2800 @ 2.49

[zmgraphix]

Hey guys,
I am running my 2800+ at 2.49 and I'm running around 33 degrees idle, and stock voltage, you guys think I should change the voltage, or something?

 

[eViL_M@LuM]

is it stable? Will it pass prime 95 testing? 3dgaming tests?

 

[zmgraphix]

it passed prime95, for about an hour then i stopped it.

LOL. To be prime stable you need atleast 24hrs. I've found errors after an 1 hr of testing before. Stress tests are supposed to take longer than 1 hr. Hell you play games longer than that.

if you've got that thing at 2.49ghz at only 33c and stock voltage, give it hell! feed it some more voltage and see how far you can take it, but beware when you get into the 50c range.

btw... what type of cooling are you using?

comparing playing games and prime95....................
Startup 3DMARKxx and prime95 same time

*do set the priority to prime95 to "Higher"

 

[eViL_M@LuM]

50C wont hurt your cpu, their death is above 70C I believe it's 85C is there max heat. I've had errors in prime after 18hrs of running it, so a 1 hour test isn't sufficient. But nice oc for stock voltage. Any screenshots?

I'll add some voltage today, and run prime95 all day to make everyone happy and myself

continue to OC!!!
why did u stop??
u know how to do it, up FSB and if unstable...up Vcore
do this until u either hit 60C idle or 1.85Volts, whatever comes first

Why not higher volts? Why stop at 60? I'm being serious, I want to know.

Because 60 is pretty hot. And in general, people say that 1.85V is where you should stop with aircooling. More voltage=more heat output=high high temps with aircooling. You can try going higher, all that will happen is your PC will become unstable and crash. It's very unlikely that you'll damage the processor by excessive temperatures before it simply locks up or crashes.

I'll keep you guys updated, and I am using air cooling

I'm pushing 1.9vcore and am still at 32C idle.. Don't tell me that just because you're on air cooling means you can't have a high vcore..

Well that's why I said "in general". I don't know or care really because I watercool. You must have a pretty good heatsink though, what kind?

thats hard to believe.. or else your gonna be deaf very soon

idle temp isnt a good judge of how good your cooling is btw, go by load temps

same here, except i'm at 1.95vcore and about 42C idle

z u fix that boot problem yet seems like u did ?

I can post SS if you'd like, when I get back to school (im on spring break right now).. My cooling is an SP97 with a 92mm tornado.. I don't go deaf because I wear my Bose Triports while I game..

I am running my 2600-m at 209x12=2508 at 1.7v. It runs prime and 3dmark fine. I am going to up the fsb next. Idle temp is 31-32C and load temp is 39C. These mobile chips are amazing.

 

[eViL_M@LuM]

32C Idle @ 1.9V is very possible. I did it with an SLK-900A with a TT smartfan. Accept I was running 2V for 3 months and never went above 42C load temps. If you have plenty of air flow in your case then you will be able to hold descent aircooling temps.
