Post your overclocks here!

[srpeters18]

Okay guys, I know most of us have it in our sig, but post your clocks here. We don't need to see all your BIOS settings, that's boring. Just post your MB, CPU, clock, voltage, and temps, mem latency and voltage and GPU clocks and temps. Also, let us know if its stable or not. I will edit this post with mine when I get home this weekend.

[tyle6]

Well its 5 degrees outside and raining, looks like I might get the morning off! I challange any one of you B3D's to a "monday morning clock off" see if we cant get some useful posts in the thread~!! Highest OC by Percent wins the cookie with a big H

I will kick off the first round with a mild 25% OC on my CPU, 3.0ghz on a E6600 with 1.4Vcore.

[tyle6]

What??? NO ONE OVERCLOCKS ANYMORE???? or can yea guys just not beat a measily 25% OC? lol

[Scott]

I am overlocking my Quad Core by 820MHz. I had it a 4GHz but it ran to hot for my liking. Voltage is 1.45 on CPU.

[tyle6]

Yea, Im not too happy with the heat im getting from my CPU either atm. Somethings iffy with this mobo I have been running all winter, so I dont want to push it too hard and blow something else... already went threw a half dozen sticks of ram on this POS. (Should never have bought open box to save a few bucks)

[srpeters18]

I'm 1100 mhz over stock, but can't remember my voltages. Temps are at about 65 degrees. I'll post some screenies this weekend.

[PP Mguire]

AMD AthlonX2 4200+
2.8ghz @ 1.56v load is 56c. Idc about idle.

Currently have one card taken out so im running my single 7950GT
700/770 1.55v volt mod load is about 54c with VF900-cu

[jellyrole]

My OC isn't worth posting.

[coxmaster]

E6550.. overclocked from 2.33 to 2.625 :P Its running a bit hotter than i would like, but hopefully i'll get my new CPU HS/fan and then i will also take the time to find a lower stable CPU voltage

[Miles]

I'm 1100 mhz over stock, but can't remember my voltages. Temps are at about 65 degrees. I'll post some screenies this weekend.

You must have a B3 Stepping Q6600, I have a G0 and am easily able to run 3.6 using 1.45V and load temps are never more than the mid 50 Celsius range.

[srpeters18]

Nope, mine is a G0, but I am running over 1.5v. Still having the occasional hard lock too, I'm thinking about playing around with the NB voltage a little more when I get home.

[raidersforever01]

The highest i was ever able to get was 3.7ghz but wasn't stable 3.6 highest sable but i didn't like the temps or voltage needed. I normally have it as 3.5 but i am running on craptacular ram right now i had to RMA my OCZ 3 times already i am regretting getting it, my A-data's were awesome shouldn't have sold them but here is a nice OC of my e2180.

It is a hot southern california day at full load and i can't beleive for some of you its still winter i am sweating my *** off. Maybve i should throw some more voltage through the ram and see if it will let me get 3.6.

[Dragon_CPU]

What??? NO ONE OVERCLOCKS ANYMORE???? or can yea guys just not beat a measily 25% OC? lol

Ha! Thats all I do is try and make a cheap cpu into a more expensive one. I only increased my sandy from 2.2 to 2.8....did reach 3.0 but was unstable so that translates into a 27% overclock - that was a good overclock back in the day. My timings are in my sig.

I did buy a very popular Sandy (anybody remember the sandy - its been so long that I forgot the real name of the core?)...one of the best AMD overclockers back in the day...it used to sell for over $500 when it first came out and I bought it late new at $109 almost 2 years ago.

Just bit the bullet and upgraded to a e8400...can wait to put it together and see where that goes....reminds me of the sandy back 2-3 years ago.

Y'all want overclocks, y'all got overclocks.

No screenie, but this E6300 will actually hit ~105% and run fully stable at 3,840Mhz at the same settings. Love that chip, was my first upgrade since Pentium 4 Northwood days... it still purrs along just fine.

My Q6600 G0 1.20v Overclocking/Undervolting Exploits:
All settings 24/7 Prime stable unless mentioned otherwise

2.4GHz 1.10v
3.2GHz 1.20v (3.3Ghz is unstable, 3.4Ghz won't load Windows, but 3.2GHz is rock solid) (Can't find any screenies, probably lost them. Closest one: http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n129/Chanur64/DQ6/12hour3GhzQuadOC.jpg )
3.4Ghz 1.30v (http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n129/Chanur64/DQ6/quad34ghz20hourstable.jpg)
3.6GHz 1.43v
4.23GHz 1.55v (Chilled water, unstable) (http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=4668245) Won 4th place in the Gigabyte competition with this, they wanted the best CPU score.

A good while ago I had some tests using the Q6600 at 1.38v @ 3.8GHz but they didn't pan out, there's some issue with the system I can't pin down, was hard as heck just to stay stable at 3.6Ghz without a sporadic reboot. I can test fully Prime95 stable at 3.8Ghz, but the system will sporadically grind to a halt, then promptly lock up in roughly 24 hour intervals at anything above 3.6Ghz. I never could definitively figure out why.

[Sadasius]

Hmmmm I wonder what is holding you back with your Q6600. It just may be the chip itself too though. What were your settings to try 3.8ghz? I know some people had to pump about 1.6volts to the vcore to hold it stable.

