The Golden 0550UPMW (170) - 3GHZ OC

3000... 1.5volts

Still a ways to go for stability, but definitly 3000 by 1.525

That's pretty sweet
Nice overclock!

 

[Elfear]

Very nice. What cooling are you using?

 

[keeleysam]

Is this on air?

 

[compgeek89]

H2O

Just did all night stable (7hrs) @ 3013, 1.525v

I only got 2.5Ghz out my opty 165! ****** cpu that I have. :|

 

[compgeek89]

I paid $475 for this CPU though, quite a premium. They guy had already tested it @ 2.9/1.4v on air. Still nice to have 3ghz+ 24/7

Now try dual large FFT tests and see how it does.

 

[compgeek89]

My RAM is @ 200mhz, I dont think there's an issue there.

 

[compgeek89]

Alright, 30min w/large FFT thus far.

 

[TrevorRC]

Very nice.

Small FFTs are all that's needed for CPU stability.

Nice work!

Apparently I need large FFTs on this CPU for some reason, but its going alright, 334x9 = 3010 / 215mhz on RAM has been stable for over an hour at custom 1024-4096 FFTs

If you can run the default Large FFT tests with Max heat for more than 12 hours, that would be some serious ocing.

:beer:

 

[svsnow]

are u sure thats 1.52v??? in cpuz it says 1.56... generally cpuz reports .05 lower than wut its actually set to...
did u actually set the voltage to 1.52 in bios and test it with a MM?
if not thats still good overclock on 1.6v

 

[compgeek89]

its definitly set @ 1.525

 

[malvare1]

what motherboard are you using ussually cpuz undervolts your motherboard readings, and the last pic show 1.56v you might want to look again as i've never seen a bios that is set to 1.52v and cpuz reads 1.56v. either way nice overclock.

 

[compgeek89]

eVGA SLI NF41

2997mhz is definitly 100% stable, did 2 loops of prime 1024k-4096k FFT.

Trying 3004 now.

 

[g0dMAn]

Wow... 3ghz stable on a 170... NICE!

 

[nothingbutrich]

wets pants

 

[compgeek89]

I'll sell it for $550

Haha, but yea thanks guys.

 

[firewolfsm]

If it can run 2.9 at 1.4V (versus 3 at 1.525), you should probably run that, 100MHz won't even make much of a difference to benchmarks let alone performance. it will run cooler and live longer.

 

[compgeek89]

Not much cooler, And with my water it'll live plenty long @ 1.525, unless, like I said, someone wans to buy it.

 

[firewolfsm]

Not heat, voltage in and of itself reduces life a lot.

Yes, I know, but when temps are in check the effect is lessened. Besides, have you ever personally tested the decrease in lifespan. people are running 1.6v 24/7 wthout issue on water.
