Here is an update on that FX 8150 (ES) chip. Ran cinebench 11.5 @ 4.94Ghz. Notice CPU temps are really low. Usually when i max them out they don't go over 50C @ over 5Ghz. I changed the way my radiators run. If you want me to post a 6Ghz score. I'm gonna need some help from professionals here on how to go about doing that. What voltage would you think is right?

Impressive clock's! can't wait to see what the FX-8170 can do once I get my hands on one :ange: lol. I'm happy just with my PII at 4GHz but dang nearly 5GHz C_C that sounds more appealing every time I see it lols

Your set-up is non-condusive for OCing...So its not even a good forum post...In short ,..."Ya gotta pay to play"

I've got a stable overclock, examined 18h on prime 95, I simply attempted raising the NB frequency after which went prime95 again, right when i was saving the screenshot after 2 hrs and 22 minutes of torture test, I acquired the BSOD. So, I called my NB normal again and can edit this publish when I have run the best 95 again (It has been stable for 18h but did not have a screenshot because I had not seen this thread yet) and also have become a screenshot that saves without giving me the dreaded BSOD... XD

Meanwhile, I am less than sure things to put my cpu lower as, because its a Athlon II X3 440, unlocked to some supposed Phenom II X4 B40, after which overclocked. I'll just let it rest as what CPUZ states it's:

Cpu: AMD PHENOM II X4

Title: DANIEL-PC

Walking: BL-C2

Frequency: 3536.73 Mhz

Ref*Multi: 235.78*15

CPU current: 1.452v (which rises to ~1.47v under load)

CPU-NB: Auto

NB Frequency: 1886

NB volts: Auto

RAM: 4GB 1572 Mhz DDR3 7-8-7-24-1T @ 1.5V

System board: ASUS M4A87TD/USB3

Cooling: Air cooling / Thermaltake Contac 29

OS: Home windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

Like I stated before, I'll edit this publish once I have run prime 95 AGAIN to publish a picture having a effective 2h run.

hi i run prime 95 blend test and it stopped test on worker 4 only after 2 hours 8 minutes,
does this mean my overclock is not stable,
wasnt sure im new to this could there be another reason for the error,
thankyou

lowered my fsb and ran prime 95 blend test again,
and again it stopped worker 4 after 2 hours 8 minutes the other three cores kept running like last time,
is there somthing i can do which will effect core 4 more than the others thanks

sorry cpu voltage should read 1.475,
tried uping voltage to 1.5 and raising the multiplier to twenty but it cant get it stable,
i tried lowering fsb to 210 from 212 as at 212 only reads as 210.7 on cpuz,
it ran hourish prime95, then my system restrated any body any ideas,
id liked to get it higher my temps are still good, thankyou

I had to find the multiplier maximum...Then I went back FSB and Multiplier method...Check my settings on the stable OC list...It took a lot of voltage on the CPU..@100% load my board pushed the vcore up to 1.56v from my initial BIOS setting of 1.536v....I kept the tempeture down and the chip survived the test(s) : Prime95...2 hours-->small fft's, then ran blend, then I got really froggy and pushed it one more time for the large fft's ...MAX STRESS...She got warm for a bit ...Max temp was 58c....My screenshots are up on here also..Oh I almost forgot, watch out for the NB and HT speeds when upping the FSB as this was the cause of my instability...I was right on the edge had the NB at 2828 MHz and HT was at 2630 MHz...So I pulled the NB and HT back to NB:2600 MHz and HT:2400 MHz and viola...Solid OC...I hope that helps
