hi, my current setup is as follows:

AMD Athlon64 X2 3600+ AM2 Brisbane with stock cooler.
Biostar T-Force TA690G AM2 (bios is 06/05/07) lol just now i accidently typed 2008.
2GB Kingston Value RAM DDRII 667 (Dual Channel) both hynix HP-Y5
CoolerMaster eXtreme Power 430W


cpu-z with my systemps

im trying to overclock my cpu to 2.5-2.7 level from 1.9. Previously i was using the V12 setting on the Auto Overclock System giving me 240x9.5 = 2280 and it also increases my cpu voltage to 1.312.
now with my own manual overclock using stock cpu voltage (1.280 or something), erm...all the other ht, mem, nb voltage all default la (din play with any voltage). memory i changed to 533, the timings CAS and etc all i left default (auto) the npt fid (divider) i also left default.

basically i din change anything much except the bus (do u call it that for amd) and memory. i cant seem to get it over 245 and duno what the problem is. i dont think its the voltage as it doesnt do much after increase as well. i did manage to get it around 250 but not stable and sometimes didnt POST.

i think it should have something to do with the divider, ht frequency, etc right?

can anyone share some tips on how to get my system higher? (2.5 will do, coz i just wanna beat my friend with a x2 4000+, yea, im kiasu). if can, i dont wanna up the vcore higher than 1.35.

thanks a lot for reading (and helping out if u choose to)

ok. i see. here u go. thanks

indeed there is something wrong with the cpu-z reading. its /8 divider. here is the updated mem tab for cpu-z

the first stick of ram is bought quite long ago and the 2nd stick i got it recently, erm. 2 months ago maybe. both are fp-y5, just now i type wrong to hp-y5 instead.

now i try ur settings and get back to u. thanks a lot.

edit - forgot to attach ss

hi. i have changed the following as told

cl - 5
trcd -5
trp - 5
tras - 15
trc - 11
cr - 2t

Maximum Asynchronous Latency - 9ns

but for the trfc, there are trfc0, trfc1, tfc2, and trfc3. which one do i change to 195? all?



latest mem tab for cpu-z

btw, i didnt change the trfc to 195 ns and tried to boot with 247 bus but it wouldnt post. change back to 245 ok, can.

btw, dont i need to increase my memory voltage if i wanna oc? as of now, all my voltages are stock. thanks.

added, i thought it might help if i post my ram details here as well. btw, the ram is still set as 533

ok will try that now.

cant really remember and dun wanna go thru the trouble of taking of the hsf but if i remember correctly, i think its made in malaysia (not confirm). brisbane chips oc-ability got limit depending on china/msia batch? hope can do around 2.6 lo. thanks ya

i dropped the mem divider to 400 and the ht multi to 4x and rebooted. couldnt post, no beeb, press everything/anything also kenot.

so i reset the bios with the jumper. i think ill continue my quest anther day. today too tired and gotta balik kampung tomorrow, thanks a lot anyway dblooi.

=D

ok thanks for the tip, will try it after i get back.

here is what i have been up to so far

initially i tried 295x9.5 but my pc rebooted when running 3dmark06. so i settled for 285x9.5=2707.7 instead. didnt have to raise any voltage except for the nb voltage by just a bit. my settings are as follows.

do i need to be worried about my load temperatures now? my cpu is reaching 55degC on load but if thats the max, i dont really mind, coz most of the time i wont be using it on load anyway.

as mentioned earlier, my setup

AMD Athlon64 X2 3600+ AM2 Brisbane with stock cooler.
Biostar T-Force TA690G AM2 (bios is 06/05/07)
2GB Kingston Value RAM DDRII 667 (Dual Channel) both hynix FP-Y5
CoolerMaster eXtreme Power 430W



will let orthos run until tomorrow to stress the cpu now for some game time benchmarks =D

btw, thanks to everyone who helped me out. (ill be back if i find out my OC is not stable or maybe i wanna try hit 3.0GHz later when im free.

hmm. now im getting confused with the stock vcore. all along i thought it was 1.28 or 1.3v or somewhere around there while AMD's webby says is 1.25/1.35 (no idea what that means)
i just know i didnt change the voltage for the cpu but just the nb. anyway, can anyone help to confirm the stock vcore for this proc? could there be a problem with my vcore reading?

btw, i have been running orthos for around 8-9hrs now so i think it should be stable. it finished 3dmark06, superpi, and short gaming session of COD4 so i think its ok. any other way to stress the CPU more? thanks.

thanks. trying it out now. =D

overdrive doesnt work on 690G chipsets T_T

core temp is giving me a 1.3000v reading for VID which i assume is vcore right? compared to cpu-z which is giving me weird readings. erm...which one is more accurate?

im using the latest cpu-z. overdrive doesnt support non 7xx chipset boards like the 690G so i cant even run it, let alone post ss of the sys info.

i think the default vcore range from 1.25-1.3 of the brisbane depends on the motherboard used perhaps.

my vcore reading in everest ult. is same as the cpu-z reading too so i guess it should be correct.

so far been running orthos for 14 hours so i guess its safe to say that my OC is stable izzit?

hi guys, can i know what are the requirements to join the brisby 3600+ 3GHz club? how many hours of orthos or what other programs must i run stability to be considered a successful OC, despite not being stable enough for normal usage. got it to 3GHz now but failed orthos in 1+minute lolz.

Added on February 11, 2008, 12:53 ambtw, any tips for getting a stable OC around 3GHz?

This post has been edited by awh85: Feb 11 2008, 12:53 AM

ok, i show my cpu-z first



btw, if my pc reboot a few seconds after starting super pi 32m what does that indicate? i duno so i just keep trying pumping vcore or any other voltages i can find =.=''

erm, if i lower my HTT, it wont be enuff for 3GHz already haha. what other TRC timing would u suggest me using? 17? if can i dun wanna use other multiplier as well.

hey thanks a lot man, ill try it out now, just now was thinking of settling for 300x9.5=2850. will post results later, tomorrow maybe. thanks

still fail to get it 3.0GHz stable so i think ill try again when i have time. now im on 300x9.5 and so far i can tell its stable but then again, ill have to do more stress tests to confirm this. will post some results later when i get home. anyway thanks for ur help man.

btw, anyone else ever achieve 3GHz with value rams and stock cooler before this? was it stable enough for everyday use? or is it just good enough for "show"?

ok guys, here is my latest stable overclock. i suspect that i dont require so much voltage so i might be lowering it later on bit by bit. still a long way to 3.0GHz though.

my 3600+ can also get 2.7 with stock vcore too.

kalakatu selling his x2 3600+ brisbane in garage sales too. maybe u can have a look.

pls update my result too bro. my updated specs are on my siggie. =D

btw, my vcore i + 0.1v is that ok? anything less and its not sable. =.=''

but my 2.7 can get default vcore tho.

whats the average most ppl can get for my processor on stock voltage ah?
