The AMD Phenom II OC'ers Club

[Spartan805]

Would you mind showing a couple Benchmarks? Like with Cinebench11.5 or 3Dmark11. (just to make me happy if nothing else)

Just playing games and messing around, its very difficult to tell major differences between chips. But benchmarks can tell you if its really any faster or not.

Edit: also, did you overclock em at all?

The 4100 I got to 5.0GHz the 6100 was a weak chip, 4.0GHz Stable.


Here is a benchy on the FX-4100

The 6100 i got a 5.01....... I sure hope PILEDRIVER IS BETTER!

? huh ?

I don't know if you're familiar with either of those, but they're fairly well known among overclockers. Cinebench is a good one, because you can do a CPU test and it renders a 3D image; then your CPU is scored, and you can compare that score to others. If its higher than other 6 core rigs, then its a faster CPU.

Here is SuperPI, it calculates PI and then you compare the amount of time it takes to others. My 1090T at 4200Mhz takes 16.4 sec.

Also, if you Overclock it you will get a better score. I don't know if you've done any Overclocking before.

Edit: You do seem to be familiar with OC'ing.

That score is odd. I get 7.42. Although, with mATX ASUS mobo I only got 5.3 I think. Also, 75 is pretty toasty, especially since those temp sensors are usually 10c off.



Edit: Hey, I have a question about RAM. Can you have 8gigs of 1333, and 8gigs of 1600?

What CPU did you get that score with? That is "BAUS"!

 

[Irony]

1090T. I'll show you a screenie. lemme run cinebench

 

[Athlon2K15]

yeah id say 75c is too hot when 62c has always been max with AMD cpu's

 

[Irony]

I've got a screenie attached of my score. Its 7.38, but you can see my earlier score of 7.42

Edit: @Athlon, I think the max temps on BD was raised to 80. But still, with the temp sensors being off, and AMD being notorious because of their love of cold, thats a bit too hot.



Hey, does anyone know if you can run 8gigs of 1333 with 8gigs of 1600? Cause I'm gonna get some 1600 today, but I wanted to know if it would run with my 1333, or if I should just take the 1333 out.

 

[eidairaman1]

Ur board has a memory divider preset but wen u drop in ur 1600 alongside the 1333 u best set all timings n voltage to the slower ram in order to avoid stability issue.

 

[Spartan805]

See, here is the 960T on X6 @ 3.0GHz

I got lucky mine unlocked to a HEXA! Phenom II FTW!


Just ran it again @ 4.0GHz and all I got was a 6.61...

 

[HUSKIE]

got some problems here.

look at the pictures

they are not the same..

 

[Spartan805]

This is a Phenom II club....... but FX cpus down clock themselves to save power. disable all power saving features\ in bios and see if that helps. CHECK THIS OUT for help with BD(FX)

But I should still be able to run the 1600 at 1600?

If it doesn't work, I'll just run 8gigs of 1600

That sounds about right, I guess. I'm attributing it to the mobo. Mine was an 880G as well that gave me bad results. Not that your board is bad, just saying that you will probably have better results with a 990FX.

I think your right about the MB....... this is my HTPC, so it will do.

 

[Irony]

Thats great you got it to unlock; I like your av. too

 

[Spartan805]

@Irony Thanks!


As far as your RAM if you mix ram it will clock to slower ram speeds. Nature of the beast, just runt the 1600. you don't need 16GB of ram, I think?!?!?!? I don't at least!!!!

 

[ChaoticAtmosphere]

Love your Av??? Stalker.

 

[Irony]

Love your Av??? Stalker.

No love. Gaytard.

I merely stated it was interesting; Spartan mythology is intriguing..

I know what you meant!

 

[Irony]

See? Spartan understood. It had nothing to do with the speedo.

Moving on....With my BIOS updated I can run 4Ghz on lower voltages than before. Like 1.375 I think. But 4.2 still sucks 1.512v.



(How'd you like my change of subject? It was like, seamless...)

That was smooth like gameplay on BFBC2 with my 960T and HD4250

Gaytard? I tried to look it up in the dictionary and couldn't find it.

Don't feel bad, it's okay to love avatars. But back to the topic of overclocking Phenom II's. You can pm peeps about how you love their av's.

 

[Irony]

I'm thinking about upgrading to a 6970. Its kindof between that, and a transformer prime.

 

[JrRacinFan]

What games you play Irony?

 

[Spartan805]

You'll be over the tablet in a week, get the GPU man!!! Its tedious to surf the web on those things. Ipad needs FIREFOX.

 

[Irony]

Mainly skyrim. I also play assasins creed and just about anything that has a good 3rd person.

 

[JrRacinFan]

Get a 2nd 6770 & a 2nd hand tablet. Live best of both worlds.
