That's pretty good micauoette. Do you get more real performance with a little less clock/voltage and more northbridge?
I would think it would run a little warm at that voltage.
Doh! dual w/c loops. never mind..
My next move is up to an 8350 I think. Should be a nice bump with a reasonable 24/7 OC.
Is it stable enough to leave it like that all the time?

At exroofer, unfortunatly the northbridge doesn't clock very well on my chip. 2600Mhz was as high as I could get it within reasonable voltages.
So far the overclock is very stable it is near the thermal boundries in prime95 even with the 480mm of rad space in push pull config with a TEC assisting with cooling the water.
I can't tell if my screenshot above worked from this work computer but I'll try and remember to come back and check tonight.
And at cemerian, could you give us a screenshot of prime95 or occt after running for two hours so we can see temps and verify stability. Just like my post above.

You can see the difference a NB increase makes by running Cinebench 11 benchmark
I have my Phenom II X 6 1100T Black at 2800mhz on auto voltage
I think I could hit 3000 mhz but havent pushed it
I run 3.8 daily OC but have had it up to 4.1 stable but dont like the temps
right now at 3.8ghz 2800 NB 1600mhz ram 1T 2400 HT and my Old Grandpa CPU still holds it own
the FX series is solid but I dont see a reason to upgrade as I would have to upgrade CPU and motherboard (AM3 currently)
sad to say but I have an Intel 1155 rig with a I5-2400 in it that I will probably upgrade to a 3770K and use that as my main rig
I love my AMD but the Intel upgrade path is a better one right now

Of course you can share results from your fx chip, I only ask that if you claim stability you share a photo proving that stability.
From my testing with cinebench the boost in N/B clock was slightly less meaningful for performance for my fx 8320, when comparing my phenom II 955 and my fx 8320. On the phenom II I would run 2800Mhz N/B with 4.2Ghz core on a day to day basis.
The only reason I upgraded was for the overclocking fun, I got the speed of a fx 9590 (sans turbo core) for 140 bucks. Although it wouldn't have been worth it if I didn't already have everything needed including cooling gear.

CPU: FX-6350
Name: Bjiddle
Stepping: C0
Frequency : 4612mhz
Ref*Multi: 200*23
CPU Voltage: 1.4125
CPU-NB:
NB Frequency: 2600
NB Volts:
RAM: 8gb (2x 4gb) 1600mhz
Motherboard: Asus M5A99FX R2.0
Cooling: Noctua D14 140 & 120mm
OS: Win 7 Ultimate
GFLOPS: 33.3 avg from LinX
Idle Temps: 89-93 F
Temps Under 100% Load (p95): 149-160F
I still get Illegal Sumout Errors in one worker in prime95 after about an hour of testing, and I don't know why. LinX runs fine. Are there any other test(s) you think I should run to test/assure/prove stability?
I'm fairly new to overclocking, I have a Phenom II X4 970 3.5ghz Black Edition that used to be in a custom jawn from HP, but I never overclocked it and the mATX board in it went bad. I build this FX machine in its place. I'd love learn how to make it stable and more about overclocking in general.

Cpu MAY want one more voltage bump to keep that worker from dropping, if temps allow.
Most temps will be quoted in Celsius for easy reference.
Normal useage for most FX chips want to be low 50's C, High 40's arguably for a 24/7 OC with long chip life.
60 C plus is too warm for any length of time. You will see that though under P95 , but no game or w/e is going to generate those temps.
Or you may need to drop the multiplier by .5 at same voltage. And live with a slightly lower clock.
Still nothing to sneeze at there.
Don't forget to ramp fan speeds up some for this.

