Those with X2 6000+, whats your OverClock and Temps?

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

I think rob is here only for fx51... nothing else.
f61

too late, he's gone

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.

I read these threads and some of them really make me laugh, dont get me wrong i loved when my opteron 165 running at 3ghz stomped on intels p4's. But intel answered back, now i build alot of small htpc's and i can say with first had experience that i have to overclock a x2 3800 to about 2200 mhz to run the same hd movie that a e4300 does at 1800mhz. and these are both very similer systems the amd is running on a asus board based with the onboard x1200 and the e4300 is on a abit with onboard x1200. Now what makes me kinda sad is when I take that cheap e4300 throw it in a cheap gigabyte ds3 run it at stock voltages and clock it to 3200mhz, then watch it play games quite a bit better than my amd does.

But my point is how can you really compare older technology, lets just hope amd can compete in the future, really we win when there is competition.

and so everyone knows I was and deep down still a amd fanboy but I have to put my differences aside and in my opinion a e4300 running with a 266fsb and reduced votages is a great balance of speed and energy efficiency and all my customers and wallet are pretty happy in the end.

Big fu**in' LOL at you

On the Scene of CPU's, the most bragging rights come from taking the crappiest binned CPU and pushing it beyond the most expensive binned gives you bragging rights.
Which retard takes a 1000$ CPU and overclocks it to a 1200$ CPU??
When most of us are taking a 100$ CPU and pushing it to the Stock 1000$ CPU or better

Because he can

I think that's why at least some of us here do that. That and bragging rights.

You don't get it.. he claims he didn't care about getting extra performance (going Core 2 Duo E6600 instead of Athlon64 X2 6000+) but then is trying to overclock his CPU for extra performance.

In other words he chose AMD not because he didn't care about Intel's extre performance but because he's a fanboy.

There are several ways to get bragging rights. The two biggest ones are extracting the most performance out of a cheap CPU- exactly like you said, and the other is simply getting the highest performance possible. The latter often involves $1000+ CPUs because generally the best CPUs end up getting the best overclocks. You can also get some bragging rights for overclocking a particular model or line of CPU more than anybody else, such as the guy who got 8+ GHz on the P4 Cedar Mill a while ago. Sure, a Core 2 Duo on liquid nitrogen will stomp the P4, but it was the fastest that anybody had gotten a P4. The X2 6000+ is the top-line X2 and wouldn't be a bad one to try and get the highest overclock on a K8 as it has a pretty high (and downwards-adjustable) multiplier and doesn't cost an arm and a leg to replace if it fries.

@Elmo: The OP's _first_ post didn't seem to be much of a fanboy post as there really hasn't been all that much said about the overclocking potential of the higher-end Windsors past the handful of FX-74 reviews. The only people overclocking AMDs these days are either using older 939 chips like the venerable Opty 165 or the low-end Brisbanes and Windsors that cost well under a C-note. I'd personally like to see how the far the X2 6000+ goes, just for hoots and grins. The 6000+ overclocked would probably not beat an X6800 at stock as that would take roughly 3.5-3.6 GHz to do and I doubt he'd get there. It's more of an academic exercise, if you get my drift.

And about the fanboy bit: yeah, that comment about the one extra FPS did come off that way. There are quite a few fanboys on these forums, but it's not that big of a problem as long as they don't skunk up threads too badly, such as the second post in this thread would have if it didn't get deleted. it just needs to be kept in check. I think that most fanboys are pretty much deluding themselves...but it's their money, not mine. When it is my money, I buy what's the best value for the money or what has the features I need, regardless of who makes it. That sort of explains why I've never had two computers in a row with the same CPU maker since AMD stopped making Intel chips- the two companies tend to leapfrog each other in bang/buck every so often.

i'll probably get shot for posting this because of my main system (yes, it is an e4300...) but in my lan party rig i have a X2 5600+ running at 3.25Ghz @ 1.475Vcore, 33oC idle/52oC load. On an Asus M2A-MVP board, running 2x X1950Pros in crossfire (picked em up for $100 each in a bargain bucket somewhere). The same day i had read www.digital-daily.com/video/x1950pro_crossfire/ so i saw how good of a deal x1950pros were for $200, compared to a single 8800GTS320 for $270-280

Hey im kida of new to OC but i just over clocked my 4600 from a 2.4 to a 2.9 is that good are is that avrage im not sure the temp is usly 46c-47c.
Could i overclock higher if i put a 6000 heat sink on it?
