500W ATX12V v2.2 / ESP12V v2.91
- no graphics card installed yet a8-3870k inbuilt GPU radeom hd 6550D
- Case: Rosewill CHALLENGER-U3 Black Gaming ATX Mid
- SSD: Crucial M4 64Gb C: drive (ACHI)
- HDD:Hitachi HUA721010KLA330 1TB E: drive
- Optical: Samsung SATA Model SH-222BB/BEBE
here are some screen shots which I'm attaching from monitoring programs (status after OC to 3.4Ghz and voltage increase)
ANY IDEAS ANyONE?
