3 of you using Max FFT= 32 ?

I can pass the prime no problems, but with folding i got lots of errors meaning its not stable. So do u think its a good test ?

Using Max FFT = 512k i do get errors at the same setting. I will try stressing the proc with Gromacs and see how.
*
So far, I orthos using the default setting (Small FFTs - stress CPU).

Not too sure about the recommended setting as I never used it before (i.e. min FFT 8k, max FFT 512k, check run FFT in-place and time to run each FFT size - 1min). However, I see it is recommended by some......

i got a MSI nF4 mobo wif 4GB Corsair VS RAM and AMD X2 3800+... wif GeCube Radeon X550... when play NFSMW the car go 2 fast and a bit jumpy... y is it like tat...? if i decrease the graphic quality the car will "fly"... when play LAN always got mismatch and got kicked... shakehead.gif  is this y AMD is losing out...?

Eh? You mean the timing is faster than normal or are you having speedups and slow-down on the gameplay? What is the meaning of too fast then a bit jumpy?

Eh? How do you lower your core temp so much? I thought you're core temp was >60'c ????? rclxub.gif

What is the cfm of you fan again?

WOW! You removed the IHS!!! Now that's what I call an extreme overclocker!!! thumbup.gif

AFAIK, it is not that easy to remove the IHS. You run the risk of damaging the proc, right?

Anyway, I'm stuck at 2.74 Ghz at 1.40v. My core0 always fails.... sad.gif

BTW, how high can we go on the vcore? Any tips?

Edit : Since you're into OC, why not go WATERCOOLING??? drool.gif

2.6GHz needs 1.325V, but it run awfully hot, dats y i rather run it @ 2.4GHz w 1.184v. smile.gif

Curious to know how hot is awfully hot? Are you using stock HSF? 1.325v is stock Vcore for your 3800+ x2, right?

he is using freezer64, which he told me that is more cooler than xp120. btw, 1.35v is the default vcore for x2 3800+.  smile.gif

That's why I'm asking how hot is hot? If he's running 2.6 Ghz at 1.325v, then it shouldn't be THAT hot!??!! Unless 50'c is considered hot...... sweat.gif

kmarc, did u tried stressing the proc with 512k max fft ?

Yup. Can't get above 2.74 Ghz at 1.40v.

I was running the SMP client at 2.72 Ghz at 1.40v (because I didn't switch on my rig 24/7) just to finish it and luckily there was no error..... sweat.gif

My oc test yesterday. Couldnt get cpu-z to run properly in safe mode so some of the features were disabled(coz my windows had some prob.....cant load in normal mode tongue.gif ). Core voltage was at 1.49V for this clockspeed.

Will do a proper oc when I get my windows sorted out icon_idea.gif I'm using a 4400+ stock cooler atm(the 1 with copper heatpipes). I probably need to feed this beast more volts to get higher. 2.75ghz booted and entered windows but quickly crashed. Can I pump the voltages any higher safely just to find out my absolute maximum clockspeed? Mind you I'm not gonna stress test the proc or anything.
*
Eh? Sure you're not going to stress your CPU arrr? Cause for me, going above 1.40v is already stressing the CPU heavily!!! sweat.gif

Are you orthosing to make sure it is stable at that speed? And to go so high, I don't think your stock cooler can take it. What is your core temp?

@uzairi - yup, cpu difference about 5-6'c

@mfa333 - never heard of it, why don't you check you mobo's manual.

1.40 is just 0.05v more than the original vcore, it still consider acceptable. it's always recommend not to raise the vcore over 10% from original value. the stock hsf he used is not the normal one, only available on X2 4400+ and above or dual core opteron, it looks cool and better than xp90.  smile.gif
*
But at 1.49v??!!?? I think even good air HSF will have trouble keeping the temp at an acceptable level?

Yeah, i wonder where they are too.. unsure.gif

My voltage supplied to the chipset fluctuates from 1.55 to 1.6v, how about u guys ? Do you think that might cause stablility issues ?

What software are you using to monitor your chipset voltage? Will try to check mine....

Frankly speaking, I never monitor mine!!!

Where in the world is the chipset voltage??? I can't seem to find it in speedfan.

Hehe, because I never knew have to monitor chipset temperature and voltages too!!! wink.gif

Really envious of you proc man. Nice proc you have there.... thumbup.gif

What is the secret? Burn the CPU at high voltage first then down-volt? hmm.gif

Stress the cpu 100% for some time then u can lower the voltage.  brows.gif
*
So let's say my core is stable at 2740 Ghz @ 1.40v. Should I just stress it at that level or go higher, like 1.45v?

Another thing, I tried to downvolt my proc at stock 2.2 Ghz and it went all the way down to 1.129v!!! Immediately failed if I put it at 1.10v. Now orthosing at 2.2 Ghz @ 1.129v!!! rclxub.gif rclxub.gif

Is this advisable or it is even recommended???!!?? hmm.gif Will post this question in the hardware Q&A section.....

Run ur proc at that speed and voltage for like 1 month, and then lower the voltage to 1.375v and try again. To lower the vcore u need to do a very long burn ins..

Ok. Thx. thumbup.gif
