My System. :)

okay, so playing around some more with it, I seem to have it kind of stable at 4.8GHz. Well, stable enough to run 3d mark 11. :)

Anyway, should I try and bump it up to 5GHz (48*106), or 4.9GHz (47*106), or just leave it put and try for a 48 hour run of Prime95 to be sure everything is stable.

Also, if I bump the RAM up to 1866, which would be 1970MHz I think, would I see any benefit at all? Or should I leave it and try 1.55V and be done with it?

i'd just run prime for a while and try doing what you'll use it for for a while and see what the temps are maxing at under your load before going further, but you should be safe for 5 i'd think as long as you aren't holding 80C for hours on end.
 
What with the sad face in your thread title, I thought your computer died :P
 
Actually right now all it is doing is folding and gaming. Well gaming actually, as I have forgotten to load FAH. We got a computer at work to use now, so I don't have to do CAD on it anymore. :( sad time.

I am running stock for a bit right now, as I got mad at it because it froze up. Not a BSOD, but it actually just froze. I will reset it in a minute. I think I am running out of power for it though. Ill figure it out more in a bit.
 
Because it will OC the RAM ever so much more. And the multiplier does not do everything. once you hit 49 on this board it stops booting at all. Even POST test fails. And that is all the way up to 1.55V (just to rule out a lack of voltage). So on multiplier only I am limited to 4.9GHz. Which is not enough as far as I am concerned. with 106FSB (the top on this chip) I can get 5196MHz which is more in the range of expectations. Not saying that I can get that, just saying that is more of what I should be able to max out at with this chip. (does this make any sense?)
 
Yeah, but you increase the instability massively doing that.

I would loook at the motherboard cooling and voltages and keep the blk at 100.
 
with the system at 106 and 40 (4.2GHz) it is 48 hours p95 stable. I am 99.999% sure the FSB is stable. Voltages for higher OCs are what I am looking at right now. A better air cooler would also be in order, once I find a setting I can say for sure is stable that is.

Yep, my mobo has his limit on 47. But I can perfectly get it to 4.8ghz stable. Also 4.9 is no problem, but after that it doesn't boot, even changing the fsb. The temperature isn't the problem for me btw. At 4.8ghz I got a stable 71 stressed.
 
Not good enough. I should be able to do better. Even being that this is a low binned chip that needs ungodly volts to maintain any speed at all (1.250V @ 4.0GHz), but will maintain a higher FAB with plain normal volts (1.150V*37 was stable there).

Anyway, I can not keep that speed for a daily use because I really do not want to break 1.500V at all and it was not stable at 1.475V. Doubt it would be stable at 1.5 either. And no way that the lack luster cooling of the 212EVO can keep up at that voltage. It barely keeps up at stock. :(
 
I think I am going to leave it at 4.2GHz @ 1.295V as it seems to be stable at that voltage. running 40*106 for 4.2GHz. Don't like the temps, hitting 78* on most cores under load. But that comes with OC on any chip. Just got to get better cooling to fix that.