Idle at 4.6ghz at the voltage listed, it was around 40c or 100-105F. Under gaming load I've seen it at 118F, and imagine it tops around 125-130F (I don't know that in Celsius, I'll try to refer to temps in C in the future). I have a Noctua D14 with two fans sitting on my FX chip and four other fans in my case, and a nice NZXT Sentry 2 fan controller.
What are the highest temperatures I should tolerate in P95 (or other tests) before I stop them or back down the voltage? I ask because P95 sometimes runs for hours, mostly at 60+C, the hottest being 71C.
Edit: with the voltage bump you posited, its testing now and the highest temp i've seen is 75C, I'll let it run for an hour and keep and eye on the temp, and see if it fails or plows ahead.

What I go by for fx chips is 72C cpu case temp max and 62C for max core temp. Those are prime temps too, for everyday usage and gaming I like to stay below 55C.
You're are probably losing that core due to the voltage not being high enough could also be the Northbridge overclock though, you never told us the cpu-N/B voltage you're using.

So that final voltage bump fixed the worker problem! Ran for two hours without any errors, but reached a max temp of 75C. Despite that, its idling around 90F and hovered around 110 playing Crysis.
Guess I'll lower the multiplier just to be safe?
Slightly disappointed my Noctua heatsink doesn't do the job for the OC I was aiming for.
CPU/NB voltage is left on auto, which had it at 1.45 I think? And with CPU/NB LLC on Extreme. Sorry about leaving that out, I'll update it shortly!

have any one tried thermoelectric cooler to speedup the process of heat transfer from cpu to heatsink ( we do spend on good thermal paste so this thermo cooling may bot be that bad ) ?

Ultra had one for a while called the Ultra chillTEC i don't own one but from reviews it was a decent performer(nearly on par with water) but was cost prohibitive

Anyone want to do an Insane OC Cinebench run against my Phenom II x 6 1100T Black Edition?
I want to see how the old girl does in mortal kombat?
need to post screenies
stability doesnt matter just as long as you can pull off a mulithread Cinebench 11.5 run and get a screenshot

king will need atleast 4.4GHz on 1100t to match that 7.87 score
mine best try was 7.21 @4.05GHZ on 1090t ( 2.7ghz nb/ht, 1.8ghz cl9 ram)

well I barely beat your 1090T at least lol
you get it up to 4.1 and we would have the same score or you might even beat me

Agreed, if i had one of these 6 core thubans instead of athlon x4, probably would not have gotten my self a fx 8120 when it came out, the single threaded performance was better on thubans, but then again i went for fx 8350 just for the overclock, by the way out of curiosity why didn't you want to use cinebench r15?

I can almost run the bench at 4.2 but I am 1.565 volts doing it and I wont go higher than that
they are same chip
we only need to hit right settings
i had mine @4.05GHz using 212evo p/p, but it was too big for my cabinet thus not using it now
i am limited by my board, i combined many techniques to get every last mhz out of my system in every aspect ( like vrm cooling, out of cabinet run, pics below)

hi guys can you help me? i have an fx 6300 and msi 880gms e41fx mobo with gammax s40 cooler. and im having high temps. i clocked it at 4.1ghz without messing up the voltage. just the multiplier.
hi guys i have 3 scenarios
picture 1 https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/...
AMD Stability test. no problems with stability never had an error 100% usage
coretemp says temp is 39C
AMD overdrive says 30.8C
picture 2 https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/...
Prime 95 test. didnt have an error
coretemp 41C
hwmonitor 41C
amd overdrive 28.6
picture 3 this is insane https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/...
still no errors but further tests maybe test 5
amd overdrive 185C
coretemp 255C
hwmonitor 206C
and i also have an idle photo but didnt upload it
AMD 53.9C
Coretemp 16C
Hwmonitor 16C
guys do you think my temps are credible? is it possible to go as high as 255 and not burn the chip and not create errors? i think when i have those insane temps, it lasted 5-10 mins before i got
scared and stopped prime95.
im also running the amd stability test right now
amd overdrive 29C
hwmonitor 41C
coretemp 41C
and im wondering cause if i hit that 200C+ shouldnt my mobo melted already?

