Does the FX 4100 suffer the same issue as the 81** series CPUs?

What issue are you talking about

IT was so cold, eventually the batteries in the keyboard froze, and I got stuck in BIOS. Next time I go to the PC store, I'm buying a backup keyboard.

Now I'm eagerly awaiting another cold snap.

This is hows its done people.

Ok not working as expected. Ipc not being equal or better than phenom 2

WOW!! you still use CRT monitor!!!! :roll:

hmm LCD freezes (because its Liquid?

FX4100 has the same core logic and IPC as FX8xxx but with less cores.

so it still suffers a performance hit the 8 series does n makes the ph11 the chip to stick with

My ambient case temperature was less than 0 degrees so I done this.

Daimus · Feb 10, 2012

Excellent points! You increased the voltage?
-30 outside, and tomorrow will try to OC.

Yeah cpu voltage was 1.55 in windows ( Probably very high in bios :laugh:

)

I think it's -6 outside at the moment, my case was probably not quite that cool as it was still in my house, just on the window ledge with window open :laugh:

If it's minus 30 where you are tomorrow I expect crazy numbers!

Daimus · Feb 11, 2012

I need better cooling. Cores overheating and there's nothing I can do this, despite the fact that outside of -15 Celsius. :banghead:

cadaveca · Feb 11, 2012

wow 69c in -15? are you using heatpipe cooler? They freeze and become kinda useless, eh? Which is why i used the stock ALU block cooler.

I had like -30, still had a 140mm fan blowing on the VRMs, too.

You're absolutely right, my cooler with six heatpipes completely useless at this temperature.
It is unclear why the core is much hotter cover ...
Anyway, I need a different cooling system.

cadaveca · Feb 12, 2012

Yeah, heatpipes are not good for sub-zero air.

It is useless as more than likely fliud in the heatpipe became frozen, and made the heatpipe itself useless. At that point, it could only rely on copper of the heatpipe for thermal movement, and there is not enough copper mass to be effective moving large amounts of heat(proly 200W+).

Decent ones shouldn't freeze as they should have acetone or ethanol in them ( or other things that evaporate easily)

That's not to say they don't stop working though :laugh:

Just evaporation becomes more difficult past certain points!

I'm surprised his didn't work at -15 actually, should still work at that sort of temperature. ( There were a couple of fluids that still worked at that temperature I think, I once came accross a website with a load of data about the various fluids used in heat pipes and their effective temperature ranges min and max. Will try and find it again it's a interesting read)

This talks a bit about it. The first pic is helpful in explaining, I didn't understand the purpose of the fluid before. It acts a a phase change medium, kindof like non powered air conditioning.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pipe

This has some working temps of possible fluids. (its an old writeup, talks about 500mhz systems! its still accurate about fluids tho...)

pantherx12 · Feb 13, 2012

Thanks for the links!

Seems I wasn't quite right

Decided to finally over clock my ram today, made gave me a nice lil bump in cinebench so my speeds before must of been bottle necking my cpu somewhat.

tilldeath · Feb 14, 2012

deleted.

cadaveca · Mar 3, 2012

Quick and dirty OC, dunno if I even put enough paste on the chip yet(I ran out), and no ram clocking yet:

Once I get some more time, I'll see if I can't get a bit more out of it.

Thanks, W1zzard(ram), mjkmike(cpu), TheLaughingMan(cooler) and TheMailMan78(board), for helping me get this rig together!

Daimus · Mar 3, 2012

4.6 GHz at default voltage, just perfect! Expect to continue!

cadaveca · Mar 3, 2012

Nah, volts were 1.45 V. Bit of a boost to other things as well, but not much .01v

mjkmike · Mar 3, 2012

Changed my mind Dave. I would love the red button for that chip. :laugh:

cadaveca · Mar 3, 2012

mjkmike · Mar 3, 2012

I haven't done it yet, but I know a few that put a H50 rad in ice cold water. Sounds like fun.

cadaveca · Mar 3, 2012

Good idea. I think i'll get some dry ice soon too.
