Well ive got it, and wanted to make a complete comparison. same board, same ram, same video card, same everything except for processor


This is a direct comparison between the Amd athlon 64 x2 4400+ @ 2.932ghz
And the amd Phenom II 720 be @ 2.932ghz for the most accurate comparison.

Amd athlon 64 x2 4400+ @ 2.932ghz:

Cpu Verification

Gpu verification



Amd Phenom II 720 be @ 2.932ghz:

Cpu Verification

Gpu verification



Let me know if there is anything else i should use to test. I will be back with more results shortly.

Try to go for 3.2ghz and check stability with Prime95/OCCT to get a 3dmark score over 20,000
Congrats on the new cpu. I to have it as I went from a 7750 Kuma DC. This is the best AMD cpu I have ever owned for the overclocking potential. This is my current cpuid.

Push it higher my man. Good luck......

Thats ^^ as high as i can get it, i think it might be my mobo (not am2+). But i found it odd that it didnt like 17x multi so i might try skipping it and try 18x or somthing, later. but would like to enjoy my 3.6ghz goodness.
It looks like you're having similar success that I was when I was doing the same type of thing. I hit a max stable OC of 3.6GHz, but I also think that it could be my mobo holding me back.

You actually did something very similar to what I did when I got my 720. You can check out the results I got HERE, and try out some of the benchies that I have listed there as well.

Congrats man, and good luck on the OC.
what were your cpu voltages like at 3.6? i got mine today and immediately jumped it up to 17x multi, i'm now going to work up the fsb to get to 3.6 or maybe 3.8 hopefully.
3.6 crashed, testing 3.5 now. =(

Logan your thread is one of the main reasons i choose this proc

Thanks man, I'm glad that it was useful to you


Try increasing your NB and HT voltages. Those seemed to help me out a bit with my OC. Although I really do think that both of us are being held back by our boards.

I needed 1.55v to hit 3.6GHz, but that is relatively high for this speed. Most people with a newer AMD board have been hitting 3.7-4GHz with those same voltages. I cant confirm that my board is the problem atm, but thats the general consensus.

Cheers!

My god im getting a M2N-SLI.
You will get higher with better 790gx mobos

Yup
My quad will do 3.4 @ 1.35 3.6 at 1.4v and 3.7 @ 1.425
As far as I'm willing to push it for now

Try 3DMark06 as well as Crysis

Cant get 3dmark06 to run in win 7, and i dont own crysis. I am going to add vantage.

Im stress testing 3.5ghz, cause 3.6 didnt last.

I looked at it and naturally thought it was '06 and was instantly sad that I only got 18,484.

I am not sure about your board but from what I have been reading, people seem to have more luck by just increasing the multi instead of the referance clock. It also helps to increase NB frequency, to stabilize this CPU. I have had very good luck with my cpu and I am currently being conservetive and I am @3.6 prime stable with [email protected](Cpu [email protected],475v and NB VID +0.150v ) . I also found out that stability with 64bit vista is a lot harder than 32bit Vista. I hope it helps, good luck.
