hougtimo Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Hi,I recently OC'd my Athlon64 3200+ from 2.0GHz to 2.5GHz. Now what I want to know is : What AMD model is the 2.5GHz rating equal to?thanksHougTimo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 well the 4000 san diego's stock speed is 2.4ghz... nice overclock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerwin Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 3700+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hougtimo Posted May 28, 2006 Author Share Posted May 28, 2006 well the 4000 san diego's stock speed is 2.4ghz... nice overclockThanks - it will go further, but if i goto 2.6Ghz it hits the upper end of 39'C So, I'll, justs tick with it where it is i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 is it stable tho? using prime95? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scubar Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 (edited) it will be around 3700+ performance, its the 512k cache that lets the chip down compared to the higher end chips. 39'C is an acceptable heat for the chip, you could just put a nice zalman or arctic freezer HS/Fan and that should lower the temp down to aroun 34'C Edited May 28, 2006 by ScubaSteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XP_2600 Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Take care of your cooling system besure its handle that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hougtimo Posted May 28, 2006 Author Share Posted May 28, 2006 is it stable tho? using prime95?Yes, ran several cpu-stress tests over 24 hours. max temp was 39'C and rock solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Che0ps Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 (edited) What tests ?..and what fsb is your ram on ?.. and is it 1:1 ?..Try using SuperPI to test the 1M, and see how many sek it takes mine takes it in 36,xx sek @ 2,4 ( Realy Bad Stepping )do you know your stepping ? if so tjek on Xtremesystems how high that are clocking it ps. My 1800+ DLT3C @ 2,6ghz takes it on 40sek Edited May 28, 2006 by Che0ps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripken204 Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 lol, 70C is way too hotis it 40C for your idle temp? if so then whats your load? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hougtimo Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 lol, 70C is way too hotis it 40C for your idle temp? if so then whats your load?No, 40'C is under load (after running the CPU stress software for about 4 hours). I have never had this PC ever go over 35'C before, especially with the cooling system i have in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLXX Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 You still have plenty of room to overclock, it's nowhere near overheating. Keep going up until the frequency limit is reached, it seems temperature will not be much of a concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
