My 1035T has an unlocked mutiplier....

[jacktesterson]

Did you make sure your HyperTransport stayed around 2000?

Never above 2000

 

[Idontcare]

That is a bummer that it turned out your unlocked multi was because of the mobo and not the chip

Hopefully you can recover your performance with some OC tricks...sorry I have none for you with the AMD rig you got.

 

[jacktesterson]

Even the OC Genie on the Motherboard brings it up to exactly 2860 MHz

Seems to be the sticking point.

Well.... How much impact would this have on my system where it was at 3.4 before for 1080p Gaming?

The Athlon X3 in the HTPC... I hear that can O/C up to around 3.8-4.0GHz area... with the possibility of the 4th core unlocking. I've never played around with it as it wasn't needed.

My main system is a gaming system only. Would I benefit from the X3 at higher clock speeds? Or stick with the X6. (I'm assuming stick with the X6)

Rather not buy now until Piledriver comes out since BD ruined my plans a tad.

Ouch man, that sucks.

 

[soccerballtux]

definitely broken. Better return it and get one that works correctly. What stored did you get it from and where? I need to make an unrelated trip there but only after you've returned it.

 

[soccerballtux]

Any suggestions to get a bigger o/c?

give the CPU-NB more volts. This is the L3 cache and is first to go for me when overclocking. I couldn't get the bus past 230mhz on my 720BE and it seemed unstable past 235 on my Ph2 965 but I don't know for certain I gave up and went to multiplier overclocking.

I found that there was a glitch with the memory divider on my motherboard when I was overclocking my Phenom II. What I had to do to alleviate it was to manually set the memory timings when using the divider. Perhaps you should try this as well.

 

[Meaker10]

What about your northbridge multiplier?

Ive got a weird chip. I wish i could find mote info on the revision and weird 109w tpd.

I have spent all day trying to oc this thing past 2860 with failure. Even disabling any 2 cores i couldnt push it further.

Last resort i downloaded amd overdrive... And sure enough...unlocked multi!!

After a hour of playing ive got it set at 3.45ghz and it passed 2 hours of occt which is a good sign.

Now oddly when i restart the bios stilk shows a locked multi...but when windows boots overdrive auto sets it back for me...


What the hell is going on with this cpu? Ive never seen anything so odd in 15 years.


Excuse typos on my cell.

 

[soccerballtux]

3.45ghz that's it??? shoot for 4

 

[jacktesterson]

3.45ghz that's it??? shoot for 4

Im just happy to have it back at this level. Was stable all night.

Ill push it further today see what happens.

Still a very weird chip

 

[Grooveriding]

Came from Toronto area.

AMD has a big office just north of Toronto in Thornhill. They mostly do GPU work there tough, but maybe you got a chip from an employee

 

[jacktesterson]

I got it up to 3.6 GHz.

Happy here. No need for any faster.

Very pleased as I was so close to buying a 960T or 1190T just to get a higher clockspeed.

I had ordered a FX-8120 but am not accepting delivery, Newegg is aware. Its not worth the cost over my O/C'd 1035T




I think I must have an engineering sample chip of some sort because I can't find anyone else with a 1035T that will unlock in certain situations/boards.

can't wait to see how far I can take this chip. Any advice?

you should be able to hit 4ghz at 1.45v no problem. Just plug the numbers in and play.

Then next up is to overclock the CPU-NB frequency to about 2.4-2.6ghz. After that you're set.

I seem to have to add all kinds of juice after 3.6 to get higher.

Right now I'm running on Hour #3 of OCCT at 3.6GHz only on 1.375v and temps are well under where they need to be.....

I like he idea of staying at this voltage. I had to bump it up all the way to 1.46 just to get Windows to load at 3.8 GHz. 4.0 I'm sure would be more.

As in before....3.6 seems to be the magic area, which is a full 1 GHz overclock over the stock 2.6 GHz. I'm happy.

 

[Maximilian]

Maybe its an unlocked zosma? If thats possible...

No unlocking features are on

oh...that's strange...I thought all the 6 core parts could do better than that. Sorry to hear. 3.6ghz sounds good then. I have a similar wall past 4ghz. Can't take it 4.1ghz no matter the voltage....

 

[jacktesterson]

so I parted out my Office Desktop and kept parts to upgrade my TV gamer, which I use mostly anyways. A little overkill for HTPC and 768p Gaming, but I threw the chip back into the Gigabyte MICROATX 880g motherboard... and boom, full unlocked multi in the bios.

Set to 20x200, upped Voltage to 1.475, reboot. Bam.... 1035T @ 4.0GHz

Passed 4 hours of OCCT. When I get time I'll work on getting the voltage down.

Anyways, Click her to see CPU-Z Validation

Oddly enough, CPU-Z reads as a 1035T on the 990FX board, but as a 1030T on the 880G board.
