Is this an ok OC for a 2000+?

[K_King]

I'm new to this but right now I have it at 180x10.5 and 1.75 volts and the stock AMD heatsink.

IMO, anything beyond suggested clock speed is an 'OK' OC ..

 

[rugbyroy]

I concur with pacino... btw you were great in the devils advocate

Im going for 2 Ghz tomorrow XP wouldnt load to show the screen but I was at 1.8 volts, Im going to throw 1.85 at it and 180x11.5 and see if I cant get 2.07GHz. Weeeeeeeeeeeeee this is fun lol.

i wouldn't raise the voltage too high using the stock heatsink. infact, i wouldn't even OC using the stock heatsink.

keep an eye on your temps and good luck

Whats weird is that this stock HS gives better temps at 1900 Mhz than my Volcano 9+ with AS3 at 1710. I dont know why either.

 

[pacino]

What's your Volcano fanspeed runnin' at?

 

[K_King]

I had it at 5000 rpm and at idle it would be 42° C at 1710 where with the stock HS I can run it at 3000 rpm and be in the 38-40° C range at 1900 Mhz.

where did you get the epox usdm?

 

[K_King]

From my CD that came with my MB. 8RDA+

none of the ones on my cd work.. which did you install?

 

[deftor]

Are you sure that you had the heatsink on tight with the volcano? I wouldn't put my voltages too high either. It makes me nervous to think that it will be running at the speed when it turns summer. I keep thinking that the temps will go sky high.

 

[K_King]

I am on XP so I think I used this one.

USDM107LM

All I did though was run the setup and under that Magic Utility option I selected USDM.

 

[GravY]

gah, I was trying to load from the file folder.. tnx man..

 

[K_King]

np it's actually real helpful

 

[GravY]

I like it better than MBM5..

K_King, What type of chip are you running? palamino, TBred A/B?

 

[modenaf1]

its a model 8 in cpuid, so i think a tbred. judging fromt the o/c, probably an "a"
