How's my overclock?? AMD Phenom II rig

itsakjt · Dec 30, 2012, 10:56 AM

Hey this is my current OC. Today tightened the RAM timings.

de.das.dude · Dec 30, 2012, 11:07 AM

cpu core 1V?? turn off cnq

u still using your kingston memory?

DarkOCean · Dec 30, 2012, 11:11 AM

good enough, what's the vcore?

Jack1n · Dec 30, 2012, 11:25 AM

Hes running 1.37v,thats a pretty good OC i had a phenom 2 940 before and it didnt OC nearly as good.

DarkOCean · Dec 30, 2012, 11:28 AM

that's a good voltage , later cpus from amd always oc better; for intel is the other way.

itsakjt · Dec 30, 2012, 01:46 PM

@de.das.dude- Voltage is 1.378 V LLC on. CnQ is on too. I prefer keeping it on since the CPU consumes too much power at load(sometimes the UPS screams even :P ) and yep I am still on my Kingston memory. They rock. :P

@All- You got it right. :-)

Aquinus · Dec 30, 2012, 01:49 PM

You actually might get a little better memory bandwidth if you get your CPU/NB speed closer to 2.4-2.5Ghz rather than 2.8Ghz. I've seen benchmarks done where the CPU/NB scales better as clocks go up. 2.8Ghz is better if your CPU was running at something like 4.4Ghz or more.

itsakjt · Dec 30, 2012, 03:18 PM

Yeah I tried it but the speed decreases. :P

I run my NB @ 2600 for 4Ghz
I also do my core overclocking with PhenomMSRtweaker (nb is set in the bios)

I too had a Phenom II x4 940 OC'ed at 3.60GHz w/1.375v. 600MHz OC was great.

Must be a good chip. When I had my Crosshair III Formula and 955BE C3, I think I needed like 1.45v LLC to do 3.9 and somehow I was able to get 4050MHz @ 1.5v stable in IntelBurnTest and everything else.

I'm a little scared that you're running this on a board that only has a 4+1 phase CPU VRM using D2PAK MOSFETs that aren't under a heatsink, along with a stock AMD cooler. What are your temperatures looking like under load, and what stability testing programs have you run besides memory benchmarks?

eidairaman1 · Dec 31, 2012, 06:17 AM

Factory cooler starts making noise when room temp hits 80 degrees and that's with cnq on. overclocking cnq just causes more issues just like the factory windows power profiles

itsakjt · Dec 31, 2012, 01:43 PM

@Jstn7477-Yeah I know. But it seems fine. And I have tried 50 runs of Intel Burn Test and 8 hrs of prime95 in the Large FFT mode(max heat and CPU stress). And found it stable.

Play a game now. My 3820 will be stable on OCCT (Linpack), IntelBurnTest, P95 and crunching, but occasionally if it really isn't stable, SC2 will crash when a map starts to load. Granted a little extra voltage always fixes the issue, but play around with it.

small FFT or bled is usually more accurate
