Well my Athlon64 3000+ venice core socket 939 does 9x300=2700 with 1.45V on mine Asrock 939 Dual sata2 mobo. And i am currently thinking if i should do a volt mod in the near future to get some more juice fore the core. Somewhere around 1.55V for 2800+mhz should do it wright;)

Nice. I saw the variable volt mod (using a potentiometer) on this site somewhere. What kind of CPU cooler are you using?

I have a 3700+ in same rig only gets 100+MHZ that one has the big momma cache ,she tops out around 2.97 in stabilty:D :D

funny how this thread became a post your AMD oc results page :roll:

oh well to put it back on track you could try these settings on yours


NOTE-this is undevolted on the cpu i can prolly get the undervolt even lower but have not tried temps on the stock cooler are 33C idle 42C load using Sandra XIb arithmetic test 3 times

Well im using Thermaltake k8 silent boost with a revoltec blue led fan insted of the stock fan and i get temps around 40 in idle and im not shure how much on load. And the mod i will probably do on mine mobo will be this one http://www.ocworkbench.com/2005/asrock/reviews/939dual-sata2/vcoremodguide2.htm to get the cpu voltage up to 1.55V i just need to get a conductive paint ore something simmilar because i dont want to solder anything yet and some time to do the mod;)

yes 240*9 @ stock volts should be good for a 1st try if you have good ddr400 try 1:1 (loosening timings of course) if not drop it back to a 333mhz divider

How is it that my 3000+ not overclocked is running at temps around 70C with a stock heatsink and cooler? The fan's working at full throttle I believe. Any suggestions aside from an aftermarket cooler?

Whoah, with a stock cooler and no OC @ 70C, there is a problem there. You better check that you have put some thermal paste between your heatsink and CPU. You will need to clean off the old thermal paste that comes with the stock cooler, and re-apply some aftermarket stuff. That's the only thing I can think of that can cause such a problem, unless your thermal sensor is faulty.

75C is the max thermal so you really are pushing that chip new thermal paste probably the issue or bad clip on the mobo

take a can of compressed air and clean out the fins of the heatsync !!! be carefull not to nock any wires off in the process and be sure you unplugg the pc and disharge the pc by holding the power button on for a count aof 30 seconds before you start to clean !!!.:toast:

I agree with that. My Athlon XP 2200 was running at 60*c once and it was due to the heatsink being clogged with dust. Once I cleaned it out, I was running 30*C again.

havent met a 3000+ i couldnt get 2.55-2.65 out of on stock cooling.

that is with a decetnt overclocking board, looks like the posters board is via based, so clockings very hit and miss, i stick with nvidia based for 754/939 overclocking, just a better allaround exp to avoid via

Thanks guys. When I went to do this, I noticed the clamp wasn't completely secured on the heat sink. I figured that was probably the source of my problem, but I cleaned the fins anyways. Put everything back together and now my temps are hovering around 42C. Man, I can't believe the latch wasn't secured. Any idea how many years I just lobbed off my processor running it around 75C for a month?

um, if it was stable, probbly no usefull years of life where lost, really by the time a cpu dies most times the systems so old its only good for VERY old lagacy games, even from high overclocking with blah cooling.

I guess that would depend on how hard you pushed it (what games/apps you ran and for how long). Hopefully it shouldn't have dramatically reduced the life, but who knows.

he an expect 2.44ghz 24/7 on the via mobo i have the same chipset (basically the same mobo really)
