How's my overclock???

TheCrow · Dec 14, 2008

Well i used to have the same setup as on the left but with an asus M2N-SLI. But i couldn't get the thing to budge past 2.7ghz stable.

By chance i was browsing the bay and spotted this Abit Fatal1ty AN9-32X and thought i'd bid a cheeky tenner on it. By luck i won it for £6!!!!

So its all installed and running well and i managed a bit more of an overclock.

It is rock solid stable but i just want to make sure i'm not running too much voltage through her, currently i have it set to 1.5v, the temp idles at 40-44 and at full load she reached 49-52.

What do you think? I've not posted and benches or anything as im waiting for the postman to deliver me a 9800GT!

I'd say that's pretty damn good, be even better once you get that new video card in.

Should give you hours of happy gaming.

omg, even I never push past 1.45V with my X2. At 1.40V I can get 3Ghz and 1.5V (short bench run, I got 3,189Mhz. Done on an A64 X2 3800+ Toledo. Keep an eye on voltage, its a very touchy thing even though AMD 90nm'rs can take a beating in that department.

you got that board for a tenner ? is that am2 ? :eek:

how ?????

Pix · Dec 14, 2008

He's okay up to 1.5v with these chips, like you said, they can take a beating.

TheCrow · Dec 14, 2008

Thanks for the advice, i thought i might be giving her a bit too much.

I'll lower it a bit and see if she stays stable!

I think right time right place.

I saw it on ebay and thought sod it i'll bid a tenner, didn't really need a new board in all honestly.

Got home to find i won it for six quid. Boxed with all the accessories as well!
To say i was chuffed would be an understatement!

None the less, I think I know what your issue was on your old board... some ICS clock chips are crappy and won't budge past 270-275Mhz on the FSB. Some are just set to throttle back at a certain temp, mine hits its temp threshold at 276.0Mhz. The A8V-XE downstairs is what I used for my OC run. I got a gem board, perfect except for the lack of fan connectors. Try adding a small VRAM heatsink to the ICS clockchip and see if it improves OC. Mine, if I take the airfunnel off of it, throttles back to 241Mhz. With the airflow it keeps pretty consistant.

Look again.. CPU-Z is saying 1.580v.. so he has to have it @ 1.6v or more in order for cpu-z to read 1.580v after vdroop...hrmm

TheCrow · Dec 14, 2008

In the bios i have the vcore set to 1.5 but for some reason cpuz reads it as higher so im not sure whats going on?

Temps seem ok and i have a huuge zamlan cooler on so i'll keep and eye on it just to make sure!

chuck216 · Dec 15, 2008

Not bad for the 5200 Windsor, though you could probably push it a bit further, I've had my 5600+ Brisbane up to 3335 Mhz on the stock cheap aluminum HSF.

J-Man · Dec 15, 2008

Absolutely rubbish for a AMD chip :nutkick:

dont beat the guy down just because he is trying to overclock, beyond that for the 5200 Windsor that is Respectable and overall quicker than Brisbane.

TheCrow · Dec 15, 2008

I can tell he is messing about eidairman.

What the intel buys need to think about is the cost of there systems compared to my one and also other amd systems!

A £6 motherboard, £50 chip and £20 memory cracking 3ghz aint bad!

Asylum · Dec 15, 2008

Yea thats a good overclock...I would try to back those volts back abit and see if i could get it stable though!!

TheCrow · Dec 15, 2008

I've got the vcore set to 4.250 in the bios and its stable. CPU-Z still reads it as 1.5 volts. Its odd!

JrRacinFan · Dec 15, 2008

Good job! See if you can pull your ram timings down to CL4. Would make a world of difference for your clocks.

PS: Ignore J-man...

I might try and put my X2 back into the A8V-XE and try for 3.3-3.5Ghz... but idk. Don't really need that much power. :ohwell:

Considering it can do 3.2Ghz with under 1.5V.... hmm. Might do it over the weekend. ;-)

TheCrow · Dec 15, 2008

When you consider what the records are were not that far off!

J-Man · Dec 15, 2008

Hey! I was kidding! :laugh:

I don't know much about AMD chips but all I know is that they don't overclock GREATLY. 3GHz is good though :toast:

If you had my chip, 3.6GHz easy. I haven't tried pushing mine further yet :rockout:

TheCrow · Dec 15, 2008

What you waiting for! Keep pushing!

I want to see 4ghz before the days out lol!

I know you were.

@theCrow
But yes it is a darn good clock for that chip!
