X3 450 - Unlock quad vs Oced triple core.

[sull324]

I recently bought an AMD x3 450, I managed to unlock the quad core without being able to OC (temp high on stock fan),and i managed to bring the processor on triplecore to 3.8ghz on air cooling with an decent temp.

 

I was wondering which would bring me better performance ,i mostly play games and i cant decide which will benefit me the best from.

Triple core overclocked until you get a new after market fan. Are you running stress tests from Prime95? What are your temps?

That's an unnatural spike in temps at those volts with one extra core. It'd probably be safer to keep that core disabled, they might have had good reasons to disable it.

Ok i solved my problem,unlocking the 4th core made the sensor buggy so i had to compensate with an offset.

Got 3.5ghz at 1.4v and getting 50c during load with quad core.

 

thank you.
