Overclocking Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4400+ -

Considering buying one of these....what is the overclocking potential of this cpu and what core does it use....? My current system is detailed below: |
2.5-2.7GHz with air cooling, there's no set number. you might get lucky
and go stable higher but temps will get up there and you'd probably need
a better cooling solution.
it also depends on your motherboard... which is...?
the core, well it ships in different versions that have different
stepping, don't ask me which is best for OCing 'cause i have no clue. it
uses a 110W toledo core (i'm getting the 4200+ which is manchester, only
89W, less power = less heat). before paying extra for the cache make
sure your apps will actually use it, some games will have a small
performance advantage with cache, but thats about it.

I have a 4200+, so far I've only tried a 200MHz OC (218x11) at it's default vcore of 1.35V, running two copies of Prime95 (1 per core) for about 4 hours the cpu hit 54C using the stock heatpipe heatsink, no errors. I've never had an AMD chip OC 200MHz without having to raise the vcore and this is like my 14th AMD chip in last 10 years. |
want to
will your ram do it at 1:1...?i'll have the thermalright SI-120 so hopefully i'll have an edge with
cooling... but probably not by much, i want to stay on air and 2.6 would
be just awesome... i guess i would be happy with 2.5 though :/

I've never had an AMD chip OC 200MHz without having to raise the vcore and this is like my 14th AMD chip in last 10 years. cool - anything under 55C load is good. take it to 2.6, you know you want to will your ram do it at 1:1...?Right now I have 4 sticks in it, 2x512 Crucial Ballistix PC4000 2x256 Corsair XMS PC3200 If I go past 218 I'd probably have to either lower the ram speed to 333 or take out the Corsair sticks. I'd like to try 2.6GHz, I just haven't found time to play and test it yet, and I'm not even sure what the A8N-E can do out of the box. i'll have the thermalright SI-120 so hopefully i'll have an edge with cooling... but probably not by much, i want to stay on air and 2.6 would be just awesome... i guess i would be happy with 2.5 though :/ I just started looking at heatsinks, I may get the Thermaltake CL-P0114 (120mm Cooling Fan, 6 Heatpipes), supposed to install on Asus A8N's without having to remove the board out of the case, I really don't feel like re-building it, I already built/re-built 5 PCs last month, sort of tired of doing that!

I'm using thermal fans with sensors on the video card so my case only has really good air flow when gaming,so I may have to change that, but the CPU only peeks at about 45C during games. Does anyone know the average OC for the Asus A8N-E? Thanks, Kimmy |

But it's just a bit c**tish to expect people to do the arithmetic (mental or
otherwise) because one is too much of a dork to state it oneself.

Sorry, LOL, but I already said it was a 200MHz OC, and I don't really see the point in the CPU MHz, all that really matters is what you can OC it over the defaults. |

AMD Athlon 64-X2 4200+ 200 x 11 = 2200 (default CPU setting) 218 x 11 = 2398 (1st overclocking try @ 1.35V) peace, kimmy |

What good is stating the o/c, if you don't state the default ?
