how much do you guys think i could overclock this amd 64 4000+ AM2.



My specs are on the side<<<

i'd be happy with about 2.8ghz.

What you guys think?

Thanks

linderman

2.8 should be easy provided the rest of your rig is overclocking friendly


please give us full system specs to discuss further


you can use everest home edition (free) and paste the system summary if you dont know all the parts / please include powersupply brand and size

PSU detail in system info<<<

this PSU is working great, voltages are spot on, when idle and when gaming

and cpu temps:

cpu temp idle 28-31C

mobo temp idle 30C bang on

overclocking pushes a power supply hard, but going to 2.8ghz shouldnt tip you over.

I wouldnt advise you go any higher than that with a winpower psu


enjoy

T23GUY

OK thanks, il let you know how it goes.

T23GUY

hello, its doing fine at 2.8, thanks for your advice, however about the hypertransport thingy, when i set it at 4x to allow over clock, its now at 848mhz not the full 1000mhz, does this impact performance or is there a way to get it perfect at 1000mhz while overclocked?

Cheers

HawMan

Im guessing your increasing the FSB to OC?


When i change the multiplier the HT stays at 1000mhz and i get 3.2Ghz.

However when increasing the FSB i need to change my HT to 600Mhz, Then with my increased FSB it sits at around 700Mhz - Any higher and my PC wont post.

T23GUY

oh ok, so i guess i have to live with a lower HT if OCing by fsb. because i cant change multiplier with my mobo hmm..

linderman

youre correct about the HTT setting unfortunately they have have 1/2 HTT settings

try running one number higher and see what happens / you can go a squeak over 1,000 withouth stability problems but not very far over

T23GUY

if i do raise it back to 5x. Itl be 60 over. If you consider that a squeek lol.

Thanks

HawMan

Try it out and see if it works.


I cant Boot with my HT over 700mhz when at 3ghz for some strange reason lol

linderman

I doubt 1060 is gonna work you can try it; but i would expect crashes

4X is probably gonna be your best bet

T23GUY

yeh, i thought its best jus stay at 860 rather than 60 over 1000, just to prevent any problems, thanks for your help anyway guys

Find a benchmarking utility for memory to find out if how low you can go with the hyper-transport before it becomes a bottleneck. BTW, I have an Athlon 64 939 that can run at 2.8 Ghz. It should be about the same chip. Strangely, it does not run as fast if the temps are below 40 Celcius.

I don't know your board, but keep in mind that every chip has an optimal voltage and temperature range that it likes to run at.

Just make sure that PSU is ok! When in doubt get a heavy duty unit. A good one will last decades

I know this is an old thread but the information seemed very valid to what I am trying to acheive.

I have recently overclocked my CPU (just happens to be the same Motherboard and the same CPU) but I have just increased the CPU frequency from 200 to 230 on the 13x multipler which gives near enough 3Ghz.

I have noticed the discussions on the HT not running much over 1000Mhz, although mine seems to be running without any issues at 1150Mhz.

Is there any issues running it this fast if it works on the PC / OS??? I know the Power supply is up to providing enough power to run it in this way.

I have run a benchmark and it seems to have made a significant improvement and on par for CPU performance with an Althon X2 4000+ (Dual core!)

Thanks very much

Ian

no harm will come from running your HTT over 1000 / instability & crashes is usually the result when exceeding the HTT value of 1000 by much

remember a system is not to be considered "stable" unless you can run OCCT <<free download for at least two hours without a system crash or overheating

just booting into windows and being able to run applications is not to be considered "stable"
