Athlon 750k Overclocking Thread

Who has one?

What are your voltages, temps? What Heatsink are you using?

How far can you push your O/C on the stock heatsink? (if applicable)

Not a lot of info on the net on this cheap Quad Core

haha nobody here with a 750k / 760k ?

I have one . Running 101x42 with 1.45V for Vcore, DDR3 1600 Cas9 , on asrock fm2 a75pro4. OCing done with old AM2(!) cooler OCZ Vendetta2 . I use 6870 1GB card with it. It runs BF4 flawlessly which happens to be the most demanding game I run on the machine

We are pretty much running identical rigs and specs. (other than motherboard/cooler - I just built mine so went with a FM2+ mobo). I'm running at 1.425v @ 100x42 with a 1GB 6870 too. I'm using a stock cooler from a FX-8350.

Plan to keep this rig for a while. I sold my bigger machine as I find I use consoles more often than PC nowadays. Used the money to buy a PS4. I was able to get the 6870 for $70!

You got it cheaper(GFX) since you recently bought it , good deal . The card is not capable of mega fps in demanding titles but does the job well. I wonder when we will see APUs with at least this level of performance.

PS4 for games is probably best thing you did. It will be stable platform, no tweaking necessary. Plug and play, literally .
750K is an awesome value for the money. I got great ST performance at this clock, it doesn't draw much power/generate much heat and it has adequate multi thread/multi task performance for my needs. It's like a perfect part for my build. Oh and it costs 65 bucks .

The thing I don't get is why nobody is delidding those processor, they aren't soldered.

I've found only one report on a japanese website (can't find the link anymore) where they claimed that it was really hard since there are a lot of components near the IHS border on the cpu package, there were thermal advantages but they didn't do any serious overclocking.

Even if the classic delidding proves too hard one could just sand away (or dremel!) the top of the IHS and mount the heatsink directly on the die.

I'd sacrifice my a6 3500 but since it's a llano the IHS is soldered.

Those cpu would clock much closer to AM3 cpus (or even better since they lack L3 cache) than they currently do and are so cheap that you can really screw up once... or twice.
