AMD FX OC'ers Club

I think I blew a vid card this morning!! Have to check a bit more but when it's in the VGA led lights up.

 

[d1nky]

wow you aint having much luck, apart from those lucky cinebench scores

tonight if im in, ill get mine to uber speed and try but I doubt I can hit those scores tbh!

 

[Durvelle27]

I'll see if I could get a higher score in CineBench

Rig is up´n running, damn bios is more complex than the Formula was .....

 

[Johan45]

Just wanted to post up some shots of the FX-6350 in action. This is a really nice chip especially compared to my 8350!!






What's going on D1nky I see you're not leading Durvelle's challenge??

 

[d1nky]

Ive seen it but haven't benched yet, my new fittings should be here tomorrow and I get to lap my heatsink.

I got mx2, bad seat and a kink in my loop so temps aren't nice.

I found an old bench at 5377mhz so posted that lol

 

[Johan45]

Can't see why not. I was gonna throw my 9.44 up there but it's 30MHz over. But you guys have at it. Is it open to Intel too or just AMD? The only limitation I saw was 5400MHz
I picked up some Phobya HeGrease extreme and I like it. Just used it for second time when I swapped the chips this morning. Good easy clean up and seems to work quite well.

 

[d1nky]

I looked at gelid gc extreme, it came top on a couple reviews.

theres also EK indigo extreme, which is No1 but needs 90*c to melt in. (and £20 for two uses)

I ran out of pk3 which was my favourite. and anyone that sees durvelles challenge with an intel chip will literally rape it lol

Its limited to the FX 4 series and A10 series

 

[Johan45]

So I guess my 6350 is out then,

Yep.

 

[Durvelle27]

Challenge taken down after i noticed d1nky used a FX 8350

 

[d1nky]

it wasn't cpu specific?

Hardware limitations: a processor running at 5400MHz or less

 

[Johan45]

That's why I asked about Intel??

 

[d1nky]

hes put another for piledriver 4.9ghz and 7970! 3d11


I wish you could of included a 7950

 

[Johan45]

that leaves me out too. The closest I have is a 6850 and it's in another machine.

I could if you want. I could edit it and i thought it was specific :shadedshu

 

[d1nky]

I cant bench at the moment so theres little point.

the best 3d11 I have is 11702, and over 4.9ghz

11974 for me 4.8GHz

Well I had me a serious scare today. I had been having some glitches here and there and figured I had screwed my 7 installation with a failed chipset install. So I decided to re-install win7 again this am. Things went well until my chipset insall failed again then had issues starting had to reset bios etc.. got it going and reverted to the Microsoft Sata driver since I thought maybe that was what set it off. Then the same issues with the restart. Did a direct key flash on the Bios thinking maybe it was corrupted and almost but still no go. So I pulled the CPU , maybe I broke it already ??? That's when I noticed the water!!!! I didn't have the underside of the block insulated well enough and water seeped in between the CPU and socket. I could see the marks on the bottom of the CPU it even had a couple or three pins that looked a bit black.
Long story short with the help of a hairdryer a nail file and a needle I have managed to resurrect the board and while I let it dry out I tried the 6350 in the M5A99FX pro R 2.0 with a CM V-8 cooler. I had to know if it was doinked and couldn't wait.
It started right up and that made me feel a bit better .
So beware of condensation!!

that´s why i use real NON Conductive Liquid !

PrimoChill Ice - Non Conductivity Test - YouTube

stains like hell but keeps ya system secure

It wasn't a leak tho it was the result of condensation from the bottom of my block. And it seeped in between the CPU and socket.

 

[d1nky]

man that sucks! now I know a bit more about your loop

glad it wasn't catastrophic!

 

[Johan45]

Ya me to this is all new for me and didn't expect that to happen. I have the rest of it insulated now I have some soft styrofoam under my block and around the socket should keep the air away from it. It's been very humid here lately and didn't work out well for me!!
EDIT: I figured you'd catch on to me sooner or later D1nky

I have to believe it was a leak as non of us had that problem and I've been running my loop for about a 1 1/2 months now.
