anyone know the safe v-core for a athlon x2 6000?
i have it a 1.45 now but i hear they are good up 2 1.55 as long as they are under 60c
is this true?

1.5V is a bit safer.

But for how long? Some individual chips can handle voltage better than others. 1.5V is considered to be a universally safe voltage for X2's. Any higher, and it depends strictly on your individual chip.

Oh a little over 5 hours running 3dMark and Orthos. Then had to leave the house and didn't want it running while I was out.

5hrs at that voltage is enough to prove stability, but not near long enough to prove safety. It's generally accepted that 1.57V is not ok for 24/7 usage. The chip will usually die a premature death at those voltages. Doing it here and there shouldn't hurt it tho. I've run my 6000+ and 6400+ @ 1.65V for benching, but I would never, EVER, try to run it that way 24/7.

When I say 1.5V is safe, I mean in terms of 24/7 usage. I'll go as high as my cooling permits me for bench runs tho.

I run it at 3.4 ghz 24/7 @ 1.49 volts..

1.65 volts wow. I didnt want to go as high as I did. I dont know that I would go that high. Was it safe to go to 1.65?

Do you think that I should back it down a little?

Nah, 1.49V is safe.

And no, it's not safe to push 1.65V. lol.

well i had no luck pushing mine that high i could even get it stable at 3.4:banghead:
but i guess ill just have to play with it a little more, the highes stable i could get was 3.333
not to impressed over 3.0 but ill keep trying

@bytor
what was your mem voltage set at?
and was your ht link at 5x or what?

jbunch07,

The Memory is @ 2.21 volts for the Bench run with the memory running at 1168 mhz.

The HT link was in auto and was running at 1595 mhz. I did play around with setting it at 800 mhz and 600 mhz but found leaving it in auto was my best choice.

i have the same case how did you do the window mod?

About 6 years ago I bought a couple of window kits from http://www.xoxide.com/ and used one of those nibbler plier things to cut them out (I'll never do that again). It takes some time to put the windows in, but they turned out nice I think.

How long i need to stress my pc with prime95? 30 minutes? 1 hour?
As long as you can. Set it to run before you go to bed, then let it run all night. When you wake up, check to see if it's still running, if not, you need to change something. If it is running, great. Let it keep running while you go to work or school (whichever applies), then recheck it when you get back. If it's still running, you can probably call that stable. But no, 1 hour is not enough.

But keep in mind, it might be stable with a stress program for days on end, but the OC might still cause app crashes and glitches. The only true way to test for stability is to use it like you normally would, and see if anything is unstable. Those stability testing programs are only to give you a general idea.

I know that's a fairly vague answer, but unfortunately, that's as specific as it can get. There are no set amounts.
