Im not much of an OCer just curious to know who has what temps and what cooling with their 6000+. I use the Zalman 9500 and slightly OCed to 3.1 Ghz stable with Average temps on both cores around 45C at idle. I only raised the FSB to get 3.1 and left everything else to auto. What is everyone else doing with theirs, and how long has yours been stable at your setting. Also whats the highest speed anyone has tried...Thanks.

Not interested in C2D or that much overclocking my question was for 6000+ owners and not lowly E4300 owners. My processor is more in line with the E6600 anyway. C2D isnt all that by the way. I just prefer Amd always have always will, all games play just fine for me at 1920 x 1200 24 inches of glory maxed settings, I dont need 1 more frame per sec with a Intel.

Its people like robspimpin8800 that give c2d owners a bad name.. I cant stand reading threads where people just come out of nowhere and say how awesome their C2D is versus any other processor. I dont recall seeing where the OP asked or said anything about the C2D, so why bring it up??

I own a C2D and its a great chip.. but i do have to say i think i'd take the 6000+ over an E4300. An E6600 is a different story.

Good to hear from your side of it. By the way what do you use to get your GTS at those speeds and is it stable while I got ya here.

We got my roommates to 3.2 stable (by stable I mean it has worked for about a week with no problems...he wont stress test it) with a zlaman 9700 and similar temps to urs with 55 - 56 on load, we even booted at 3.5ghz, but it would load a webpage without restarting. vcore is 1.425 i think.

Best,

Ill put my system against your E4300 any day of the week, that cpu at 3 Ghz is not the same speed as mine by any means. Ive never had a 4300 as Im sure you dont have a 6000+ in front of you now, so looking at the data I would say that a 4300 is more in line with a X2 3800 give or take not even close to mine in performance. Why even bother posting useless comments,help me out REAL C2D owners and tell em. Im just looking for comments from 6000+ owners not cheap intel fanboys wasting my time with their low budget unimpressive cpu comments.

Ummm, then why are you trying to overclock your 6000+?

Woah there dude!

To put this at an end... an E4300 oc'ed to 3GHz will beat an AMD Athlon64 X2 6000+ any day. But the question the OP asked was how high could he OC his 6000+. Well I suppose you got your answer.. NOT THAT HIGH. It's, as you put it in your own words, an unimpressive low budget newbie fanboy processor.

Kuddos for buying an AMD CPU but seriously you should have set aside the fanboyism and gone Intel if your intentions were to OC.

This thread is about as useless as t!ts on a bull.

I just did a quick upgrade from FX-51 to X2 6000.


I OC the X2 with the original fanSK to 3.30 Stable the TEMP is around 31C idle and 44C-52C w/load.

I have to change Mobos- i had the ATI 9800XT w/ the FX 51 (AGP Flavor) with sk8n MB. I update my Gr card to X1950 pro. (AGP).

A few months later i found an MB with AGP/PCI-E slot (AM2)

Bought it with some ram and the X2.

I have not use any program to test stability.
Just play, play and play and run benchmark. without any problem.

If you have any recommendation of any program let me know.
I am currently learning how to OC art.

Don't be such a self-important know-it-all jerk. You don't even own the E4300 and you are talking shit like yours doesn't stink.

Just because people by AMD doesn't make them morons or jerks (like yourself) The stocker E6600 is essentially the same as the AMD. If people overclock, then great, if not, so what?

Just because it's AMD doesn't mean it is a piece of crapola... Remember the Pentuim D 805 would OC to 4Ghz but a lot of people don't want to strain their processors like that and shorten their life cycle, they just want fast out of the package without the hassles and bullsh*t

Soldier37 -

My X2 5200 will max out at 3.108 Ghz and then it kinda craps out. Thats at 1.4Vcore... don't want to push it much higher.

I'm running now at 2.9Ghz all day and it's perfectly happy.

Temps are -- Core 30 degrees idle and 39 degrees 100% load
If I enable Cool n Quiet it drops the core to 17 degrees celcius and still keeps the higher FSB - I just set that on the fly with power management in Vista.

Thats w/Thermaltake Ultra 120 Extreme....

I think rob is here only for fx51... nothing else.

:?:

too late, he's gone

sorry fx51, the minute U-no-hu saw the upgrade, and o/c, dramatic attitude adjustment. Lets say it was not about NV/Intel, but how to get more from AMD by divulging your methods.

carry on with op.

I use rivatuner, just cranked it up.. nothing else is modded, fan is at 75%, even at auto no problems.

ran 3dmark 2006 loops at 675/2080 for about 20 mins. but didnt leave it there.
