You wonder what frequency your A64 can reach at a certain Vcore?

Well, I did, and tried to find a way to calculate it instead of doing the time consuming cycle of SuperPi/Prime95 after every voltage change over again. I will show you how to calculate and then afterwards why this calculation holds (roughly). edit-> PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY, it is not trivial!...........................

after calculating, i need 1.84v to hit 2.9Ghz sweat.gif

Freq = y + (Vcore - x) * z

Freq = potential clockspeed
Vcore = Vcore at potential clockspeed

y = your current highest stable speed achieved
x = voltage at highest stable speed achieved

z = 870 for Toledo (also dc-Opteron)
z = 860 for Manchester
z = 620(?) for SanDiego (also sc-Opteron)
z = 310(?) for Venice
z = 860 for Winchester

Using linear regression techniques. I have learned about this but never thought of using it to formulate overclocking potential.

how do i use this formula? assuming i got dc-opty 175

using this formula 'Freq = y + (Vcore - x) * z'

my opty can hit 2500mhz at stock voltage 1.4v, 250x10

so,

Freq = 2500 + (Vcore - 1.4) * 870

wher do i get the value for Vcore-Vcore at potential clockspeed???

Vcore is the voltage you assume you would use to run at higher speed

LEt say you dare to push with 1.55V.... use Vcore=1.55

for my 3200+ venice, it's running 2.8G @ 1.52v.

so, i do calculate as below.

2900 = 2800 + (Vcore - 1.52) * 310

to get 2.9 stable, vcore = 1.8425, which is near to 1.84v- 1.85v

but so far havent test yet since 1.84v is quite high for the venice sweat.gif

is this calculation really correct??
mine....try to archieve 2.7Ghz by this calculation
2700 = 2556+(Vcore-1.4)*870
hence, i need to set my Vcore 1.56v but my mobo only can set 1.5v max huh.gif

I don't think this formula is accurate!
Some mobo espcially well known DFI boards comes with extra Vcore.

how about a program called 'A64MaxTemp' ??

my max tcase is at 55'C.
my max overclock is at 2.79ghz.
stock voltage yields 2.52 ghz prime stable, for everyday usage.

i tot it wuz rather accurate?

interesting, would help to show estimates on how far you can push.. but still it's better clocking slowly since those are just references, and as much as there are gems in each steppings, there are also garbages that cant clock high.. smile.gif

plus differences in systems, mobos, rams, gfx and psu would also change the overclocking effect.
