Guest Zanthros Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 So I have read the directions and followed the guides ..... yet I am still left with one real simple question ...... IS THAT IT? The question is really a simple one.... In following the "Definitive Overclocking Guide" I have hit the wall .... so to speak. The wall is far lower than I expected it to be. I am wondering ..... is that it? This is the max of the processor? I realize the the truth is hard to swallow sometimes but sometime you kinda expect more ..... ya know what I mean? Anyway ... is the "max" that I hit really it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 What were your expectations of the FX60? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zanthros Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 At least better than 3ghz. My wall came at 2989mhz..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 At least better than 3ghz. My wall came at 2989mhz..... I dunno, look up what others have done in the OCDB... tweak your timings... who knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zanthros Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 It is "buggy" @ 3014mhz and locks up the OCCT testing .... also @ 3002mhz. I guess that is why everyone says "OPTY" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltes-5 Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 Do a research and a lot of the lower stock speed Opty's will clock much better than FX 60's, especially the good stepping ones. Then again there are many that have crappy OC'ability, like what I have. Hit a wall with 300x9, and thats it. It varies from chip to chip, but a better chance is to get a good stepping. Also there was someone here with an FX 60 that hit well over 3.0 on stock vcore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zanthros Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 So if money were not an object and you could get a 939 processor of your choice and memory , keeping in mind that you were looking for the max overclock (MHZ) what would be the weapons of choice?

HITandRUN Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 I guess I would go for the FX60 again! Mine hit 3Gig right out of the box with a little more voltage! Actually core 0 is the pain. I can boot easily at 3.1Gig but core 0 won’t pass testing for not even a minute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zanthros Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 Hmmmmmmm looks like the opty 165's have a better "success" rate..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zanthros Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 So I take it that "the wall ids the wall" Eh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
