Finally got around to doing this:

Validation link:

Water FTW. Load temps at 4.5 are about the same as my old Q6600 @ 3.0 on air.
Currently doing Prime95 in blend mode. 8 hours done and so far it's stable.

Nice! I like! What's the water cooling setup?

splerdu · « **Reply #22 on:** January 27, 2014, 12:56:51 AM »

Thermaltake's Water 2.0, but I replaced the rad with a BlackIce unit I got from TNT2bluz a couple of years back.

4.5 is super easy for this chip, didn't even have to raise voltage. Gonna try taking it to 5.0 on the weekend, but first things first, when this stability test finishes it's time figure out SVID and offset voltage so I can get a proper 24/7 setup that doesn't compromise on idle power.

Testing at 4.5GHz pretty much done. 45x105 is Prime-stable at 1.3V

Took it back down to 4.3GHz for 24/7 running with x43/x42/x41/x40 turbo ratios for 1/2/3/4-core turbo. VID at 1.23V and offset of +50mV to give 1.28V at 4.3GHz. Drops down nicely to 1V when idling at x12.

Update:
Settled down to an all-core turbo ratio of x43. After monitoring for a few days it seems my max temp on regular use is 53°C

Last time I OCed was back in around 2006...with the details of that OCed rig in my sig.
And that rig (used by the kids) finally died on me January 2014...not bad, it lived a rich fruitful life.

Recently built AMD FX6300 on Asus M5A97 R2 with MSI 5850. Its going to be the replacement family PC, bumigay na yung lumang family PC, nag o-overheat na laptops ng mga bata.

Buhay pa mga tao dito? hehe Naglalaro lang with old hardware. Unlocked Sempron 145

Boot stable

i prefer not to overclock cause i do not want to shorten the life of my hardware

Yup same here.

^Baloney!
2 of my units have been OC'd for the past 5yrs!
they become obsolete before breaking down.

zer0 · « **Reply #29 on:** October 02, 2015, 03:29:23 PM »

my processor is oc'd since 2012. processors are very durable when it comes to overclocking pero different story when you talk about graphics cards.

splerdu · « **Reply #30 on:** October 02, 2015, 11:18:01 PM »

Both CPU and GPU overclocked and running 24/7, but I did the OC properly so they still downclock when idle.

GTX670 @ 1200MHz max boost, 324MHz idle.
i7-3820 @ 4.3GHz/1.28V all-core turbo, 1200MHz/1.068V idle

24/7 overclock as well on my i5-3570k @ 4.5 GHz. my old Q6600 and E5400 did 3.0Ghz and 3.6Ghz respectively 24/7 and yeah, they were obsolete before they broke down. ung board pa, needed new caps after 5 years and it ran for 2 more before I retired them

i2mp · « **Reply #32 on:** October 08, 2015, 07:37:34 PM »

my new MB has a manual knob for overclocking, everything is automatic (according to the instruction manual). Will try it one of these days.

^ Doing that will likely end up with having too much voltage pumped into your CPU unnecessarily.

hindi naman siguro, im sure they tested this functionality

Very nostalgic, but alas I am no longer overclocking

wheelee · « **Reply #37 on:** December 03, 2015, 05:45:58 PM »

..oh those where the days, when you pushed a celeron to it's limits BUT alas! it's still a celeron lol

splerdu · « **Reply #38 on:** December 03, 2015, 06:53:26 PM »

Dude! Those early Celerons were the bomb. Pentium II had an off-chip cache, so the 300A oc'd to 450 was actually faster than the real Pentium II 450

Also, Intel didn't bother with disabling stuff, so those same Celerons could run in SMP when given a server board to work with. Glory days of unlocking and overclocking when tweaks resulted in very real performance increases and genuine bang for the buck. These days you have to start off with the top of the line K chips before you can even begin to OC.

wheelee · « **Reply #39 on:** December 04, 2015, 02:21:04 PM »

nowadays we can get our OC'd speed before with default settings
