How Much OC on Athlon64 3000+???

[Guttboy]

Hi Everyone!

I am running an AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Socket 754. I have managed to get an easy 10% OC. I have tweaked it up a bit more and am at about 12.5% now. I am running stock cooling on the chip and no voltage increase.

Soooooo......what have any of you done with yours????

Regards!:D

Cdawall runs 2.45GHZ on his. I got my venice to 2.4, but those are better clockers.

Dont have one but check here (http://forums.techpowerup.com/showpost.php?p=247301&postcount=1171) for cdawall's

LOL JC got there first..

[Guttboy]

WOW...thanks guys! Im gonna see how far I can push it with stock cooling...heheheh....

Yeah, I know. I think he is crazy if he is doing that on air.

[Guttboy]

Can you say "fried Eggs"....lol

[oily_17]

Had my 3200+ at 5.25V on air but dont fancy any more LOL

[lufrey]

I managed to achieve 2.6GHz on my 3000+, using 1.5v and peltier cooler. I could get it higher, but stability became an issue above this.

[acousticlemur]

i can get 2.7 with my 939, but it's not so stable, but i am running it at 2.4 with out a problem. i dont know how big of a diferance mine being a 939 instead of a 754 has to do with it though...

Oh yeah, mine is a s939 btw. Socket types shouldn't matter though.

thats 1.71V stock cooled i just used that to boot dropped it to 1.66v in windows thru a64 info

thats on stock PIB cooling still only running @35C on the core :D

[lufrey]

Impressive. Not sure how long your CPU will last though. You must have your case open with the AC on, or live in Alaska.

none of the above :D case is closed AC is off and i live in texas
though i downclocked it in windows after posting that pic

Amazing if it's true. I can't get anywhere close to that on the stock cooler.

[cdawall]

here is coretemps log with the cpu running sandra XIb tests

[cdawall]

ok i looked up your board gutless and it is almost identical to mine (mine runs higher volts for the cpu and DRAM) but you shouldn't half to worry much about that i would shoot for around 2.4ghz @1.55 volts or so (assumiing you have a newcastle or clawhammer that should be about right)

My 3000+ is a Venice core unit. I did get my 3000+ using Peltier cooling, and it is stable at 2.6GHz @ 1.5v. I haven't tried it with my Zalman 9700, which would be an interesting test. With the Zalman cooler, I could probably get it up to 2.4GHz and fairly stable, but there is no way with the stock AMD cooler, which is a piece of cr@p.

If I can be bothered, I'll see if I can find that 3000+, if I can remember where I put the d@mn thing.

[cdawall]

i have had 2 newcastles do 2.4ghz+ 2.48ghz on the 1st(due to lack of volts i could have oc'd higher on this for sure) and my current one @ 2.45ghz both on PIB coolers

my old one http://img.techpowerup.org/070127/cpuza.jpg
2.47ghz on a PIB and you have already seen my new one

I've only got cheap RAM on my PC, to clock my 3000+ to 2.6GHz, I had to use RAM dividers. If I had better quality RAM, I know I can get it higher.

that used DDR2100 so know all about ram dividers

I bought a cheap MB to experiment with just the other day. Its an Asrock 939SLI32-eSataII, I'll see if I can find my old 3000+ and how far I can clock it. The only limitation is the voltage settings, doesn't go anywhere near the voltage allowed on my DFI mb.

well thats no fair s939 is cheating :D

[lufrey]

Hopefully I won't fry my new Asrock mb.

Well my Athlon64 3000+ venice core socket 939 does 9x300=2700 with 1.45V on mine Asrock 939 Dual sata2 mobo. And i am currently thinking if i should do a volt mod in the near future to get some more juice fore the core. Somewhere around 1.55V for 2800+mhz should do it wright;)

Nice. I saw the variable volt mod (using a potentiometer) on this site somewhere. What kind of CPU cooler are you using?

[DRDNA]

I have a 3400+with the baby cache and i run her at 2.6 all day and bench her between 2.6 and 2.8 ...she is frozen though:laugh:

I have a 3700+ in same rig only gets 100+MHZ that one has the big momma cache ,she tops out around 2.97 in stabilty:D :D

[cdawall]

funny how this thread became a post your AMD oc results page :roll:

oh well to put it back on track you could try these settings on yours
http://img.techpowerup.org/070127/allday.jpg

NOTE-this is undevolted on the cpu i can prolly get the undervolt even lower but have not tried temps on the stock cooler are 33C idle 42C load using Sandra XIb arithmetic test 3 times

[freakshow]

i got my amd 64 3000+ at 2.7Ghz at 1.5v on a K8N Neo4-F

i also took off my IHS off too ran great until sold it lol

Well im using Thermaltake k8 silent boost with a revoltec blue led fan insted of the stock fan and i get temps around 40 in idle and im not shure how much on load. And the mod i will probably do on mine mobo will be this one http://www.ocworkbench.com/2005/asrock/reviews/939dual-sata2/vcoremodguide2.htm to get the cpu voltage up to 1.55V i just need to get a conductive paint ore something simmilar because i dont want to solder anything yet and some time to do the mod;)

[Guttboy]

CDAwall,

Were you telling me to try those settings?

yes 240*9 @ stock volts should be good for a 1st try if you have good ddr400 try 1:1 (loosening timings of course) if not drop it back to a 333mhz divider

lol finally pushed my chip up to 2.5ghz :D

oh and still on stock cooling :D

[FujiwaraTakumi]

How is it that my 3000+ not overclocked is running at temps around 70C with a stock heatsink and cooler? The fan's working at full throttle I believe. Any suggestions aside from an aftermarket cooler?

Whoah, with a stock cooler and no OC @ 70C, there is a problem there. You better check that you have put some thermal paste between your heatsink and CPU. You will need to clean off the old thermal paste that comes with the stock cooler, and re-apply some aftermarket stuff. That's the only thing I can think of that can cause such a problem, unless your thermal sensor is faulty.

[cdawall]

75C is the max thermal so you really are pushing that chip new thermal paste probably the issue or bad clip on the mobo

take a can of compressed air and clean out the fins of the heatsync !!! be carefull not to nock any wires off in the process and be sure you unplugg the pc and disharge the pc by holding the power button on for a count aof 30 seconds before you start to clean !!!.:toast:

I agree with that. My Athlon XP 2200 was running at 60*c once and it was due to the heatsink being clogged with dust. Once I cleaned it out, I was running 30*C again.

[AshenSugar]

havent met a 3000+ i couldnt get 2.55-2.65 out of on stock cooling.

that is with a decetnt overclocking board, looks like the posters board is via based, so clockings very hit and miss, i stick with nvidia based for 754/939 overclocking, just a better allaround exp to avoid via

Thanks guys. When I went to do this, I noticed the clamp wasn't completely secured on the heat sink. I figured that was probably the source of my problem, but I cleaned the fins anyways. Put everything back together and now my temps are hovering around 42C. Man, I can't believe the latch wasn't secured. Any idea how many years I just lobbed off my processor running it around 75C for a month?

[AshenSugar]

um, if it was stable, probbly no usefull years of life where lost, really by the time a cpu dies most times the systems so old its only good for VERY old lagacy games, even from high overclocking with blah cooling.

I guess that would depend on how hard you pushed it (what games/apps you ran and for how long). Hopefully it shouldn't have dramatically reduced the life, but who knows.

he an expect 2.44ghz 24/7 on the via mobo i have the same chipset (basically the same mobo really)
