so got some parts ordered to replace my fried 2500k
so I hauled out my old Gigabyte AM2+ board with its Althlon II 250 and decided to see how much abuse it will take


keep in mind that that ram has ~4 years on it and it cost me 23.32 when I bought it :D
proc seems to have hit a wall at 3.4Ghz attempting to work around it but I think its the board holding it back we will see when my new AM3+ board gets here
w00t
Think I got 3.5@1.47v LOl
fking amd

nope hits teh wall at 3480Mhz even at 1.52v

pretty sure its the vrm's getting to hot causing mad vdroop(lol 3.1 phase)
impressed with the ram tho it was 23 dollar ddr2 800 and its running at 1000@7-6-6-18 @ 1.85v

its got no moar to give -.-
shitty sub 50 dollor gagabyte board .... I think
still 250 base clock on a 760G board is pretty decent lol
inb4firesplosion
I can boot at 3.7@1.44v but it insta crashes under prime -.- its gotta be the board throwing voltage at it doesn't help

SB voltage: 1.3
NB voltage: 1.250
CPU-NB-VID: 1.1150
vcore:1.375v
vdim 1.90v
clock:252X13.5(this board does not like high multis)

It's always the board that's holding you back. I made an athlon 245 athlon work at 4ghz(ish) on a GA-MA69G-S3H with cheap ram closing to 1100mhz at 5 5 5 18 timings. being an am3 cpu on an am2 motherboard, I couldn't even touch the voltage via bios; had to install easytune or whatever to increase vcore. The thing wasn't all that stable but I was able to run a few benchmark runs in games, 7zip etc. Huge fun these chips :)

Click to expand...

Lower your ram divider and increase the CPU-NB-VID one step up.

I had that gigabyte 760G board that easily unlocked my PII X2 555 BE to X4 and clocked to 4 Ghz and highest stable HTT I saw was using a single core sempron around 285.

Just stick a fan on the VRM.

Set the CPU multi and ram multi to the lowest and find the max HTT that board can push.