For starters, uninstall AMD OverDrive. The program is very buggy, and causes issues and can probably cause hardware failure. (And it doesn't cover damage anyways, even though it is provided by AMD) But I hope you are using the BIOS while overclocking.
Second, I feel as the probes/sensors are bad or your programs are conflicting with each other causing bad reading. If your CPU reached 90*C it would have died instantly-and AMD has a safety feature inside which throttles the CPU when it over heats if it is not turned off. I forgot the name. And your computer would of turned off as well if it really got too hot for your hardware's protection.
I would have been amazed if your computer reached 200*C and worked
let alone didn't melt because plastic:Quote:
The melting point of HDPE (High Density Polyethelyne) is about 130 ºC The melting point of LDPE (Low Density Polyethelyne) is about 110 ºC
The melting point of PET (Polyethylene terphthalate) is about 250—260 ºC
The melting point of PP (Polypropylene) is about 160—170 ºC
The melting point of PS (Polystyrene) is about 70—115 ºC
The melting point of PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is about 75—90 ºC
But 53*C is really hot for idle, and without voltage changes. I'm guessing you have faster RAM causing higher memory bus usage (which is in the CPU now). But regardless, that is very hot. If you have a stock cooler, don't overclock. 62*C for FX series s the safe temperature but people go to 70*C.
And your pictures don't load.
EDIT:
My preferred way of running Prime95 for maximum heat is:
Options>Torture Test
- Custom
- Min FFT 4096
- Cores All
- Memory, as much as you have available.
This will use all your RAM and use the memory bus more which creates more heat on top of your CPU being used 100%.

For starters, uninstall AMD OverDrive. The program is very buggy, and causes issues and can probably cause hardware failure. (And it doesn't cover damage anyways, even though it is provided by AMD) But I hope you are using the BIOS while overclocking.
Second, I feel as the probes/sensors are bad or your programs are conflicting with each other causing bad reading. If your CPU reached 90*C it would have died instantly-and AMD has a safety feature inside which throttles the CPU when it over heats if it is not turned off. I forgot the name. And your computer would of turned off as well if it really got too hot for your hardware's protection.
I would have been amazed if your computer reached 200*C and worked
let alone didn't melt because plastic:Quote:
The melting point of HDPE (High Density Polyethelyne) is about 130 ºC The melting point of LDPE (Low Density Polyethelyne) is about 110 ºC
The melting point of PET (Polyethylene terphthalate) is about 250—260 ºC
The melting point of PP (Polypropylene) is about 160—170 ºC
The melting point of PS (Polystyrene) is about 70—115 ºC
The melting point of PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is about 75—90 ºC
But 53*C is really hot for idle, and without voltage changes. I'm guessing you have faster RAM causing higher memory bus usage (which is in the CPU now). But regardless, that is very hot. If you have a stock cooler, don't overclock. 62*C for FX series s the safe temperature but people go to 70*C.
And your pictures don't load.
EDIT:
My preferred way of running Prime95 for maximum heat is:
Options>Torture Test
- Custom
- Min FFT 4096
- Cores All
- Memory, as much as you have available.
This will use all your RAM and use the memory bus more which creates more heat on top of your CPU being used 100%.
my idle temp
is 53 based on amd overdrive
but on hwmonitor and coretemp is 16
yeah i overclock in my bios. and tried touching the heatsink while reading is 255C for about 10 mins. my heat sink isnt hot at all. a little bit hot. but not to the point i cant touch it. i even can touch it the whole day. btw im using gammax s40 as a cooler
and i only have 4gbx2 g skills ripjaws 1333 9-9-9-24

seidon maybe better cause it is liquid cooling and more expensive, but i dont mind going for the x6 if it can still get the job done with decent temps thanks!!

I wanted to post my OC on here right now (My lunch hour) but my damn internet at home stopped working -_- When I get home I will post up all of my stuff. Last night I ran prime95 stably for a little over 7 hours. I am running an FX-8120 @4.1GHz @1.4125v with a 212 evo and my temps didn't go over 50c
