overclocking amd 6400+ black

[fullinfusion]

Yeah Aphex try it... my 3870x2 runs great.. what can ya loose?

 

[Solaris17]

dude full what vista proc score you getting with that clock?

 

[AphexDreamer]

OK, at school. Right when I get home, I'll flash it to 836/1006. If my beanch Marks increase that would be wierd, but looking forward to it.

5.8 vista and 2600ish mark06

 

[AphexDreamer]

Man, I tried the Clocks you were talking about, didn't help much at all. Same score around th 13000, never goes up no matter what.

 

[fullinfusion]

what do you have your cpu running at?
for me at 3.50 lags running mark06 compared to 3.53...
at 3.53 the fps run alot more solid..
Ah just do what im doing... lol
Buy the 9850 quad and voila!
Been reading alot and until you upgrade to the quad the mobo wont run the ht3 speed and thats the difference between night and day....
Dam i want my new chip!!!

 

[fullinfusion]

one other thing Aphex... running mark06
the cpu test is what yields the bigger overall score...
you can have the fastest gpu but the main scoring where you get the best overall is the cpu test...
try running it at stock cpu speed with your gpu o/c'd then again with the cpu o/c'd to whatever your running at...

 

[ZenZimZaliben]

fullinfusion - look at your rig!! Come a long way. Full out OC'er now, huh.

 

[steve710]

id try to raise the ht link up closer to 1000.. and also the cpu core volt to 1.5 at least
every machine is different and some like higher settings and some like more relaxed.. just trial and error my friend

i'm not sure if you're talking to me here but where do i find how fast the ht link is I don't see it


btw if you missed it pics on page 17 of bios are posted.

and i'll try raising it above 1.46 and i'll let you know if i have any luck but please get back to me about the ht link and if i should have the
NB to SB volts and others along the lines of that on a certain voltage.

oh btw I did change plug and play to yes like you suggested earlier and it seems like it runs a bit better.

 

[fullinfusion]

your ht link speed... your prob on auto... take it off auto and try setting it to x4 or 800mhz
then use your cpuid and see what it's running at...
easy way to figure it out is take your fsb and mulitply it by 1000... 800...600 and that will tell ya where she be running at before you boot up..
eg.. 200fsb x 800= 1600.. then divide 1600 and that gives ya 800mhz ht link speed

 

[fullinfusion]

Hey thanks Zim, i've done a lot to upgrade this system and yes all i can say is im trying lol
But then again your a great teacher and i owe ya for all the guidance
Thank you.
just waiting to get the 9850 black quad then the real fun happens lol

ok i'm a bit confused here it is set at 4X but when i open cpuz it still says the HT Link is 236Mhz

should i be changing the setting that says NB to SB HT Frequency and if so do I just leave the
CPU<--->MCP55 HT Speed at 5x or 4x?

UPDATE: ok i left the Ht speed at 5x and changed the NB to SB HT Frequency to 220 just to test but it still shows up as 236Mhz in CPU-Z
am I in a totally wrong place in the bios or am i looking at the wrong place in the cpu-z

 

[fullinfusion]

the bios should say HT north bridge link speed..
otherwise i have know idea.. haven't seen a bios that looks like that..
Ask ZenZim mabey he can help ya
sorry dude

 

[steve710]

yea seems like changing it in my bios doesn't do anything. i managed to set my HT Link by using Nvidia's ntune software. now it's showing up correctly ^__^

Yeah I know. I was just looking on ebay for a Phenom 9600, but reading some thread its really based not on how many cores you have, but by how much your CPU is clocked. Someone with a quad core from Intel has the same score as me, but its only at 3ghz. So even if I were to get the Phenom clock at 2.3GHz and OC it to like 3ghz(If I can) I would probably obtain the same GPU Performnace. So I didn't bother buying it.

Tell me how your Phenom 9850 goes, keep us updated. Maybe if I save up a few buck more, I'll buy that. Hope it OC well.

Just lookin around ebay, lets just say I might get a Phenom 9850 or 9750 sooner then I thought.

Wow fullinfusion Your Rig has come along

Glad to see the thread is alive and strong. I have gotten my rig 24\7 at 3.45 now I am maxing out my new card. Its a Palit 8800gt super +1g so far I am getting 11925 on 3dmark06. When I get home tonight I will post some screen shots so you can hopefully give me a few hints to help out.

cool i think we have the same bios maybe? since we have about the same mobo

Marks

Hey Steve no prob I will capture pics on my next post.

 

[steve710]

Hmm why does it seem like everyone's core volt is quite a bit higher then what I have it at. Am I setting it too low cus it's running stable playing Crysis/Counterstrike Source/Bioshock for hours and I haven't shut it off for days.

I'll download 3dmark06 and see what score I can get.

my 6400+ BE is stable at 3.5ghz (233*15), with 1.47V vcore. and that's lower than a lot i've seen... i saw one guy with water and his vcore in the high 1.5 range, and he couldnt run 3.5ghz stable. you must ahve gotten a good chip

 

[Solaris17]

can this be like a compare all your 6400 black editions thread? cause im gettin one friday and would love to chat with you guys.

 

[steve710]

lol yeah! I love this thread going to keep it going for as long as I'm alive

by the way Maxamp00
what resolution/settings are you running 3dmark06 at?

 

[Maxamp00]

Voltage

Steve as far as voltage I don't run it that high. At first I had it similar to your setting, in a earlier post on this thread I changed it to 1.520, ever since cpu-z reads it alot higher than it really is? I am not sure why, but in my Bios it is set to run at 1.50 now and is stable there. Here are the Bios Pics.

I run 3dmark06 at 1280x1024

 

[fullinfusion]

Gee and to think that last December i knew crap and just asked how to o/c and a great man named Zim popped in and guided me to where i am now... I only hope this thread keeps goin..n..goin..n..goin lol... kinda like the AMD bunny lol...
to all and lets share what we all accomplish..
Cheers!
