Nice job all! Great to see the AMD's steppin it up.

I'm working on my OC buit is a little difficult with an old Rev. C2.

Here's my overclock:

sorry I'll I could do is give the link.

Cpu: AMD Athlon II x4 630

I think I will go higher later, but I feel good for now.

Nice job TheOKAY, looks good !

If in your future adventures, see if you can lower your HT Freq. to x8 or 2064 and remain stable. Your rig may need what it needs, but most have found little benefit from raising HT much over 2200 or so..

Well done !

Have you found a new proc yet ?

 

[saint19]

Yeah, soon I will have a 1090T and in few months I plan build a custom LCS 😉

ah heck ...............

Well out of pure boredom I decided to roll the dice on a 145. Managed to luck out and get a healthy x2 4450e.

Good at 3.8/1.44.... http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/7516/445038prime.jpg

Took some adjusting for 3.9.... http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/3889/44503915214.jpg

hey guys i plan on joining the club soon and will post my results

however.

I was just wondering what are some benchmark temps i should be looking for when on a 965BE when OCing it (i.e. try to say under what temp?)

I am just getting my Hyper 212+ installed now and i am gonna be getting a 2nd fan for push/pull right. i IDLE around 30-33C and load at 45-47C when running at 3.7GHZ (200*18.5x)

but yah just wondering what is a safe temp range for a Phenom II X4 965 BE CPU!

THANKS!

 

[saint19]

Hi jasonp12

Temps below 60C are good for ur CPU.

 

[jasonp12]

ok

now heres a weird question for you

i read in a toms review that for OCing a Black Edition CPU it is good practice to shut c1e off and Cool N Quiet (both have helped in overclocking) and have had no effects on my load temps

however my idle temps went up from like 27-29C or like 32-35C is that normal because C1E stops CPU throttling?

 

[saint19]

C1E was designed for the 1st Phenom generation and that's the reason for disable it when u OC a Phenom II series.

Cool'n'Quite is only useful when ur CPU is on idle but in load the Coll'n'Quite doesn't work.

The temps changes are normal since not always the fan cooler run at the same speed and the case temps are in the same level.

 

[jasonp12]

ok thanks!

now i was reading the guide then reading this post

in the guide it mainly states sticking to raising the multiplier then when that fails increase voltage if you wanna go higher if not raise the FSB ref clock to get a fine tweak.

i see in some of these overclocks people have upped their NB frequency what does that do exactly? in AOD there is an option to up the CPU NB Multiplier what exactly does it do i havent touched it yet

 

[jasonp12]

ohh yah and what test are you guys running on prime95?

balanced small large or a custom?

 

[TheOKAY]

I would run linX myself, but not for temperature tests. It doesn't bring my cpu temp to as high of values as prime95 but it does find instabilities rather quickly especially when you set it to use all of your ram.

 

[saint19]

ohh yah and what test are you guys running on prime95?

balanced small large or a custom?

Run the large test.

But I prefer LinX with "All" selected.

 

[jasonp12]

got a download link for LinX? and whats the advantage of LinX over Prime95?

and as TheOkay said isnt Prime95 better for temp reading?

 

[saint19]

None of the stability programs do temps read, for temps read u need HWMonitor, speedfan or coretemp.

LinX link: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=201670

 

[jasonp12]

i do use HWMonitor and CPU-Z

whats the advantage/diff between linX and Prime95?

 

[jasonp12]

ive used prime95 before always never used LinX is it pretty straight forward? and again whats the big diff betwen the 2?

 

[saint19]

Both are very similar, but with LinX u can select the amount of RAM that the stress tech will use and the time that this will run while prim95 doesn't have that options.
