huw27 Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Hi all, I have been trying to overclock the above CPU but don't seem to be able to get it past 2.7. i have searched the overclocking tread. but can not find anyone's settings for a stable 2.8 or even 2.9 which i have read this CPU can easily reach. has anyone got some BIOS setting for my setup. i'm not being lazy as i like trying things out, but due to being a novice i get one bit sorted and then the memory will mess up or it won't boot at all. and can never work out what has caused the none boot so have to start from beginning again. which gets rather frustrating:sad: as you will all know. thanks.

You shouldn't have too much trouble getting a bit more out of your CPU especially with your RAM as it is rated to 250/500mhz so straight away that gives you a 50mhz safe window to overclock in at 1:1 & then you can always reduce the divider to ensue your RAM isn't failing whilst you are testing out what your CPU can do. Is your CPU voltage set auto or have you set it to 1.35v the max recommended stock voltage from AMD maybe a small bump in voltage would help if all else fails. It is passable you cant get it stable at 2.8 on stock voltages just because you have the best FX-60 wont guarantee you the best overclocker although its a good start imo. Can you post up your settings I think this will help anyone trying to help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flybye444 Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 I found best performance for my ram was to set the cpu @ 2925mhz (224x13 multi) but had it running @3010mhz. At 2925 mhz the ram is set to 2.5-3-2-5 1t 1:1 and runs 7167 for memory bandwidth. This is pc4000 ocz platinum ram well its in the sig anywa. PS check your ram timings because you should get way better o/c then that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huw27 Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 Hi Guys, sorry for not getting back sooner, but been away for a couple of weeks. @ the moment i am at stock memory timmings of 3, 3, 3, 8. 1.01 i have got my 200 multi set @ X13.5 cpu running 2.75. @ stock voltage. i can get it to run in memtest 1.65 @ 2.884 with settings of 219 x13 also at stock volts and get no problems. But for some reason it will not boot into Vista and so i have to go back to the above settings as i struggle understanding volt changes and the order they are ment to do.

3stars Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 sorry to be a killjoy but you really should read the overclocking guide first then have a shot at messing with the bios what you max for the cpu? what is the max for your ram? then work to get them together cause your fx60 is the mutts nuts it should do 3 or near enough but it takes time to get stable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHAGVIRUS Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 what bios are you guys running? I hear games you are better with raw mhz over memory bandwith? true? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackOrlowski Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Hey im in need of some direction in this particular area as well. currently im using stock air cooling and just looking for a taste of OCing. I dont wanna try and clock to 3G yet but would like examine tweaked ram timings as well. So a mild oc in the 2.7-2.8 range is more what im after. Edit: Im stupid and tired. Ive got it squared away now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive got it squared away now. You need a better CPU cooler for OC'ing! FX60 run pretty hot and I wouldn't recommend to OC with the stock cooler! Also stay below 50C on full load! This is all they can take! After this its over! Also reading the OC guid would help all you guys with the issue! You need to find out the max on your CPU and the mem and go from there!

Post all your memory settings! What voltages are you running at the moment on the memory and the CPU? What are the temps. on full load? Did you run memtest from the BIOS to test the memory for errors. The Ballistix 2GB kits are known to die when to much voltage applied!

JackOrlowski Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 yeah im putting together a water cooling system. If OCing on stock air is no buenno than I can wait. Thanks for your response Ill keep you guy posted on my progress Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
