A64 OC Database & Overclock Guide

sounds like you need a better motherboard.

I love both of my DFI NF4 SLI boards.
 
First post!

ADA3000DAA4BW
LBBWE 0533 FPDW

9*291 = 2619 1.5v, stock cooler

Now can someone tell me the revision of my CPU is? 'BW' isn't listed in Eclipse's FAQ and the revision box in cpu-z is grayed out.

And isn't Prime95 a bitch? I can easily do 305*9 = 2745 and play games and stuff for hours, but P95 fails within minutes. Running at 49c so better cooling may be in order.
 
Thanks for that, I thought it might be an E6.

I've definitely got cpu-z v1.30 though, don't know why it can't id my venice properly.
 
w00t for optys!

CABNE 0530APMW

Batch #144

Currently cooking at 2.9Ghz, 1.4v. Rock solid stable with a Zalman CNPS-7700-Cu, 42c load. I've got a god of a chip it appears, but I am ram limited. 3ghz is possible, though I only booted winders in it to say I did. I have to run a super dividor on my ram, so its not practicle for 24/7 use.
 
From eWiz:

OSA146DAA5BN
CABYE 0536GPMW
1304557I50137

Right now running 2.75GHZ stable as a rock. Was stable at 2.8GHZ and 2.85GHZ but got too warm for my tastes (need a better cooler and don't want to spend more money right now). Voltage at 2.75 is 1.5V, on 2.8 and 2.85 it was 1.52V.

Temps idle are around 39C and 52C load. On 2.85 they were 41C idle and 55C load.

I'm sure with water or XP120 cooler, i could break 2.9 or even 3 GHZ on 1.6V...

All in all i'm very happy with FX speeds, especially because i have 2GB of mem, which is harder to o/c than my previous 1GB.

Okay, got around to some preliminary testing of my 3000+ Venice 0519CPFW . . .

So far I'm sitting @ 2.66GHz with 1.585v stable (295x9; RAM 1:1) on an XP-90C w/ 120mm Delta . . . @ 2.7 GHz (300x9 RAM 1:1) 1.614v Prime95 fails, but I can play Chaos Theory and Quake 4 for a couple hours no prob . . . not bad for a 0519 chip I suppose but I've heard others who have gotten 2.7 GHz w/ 1.58v stable, I'm tempted to try water but I don't really want to mess with my other system right now. Idles are 30C and load temps are 37C @ 1.614v with high fan speed so I don't think heat is an issue.

When I get home, I will try 1.64v and see how far that gets me since heat is not an issue . . . :)

CPU-Z shots

Not bad I suppose for a chip I got on the cheap . . . ;)

good god man! 3.4 ghz!?!? 24 sec 1M time? why is it even necessary!?! hahah thats jsut ridiculous 24/7 living
 
I'll get to 3.5 once i get some timings worked out, and add a water block to the chipset. (phase for the CPU, water for the Vid cards and chipset)

Why?

Well good question, Why do i need to drive a 700hp car everyday? Why does anyone need SLi? Why? Because I can....
 
oh hahaha nah man, the "why" part is jsut the shock reaction, the joy and applause reaction :p i know why. hahahahaha, and im gonna live vicariously thru that speed of yours. :p eclipse is fudgin up tho he aint postin our speeds in the OP.

oh and what 700hp car you drive man? tell me a supra, tell me a r33 or r34 (to realy make me have a heart attack) or is it a gasp, camaro or viper.
 
Gadfly said:
It is a Supra, Here is a short vid:

http://www.gadtek.com/supra/highway.wmv

I am a big fan of the R34, but I still think the Supra is a better car.

I guess I should add that to my sig..

94 Supra Turbo 702hp @ 28psi

hahah i know you arent shocked that i guessed correct on my first choice.... and im very happy for ya. i witnessed a supra flip on a strip... pushin 900hp... heheh i think he underestimated his need of downforce. anyhoo, back home in JA its real serious.

however cant condone the choice of a supra over hte r34. but thats our choices... and you drive one, i drive none heh. dloading vid now ok its done, see ya!

These Supras can be monsters. There was one souped up one (much like Gadfly's) I saw at a car show (Hot Import Nights). While I don't remember the HP details, I remember its license plate reading "VIPRKILR". :D
 
Better make room for the dual core s939 opty's...I have my 165 coming soon ;).

I wonder why the new version of CPU-Z is not showing up on their official Web site. :confused:

cuz its beta.... but at least it reports vcore better.... but someone else pointed out a bug that it didnt work with OLDER athlon64's that well .... im sure it will be sorted out soon enough.

