philbrown23 Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 looks like I have graduated guys! I have clocked my a64x2 4200+ 939 from (stock) 2.2ghz to (oc) 2.8ghz (well actually 2.797 but real close!). and I haven't even hit 1.4 in my vcore! I just barely had to change it from 1.756 to 1.875! I have some cpu-z pics for proof and a validation link for your viewing pleasure! let me know if there is anything else that could be done to get it higher I'm sure I could get at least 3 out of it! I cannot change my ram timings as I do not have oc'ing ram and every time I try it becomes completely unstable! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblivescence Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 congratulations, and to think, when you first started here, I wondered if your computer would survive this venture. seriously though, glad to hear you actually got a real oc, stable I assume.

OneShot 926 Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Congrats !! :thumbs-up: run some stability tests on it to be sure you are good to go.. SEE those ASUS boards overclock, Just with fewer options than say a DFI like hardnrg's 50% OC (which was sweet to see too) :thumbs-up: But when i built this comp. I didn't even think about OC it. My next rig will be very well planed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

exeter_acres Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 but isn't your ram running insanely slow? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 I haven't even hit 1.4 in my vcore! I just barely had to change it from 1.756 to 1.875! Wait...what? but isn't your ram running insanely slow? Eh, DDR320 isn't likely to be bottlenecking it. RAM speed makes a surprisingly small difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philbrown23 Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Wait...what?Eh, DDR320 isn't likely to be bottlenecking it. RAM speed makes a surprisingly small difference. What.....what?? yeah I need to find some decent ocing ram just havent decided if I should wait till I make my switch to intel or not.

hardnrg Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 the 166 ram divider will put the ram speed at 215 MHz, which PC3200 should be capable of... I'd change the timings to 3-4-4-8-1T (CL-tRCD-tRP-tRAS-CPC) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEE those ASUS boards overclock, Just with fewer options than say a DFI like hardnrg's 50% OC (which was sweet to see too) :thumbs-up: But when i built this comp. I didn't even think about OC it. My next rig will be very well planed. I got a 55% oc on a "budget" asus board, and run my 1.8ghz Venus opty at 2.8 24/7. Can bench it at 2.9 too - impressive for the stock speed being 1.8ghz. The settings are there, just need to hunt a bit to find them. It likes to "auto" set bios settings way too aggressive, so you need to manually set proper specs to get a nice oc. Wait...what?Eh, DDR320 isn't likely to be bottlenecking it. RAM speed makes a surprisingly small difference. Its an a64 not a c2d, it depends on the benchmark. On things like superpi and 3d2k1 ram speed makes a HUGE difference. Since it effectively scales with the processor speed anyway though, you have to find a happy medium between ram speed and processor mhz to find the best performance. Run some stability test to be sure, but with a bit more juice and tweaking the ram you should be able to get more, especially if your temps are low.

hardnrg Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 you should start posting your oc's in the 939 oc thread... maybe we could have a battle or something hehe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 you should start posting your oc's in the 939 oc thread... maybe we could have a battle or something hehe lol, good joke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 you should start posting your oc's in the 939 oc thread... maybe we could have a battle or something hehe I'm retired! Maybe with the new build coming I'll dust off the 3Dmark's and do a couple runs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
