primed stable for 16 hours before I got fedup with waiting to use it. I could probably push it higher with more voltage, but probably won't try it til i build my custome WC setup.
guys please, read the first post. i need more than just a speed.
if you don't have the stepping/week, that's fine, i'll make a section for everyone who doesn't have both of those
(by stepping week, i mean 0451APEW, i don't need the first 5 as much)
the only one i don't have right now is highlife, but i guess since i've got nothing to do, i'll put together the new pic and post it. give me about 5 min and check back
edit: i think i'll just update it once a day. before i go to bed or something. if there's nobody to update.. i'll bump it to get more people to post
i bought a week 5 2005 athlon 64 3000+ but i dont have a motherboard for it yet....
byy the looks of it the CBBBID 2005 athlons dont overclock for shit
My max overclock right now is 9x250 (2295 mhz) vcore @ 1.5, 1:1 ratio with TCCD memory from mushkin.
I can prime small ffts at 260fsb, but for some reason firefox always crashes and CS source runs for only a while. Frankly, I am disappointed, was hoping for a 2.5ghz overclock, but the system won't run stable past 260fsb, any suggestions as to improving my OC? My temps seem pretty high too, 48C load.
I think my memory might be holding me back, but I tried a 166mhz divider and my PC decided to quit, and it won't boot into windows anymore, even at stock settings and after clearing the CMOS.
first.. lurch: are you sure your ram isn't holding you back? did you try a ram divider and try to get the cpu a little faster? (make sure you drop the ht multi to 3x if you make it past 250mhz)
dmonkey.. that's not too bad for a week 2 chip, however it is interesting that you couldn't boot after switching to 166mhz. even after clearing the bios. are you sure you didn't touch anything else?
not sure how to enable ram divider. i have tried looking at all bios settings, didnt see anything referring to a ram divider. only thing close is where i can set the max mem speed. actually, i dont remember seeing anything to set bus speed in bios either. i got to this oc using the nTune utility included in the mobo software
didnt see your link for how ram dividers work sorry
i'm glad i could help out. i'll update that pic for you now
however, this winchester oc database is going to lose interest from everyone soon. i'll keep it around, but soon there will be rev. E.. and it should own the winchester.
so, a new database will be made for those, and link this thread from there so if it falls off the front page, it's still easy to find
edit: dmonkey, i just noticed. nice speed bump over what you had before
I personaly doo not like what stands in first post. It's like gimme date and STFU about You and Your problems. It might be ment complitly different but still it feels so.
BTW I've took bad pics of My core so I can't give that data, but it's 3000+ winnie and does moderate 2350 MHz stable in Shuttle XPC SN95G5 cooled with ICE and powered with stock 240 watt PSU. Memory is Corsair or CMX 3500+ LL or TWINX1024 C2. Both aren't so great ( they aren't TCCD or BH-5 memory modules)
Easy to cool.
I gues with lower memory divider and more core voltage and better memory it would goo much higher. Or with other full size mobo with good PSU.
In My expiriance memory, PSU and mainboard mean more in overclocking Winchester then Week of a CPU or even a cooling. Many firends use stock cooler and hit on air mostly 2500+ MHz.
I think non of a Winchester cores are less then 3500+ capable just AMD locked them to up to have solution for cheeper CPUs. Hence any Winchester will hit 2400+ with good mainboard, memory and PSU.
i can see where you're coming from, but i think this database is proving that week doesn't really matter, just good old fashioned oc'ing skill.
i'm sorry if the first post comes across in a way you don't like, i tried to clearly state what i wanted for the database to eliminate confusion and posts that were meaningless. however, a result of that is a nice compilation of data.
as for the "gimme date and STFU about You and Your problems", that is not the case at all. i'm more that willing to help out if you're having problems with your winchester, or almost anything else for that matter. call it free tech support. it's what i'm here for, even though often i am of no help at all. if you're the type that doesn't like to ask for help.. well sugarsnaps
i hope that clears up some misunderstanding about the intentions of this thread.
If anyone wants to know, I can get my chip to 2600mhz @ 1.66 volts (288x9) now, but it BSODs during games although it runs SuperPi and Prime fine. I think the voltages on my board are limiting me, 1.6 is the max on my Neo4 Platinum because the voltage is always 0.05 under the set voltage.
I get around 40 degrees celsius idle at 1.66 volts, which is the highest my Neo 4 can handle. When under load, it goes up to 48 degrees celsius under Prime 95 small FFT's and SuperPI, but for some reason when I do the "Blend" test in Prime95, my temps go down?!! I do have 120mm fans sucking on the area around the heat sink though, if that would make any difference.
If you're looking into buying a heatsink, I highly recommend the XP-90.
Thanks dmonkey, yeh i'm definetly looking at getting one now to try get some more out of my chip. I'm a bit apprehensive to try for more with the stock cooler. The chip I have seems to want to go for more because its doing 2600mhz on stock volts stable, boots into windows at 2700mhz stock volts too but i'm not sure how stable it is. My mem is holding me back though for sure. The mem is at 217mhz 3-3-3-8.
Wow, thats an awesome chip, what stepping is it? You should have quite a bit of headroom if you can run 2600mhz stable at stock voltage. Thats amazing! If you get the XP-90, you might be looking at 2800mhz!
whats the dealio eclipse don't want to post my oc? I put all the info in my post. Maybe my A64 isn't good enough for you? Its prime stable at 2.61ghz, but will run windows and game all the way to 2.75ghz. I don't have the money to risk running it over 1.72volts, so I can only theorize that maybe it would go 2.8 with the right amount of voltage. It runs very cool, so it seems like their might be more headroom, but I'm no rocket surgeon.
