Overclocked my FX-70s

Pete1burn · Feb 25, 2009

Went from 2.6Ghz to 3Ghz in about 30 seconds worth of work.

Here is CPU-Z before:

And here it is after:

My temps went way up from around 42 to 56 at idle. Is this something to be worried about? I'm not sure what the max temps are for the FX series.

Also, I ran another 1M digit Superpi and guess how much faster it went...

1/10 of a second. lol From 35.688 seconds before OC to 35.578 after.

Not sure if this is worth another 14 degrees of heat.

your volts are a high for that clock

Pete1burn · Feb 25, 2009

I set it to 1.35 in the bios. Looks to be doing that on its own.

Doesn't matter much. System locked up running 3DMark 06. Back to stock speeds now.

cdawall · Feb 25, 2009

its overheating cause 1.56v is to much for those coolers

Pete1burn · Feb 25, 2009

Ah well. I left the CPU over voltage at auto. I dunno what made it go up to what it was.

Oh well, back to 40c.

cdawall · Feb 25, 2009

leaving that on auto made it shoot up set them to 1.45-1.5v and try the same thing again

LittleLizard · Feb 25, 2009

holy f***, u have a amd quad fx platform. :eek:

i never seen one, can u take some pic for me

Pete1burn · Feb 25, 2009

lol sure, how's this?

cdawall · Feb 25, 2009

not enough cooling those coolers aren't exactly top in todays grouping

v12dock · Feb 25, 2009

Thats hot, Don't the coolers pull hot air off the video card...

Pete1burn · Feb 25, 2009

Not planning on having this set up much longer. Looking into the new Phenom X4 950 coming out soon.

Pete1burn · Feb 25, 2009

And holy shit I just looked it up and the max temp for my processors is 63c. No wonder it locked up in 3dmark...

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Feb 25, 2009

I know someone in high school that had one of these and he was trying to tell me how AMD was so much better over the C2D series. :laugh:

v12dock · Feb 25, 2009

Send it to me

Probably, but there's no other option with these coolers. There are only tabs for the coolers on the top and bottom of the sockets. If they had some on the left and right I could mount them sideways and point them right at the rear exhaust.

v12dock · Feb 25, 2009

So you couldnt flip them 180° and make the top fan an intake

Pete1burn · Feb 25, 2009

Pretty sure it would mess up the airflow that way.

Windsor chips are safe till 72° C.

I remember when the Fx's came out they were like $1000.00 at launch LOL.

LittleLizard · Feb 25, 2009

HOLY PC! Do want. i dont care if core 2 quad or phenom II is better. DO WANT QUAD FX ! :rockout:

So were Intel Emergency Edition, and the first P4 3.20 GHz with HT.

Quad FX @ 3.00 GHz is outperformed by a 2.2 GHz Phenom 9500.

Amen

PCpraiser100 · Feb 25, 2009

Yeah, people are feeling suspicious now about AMD's absence with dual-slot. It's just one of those hunches ya know?

Pete1burn · Feb 25, 2009

Cripes, maybe I should just sell the setup in this thread instead of the FS forum. haha

btarunr · Feb 25, 2009

It is known that the Athlon64 FX 74 achieves 3.00 GHz stock, at 1.472 V. It's the same as the overclock you just did, multiplier up by 2.00X. So I suggest you override the core voltage to 1.472 V and check for its stability. Here's FX-74 before CPU-Z learned how to detect it:
