Calantak means, that by OC'ing, he will end up with speed of FX55 ...

I set the multiplier to 13.5 (2700) with the voltage at the default, and the system hung and then I couldn't get it back. Boy, this was a bummer. I had to reset the Cmos which involved removing my video and sound card, the battery, then the jumper for 5 seconds. After that, I used Clockgen. I was using the version for the K8V because I didn't see one for the A8V. It wouldn't let me set the voltage above 1.55, so I set the voltage in the bios, and then made a bunch of ghost files to set the multiplier.

2700 @ 1.7v, BFG @ 450/1100 = 4600

Weird, that's less than the score running at 2600. I've never figured out why this happens, but it does.

In the morning I woke up and took it to the top, the voices in my head kept saying, "Do it, Do it."

2800 @ 1.8v BFG @ 450/1100 = System Shutdown on the 2nd to last test (slow boat). I waited a minute and rebooted, it came back to life, "wheeeeew."

2800 @ 1.725v or 1.750v = Crash in 1st test, even with relaxed memory timings of 3448.

I think the 3.0 record score is safe. I came close to 2800, but no cigar.

Yeah, yeah, you're right. This is probably the record.

Still, 3.0 in a case is a nice score. It just stands out more because it's something most OCers could do if they had the money. Whereas the WR score is done on a test bench and they guy did some extreme mods most would not do.

I have one more thing I can try tonight, and that's 2T timings. I had it disabled thru all those tests.

performance will go down horribly and your oc may not be all that much more

Yup, don't try the 2T thingie ;).

And what is wrong with xtremesystems?

I keep getting the main page of the forum??

take a closer look at his link, it's br0ke

:wow:

wow I thought 3.6 gig was the highest fx oc atm, guess I was wrong :)

imagine that running 24/7; Intel and AMD can keep their dualcores :)
