i just use simple method. run memory benchmark from aida64
not the best software to test but still ok for simple task

here..


there are alot of rooms to improve later..

cpu queen? wow 3.4Ghz oredy score at almost 33k

memory benchmark?


and run benchmark

i hardly run benchies to know which is faster bro, i just prime most of d time. it's been a while since i last played with a thuban, now i only have a lousy x2 & an FX4 only.

Playing around with my proc again, heres my specs:-

Proc: X2 560BE unlocked to X4 currently @ 3.7ghz @ 1.46v
FSB: 200 x 18.5
CPU-NB: 200 x 12 = 2400mhz @ 1.35v

Memory: Gskill ripjawsX 8GB @ 1600mhz 8-8-8-22 (pass on memtest86+)

Mainboard: MSI 870-G45

PSU: Silverstone strider 560W

Using WC atm so I'm pushing the vcore with temps around 45C, but it seems a little too high at the speed for my liking. Prime small FFT test is ok but superpi always causes bluescreen within few mins. Seems like my IMC is weak . Lower CPU-NB speed helps a little. Anything else I'm overlooking that could be the reason? I really want to get my vcore lower & reach 4ghz at least

weak unlocked core(s) i guess bro, 1.46v for 3.7GHz is d prove. imc not too good too, 1.35v for 2400MHz is kinda high.

i believe there are still rooms for u to do some volt shaving, not by big margin thou.

@joe_star

the pwm looks like quite weak.so better dont push too much vcore..

Hmmm, i thought that too initially. But i get similar results when in dual core mode only. Btw seems like my proc VID is 1.4V, not really great start there. Regarding the IMC, basically i set it higher just incase (follow some other boards advice), doesnt seem to matter much, still get the same crashes.

Funny thing is it can handle 15-20 mins of prime(small fft or blend) without issues but instantly BSOD with superpi



I know not really planning to keep this setting for long, just benchmark. My actual aim is to run @ 3.6ghz with lowest possible voltages

Another noob question here: does the cpu multiplier have any relation to CPU-NB & HTT? E.g. i am OC-ing by raising multiplier now, will using high cpu multipliers cause any stability issues to the CPU-NB or HTT? AFAIK, it should not put any strain on that part of the system, & thats the benefit of an unlocked proc, correct?

just tried few minutes.. seems quite stable unlocked cores..



still need suggestions on the ram ler..
and need WC i guess...

mine oso 2400Mhz cpu/nb but only @ 1.25V
and i used same psu as yours

Nice ram timing there (i think ) Yah as i mentioned in the next post, i bumped it up to 1.35v just as a precaution, read around that it helps stabilize, although truth be told, I have not seen any benefits yet. Gonna set it back down as low as possible for my 24/7 setting.

FYI mine is silverstone strider V1, bought around 4 years ago. Still going strong

Just now push to 4ghz @ 1.55v, can boot into windows but scared to bench

yup mine oso 4 years ago. 2 days use, somethin wrong happend to the psu, send for RMA.
around 1 month later iirc, back from RMA and use until now
i don't think now still have ST56F...
some other psu i'va tested have ripple. this one has very solid graph

use cheap ram only, winova

wokeh la 2hours+..

nak tweak lain pulak..

^^
Ok la tu, usually i see 20 mins stable i move on to the next tweak

Anyone else here have experience overclocking unlocked dual core denebs?


Winova....i think i saw some forummer selling it in tradezone. Haih, i went for ripjaws instead, should have lurk here moar 1st

This post has been edited by joe_star: Mar 14 2012, 10:00 PM

err i think ripjaws is better la bro. that time, ripjaws still expensive thats why i find winova after read some review from ah_khoo

This post has been edited by lengchai86: Mar 14 2012, 10:11 PM

u need some ballistix love bro... sure no regret one, thou price wise it's slightly expensive if compared to gskill... or u can opt for winova 8gb kits, not bad too (if d chipset used are d same as d pair i've tested lah)

vcore kenot lower liao ah? kinda high for such clock bro.

not all, ripjaws x (lower end like 1333/1600) dont really clock well. if we are talkin bout good old ripjaws (non x) it's all diff story.

still testing ah khoo.. i only got time after works..
first need to test the standard ram.. now unlocking potential..
later on will optimize where ever possible..

nb also still not balance... any suggestions on the settings?

Is it just me or do unlocked procs have weak IMC-NB?

Btw whats the best stress test for AMD procs atm? Prime95+SuperPI32M still good enough?

ic bro... i know ur a bzman...

from experience, thuban should be able to run 4GHz w/ 1.45v or below, NB varies from 2700~3000MHz with 1.25v~1.325v. i'd consider these setup as safe for 24/7.

lemme know if u need decent oc ram w/o causin holes in ya wallet... (see siggy)...

weak imc doesn't explain d need for high vcore bro, there could be 2 possibilities to me, one is chip, another could be d board.

batch plays an important factor here imo, batch are good, some are mediocre. this was d average chip i managed to unlock before:

prime blend test still d best imo.

Abam, cuba kasi up CPU-NB abam..
