Sorry for the necro of this old thread but I see no one answered your question.
I don't have a standard display, so this may not be a straight up answer either. I'm running a 3440x1440p. It's a curved UltraWide 1440p IPS panel with 5ms latency.
The rig has 2 GTX 980s water cooled and...
Initially before doing any of the graphics benchmarks and applying the CPU OC I ran IBT @ Very High for 10 passes.
3DMark, Furmark, Heaven, OCCT were all run after the GPU OC was applied.
After that I ran the following for 1 hour each with the voltage I posted before:
- AIDA 64 with...
After playing Wolfenstein since my I fist posted this I really need to edit it. It finally crashed.
It passed everything I threw at it synthetic benchmark and stress test wise up to BCLK 229 and did gaming up to BLCK 210, but I won't deal with a crash every couple of hours. So back to 4.0 on...
I added some North/South bridge cooling and it just keeps going! No throttling in IBT or LinX, all lines consistent.
I was able to settle on a nice round number of 210 BCLK with the Auto multiplier settings so using x20 for hexacore and x23 for most games.
IMPORTANT detail that I should note...
You're welcome! I personally had mine up a couple of notches above 1.41 when I was over 5.0 GHz with a 229 BCLK. This was for a few days so I was concerned and came across a handful of posts with people saying that they run their X5650 at 1.41 24.7. One claimed to have had his up for 2 years. It...
Well if its working you might not want to mess with it because you know what they say about if it's not broken?
Considering you might introduce new issues or specifically challenges to research; a BIOS update might give you new options as far as settings.
Might be less stable completely. If...
Both. I manually set my Vcore at 1.375 for stable IBT, LinX and AIDA64 testing.
IBT and LinX I set to hit all of the threads and CPU-Z shows x20 when all cores are being burned.
AIDA will go through x20-23.
Games sit pegged at x23.
Have not tried Arma 2 or 3 or Day Z (stand alone...
When I was isolating my max BCLK it was 230 and on the Asus it was all "QPI/DRAM Core Volt" setting.
You might be able to drop this with the lower 204 BCLK which might drop your temps a bit. Not sure what it is called on your board. Some boards call this the VTT. I'm sure google will help you...
My temps were up with a higher BCLK too.
I mainly game on this so I went with some settings that allowed the turbo multiplier x23.
BCLK of 205 with the right options in the BIOS allows me to put on speed step and turbo with all the c states enabled.
In wondows 7 it's easy to lock the...
I was lucky since I had a 930 in this MB. It literally cost me the eBay price and the Kraken x61, which is really overkill considering everything around the CPU is roasting long before I hit 80C on any core.
Might be worth pulling the north and south bridge heatsinks on these boards and...
Seems the throttling might actually be what I was suspecting. My IOH HS and heat pipe connected southbridge HS are always roasting with a high OC.
Today we had -20C (-4F) outside. So I went to work.
I put my box by an open window and the case actually got very cold to the touch. I was...
I have a question regarding IBT and LinX. When I push BCLK with the x23 multiplier, say from 205 to 207, it is completely stable, but GFlops are inconsistent.
I will get 4-5 lines of 81.5+ and all of a sudden one at 65. The next few will be 81.5 again but if I run 50 tests at very high it will...
A buddy of mine checked out the finished build and it seems he has caught the bug too.
I found out he has been looking for a X58 used. CPU's are really not an issue but used boards are a premium.
I'm not sure of the model but we have people trying to get $400 for used ones locally...
Do...
Thanks for the welcome! 100% agree, this CPU is a lot of fun for under $100.
Nothing fancy on my end. I have an Asus P6T with 12 GB of 1600 in it.
Update on the second high BCLK overclock. 100% stable, but I had to push PCIe frequency to 104 to get it booting and stable. I went as far as 105...
Tried a different method to dial in my BCLK and was able to use the x20 multiplier.
4.575 GHz on all cores, so far IBT and memory tests are all clean.
IBT: 94.5 GFlops (average)
Max temp @ 76.
I turned HT off for this try. Dropped core temps by 10 degrees and gained 10 GFlops in IBT...
Hi everyone! First post for me. Thanks for taking the time to post all the great info.
After reading the forums here and this thread in particular I decided to snag 5650 off eBay for $92 Canadian all in.
I put a Kraken x61 on it and after a few weeks of tweaking I am blow away with this CPU...
