you should be able to hit 4.8 easily enough with the BCLK at multi at 1.25 and and x39.. i know the BCLK can go up to x2.5 but depends on hardware.. what will yours allow? also what a the BCLK milti steps?

Yeah, I am going to try for higher once I get some different fans. I have one 140MM on my heat sink right now, so I hit 77c at 4.5.

Mine will allow BLCK up to 300.

Looking forward to seeing them.

This chip OC's much easier than I expected. I settled for 4.3GHz so I can keep the power saving stuff working for 24/7. It stops working once you cross the 100 BCLK.

thanks for the info +rep

though it would be intesting if you could use a BCLK of 300 and the stock multi of x36 and hit 10.5GHz

could this be done on Ln or will it fry the Bus

Allows it in the bios, but doesn't mean it has a chance of booting.

Loss of the power saving features when changing the BCLK over 100

The Board I got coming is the R4F

Ahh Ok
Anyway ive been giving it 1.3v and its been stable there a couple days so I may try dropping it again and see how it holds. It don't get too thirsty till I hit the 4.5GHz ballpark then it needs 1.35v

Mine will be here thursday. I ordered it yesterday and paid for 2 day shipping but tigerdirect dropped the ball and got it shipped out late.

nickbaldwin86 · Feb 28, 2012

What cooling anyone? temps and clocks? I have been looking at this chip but waiting for newegg to drop the stupid combo stuff.

I am in no rush and don't really know what board I want but I know I don't want any of the ones in those combos

Maximuscr31 · Feb 28, 2012

Tiger doesn't require a combo fwiw. Also newegg has a combo with every motherboard they sell with the 3820. I just didn't go through them because of 9.75% in taxes.
