overclocking amd 6400+ black

[department76]

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!

you're certainly cheery

cheers to 6400+ BE @ 3.5 !!!!!!

All i can say is.... I NEED TO H2o this dang cpu... unless ASUS pulls there head outa there azz and comes up with a proper Bios that acctually works and lets ya o/c compared to my ol asus m2r32-mvp mobo... all the fancy solid state caps and 8+2 power phase design don't do sh!t without a proper Bios!!!
Oh well it is designed for the Phenom so i better see if Tiger Direct does overnight delivery..
Cheers y'all

blah but thank you... im getting a little pissy here trying to get this rig stable at 3.82Ghz
Just isn't going to happen with this cooler and ram... dam i wish amd had a fsb : memory ratio to work with.

weird? setting to cpu volt over 1.5v the temps @64c and crashes
mabey my mobo isn't reading the temp proper...
@3.82 and 1.55v crashes
@1.425 44c
@255x15= 3825GHz
255x800 gives 1020 for a ht link speed
is this cpu running to hot and causing it to crash?
255x15+1020ht =42-44c and stable for over an hour
can someone tell me what's going on?
i think i know but need other input to confirm
(TOOOO HOTT) ?

Dude I can't get my 6400 to stay stable at 3.5Ghz with any volt let alone 3.8Ghz lol and I have the same/or better Cooler than you. I'm telling you man, you got a 1 out of 5000 chip that OC's good. No execure for me either cause we have the same MB lol.

Hmmm for the temps you shouldn't be getting that high with 1.55 Volts. I would run mine 1.6 and it would never reach 64. Did you knock your cooler off or has it collected dust?

 

[fullinfusion]

its cleeeeen as a whistle.. My system has several air filters and as for 1.6? my mobo wont let me... 1.55 and thats all...
over that it wont boot... keeps saying cpu OVERVOLTAGE and thats with bios 0804..
hey try this and let me know hoew it works... 1.425v
core= 3.488
x16
bus 218
ht link 1090 = set it to 1ghz
should work sweet for ya bud
and as for my 3.8 she did the crash n burn after 1hr 12min
i need a new psu and a quad lol...
memory = 4.4.4.12.22 @2.10v
you have sweet tracer ram so id bump it to the recomened 2.30v at those specs
Hey do you have TVU Player?
google tvu player and download it...
sweet free tv program and im watching two and a half men...
hahha funnier then *uck
hey hows the gpu working?
ive up'd my score... how bout you?

 

[fullinfusion]

My bad Aphex sorry
Set your memory to 4.4.4.12.22@2.2volts
that dimm can run up to 1000+MHz at 5.5.5.18.22@2.2v
that could be ucking you up..
my corsair 800mhz ram is spec'd at 4.4.4.12.22@2.1v
im running it at 872Mhz @3.49cpu clock

Hey fullinfussion I have noticed how weird it is that 2 systems running the same hardware get different results. On a former post "Steve" has the same mobo as me but his voltage is much lower and he acheives different results he runs his at 1.47 volts 220 multi and 16x, at those settings on mine crashes every time. I am wondering if pci e voltage might play a part?? At this point I am a little obcesed with this thing. Any Idea's

 

[Solaris17]

3.3 barely stable

1.475 tried 1.5v still same resaults HT link is at 5x times 204 or so at 16x tried right for 3.4/3.5ghz and the system wont even post.

 

[fullinfusion]

i don't think the PCI express volt has any thing to do with o/c'n the cpu..
all the pci e does is communicate with the gpu.. i don't touch the pci volt as i really don't know much about it.. have you bumped up the Ht north bridge link volts at all? im running at 1.40v and if i drop it to 1.3 it doesn't remain stable

 

[fullinfusion]

lol solaris... baby steps... baby steps... just tack it up by 10mhz and run a stress test... after its stable then bump it up a tad more and stress again... after it crashes then try upping the voltages a bit to see if that makes it stable...
you also need to remember every mobo and cpu's react different

My m2r32-mvp ran the cpu at stock @1.45v
The m3a32-mvp at stock runs at 1.39v
I also found that with this board i cant run the cpu volts up as high as the r32 mobo and i can get a sweet stable clock on the a32 board running at lower voltages..
Another thing ppl misunderstand is when o/c'n and it crashes is i guess it needs more volts..
try and keep in mind that the HT link north bridge needs to be fed v's as well..

I left the PCI E alone, my NB is set a 1.40 I can get my rig up to 1.55 but she always crashes on any taxing application, i have tried upping voltage on cpu and ram, as you can see from my screen shots on page 18. I kind of topped of at 3.45 even then prime95 gets about 30 mins into the test at the most. Hmmm

 

[fullinfusion]

try and see what happens if you drop the cpu volt down to 1.42.. did you apply the thermal paste on proper? seems weird that at 3.3ghz and that much voltage that it's hardly stable..
try this for the heck of it
bus speed 218
multi x16
Ht link x5 (1000mhz)
cpu volt 1.425
ht norht bridge volt @ 1.40v
memory @ 2.1v @4.4.4.12.22 T2
but you know what your memory is spec out at hey..

 

[fullinfusion]

drop the cpu volt max.. try 1.4?.. your memory shouldnt need much volts sence your mem isn't being pushed hard at all at those settings

 

[fullinfusion]

Max believe it or not but 3.45 isnt bad at all..
i've read that the 6400 black is all ready o/c'd straight from the factory...
it's just a 6000 chip with the extra multiplier, thats all
maximum Pc ran a test on the 6400 and for them 3.44ghz was all they really could clock it at using air...

[Solaris17]

i know all about babay steps this isnt my first OC....but iv tried alot im at 3.280 and thats about stable...ill try running my ram with more voltage and ill set her at 5-5-5-15 my ram isnt performance just some ocz stuff...and my NB voltage is stock at 1.5v goes up in .1v incriments...vdrop isnt that severe maybe .05v

My DFI Ultra II M2 and 6400+ clock best on a 12X multi and 3x HT. Give that a shot. Mine had weird issues on the 16x multi for some reason.

My DFI Ultra II M2 and 6400+ clock best on a 12X multi and 3x HT. Give that a shot.

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

NEED MORE POWA!!! MORE VOLTZ!!! also.. use the damn M2N32-SLI moron -.-!!!

also get back to ur computer!!!!

 

[fullinfusion]

Solaris is having a real hard time just getting 5% of an o/c...
Was thinking... have you checked for any bios updates?
I know my new mobo didn't clock well with the shipped bios version.. I upgraded and haven't had any problems since..
Just throwing one out there to consider

 

[fullinfusion]

What bios you running SIR?
cant see how your upping the cpu so high as im running the same board and probably the same bios.. anything over 1.56 and all i get is CPU OVER VOLTAGE warning and she automatically rolls back to factory defaults in the bios once i get into it...
Weird..

 

[fullinfusion]

Bank cycle time (trc) can someone explain to me if there is any benefits to setting it from 22 to 18?
4.4.4.12.18 T2 @2.1volt

 

[fullinfusion]

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

Weird..

Now i'm using the 1002 BIOS as soon as was published on Asus Support Downloads ... though i don't like it too much (0801 was more stable) ... this version includes the ECC settings lane which is really useful for arranging ram issues, anyway, i noticed the Overvoltage error you're telling me it's an issue since 0902 version ... if you set the CPU Voltage to 1.5625 it will end on Overvoltage error (don't know why but it happens) cause the BIOS sets the voltage automatically to 1.66V ... but if you use the next 1.5750 all is fine again, same thing on 1.5875 as well as 1.6, these last three should work, just skip the "1.5625"

Try and tell us!