Ahh, I see. Hopefully the bugs will be worked out soon and we'll then see ver. 1.31. :)
 
moved to a DFI mobo and wow.. I have my 3700 sandie (KAB2E 0532XPMW) 2.8ghz priming, 4 hours so far stable @ 1.45 vcore... it's set to 1.45 in the bios, but smart guardian says 1.4v and cpuz says 1.408v.. wow. good times. :)
 
i need a little help here. My venice 3200+ hits the wall in prime 95 @ 2440 but will run prime for over an hour @ 2430. This is will my voltage set @ 1.59. Using a MSI K8N Neo4 SLI and a heat pipe. CPU runs 41*C after 1 hour of prime. The way I run it for daily running is:
270x9 with ram @ 166 (Corsair value select 2.5-3-3-8) anf HT link x5. Runs fine this way. BUT, with the temps so low, I feel it can run faster. I would like to think its my mobo, but Im really not sure. I have tried a 300x8 with ram @ 133 with HT link x4 and x5 and it runs fine thre also, but will still will not run above 2430 with out prime errors.

I use SATA #4 and this board will not post above 239 HTT, have to tweak it in windows. Running latest bios. Any Ideas?

The Neo4 Platinum/SLI board is a tricky board and has frustrated many OC just like you, most boards just seem not to want to post at high HTT.

Also, what's the stepping/week on that Venice? Even my old 3200+ Winchester did 2450 @ 1.54v . . .
 
i have no idea what the stepping/week is. like a retard i put my cooler on with some arctic silver and never looked at the spreader.

Now I have a new problem. I was running benchmarks all night trying to figure out if I wanted to run a faster HTT and lower ram speed or lower HTT and higher ram speed. well, now my cpu craps out around 2350. It dont give me errors in prime, just suddenly reboots. I think i nuked windoze. Tried a few restore points with no luck. Might have to break out ghost and re image my drive. good thing I have all my crap installed in that image.

I think I know why the neo4 dont like to post at high HTT. If I had to guess, it leaves cpu volts low till post. this might be what is causing some of the problems (although lots of people seem to be able to run o/c just fine with almost no voltage).

I might pull the cpu/cooler out and see what my info is. I need to fix my secondary temp sensor anyways. Just dont look forward to cleaning the silver off.

Oh it's easy, as long you have some acetone or 99% isopropyl alcohol, the AS5 comes off pretty easily . . .
 
well, i got my windoze install fixed back up and now it will run a few mhz faster. runs 2452 stable in prime for an hour and still only reaches 41*c with all my fans turned down. I can cool it down to 38*c in 5 mnutes while running prime if I crank up the fans for take off (its LOUD).

Did not pull the cpu out yet. Will do it in a while though. I hope denatured alcohol works to remove AS5, its all I have right now.

"Denatured" alcohol?
 
Just stop by a nail salon and ask to buy a little bottle of acetone. They have pure acetone which i dont think you can buy at regular beauty shops.
 
denatured means they put something else in it. by definition, rubbing alcohol is denatured cuz it has water in it. In most cases though, when you buy alcohol labeled "denatured" it will have ethenol in it. Its so people wont buy it and drink it. It also makes for great utility fuel (like wick lamps or lab burners, or as I use it, to soak wood pellets in to start a fire in my corn heat stove and charcoal grill). I also use it to clean my nitro powered RC trucks since it cuts oil pretty well.

Just thought of something. I have access to pure acetone at work.

So back to my orignal o/c issues. Anyone think its the neo4? Might be a combination of that and my psu. When I set my board to 1.59volts, it really only sends 1.55 and it bounces from 1.53-1.58v. I verified that with two programs. However, prime dont error at any certain voltage. It might error @1.58 or @ 1.53. Dont seem to error at any given voltage. And I guess wth that I just answered my own question about the psu as it is not voltage causing the dump.

Another weird thing I saw while testing. If I run 2.5v on my ram @ 2452 it will give me prime errors in the small test (cpu). I have to run 2.6v on the ram to make it stable. Mem86 test told me ram was good to 231 @ 2.5v with 2.5-3-3-8 (box stock timing) and its running 223 at that speed and timing. Loosening the timing dont help, only voltage. Things that make you go HMMMMM.....

