Socket 754 Overclocking Limits?

[D U R A N D A L]

Hi I'm new to these forums (but not new to overclocking.. www.ocforums.com).

Perhaps there are a few people on here with Socket 754 setups with extreme cooling/water cooling.

I'm wondering how far these processors can go? I can't seem to get any faster than the one I have below. How are others experiences?
Please share.

Check sig...

Been to 2.9GHz, couldn't break 3.0GHz though. All on air...

With my old 3400+ mobile clawhammer I got similar results but with more volts, also on air.

The secret for S754 is the mobile chips.

the newarks seem pretty nice...I have a clawhammer at work...3200+ won't go past 2.4GHz stably on air for me.

I've got an 3000+ NewCastle, not the very best but it isn't that bad as your
2730mhz PiFast on room temp water
I did also an PiFast on 2700mhz with Zalman cnps7000b-cu

Α64 3200+ 754 socket Vcore=1.744 custom watercooled 2550MHz stable for video encoding and Maths.
It is not good stepping as you can understand.
Only in winter ran at 2595MHz but temps are near to zero..

check avatar, i can go higher though, trust me

[xenolith]

Check my sig.

Newark is the cream of the crop for s754.

[Korpse]

as for mobo's u want a dfi ut nf3 250gb, ive ran mine at 340 and briefly but stably at 380 (believe me or not) htt

Newark is the cream of the crop for s754.

Ain't that the truth.

[Borgschulze]

My CPU is 1.6ghz stock and I run it at 2.2ghz with only stock voltage. I'm sure I can go MUCH higher.

[mr_gibs]

i used to have a 3000+ a64 from 2004, it was c0 stepping, thus it became unstable at 2.5ghz @ 1.9v the new ones go much higher and run cooler tho

[WeakSauce]

Here's mine. It is a 3400+ newcastle 0432. It will bench at 2.75 but not stable at all. At 2.695 it is 48 hour prime stable.

[Skyline GT-R]

WeakSauce, what is your complete stepping? I also have a 3400+ NewCastle 0432 BUT It's not stable when I pass the 2.55GHz. And it seems to not like my TCCD's Samsung TCCC runs great, TCCD doesn't Cooling: Zalman CNPS 7000B Cu

[twilius_basic]

I've had 3 s754 CPU's go through my hands, two 3700+ Clawhammers and one 3700+ Newark.
The first Claw sucked, only did a little over 2.6ghz 3D-benchable on air.
The second Claw was great, did mid-2.8ghz 3D-benchable on air, I had it to 3.2ghz 3D under dry ice.
This current Newark is good too, 3D on air in mid-2.8ghz range (with lots less volts than Clawhammer) and 3D under dry ice at 3.3ghz

Skyline, I'm sorry I don't know. I am too lazy to pull the hs off and I never wrote it down when I got it. All I looked at was the week which is 0432. Download CBID and look at what version yours is. If it's a version .6 or 2.6 they will clock higher. If it's a .5 or 2.5 will clock lower than the .6 and 2.6. Here's a ss of mine in CBID.

[i found nemo]

2.4ghz for now, need better cooling than stock for higher

[Skyline GT-R]

Thx WeakSauce, gonna check that tomorrow, then i've got my mobo back out of RMA (it was gone for 6 weeks :s)

[ozzimark]

Ain't that the truth.

it is indeed:

^^ air cooled

http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=23871 <-- just for kicks cause i love my mobo. stock chipset heatsink too

[Skyline GT-R]

Dammit, I do have 0.5 version

[WeakSauce]

Dammit, I do have 0.5 version

Sorry to hear that Skyline. They started making the .6 version at week 0432 but looks like you were unlucky.

[high5]

damn. mine is also 0.5... but its 0435, is it possible?

[setyotomo]

this is my 754 2800+
stepping : caa2c 0505 FPMW
cooling : D.I
