AMD Zosma 960T/1600T/1605T CPU Club - Page 164

Well I live in the Caribbean and room temp are on average 32C so its pretty hot here, that's why my cpu temps are so high.

sage101, you could run K10Stat or something similar. I usually lock mine to 2ghz @ 0.880v for doing basic tasks with no issues what so ever. When I need the extra speed, I'll just lock it to 4.125ghz.

The CPU temp never goes about 30c @ 0.880v and its still actually pretty quick. It works wonders if you don't have AC or don't like a very hot room.

Here are some screen shots of my temps wen running prime95 as an X4

CPU temp as an X6

considering the amount of ambient temp, i think you have a very good chip.

now, do you mind sharing some awesome sceneries of your country?

Seems my memory is what is holding me back. Buying some of this. Going to underclock it but it has a high stock DRAM frequency so I can get a 1:4 FSB to DRAM. Higher stable FSB means less multipliers, less voltage, and less heat. Will update after I find a stable build.

you have these things on your mosfets?

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 960T (X5 1605T)
24/7 OC: X4 4000Mhz @ 1.475Vcore
Max OC: X5 4000Mhz @ 1,5375Vcore
Unlockable: only X5



Nice Chip, but the problem is that the even not passive cooled mosfets of the Asus M4A87TD/USB3 are running a bit hot under full load.
So it begins throttling to lowest P-state after 10 - 15 min of full load by using prime95, even as X4 @ 4Ghz if it is a warm day (25°C+ room temp).
But its not that big surprise, since they are build to deliver 140 Watt of power to the Cpu and i have measured a bit more than 180+ Watt token from the Cpu @ that Vcore by 4Ghz and full load under prime 95. BTW anything less then that Vcore of 1,475V sooner or later gets unstable by means of freezes or BSoD and stuff like this.

But its not that great problem, because I never had a game that brings that baby to full load @ that clock speed for more than a few seconds, so actually there is no problem at all,...lol.

She runs hottest with this settings on Crysis 2 by 50° - 52°C, @ 26° room - temp!!!

On the other hand, there is no need to OC @ 4Ghz for games in generally FPS increase by only 2 - 5 FPS!!! (it chances nothing at all)

But for encoding wav to mp3 with lame (for example) it goes exactly 33.33% Faster by means of 90% more energy using (@1.475V) so u guys have to choose if its worth it or not!!!

In my opinion for that it would be more efficient running her @ stock speed and Vcore undervolted (mine does it @ X5 with 1.2 V core by using K10stat) but as X5 or X6, since lame uses all available cores and encodes 1 song per core @ the same time.