[Kougar]

I also seem to have lost all of those screenies, I had a bunch as it just seemed like it would continue to OC forever at the time, it was more than 4+ hours Prime95 stable at 3.8GHz using 1.36v or 1.38v. As you will note, I'm currently using 1.43v for a 200Mhz slower setting, though. ;)

The issue was when I pump 1.55v the system doesn't always boot, when I used 1.6v the system wouldn't even boot it would just yell a single toned beep at me and restart at stock CPU settings. ;) This CPU doesn't do well with high voltages, at all. I used 1.55v with chilled water, and it actually booted, so I am sure on that part that the CPU is what didn't care for the high voltages. My guess would just have to be the CPU, s it is very obvious from looking at the VCORE voltage distribution that I am literally pinning it against it's maximum threshold. There is always a point where more voltage does NOT equal more overclock. :)

Something for Q6600 owners to be aware of. Total system power consumption is nearly double when you approach 4GHz, so imagine how much current is going through that CPU alone... ;) Might not be true for all systems, but I measured this with my own rig. Fully stock was 255w under load, when Prime95ing between 3.8 to 4GHz I was easily measuring over 500w+ loads, with the GPU idle.

[Sadasius]

Damn.....That's a lot of power. I cannot wait to get tweaking at my new setup. Starting to get a little impatient now. I wonder what will blow chunks first...the CPU or the Mobo.

[Pablo 54]

Coxmaster,

I have been very hesitant to OC my 6550. I did get up to 2.8ish but then quickly shut it down – no reason just very nervous. I have seen postings as high as 3.22 at stock vcore. If I may ask, at what level are you starting to see it become unstable? When I purchased this chip, my goal was to OC about 20-25% and nothing more.

Paul

[ecpowers]

I only have this validation link of a E6400 on my old DFI LP LT X38-T2R oc'ed it while i was checking for instabilities with 2xHD3870X2 + Q6600 B3 @ 3.8Ghz.

I havent actually ever had any stability issues. I have gotten to 3.0Ghz and it seemed stable.. but the temps were a tad bit high for me. Hopefully my CPU fan should get here today and i'll really find out

[Dragon_CPU]

These are my OC's so far going to see how high I can take the 8750 x3 phenom....So I'm not finished yet. 3870 toxic runs nice at these clocks...

Ahh what the heck, here's mine.

First system:

Maximus Formula x48 Rampage BIOS hack

X3220 (Xeon Q6600) 3.4 ghz, 1.48 vcore.

35 idle, and 60 load.


Second:

P5N32-E SLI

E6400 @ 3.7 1.46 volts.

(with a TRUE) 40 idle, 55 load.

Video card:

EVGA 8800GT

stock: 600 core / 900 memory

Volt modded (1.25 instead of .95 vcore)

800 core / 1000 memory.

With a duorb:
idle : 45
load : 55

I think I can just about match a GTX at those speeds.

[Sadasius]

You did the Rampage hack? How did that work out? I heard from others that it made the board more stable.

[trueg50]

You did the Rampage hack? How did that work out? I heard from others that it made the board more stable.

It mostly just brings out the tRD adjustment, along with a ton of additional memory settings.My memory needs a timing loosened that Asus doesn't list in the Maximus BIOS.There is an overview of what it does. (http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=3208)

Here is the results of what tRD does. (http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=3208&p=7)

All I did was make a bootable USB drive, throw any BIOS (from the Rampage board, or maximus formula, it works for both), threw a program on it called afudos, then rebooted.

Then when it gets to the DOS prompt, I just type "afudos /biosname.rom /pbnc /n" and it flashes the bios. This works fine for the Rampage hack, or just flashing to a newer version of my Maximus Formula BIOS.

nope, AIR, thermalright ultra extreme....
note that I did this at 1.46 volts, which is still moderate, but I wouldnt pump that much into her 24/7 under air.

you want a b2 stepping, something like week L630 or L628 if you want to go this high, I bought the chip used too, and I got lucky.....
check out this chart, and hope you get a good chip.

I have L630, also just so you know, does 3.2 @1.29 v (1.325 in bios), amazing little chip....

[jellyrole]

Cool! He said it was either B2, or B3 when I asked him, so there's a 50/50 chance its B2!

[trueg50]

Very nice.

My E6400 was a B2; 3.0ghz at a little under 1.3 volts, nothing earth shattering, but compared to the Athlon XP +2000 (2.0 ghz) I was using, it was amazing.

[Dragon_CPU]

Ok here are my clocks for my new setup, CPU, Ram, GPU.

i can't remember specifics right now, but:

XFX 780I SLI MoBo

GForce 8600 GTS 256 MB (i know, crappy card, but i was short on cash)
2 GB RAM (again, short on cash, will fix soon)

i can't remember exact FSB settings or voltages, or memory timings off the top of my head. will head into BIOS sometime soon and nab that for posting pleasure.

[PP Mguire]

There is nothing with 2gig of ram but that card is whoa lol. Killer setup to be killed by video card hehe.

[caldin]

lol. i know, i know. the card is absolutely horrid. but i plan on fixing it soon. probably just go to a 9800 something or other. can't afford any of the new 200 series for a while. and will just get that with a real OC'ing setup. you think i should replace GPU or RAM first? probably a stupid question

[AJ.]

Here's mine. I only have the CPU overclocked because I don't like OC'ing video cards. Plus, I'm running an X1300 pro ATM. It's not worth my time. :lol:

Well, technically you just need to meet the minimum computer specification requirements. The thing is with 3DM06 and all other synthetic benchmarks is the fact they are utterly useless in terms of showing real-world performance.

It just makes you feel crappy about how outdated your system is when in reality you recently bought the hardware. In your case, I would stay away. 8600GTS is less than desirable.

[caldin]

lol. yeah, i know the 8600gts is less than desirable. guess i'll wait till i get a 200 series card in the next couple of months of saving for it.

[ol'norton]

No, run your 8600GTS @ stock & then overclock it & see how much improvement you get.
Here's my 3DMark-03 score with my Gigabyte 8600GTS & it's only passively cooled & gets all it's power from the PCIE slot.

Its not much over the 1.58 i use for 24/7 use. But Sadasius is right, it was only for a validation then revert voltages back to what i used to keep them.
