Kakarot Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Is it worth my money and time to get a XP-90/120? I keep spending money but I think the chip is just maxed out! thx Also, if prime fails at my higher clocks BUT windows, aqua mark, 3 dmarks, games all perform faster/better/stable. Should I still listened to it, and downclock? Thx all Hi all, I did angry's prime 95 setup and so it is now running dual core. I had to keep lowering my overclock to get it stable, but last night 1 instance failed but the other is still running strong?! Does this mean I have to lower it even more. Thx in advance Running 2x260 LDT 4x dram 1:01 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMD Fanatic Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 If prime is failing then data corruption is possible. Try raising your voltages some and see if it stabalizes.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanzoRazor Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 I have found that, generally speaking, P95 failing in 2 minutes means a lot more voltage is required. like x.1x or more. Also, I though Fx-60's didn't require the use of a divider since they are multiplier unlocked? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kakarot Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Thx guys. I am trying anything and everything to get my max OC Stable at 2.9 with 1:01 2.94 with divider But I dont really know what I am doing anyway Just playing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

solgae1784 Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 OCCT is useless for fx-60 since it's dual core, and OCCT can't utilize dual core effectively. The only tests that is proven to work with dual core AFAIK are dual SuperPI 32M, dual Prime95, dual Folding@Home, or any stressing program that allows you to run 2 instances, one on each core (like 2 instances of CPU burn-in) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanzoRazor Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Sp2004 is a little bit nicer than P95 since you don't have to create shortcuts. I think it's the best CPU test program and memtest for windows is the best for memory. he is using the divider for his mem.... I guess I don't fully understand how the FX -60 works in that case. It thought he could raise the multi to where his ram didn't need to be on a divider. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kakarot Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 up for new info.... well I dont like prime not letting overclock as high as I want to! lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burky Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 Why don't you like Prime? That's not what's stopping your overclock, it's just telling you that your overclock isn't stable. Don't shoot the messenger. I don't like SP2004 as for my dual Prime I have to set the quantity of ram used or else one core hogs it, and primes away happily while the other core since having no memory just idles away and achieves nothing. It's the most effective program for stress testing a dual-core cpu for a long period of time, and if it fails, you can't just whistle and look away from it; you have a stability problem. You need to sort it out sooner or later, else you will get crashes and data loss, which sucks. If you can run Prime for half an hour, then you're pretty stable if you don't have time to let it run 8 hours or so, though I have had Prime crap out after 5 hours which just shows...
