Quite a good mild OC there.

Thanks.

 

[king smp]

Thanks, but I'm already using a Coolermaster Hyper TX3 (w/2 92mm fans)

If I ever get the urge to do a seriuous OC, I can always just buy a bigger case cut a hole in the side pannel of my exiting one. (Then go with a 120mm HSF.)

I run an AMD Phenom Be edition dual heat pipe 60mm with the fan rigged to go from 3000-5000 rpm
with my other fans in case (Scythe Ultra Kaze,Sickleflows,Antec Tricools)
my max temp with a 600mhz increase is under 55c in a 70f room

I am going to upgrade very soon to new cooler
probably one of the cooler masters
they have an inexpensive 80mm amd setup ($15) that I can add a Yate Cool 80mm to make a push pull setup
so will try that in a day or two

and my point is that the cooler you have is pretty decent
as long as you are under 60c in max temps with Prime95 you should push your OC

Don't tempt me. 😉

I do a decent amount of HD video processing so there are times when my CPU will get seriously loaded down for anywhere from 3 minutes to an hour.

I'd prefer to stay below 55c with prime95. Once I found out that I could still use my computer for other stuff when it was rendering, I sort of lost the "drive" to cut every possible millisecond from my render times.

The benefit shown in render times from another 500 Mhz just don't seem big enough when compared to the peace of mind that comes from cooler temps.

I'm also pulling an extra 30 watts from my wall (at idle) with this OC. For easy stuff like surfing the web, It's like leaving a light on in the house when not needed.

All of the "rational" stuff aside....I still might do it at some point.

trust me I know
was just battling a day or two ago to get to 3.6ghz with my PHIIx4 925 2.8
I know I can do it
but dont like running volts that high
I was at 1.55v and then said
why am I doing this for an extra 200mhz?! (normally run 3.4)
so backed down to 3.4 again
oh well the life of an OCer

 

[bardacuda]

At least you are on the chart. I'm starting to think my OC is too weak to get added to the stable list.

*hint* *hint*

[lowjack989]

saint will post it up there eventually Z1NONLY...


Check out my 4.3 GHz stable 965 BE just got it a custom LCS...gonna go for 4.4 GHz soon * fingers crossed * :

 

[king smp]

lowjack what voltage is your 965be at?

 

[lowjack989]

1.535v@4.3GHz 100% Load temps are 38c with a delta temp of 26c

 

[king smp]

I hate you lowjack in a good way

my PHII 925 Deneb non-BE is at 1.48v 2.8ghz>3.4ghz at idle 37c max 57c in 70F room on air
need better fans LOL

just going to run a hose from window AC unit straight into side of case
make a loop to trap condensation
(just kidding LOL)

 

[truegenius]

what about this,
phenom 2 x6 1090t@3.9ghz @1.30v on 4 cores (2 disabled), ambient temp is 25'c, temp at prime95 load remains around 45'c at stock cooling in a cheap and badly designed case.

 

[king smp]

much better temps than mine
a deneb at 3.4 and I am hitting 57c in a 21c room
volts are high at 1.48 though
at stock speeds she runs chilly
but stock speeds are no fun LOL

"Is it better to do the right things for the wrong
reasons or the wrong thing for the right reasons?"
none of them is better.B)😛

 

[saint19]

I extend my invitation to move on to the extreme overclock....subzero cooling ftw.

Funny weekend 😀

 

[lowjack989]

Now thats chilly....lol

"Is it better to do the right things for the wrong

finally
somebody got the answer
you are very smart
only doing the right thing for the right reasons is right

sorry to go off topic mod

back on topic
I have a chance at a 965BE
just need to sell my PHII x 4 925 Deneb C2
finally have a real OCing CPU I hope
ocing on a non-BE is a good learning experience but really need to have a BE

If you know how to overclock a locked CPU, an unlocked CPU is like wake up in the morning.

 

[truegenius]

but not in my case,😀
as i can only get upto 13x nb at 1.35v,😱
so i need to try a combination of multi and fsb to hit nb above 3ghz
nb=260x12=3.12@1.375v
core=260x15=3.9@1.30v (on 4 cores to run it under 45'c during prime95 on stock cooler😉)
ram=260x5.33=1386,cl8,1t@1.5v
stock settings are
fsb 200, nb multi x10, cpu multi x16 (x18turbo), ram 1333 cl9 1t @1.5v (certified for 1600 cl9 2t @1.5v)

as you can see that i am using fsb to oc. But that doesnot matter much.😛

 

[truegenius]

6.6 only, it is too slow.🙁
Saint19 have overclocked 1090t to 6.5g at all cores.😉

Btw if you can manage 1 of those then you can gift that to saint19 to play with that little monster.😛

 

[king smp]

microcenter has some good deals on the H-series watercooling setups right now
and for bragging rights that TWKR 42 cant be beat

 

[king smp]

consider the self contained water coolers like these
http://www.microcenter.com/search/search_results.phtml?N=4294966904

the H80 is at a good price

so far not a single bite on the CPU and that is with two ads in Craigslist Argghh

oh well my PHII 925 at 3.4 is really decent
more than enough for what I need

Mal check PMs

 

[truegenius]

you copied those lines from your posts in pd thread.

Smp needs 965 and you want to sell your 965, buyer met seller.😀

 

[king smp]

seller meet broke person LOL
unless I sell my PHII x 4 925

and hey truegenius the topic of TWK 42 cpu fits in the PD thread also so why not post it there?

this is all for fun and to start conversations
nothing wrong with multiple postings IMHO if they apply to those threads

 

[king smp]

heee heee heee
ROFL LMFAO
we better be careful and stop going off topic or this will all go away

Mal in the PD thread I yelled at you

why would you not go with liquid cooling that TWK
the H-series water coolers like a H80 are under a 100 at Microcenter
and even Danger Den setups arent that bad anymore
you have a chance of hitting 5ghz stable with that TWK 42 and staying under
1.55v (volt limit on Denebs-dont make me source it)

as a tech and enthusiast you need to do this if you can afford
plus having a water cooled TWK 42 is awesome bragging rights but more importantly
a great learning experience

 

[saint19]

In my plans are a BD for extreme OC, maybe in three months from now.

 

[king smp]

the $99 dollar Zosma 960T BE is fascinating to me
six cores at 4ghz for $99!
I hear they unlock reasonably well

but also a 965BE is still an awesome option

I hope the Thuban BEs drop in price this year used on Ebay
maybe later in year get one

but I would have to sell my PHII 925 and pretty much make an even swap right now

but a extremely OCd BD running Windows 8 could be very interesting
