Alexandre Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Hello and welcome to OCC james91! While I am not a Phenom II overclocker I think this guide may be helpful in overclocking your Phenom II x6. It is a bit of a long read (and I recommend you read through the whole thing before changing any settings) but the more knowledge you have the better you will be at overclocking and the more fun it will be! I would recommend you get the following programs to test your overclocks: CoreTemp - This allows you to see the temps of your CPU and helps you make sure they are not too high. Prime95 - This allows you to load your CPU to test the overclock. Generally people use Small FFTs for maximum CPU stress testing. Hope that helps mate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyt Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 The H50 wont be enough for 4.2ghz . I've owned the H50 Push/Pull and the H70 . The H50 will handle 4ghz with 1.45v Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iskout Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 i have my H50 push and pull with 2 scythe ultra kraze 3000 rpm fams I'd still try 4.0 and see what it's at temp-wise. Baby steps, man, baby steps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am extreamly interested in your finding, I am getting a new CPU next week and I was looking at the 1090T (I have an X3 720be) I have an A70 heatsink thouh which is not liquid cooled like yours. let me know how it goes!

james91 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 ok well i am finding it really hard to get a stable overclock right now. i had it booting at 4.2ghz but during prime it would just shut down. so im gonna get i was either over volting or under volting it. maybe it was getting enough from the psu :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What PSU are you using? Edited February 9, 2011 by Alexandre Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
james91 Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 well im giving up on overclocking right now as it wont stay stable at any over clock not even ones i have seen on here tried 3.87 i read someone do as a 24/7 on air cooling and with my h50 wouldnt stay stable temps where under 35 degrees still so wasnt the problem. i had c1e and cool n quite and turbo disabled Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
acpowell Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) This Tuesday i am getting this CPU and a ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3. I will let you know how it goes for me as I plan on OCing this also. I have the A70 cooler which works well for me. On my current CPU I can only get 4 ticks higher than the stock with out it crashing so don't feel bad, and I have had this for over a year. It has a lot to do with voltages and bringing up other settings with your CPU that I don't quite understand yet so I know how you feel. Hopefully I can get my up to 4Ghz and if I do i will let you know what settings I used so that you may also try them. I don't think Cool-n-quite will cause an OC to fail just won't let your computer run at full speed all the time. Not sure what c1e is though. Edit: removed typos.

Nyt Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 For 4ghz use 1.45v and use 286fsb x 14 to give you 4ghz and for 4.2ghz you need 1.475v with 255fsb x 16.5 to give you 4.2ghz . Remember to have LLC enabled and have HT Link and NB at around 2500mhz - 2600mhz Stress test with prime and see your temps . I have an H70 with 2x2000rpm fans in an excellently cooled HAF932 and I come in at 51C in summer load Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
