I wonder if we can bring some platform records to South Africa

[Oj0]

I'm going to get back into LN2 in the near future (yes, I'll stop using Vaseline...) and have some hardware that I think shows a bit of potential.

1. Socket AM2

Frequency
I have an Athlon X2 6000+ that managed 4,144.57 MHz - at one stage it was the record for AM2 but things have changed and it is now 3rd for the 6000+ and 16th for AM2. I did my run using DICE and the chip hasn't been tested any colder. If it doesn't cold bug too soon, my first goal is 4,235 MHz to take first place for the 6000+, and then 4,299 MHz to take the AM2 record back.

PiFast
Using the same 6000+ I'm currently at 32.130s for PiFast, which is 6th for the 6000+ and 13th for AM2. The kicker is that I was at only 3,901 MHz with the RAM at a very low 487 MHz 4-4-4-17 2T. The record is 30.190s with a 6000+ at 3,962 MHz (only 61 MHz faster) and the RAM at 566 MHz 4-4-4-11 2T. I find it likely that my RAM can bench at around 560 MHz 3-3-3-9 2T.

SuperPi 1M
Here I've got a really sucky score of 21.780s with that same 6000+ at 3,965 MHz, which is 6th for the 6000+ and 31st for AM2. The RAM was at a low 496 MHz 4-4-4-12 2T, just tightening the timings to 3-3-3-9 should get me a much faster run. The 6000+ record is 20.781s and the AM2 record is 20.220s. I'm not very confident about this one as the record is at 4,092 MHz, but at the same time I know full well I didn't even try to tweak that run. I also know for absolute sure that the CPU can bench SuperPi 1M at over 4 GHz - that run is slower than the 3,965 MHz run as I did it with a single stick of memory which seeing what the CPU can do.

SuperPi 32M
I never really tried here. I know I can run the bench at 3,937 MHz (which resulted in a very poor time of 21m56.157/URL] - using single channel memory at a slow 487 MHz 4-4-4-17 so there's close to a minute that can be shaven off right there) - the only reason for that run was to see where it can 32M on phase change. With LN2 or DICE I can go higher, the problem here was the duration of the benchmark meant the CPU was going into the positive temperatures. Better cooling will probably put my frequency at a minimum of 3,080 MHz, which is around the speed I'll need to hit top three for AM2 (there are two monstrous 6400+ chips that did 32M at 4,080 MHz, I have severe doubts about catching them).

wPrime 32M
I can't believe I haven't even tried this yet. Someone else used my CPU to get [URL="http://hwbot.org/submission/615551_team_ghetto_wprime___32m_athlon_64_x2_6000_(windsor)_21sec_670ms"]21.670s, which is 11th place for the 6000+ and 65th for AM2. It was done at 3,901 MHz, 19.484s has been done at 3,928 MHz, and I KNOW I can bench it higher than 3,901 MHz as the person that used by CPU never even saw 4 GHz while I managed to bench higher than that. It's a maybe in my eyes.

wPrime 1024M
This chip has never done a wP1024, so /shrug

2. Socket 939

Frequency
This is a tall order I have an FX-55 that validated 3,619.49 MHz, which was 3rd for the FX-55 at the time although it is now 4th for the San Diego FX-55 core, 5th for overall FX-55, and 31st for Socket 939. First, I used under 2v and only -45'c while I have the option of up to 2.108v and I know this CPU doesn't have a cold bug, so -196'c. I had validations of over 3,960 MHz but they were corrupt Anyway, 4,000 MHz will be the first milestone (only 16 people have ever hit it), then 4,076 MHz for the San Diego FX-55 record, then 4,123 MHz for the FX-55 record, and finally 4,209 MHz for the overall Socket 939 record. I have very little confidence for this xD

PiFast
I have only run at around 3.1 GHz. I have RAM that can bench 300 MHz 2-2-2-5 which is a big advantage.

SuperPi 1M
Don't judge me, I have nothing saved for SuperPi on this CPU.

SuperPi 32M
Don't judge me, I have nothing saved for SuperPi on this CPU.

wPrime 32M
Currently I'm at 50.468s at 3,385 MHz using phase change cooling and single channel RAM (which is fine) which puts me at 7th position for the FX-55 and and don't even ask about Socket 939 as I can't compete with dual core CPUs. The FX-55 record is 40.062s at 3,815 MHz. I have a bit of faith.

wPrime 1024M
Right now I'm at 27m56.140s at 3,306 MHz using phase change cooling and single channel RAM (fine) which puts me 6th for the FX-55. Again, I can't compete with dual core CPUs so I'm looking at the single core Socket 939 record, which is 22m29.593s at 3,609 MHz. I have a bit of faith.

3. LGA775

I have no plans other than to hit 7 GHz (or even better, 8 GHz).

[Oj0]

Celeron D 356 - eight samples past 8 GHz and 58 past 7 GHz

Celeron D 347 - six samples past 8 GHz and 76 past 7 GHz

Celeron D 352 - ten samples past 8 GHz and 87 past 7 GHz

Pentium D 631 - three samples past 8 GHz and

Pentium D 915 - there is one sample on HWBOT that past 7 GHz, topping out at 7,242 MHz. No reason this can't be the second sample

 

[ScorpioMan]

i have another D915 you can pop if you want lol

 

[Oj0]

I mentioned dual core Socket 939 CPUs having the wPrime records. I doubt these will come anywhere close, but they can try.

Opteron 170

Opteron 175

I have an Athlon64 3700+ which is currently 23rd place for its class with 3,446.7 MHz using phase change cooling, 1st place is 3,871 MHz

I also have a neat Athlon64 3500+ but I can't remember what it can do xD

And a Socket 754 Athlon64 3500+ which has been lapped - at 2,897.25 MHz it's 13th for its class, first place is 3,604.8 MHz

Of course, Socket 754 needs a different motherboard which is where the DFI LanPart UT NF3 250Gb comes in

 

[Oj0]

i have another D915 you can pop if you want lol

That will depend on the price

Seeing as we're going old, may as well include Socket 462 as well.

AthlonXP 2400+

AthlonXP 2500+ - this one did 2,541,95 MHz on air cooling

AthlonXP 3000+ (bottom left) and AthlonXP 2800+ (bottom right)

Left to right, top to bottom - AthlonXP 2600+, AthlonXP 2600+, AthlonXP 2700+, AthlonXP 3000+, AthlonXP 2500+

AthlonXP 2500+ - Or was it this one that did 2542 MHz, I can't remember

This will once again require different motherboards, which is where 1x volt modded and 1x stock Abit NF7-S motherboard comes in

 

[Oj0]

Finally, this is nothing without RAM.

Kingston DDR400 and Mushkin DDR433

I can already hear you saying "WTF man, they're not even matched" but that's where you're wrong - they use Winbond BH-5 and these two modules were hand picked by me to do SuperPi 1M at 302 MHz 2-2-2-5 1T with a bit of cold.

Team Xtreem DDR2, did 600 MHz 3-3-3-9 at 3.375v and under dry ice

Maybe we'll go even older, the Gigabyte GA-6OXET was one of the better choices for Socket 370 with the best sample on HWBOT getting over 224 MHz with an old 100 MHz FSB CPU

Of course, if we're going that old we may need something a bit less painful than an IDE hard drive, so Gigabyte i-RAM it is

Soldering the 3.3v rail directly to the RAM slot is one easy way to get the required voltage, but sometimes you want something easier and with more control - the DDR Booster

All 2D and no 3D isn't all fun, so a half modded GeForce 7600 GS (I really do need to finish the mod...)

And lastly, the GeForce GTX 580 I used to win OCL5K a few years back, it could complete AquaMark3 at over 1,000 MHz

 

[ScorpioMan]

the d915 would have been free just to appreciate the effort in all these but seem to have misplace it , let me know if you could use a d925

 

[VPII]

Oj0 such a pitty you are far away now. I would have been there no questions ask. I was thinking of getting an oc get together going on this side but Ill need some assistance to gather those who will join. Might be a great op to get @Trax in and maybe some other oldies.

I have to ask....what's the point to this ? What do you get out of this ?

I think it takes a real good skill set to understand this and to achieve whay you achieved. Fun is not the word but It takes balls. Well done

I wonder how many record-capable chips sits in old office computers and is gathering dust, forgotten in a garage in the back of someone's grandmother's yard.

Oj0, I'm proud to have you in SA. You're doing some impressive stuff!

 

[souljazk]

Fun.

To further expand on your essay - Besides for the fun factor, it's about not only learning about overclocking & its principles, but also about the set of h/w you'r currently OC'ing.

For those unfamiliar with manual Oc'ing, each CPU architecture, chipset, model, even each batch will have a different max OC under different cooling solutions. Like GPU's, no 2 are the same. The almost infinite variables makes it like a lucky packet

Then factor in that you can add / change cap's, mosfets, VRM's , hardmod for extra volt's it really can become a fascinating playground!

 

[souljazk]

Seeing that 580, makes me miss my 570. Got 1Ghz stable in every game @ Ultra/1080p, no issues in firestrike or that rolling hill benchmark.

I see someone from Sa made the Firestrike HOF. Couln't find the U/n though, Ojo is that you?

Sure can - there are two that have done 7 GHz, maybe this can be number three

Thanks for reminding me to recap the DFI before trying. I must also mod the second Abit NF7-S and the 7600 GS.

[Schnubab]

It really is a tough one to explain, but for the people that do understand it, this is addictively fun.

A good quest this is Oj0 and one that I hope we can do a number of.

 

[R3D_ZA]

Gona have to do an inventory of what i have left. Should have three or so Cedarmil CPU's around and More 1366 Xeons that i know what to do with. Feeling the need again. a little. a lot.

If only i had a EVGA Classified SR2 to play with....

I still remember those Team Xtreem. really enjoyed overclocking them. were capable of any clock I put in with some good cooling. back in days bought from paul @ prophecy shop

I don't remember where I bought these, it's not impossible they came from you maybe on SystemShock or PH?
