What's the max I can do? Currently I was using 2.2ghz (stock), but am now using 2.6ghz on air. So basically now my CPU is a FX-62
i dont know exacatly. every cpu is different. My opty 170 (
(click for stepping)) will run at stock volts up to 2.65 GHz, with a 0.1V increase it up to 2.8GHz (all prime 95 stable). i havent tried any further becasue i dont need any extra speed, but i can defenetely push it a bit further as my load temps @ 2.8GHz are about 43°C. Hope that helps.
It does. I really don't know about overclocking too much, but I heard that you need more voltage if you want it higher. 2.6 ghz is the max I've tried.
So your saying If I up the voltage to + 0.1V mine
probably should O/C to about 2.8 ghz?
What he's saying is that it is possible, and that is probably what you would have to do to do it. You can't say anything should do anything out of spec. If it can't overclock, then you have a perfect example. If it can, you have a better than the spec sheet describes. Seems like this is one of the few instances where an industry actually underestimates the performance on their products.
Should? no. Possible? definitely.
