phatboy922 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I was just wondering who has a higher overclock than me on stock cooling. I have an Athlon 64 3000+ Venice (1.8ghz) running at 2.68ghz with my memory at 268mhz on an MSI Neo2... Anyone got any higher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabricioGS Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 But this my processor can go far from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amdprophet Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 AMD Opteron 144, stock 1.8 GHz OC'd to 3.0 GHz with stock cooling and almost stock voltage. You can sure get a lot more of an overclock when you've got the DFI LanParty UT nF4 Ultra-D. I've got friends with the same processor who have got theirs up to 3.2 -> 3.4ish, or at least somewhere around there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macprodan Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 i'm running 2 x 2.5 ghz on my X2 3800 (2.0 Ghz Stock) with stock cooling, i wont go higher till i get a better cooler if i do, i think its fast enough as it is. im waiting for the A64 X2 or X4 , lol. Socket M2's with DDR2 then ill prob build a whole new rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EtherealRemnant Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 My 3500+ Venice tops out at 2.75GHz as far as stability goes and that's at 1.75v - OUCH... I keep it at 2.64GHz, 1.65v on a daily basis. I'll get an Opty soon though and we'll see how that does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amdprophet Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I love Opterons, and I'm sure you will too. Once you go green, you'll never come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careless Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 i have a O-165 with the best stepping you can get CCBWE 0530 TPMW it's gotten to 3.2ish, with water cooling. probably round 2.8 with really good air cooling, and a loud/highspeed/high cfm fan, but i am sitting at 2.55 on 1.375 volts thats 283x9 on kingston value ram aswell... so memory speed is a bit of a bottleneck for me.

macgirl Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 thats 283x9 on kingston value ram aswell... so memory speed is a bit of a bottleneck for me. I also have the Kingston value ram, but with 3-3-3-8 2T before I had those 2.5 cas but with a 256 sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EtherealRemnant Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Ouch... that is some slow RAM. Even my 512 sticks of GeIL value RAM were CAS 2.5! Well, the best deal on memory IMO is G.Skill Extreme Series (black heat spreaders) Its CAS 3 too - 2GB for 170 bucks and its rated for DDR500 but my particular set hits 550 without errors at CAS 3. The one thing that bugs me about it is that on ANY speed, CAS 2.5 throws errors. But hey, my memory whips some serious ass so I won't {censored}.

amdprophet Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Could you post your current OC settings? Sorry for taking such a long time, I forgot about this thread. My FSB is somewhere inbetween 310 and 324 and my multiplier is 9. I believe my RAM is around 230MHz as well, but I can't remember my divider. I'll post screenshots when I get home, if I can remember.

zackhunter Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 ive a, maybe, stupid Question. Ive a Athlon 64 3000 NForce3 rig. Is Mac OS X86 running in really 64bit mode or in 32bit? P.S. Seems that Mac OS is running more stable when OC than the damn WinXP. No probs with OC on Mac OSX at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabr Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I've gotten to 2.64 Ghz with my Athlon 64 3500+ Venice, @ 1.56ish volts... I don't like to surge much more than that through it - that's when I start to get a bit worried that I'm damaging it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD_nVidia Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 AMD Athlon X2 4200+ 2.0Ghz Stock Oc'ed " 3.14Ghz With Stock AMD cooling - Just putting the FSB up, no messing with voltage or w/e. Once I get a new rig for christmas i'll mess about with it a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe75 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I can get my 754 +3400 Venice to 2.73 unstable and hold 2.7 24 hour prime stable, these are the limits of my board and the CPU could do much more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joneSi Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 OK, AMD OVERCLOCKERS...I NEED YOUR HELP! I have an Opteron 170 that I have at 2.8 EASILY stable...but it runs as fast as my proc at 2.0ghz according to Xbench. It seems that 2.4ghz runs the fastest that it'll run. That is no ram overclock, no video overclock, apples to apples. Just crankin' up the FSB and giving it a bit of voltage (1.385 volts) seems to do the trick to get it to boot, but why in the WORLD does it run SLOWER I'm basing this all on Xbench scores etc, btw. Let me know where I am gowing wrong or if I am going wrong.... joneSi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 joneSi, try running Geekbench and compare your scores. Geekbench is more processor oriented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joneSi Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 (edited) joneSi, try running Geekbench and compare your scores. Geekbench is more processor oriented. Thanks. Will do. joneSi EDIT: OK, so at anything above 2.4 ghz I can boot with a slight bump to v-core. However when I use cpuz in XP or I check proc. speed in system information it says its a 2.01ghz in both. Something is goofing in there and it is running slower than when I run at 2.4. To be totally honest, I'm rather happy with my performance at 2.4ghz and would be content keeping that. I'm curious as to why my speeds are decreasing though. Geekbench confirms this as well.

enthralled Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 (edited) X2 3800+ (Toledo) @ 2.7GHz with stock volts (1.35v) It runs well at 3GHz, but at that point I don't see much performance boost. I have to add a lot of voltage too, which I'm not particularly fond of doing. Also, I have 2GB Crucial Ballistix running 1:1 (270MHz) ;-). I'm happy overall.

Geekbench confirms this as well. it might be that its overheating, or the fact that the more you overclock a system, the more bad commands it will send out, and will eventually degrade performance. just a theory, not quite sure.

In the BIOS at 2.6ghz its running below 40c either its not reporting accurate temps or my mobo is getting screwy at high speeds. I suspect its the second. I think the temps are accurate just don't know enough about the rest. joneSi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbetts Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 On my 3400+, I got from 2.2 ghz, to 2.7, but changed it back. I only did it for testing, and getting a new cooler for it soon, so I plan on OCing more than that once I get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbetts Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Can't hit 2.7 now, only 2.5. Still, not that bad though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
