NightDiver Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Well, it may not win any awards, but for my first attempt at an OC'd build in 4 years and on air, I think a 30.7% increase isn't bad considering its rock solid and temps flat line at 63C. ,, The original settings, right out of the box, along with the final OC'd settings. OCCT after 30 minutes... (it did go for an hour test afterwards, but I forgot to screenshot that one) OCCT's printout of 30 minute test... Dont ask me why it shows original speed as 3700 instead of 3100... And for those who didn't see my other post with the build components...

Waco Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 I bet you can push that A LOT further. I had my 8120 at 4.5 GHz without breaking a sweat on my old ASRock 890FX board. 4.065 GHz is barely over the normal turbo-core speed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightDiver Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Im sure I could, but I was in a hurry to get using the thing instead of playing with bios, so I just played with bus speed and the multiplier and just left voltages alone for now.... Temps were getting a bit high during stress testing, which was why I decided not to push it much farther... I have noticed that temps have dropped about 10C while folding on all 8 cores from where it was when I first built it, so Im guessing the thermal paste has started to cure a bit, so I may try again... or, I may play with it the way it is for a while and then pick up a water cooling setup considering how much room is in this case and see where I can go then...

d6bmg Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Nice benchmarks here. I was going to say unless Waco haven't said it already. You can push it further more without any problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
