We had a cold snap the last few days so for kicks I put the computer outside my office on a bench and went to work on getting more speed out of it. Initial overclock was 3.9 with 1.464 vcore (thuban).
Temps outside were about 28*F. I bumped it up to 4000mhz, where it usually hits a brick wall. In this case it was fine. So ulitmately it was a fun little project and I was able to get a stable clock of 4202mhz on the ol' hexacore!
Here is the cpu z shot:
and memory shot:
This pic is from aida64. When you unlock extra cores (Zosma 970T x4 = 1705T X6), for some reason it doesnt tell the correct temp for each core. The first # is usually reliable. Normally, inside, that runs about 100-105.
burrr!! thats snow on the bench and seadoo!
Love the biostar TA880GU3+, great board:
My AMD sticker needs some work!
Going to try for a "snowoverclock"
one of these days. I think 5 GHZ is within range, ok maybe not
