AMD FX-60 (CCB2E 0608EPDW) Overclocking Help

Grats! 2.9 is not a shabby number.. Did you lower the HTT multi like you said you were going to do?

[Guest Retratserif]

Show us all of your settings please, I would love to review them.

Why Small FFT?

[CharmedLover84]

Doesn't Small FFT = the most CPU intensive?

 

Also, hit 3GHz today stable enough to run benchmarks, turned it back down cuz while it was stable with the OCZ 1GB kit at 600MHz 2.5-4-4-10-1T, I popped my 2GB kit in and set it to 3-4-3-8-1T (like I always run them) and it was unstable.

 

So I'm back at 2.9GHz... and lemme see if I can remember my settings off the top of my head.

Think that's right.

 

Those settings give me ... ::finds all the screen captures::

That was all run with no rebooting, same exact settings as listed above, and the Prime95 for 1 hour was run after that, during which never saw above 43C.

 

Now if that ain't stable enough for cosure, I don't know what is

 

And yes I'm runnin' those exact settings right now as we speak, 24/7 lol well, whenever I'm not testing out higher OCs.

[CharmedLover84]

Well I've had no further luck hitting 3GHz stable, I got it semi stable but not... y'know, stable stable.

 

However I'm now runnin' 2.9GHz with my ram at 3-3-3-8-1T. It's risen my scores a weebit in benchmarks, kinda nice to see that decent of an improvement from upping the voltage on the RAM a bit and changing one number LOL

 

I'm now gettin' 15510 in 05, 9849 in 06 and 116399 in AM3. Not too shabby for everyday settings.

[Thraxz]

I still hate dual prime but have learned my lesson that no dual prime custom settings = BSoD. I'm still pissed off at my rig because it won't hit 3.0Ghz either.

 

I've got to 332x9=2989 MHz on 1.58Vcore now.... in my gut I KNOW that's way too much voltage for the speed but I'm just taking it out of the picture so I can prove it's my FSB limiting me. (I've got dual prime at about 40 minutes as we speak... if it goes past 7 hours I'll call it stable and shoot for 334x9... again I know it'll fail.) OOP, it just failed at 43 minutes... just like it does with 334x9. I'm going to put it at x8 and see what happens.

 

ANYHOW... I think you just need to give it 1.475 vcore to make it stable

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=510101 that is my MAXIMUM stable OC in 06, BUT it's not stable in all benchmarks so I never bothered priming it.

 

Maybe I should?

My new everyday settings lol
