Athlon 64 3500+ OC?

[Ackbar]

Since the discussions on the forum has led me to believe that the 3000+ (90 nm) seems to be the best overclocker (percentagewise) compared to the 3200+ (90 nm), I was curious if the 3500+ (90 nm)overclocks well or not at all compared to the other ones.

If you have a 3500+ (90 nm), please post your speeds in explicit detail (ie. FSB*multi) and the method of cooling used. Maybe we can get a better idea about which can overclock the best percentagewise compared to stock clock speed (3000+ or 3200+ or 3500+).

I run 225 x 11 (2.475 w/ 1.450 vcore) mem(2.8volts) @ 1:1 DDR 450 2.5-3-3-6 HTT x4 and Prime95 stable (idle=35C load=43-47C) >< I RAN 285 x 9 (2.565 w/ 1.50vcore) mem(2.8volts) @ 166 2.5-4-4-10 HTT x3 for weeks (idle=38C load=48-50C), but those settings would fail Prime within the hour. I'm on air with low cfm/dba Silenx fans &amp; Swiftech mx6400 HSF. My sys is inaudible. With some high CFM fans I feel I could achieve better oc's although my A8V is NOT the best oc'er.

The highest stable oc I can manage is 250x10 @1.475V. That is with 4xHTT and 2-2-2-10 timings. I have to use a divider to achieve that as my mobo doesn't like my ram too much. Cooling method is in my sig.

2.65 baby

 

[Ackbar]

Where are all the people with 2.7 GHz on air that I've heard about? BTW- could you guys include purchase dates on your CPUs since some people believe that earlier chips may not have the same headroom as the later produced chips.

 

[Sparky19692]

best prime stable 2.607 1.525V 237X11 mem 1:1 2-3-2-5 35c-47c (ruffly on temp I didn't write it down)TCCD Got to love it!
3dMark03 looping stable 2.706 1.6V 246X11 mem 1:1 2.5-3-3-6 38c-52c if I remember
Right now I'm not O/C why? I am checking max Ram spped and timing figuring out what it can do. Once I'm done with thatI'll move on and start O/C again. I'm sure that I can hit 2.7 stable it will just take a little time.
Stock HSF Stock thermo paste Purchased 11-28-04 Retail Price $272.00 ZZF. I missed a number on the CPU before I installed it but believe it is week 44
I also Think that JBDan is right A8V is not the best O/Cer out there but I think that they all have there Probloms.
On the upside the 3500+ .09nm just Hauls at stock.

 

[FrustratedUser]

Room mate is running his at 2.6. IIRC HTT=233 or something. 54C @ full load w/ stock cooling.

Purchase date was around Nov 10 2004 and YES sparky it does "Haul" at stock! 😉

I purchased in early december. Ram is at 2-2-2-5 timings

Geez how do all you get these low timings? My pc kerplunks after 220 x 11 mem 1:1 2-3-2-6. I can only run 2-2-2-5 at 210FSB @ 1:1 or lower. Dang! I have the same RAM as Spark

Ask them at what speed they are running it 😉

lol yea i guess i shoulda done that 🙂

I got mine in late October. Just reached 2607 last night and it's been stable so far. Here's my settings:
HT Frequency: 4x
CPU Ratio: 11
CPU FSB: 237
CPU VID: 1.500
CPU Voltage: Over VID 5.0%
Memory Voltage: 2.65V
DRAM Memclock: 166MHz
Timings: 3-4-4-10-1T

I'm happy with this overclock for now since it's FX55 speed. My next step is to get it stable at lower voltages and to see if I can get the memory timings any tighter.

What mobo are you on?

hey guys,
i have newcastle 3500+, someone give me some tips on OC

[Mrvile]

I don't remember my highest OC, but my best (in terms of voltage to OC) is 2.625 @ ~1.5v.

250fsb x 10.5, HTT @ 4x
Memory set to 1:1, 2.85v, 2.5-3-3-8

I run my 3500+ at 260 x 10 (2.6 w/ 1.470 vcore) mem(2.7volts) @ 1:1 2.5-3-3-6 HTT x4

idle temp is 32-35C and load temp is 42-48C

WInchester 3500
HTT: 250
CPU multi: 10

RAM: 1:1 2-2-2-8 @3.4 volts going to push for 260 in a few days, it is still burning in.
VCore: 1.5 + 5.5% (CPUZ says 1.55 volts)

I will be shooting for 2.6 but I think i will set up water cooling first.

29C idle 42-52C load.

show me a screen shot of that

Not a 90nm, but 10 x 250 > 2500mhz > 1.6 Volts (yes, little high)..mem 1 : 1

cooling, Zalman 7700Cu , one big cooler lol..weighs 980 grams

Ram/mb can handle much more but the cpu can't =(
