overclocking amd 6400+ black

[fullinfusion]

Hey thanks for that SIR... i ran the 1002 ver and hated it.. heck some times it wouldn't even o/c 5% lol... im using the 0802 and have great luck with it.

Aphex have you tried the Tweak Force 8.4 driver for your gpu?
I'm running it and Wow.... SWEET DRIVER!!!!

Hey never heard of it, taking a look at it now.

Also I have managed to get my CPU stable at 3540 again!!! @ 1.250. Its an acomplishment for me.

 

[fullinfusion]

Hey thats GREAT Aphex... Happy for you bud!! the 1.26v ?
that your cpu volt? Kinda makin me guess haha..
Let me know how the drivers work... im sticking with them from now on..

IDK, they seem the same so far. How are they diffrent for you?

gaming is rock solid!!! running the 3d app in ATI tool gives better average.. 980 and now 1022.
mark06 gives me about 5-7 fps better..
but the games i really notice a difference in.. certain maps in multi player Gears of war are kinda laggy but this other driver seems to boot the ol ladie to the curb...
I know the maps that lag do the same on my 360 as well but the ccc does improve it some what..

 

[fullinfusion]

Sorry dont get the ccc 8.4 it sucks like the Ati 8.4
8.3 is the one i ment to say im using...
Really sorry about that...
Some strange reason the 8.4 has been stuck in my head

w0ot

gonna try 3.5Ghz this is awsome by far the COOLEST proc i have ever played with

 

[fullinfusion]

About bloody time my friend!!!! GOOD FOR YOU!!!!! IM VERY HAPPY FOR YA!!!
Lol it's a great processor and to the life of me couldnt figure out why you had so many issues o/c'n than dang thing...
Try for 4Ghz as i did last night but beware of corrupting your Bios
I was in the middle of print page and it did a freekin HUGE CRASH AND BURN!!!!!\
H20 is my next buy

 

[Solaris17]

im going to try this will be awsome i love this stuff

hi new to the site, awesome thread u guys got going jhere, i tried using amd overdrive, but im locked out of 80% of the oc function, and i got it on advanced mode

If anything it might be a little easier on your processer to run 15x Multi, 230fsb, 1.50 v I find that 1.50volts to the core make it happier for my rig. Right now I have it at 1.47 clocked at 3.45.

 

[Solaris17]

what is your NB/SB voltage? i have the same board as you

 

[SirKeldon]

Solaris did you try the "Overdrive trick" i told you??

 

[Solaris17]

With my ASUS too, the 12x as well as the 13x multi had been the more succesful ones in stable configurations, though my HTT link liked 4x most of times (1100-1200Mhz works pretty well for me and faster than any 3x value, even with 325 of FSB, i also reached levels of 1300 but i think it's simply too high and not that stable)

Solaris17 i'll do one simple thing, aim the principal voltages on the BIOS to an almost desired level and set the FSB at 200 and multi at 16x ... then let Autoclock from AMD Overdrive to do the job, for me worked 100% reaching the top speeds that my CPU can run ... after that i just needed some more tweakings since i was not using the 16x multi. I tell you, with 1,47V@CPU, 1.40V@HT Voltage, 1.16V@NB and 2.20V@RAM (4-4-4-12-15-2T) ... autoclock took me to 3580Mhz ... with 1,58V@CPU, 1.50V@HT Voltage, 1.22@NB and 2.30V@RAM ... overdrive also stopped at 3580, and it's 100% real, my CPU won't run stable at 3,6 and it's pretty hard at 3,58 too ... but 3,56-3,57 is full stable at 1.49-1.50V

Hope to be helpful

Try it if you're desperating so much

so what should i put cpu core at in bios? i set it at 1.525 and than i boot and i go back into the bios and its set at 1.525 but in the HW monitor it reads 1.55v.....sounds like the diff is pretty extreme..

 

[SirKeldon]

Damn, i have to confess i've been lucky on voltage readings, CPU-Z, HW Monitor and Everest always reported me the voltages i was setting on the BIOS, i had some issues with the voltages though, when i set a "in between" voltage as 1.50 the BIOS will start at 1.488V and will achieve 1.5 just when needed, same thing in 1.5125 ... sometimes 1.50, sometimes 1.52 ... but on some voltages as 1.4750 or 1.5250 it maintains stable all the way, same voltage permanently.

Talking about speed, i've always started with low low voltages (on 1.22V my CPU was stable at stock settings) and i've been able to boot and play for hours at CSS @ 3,57 with just 1.44V ... but when hard multitasking system crashed ... and i figured out my stable voltage after many stability tests, it was 1.52V as can be seen here

If your BIOS is adding 0.250V to the voltage i'll place the following settings:

- CPU Voltage: 1.5V (considering the issue)
- HT Voltage: 1.4V
- RAM Voltage: 2.2V (timings to 4-4-4-12-2T on a 667Mhz divider as i see your settings)
- CPU FSB: 215 (you achieved it so start with it)
- CPU Multi: 16x
- HT Multi: 5x
- Chipset voltage: Add 0.06-0.1 to default (i'm running 790FX at 1.16V, default is 1.10)

Then boot into Windows and start AMD Overdrive, go to Autoclock and simply click start as you keep an eye to the temps ... it will try to achieve the max clock of your CPU/memory doing internal stability tests to sure that clocking can be stable, that will give you a clear idea of how high your CPU can go with the voltage you're giving it, once done and passed some extra stability tests, i'll go further playing with the multi and the memory.



ps: Autoclock of AMD Overdrive never worked for me on a different multi than 16x, i just use it to see how high my CPU can clock.

I have the same issue thats why I put it at 1.47 in my bios, My nb-sb is at 1.40 I will verify when I get home.

 

[SirKeldon]

As far as i can see NB-SB Voltage it's my HT Voltage, right??

 

[Solaris17]

were do you adjust ram timings ib this board? got it used so i have no idea....im running bios 1903

i cant use amd over drive...when i click on auto clock it wont let me run it its all grayee out.

 

[AphexDreamer]

Well I have managed to reach 3555Mhz with 1.500 Volts using 237x15. Played Crysis for about 2 Hours everything fine, currently testing stabilty with Overdrive, been running it for a while while surfing the net seems fine.

 

[eyetac]

hey guys
been following this thread for a while.
been messing around with my cpu at home trying to get similar speeds to you guys.


the most stable i've been able to get it is 3360 with a 210 fsb and 16x multi..
ram running auto at 5-5-5-15-21

does increasing the HT and SB voltage make a difference, i dont wanna blow my board :/

i did get it running at 3405 quite stable, but 3dm06 ran even slower than stock speeds..

Specs:
6400+ BE
4GB Super Talent DDR2 800 OC Memory (dont have exact specs with me now)
MSI K9a2 Platinum
MSI HD3870X2

Thanks very much guys

well Monday my little Black buddy is showing up teeheehee... the little 9850 quad
Results of the o/c we be coming in later in the week..Dam Busy at work now...
Hey Sir the Calculation test you disable from what i see is a memory test...
I turn it off and the memory is kinda at idle... i turn it on and she runs rite up there..
And your HT north volt is just that... It's not north-south volt...
Hope that helps
And nice o/c Aphex!!!! SWEET!!!

 

[fullinfusion]

Hey Eye you should bring up the HT volt... PPL often confuse instability with the cpu.. You should always bring up the HT volt when o/c'n... I'm running mine at 1.40 volt with no problems at all.
