AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ with a ZALMAN CNPS9700 LED

[L4nc3]

Hi all,

 

i have a question for all OC-Pros out there.

Do anyone of u know how far i can overclock my amd x2 6400+ with a zalman cnps9700 led?

i tried to overclock it from 3,2ghz to 3,3ghz but it wasnt stable it didnt start 3dmark06 at all...

so do anyone have any ideas how far i can go? thanks for the answers

ps: i'm sorry for my bad english grammar^^

for cpu-z over 4k

for pc mark ca. 3,5k

What VCore did you use? Temperatures?

?

explore link pls

 

maybe u ll find on screenshots temps and vcores

[L4nc3]

Well ok here i made a screenshot cpu-z and core temp on it:

 

 

i set cpu voltage on 1,4v with 16x210Mhz

now the cpu is running on 3360Mhz

but it isnt stable when i run 3dmark06 !!

some time i get a bluescreen or my screen is getting black...

i thought i have a good cpu fan but isnt it enough?

what links are you referring to? none posted in this thread;)

 

i mean go here: http://www.hwbot.org/quickSearch.do?hardwareId=CPU_1458&name=Athlon+64+6400%2B+X2+%28359%29

 

and explore links for best scores where are screenshots

 

for example this:

they do it on liquid nitrogen

CPU-Z not always correct with the vcore and no info on the cooling at all;)

 

if cpu-z is not correct pls remove this benchmark from hwbot ok?

well all i want is to overclock my cpu to its limit..

not to make a world record^^

for me it is enough when i can overclock my cpu up to 3,4ghz or maybe 3,5ghz and get it stable..without bluescreen or windows shutdowns..

Cpu: AMD Athlon X2 6400+

(Idle: Core1/42° Core2/39°)

(Full Load: Core1/56° Core2/52°)

 

Motherboard: Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe

 

Memory: CORSAIR ValueSelect DDR2-RAM KIT 2048 MB, PC2-667 MHz (dual channel)

CORSAIR ValueSelect DDR2-RAM KIT 1024 MB, PC2-667 MHz (dual channel)

 

Room temperature...erm..i think between 20°-25°

U Just used 1,280VCore Play a bit with it Have a look on the temps and then you can go on 1,4VCore or higher. Should help you to reach a higher clock

[L4nc3]

ah no^^ i really use 1,4VCore. i set it in the Bios but i dont know why cpuz shows 1,280VCore -.-

ah no^^ i really use 1,4VCore. i set it in the Bios but i dont know why cpuz shows 1,280VCore -.-

 

i already tried to reach its limit by myself. i was also able to overclock it to 3,520GHz on 1,565VCore ('cause it wanst able to boot on 1,5VCore)

and it seems to be stable when i just do nothing...

but when i open firefox or something like that i get a bluescreen..

even when i want to do a stresstest with prime95 it only takes 5sec to get a bluescreen ...

[jurek]

maybe his bios is inacurate otherwise i have question why use inacurate program as a benchmark?

i would check what your RAM is capable of...

 

Memtest86+, FTW!

It could be that you have a bad board with a bad cpu and that you cant go higher.

You must set dram frequency at 533 or 400 in the BIOS. Then you may increase Ht frequency. To my mind you ought to beat 3.4-3.5GHz.Your CPU clock by default is nearby technological limit (for air cooling), so it can't be clocked to great
