disturbed Posted March 22, 2006 CID Share Posted March 22, 2006 ....i get 2mb over my cap, but thats not the point im gonna show off a different kind of a score and share my experience couple of monhts back I was working on overclocking my Amd 3700+ 64bit processor - that didnt go too well - i couldnt achieve stability past 3.0GHz (the processor runs stock at 2.2GHz) since the software that I use for monitoring the voltage and temperature was not very precise (...very common) so i decided - im gonna take a program like mbm and hack it up and make it help my overclock - since then, i have measured all rail voltages with a DMM, i have measured all temperatures with a self made temp. probe device and an infrared thermometer - I have added the necessary offset to the programs and now they all display the correct temperature/voltage *I have also measured vcore directly on the motherboard - which has helped me a lot I have also taken the liberty from taking every single fan lead and disconnnecting it from the motherboard (to further my stability) - hooked it up to a modified fan controller and here are my results after a month of testing and what not.... 2.72Ghnz @ 1.36 vcore (undervolted !!!) 248MHz fsb X 11 multiplier (i use 4 for the fsb/ldt ratio multiplier) ram is running 1:1 with the fsb @ 496MHz idle temperature is 26c and full load temperature is 37c The setup is completely stable (tested and confirmed) - my actual goal is to hit ~3.0 on air and maybe try 3.2-3.3 when ocz cryo comes out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richcornucopia Posted March 22, 2006 CID Share Posted March 22, 2006 Nice work. Right now im at 2.9(Opteron 148) stable 24/7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disturbed Posted March 22, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 22, 2006 thank you - opterons are awesome - my next processor is most likely going to be an opteron - most likely a different socket though, since it wont be another year or more untill i replace this setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richcornucopia Posted March 22, 2006 CID Share Posted March 22, 2006 Yea, im not replacing this system until I make the jump to dual, or quad core and maybe another opteron. A ram upgrade or two, along with a new hardrive(a big one, think tb) should last me awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disturbed Posted March 22, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 22, 2006 yeah.....i definitely want to get into dual core opterons - might be quad core by then hehehehhe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richcornucopia Posted March 22, 2006 CID Share Posted March 22, 2006 I was really close to getting the opteron 165 but just didnt have the money at the time so I went with the 148 which I am happy with. 2.9ghz is better than an fx57 and I got it for 230 at newegg right before they jacked up the prices.