Chris
 
You can pass memtest all night and still not be stable in windows. I rarely use memtest because of this. Im running an X2 with the Neo2 and i have hit a wall at 2.5ghz. Its definitley the board holding me back. Sapphire needs to hurry up and release those mobos here in the US :(. A guy on XS got his gruper to like 340HTT. Thats so sick.
 
here is my cpu info
ADA3200DAA4BP
LBBLE 0524APMW

WEEK 0518
Stepping LBBLE

so here is the info since I was a little off topc:
3200 running 2452 @ 1.55v (average v, it bounces from 1.53-1.58) on heat pipe
HTT 272.5 CPU multiplier 9
Ram divider 5:6 (166) actually 222.9mhz (2.6v)
HT Link multiplier 5
cpu idle temp 32*c prime95 load 41*c (only tested for 1 hour so far on small and 1 hour on blend)

Specs:
A64 3200+
MSI K8N Neo4 SLI
Corsair Value Select 2.5-3-3-8 2T (2gigs)
MSI 6600GT @ 600/1220 box stock
Aspire X-Cruise case, front dual 80mm modded to free flow 80mm x1
Rosewill 500w psu
Aero Cool heatpipe
Samsung 160gig SATA
NEC dual layer DVD burner
PC Toys 4 port fan controller
Thermaltake 120mm fan (blue)
Vantec Tornado 80mm fan (LOUD, hence fan controller)

For what I got into it, its a pretty good system. Way faster than my boner XP2000+ it replaces. Still think there is a lot left in the a64 if I could feed it more volatge.

yeah - watch out for those boards... a few peeps have had their cpus killed by them... there's some talk at XS about it.. the grouper and the DFI xfire board also.. bizarre!
 
Well, heres my latest fun.

Opteron 144
CAB2E 0540 FPMW

I really believe that my DFI NF4-D is holding this back as well. ROck solid stable at 320HTT freq, but any more and I get random reboots.
1.08Ghz Overclock. On 1.45v Air Cooled XP-120 w/ Med Panaflo



Oh, and my 3700+ Sand DIego is now in an RDX200 CF-DR at 2860 24/7 Stable. If you care to update that CPS as well. 1.61v
 
Update: I am now running my 3700+ sandie in my (previously an MSI neo4 sli plat) DFI 'ut' SLI-D mobo @ 2860 stable with only 1.4v! believe it or don't... I will take some screenshots tonight.. been too busy to re-capture any decent prime95 sessions.. *sigh* but this is the kab2e 0532xpmw chip... a couple of others with this same stepping/week are getting 3ghz on 1.53 vcore. crazy.. I am waiting a couple more days for my AS5 to set before doing any serious OCing... but hell, I am personally content with 2.86ghz w/ 1.4 vcore. lol. All this chip needed was some smooth power, and the DFI is delivering. :)

EDIT: the 1.4 I speak of is set 1.45v in the bios, but cpuz and SG say 1.408v, and 1.4v respectively. hrm...

Running it at 250x10 at stock volts on air - XP-90 @ 29c in normal Windows environment.
running ram 1:1 2-3-3-7 1T 250mhz 2.8v

That's as high as it would go without upping the cpu voltage. Might give it a try when time allows. ;)

you say stock voltage, but the stock voltage can vary between 1.3 and 1.35v. i'm assuming the latter for now. let me know.

ok, with all that out of the way, it's been updated. the people i quoted above.. i'd like a response :D

i'll also be adding dual core to the opteron section.
as for venice.. jesus, we have too many of them. :p
 
Venice 3200+ E3:

ADA3200DAA4BP

LBBLE 0520BPEW

Ive hit 2.5ghz stable at 1.5v, I can hit 2.6 but itll error out on me in prime after a few hours.

I can hit 2.4ghz with 1.35v however, which is where I stay most of the time.

Oh forgot to add, this is on air, thermaltake venus.
 
Hope its okay to ask here, but as I wait for my CPU/mobo I decided to do some reading... I think I can expect a 146 cabye from monarch that shipped out today so when I figure it all out ill contribute though I see many so it might be unnecssary.

If I have normal ram aka economy stuff I think mushkin 3200 will that severely limit me? (In all honesty I dont know if it can even run at 200mhz because I run at 166 and when I push the cpu up to 185 I bsod... maybe it was a CPU limit who knows)

From what I can see right now, the memory divider is very important in setting the RAM speed in respect to the CPU so ram wouldnt be as big of a deal then hopefully.

The HTT is analogus to FSB overclocking on the SocketA platform except it doesnt actually modify the ram speed. But if the HTT is a multiplier to the FSB how can it not effect performance in the end? I assume that multiplier different from the CPU multiplier?

maybe it will all just make sence when I get it and start tweaking.

I just know my potential limitations out of the box, economical limitations pointed me to an Asrock mobo, so I am limited to almost stock CPU voltages or slightly higher only (aware of mods). The ram I know is econo stuff... not your $150 memory :p and lastly I will not have a clockgen program :( really dissapointed about that because I really like it. So *hopefully* with those limitations I can hit 2.5ghz at 2.5 I will be happy.
