Well damn. Fairly certain I have 4.5ghz stable will be back in a few lol. Can we get a screen shot of your ram timings as well? I've noticed that has an effect on cinebench.
timings where all the same 10-10-10-27. However, on the 4.5Ghz score, i only did a overclock bumping up the cpu ratio, to 22.5, ram was at 1600mhz. I was not able to get it higher then 4.5 with this method.
The 4.8 ghz overclock i did totaly diffrent, i did use the cpu bus ratio overclock, bumped that setting up from 200 to 240, and manualy set the cpu voltage to 1.45V. This all resulted in a 4.8ghz oc and a ram oc from 1600 to 1926mhz.
MY target is to push it even furter, but its to hot at the moment in the Netherlands, its 33c outside, and 37 inside. atm.
You try to tighten timings on ram with highest oc yet? If you haven't messed with those yet I will warn you. Stress testing ram takes some time if you don't want unexpected bsods lol.
link to screen shot, http://puu.sh/9iYya/d23ee57369.jpg I guess I could crop it but sometimes that makes things look too tiny.
If I had a motherboard that actually allowed for overclocking, then I would join in on this. Unfortunately, I require a socket 775 motherboard that supports the DDR3 RAM that I've already got and can overclock the locked-mulitplier Q6600 that I've got.
Happens in most software, which is why everybody wants cpu-z up. Might be able to hit 4.6 but I keep having to raise vccsa in order to maintain ram speeds. CPU voltage is already at 1.25 vccsa is at .998 and RAM is at 1.66.
Not sure how amd handles ram but I always noticed an increase even with my non k when playing with ram. I also spend more time messing with clocks just for ram then most are willing to do. Most of the standard timings even for xmp are crap in my opinion.
Temps are already in the high 50's during Cinebench run. I'm only using a Noctua NH-U14s, single fan config. I haven't tried to run 4.8 since taking off my Kraken X60 (I have AIO-phobia now). I'll try grabbing a second fan this morning to see if it can handle 4.8.
You think it's that bad if the temps get up to 61C during a Cinebench run? Or is it really only going to hurt running that hot for long periods? I'm so paranoid with temps...
yeah i will try messing arround with the ram timings, to see if this increases anything.
At the moment im back at stock speeds lol :( just tried 5.0Ghz, and ram at 2000mhz , but my board pooped out on me, lol. Booted allmost to windows but then my screen went black lol. wasn´t even able to get into the bios anymore haha
my cpu jumped to 54 degrees during cinebench run at 4.8ghz. I got a Phanteks PH-TC14pe, but its tropical warm in the Netherlands atm.
During a cinebench run i dont think it will realy hurt, that 62 temp mark is still with a safe margin. for a cinbench run i dont think it can do any harm.
But for long periods of time, i would tune it back abit.
