ontoptherock Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 i have just started overclocking my 555 BE unlocked to 4 cores and since i am just starting to overclock, never have before this, i was just messing with the multiplier trying to figure the max multi i could boot in. i got the multiplier up to 19.5 @ 3.9 Ghz. couldnt boot at 20x multiplier. did light benchmarking @ 3.9 nothing that would constitute stability test, atleast nothing extensive. but is this good for a start. from reading around it says to start with the multiplier and find your max boot.

wormy Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 Well you need to run a stability test to make sure its stable then you can say it can run it. but its a good start Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ontoptherock Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 Well you need to run a stability test to make sure its stable then you can say it can run it. but its a good start I'm running stock fan right now, thats why i only ran benchmarks and no prime. i'm just messing around a little, so that way when i do decide to really start testing i have an idea of where to start Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disparaitre Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 Considering I had a friend that wasted the money on a 965 and couldn't break 3.8ghz I'd say thats pretty good for an unlocked 555. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadMos Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 Good result to start. My 555 does not reach 3.7Ghz unlocked (3.6ghz max stable). I had better luck with my 720 unlocked runs at 4GHz without problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
