Hey guys, I finally reached my goal. I got 2000MHz on my ram stable in Prime 95 (finally). It involved a few tweaks, in regards to blowing a fan directly on the IC’s and loosening the tRCD to 10, however the rest of the timings remain the same much like in my 32m stable run. [...]

Hey guys. I managed to hit another 32m stable result, and was able to lower the tRAS back to 15. 32m stable means that this ram speed is stable for almost any benchmark and most daily computing. However it is not 100% until it has passed at least 3 hours of blend on Prime 95. [...]

Introduction Over the recent months I have watched and observed as the Phenom II CPU found its niche within various enthusiast communities and online forums. Users have been provided with an excellent, all around, 45nm AMD quadcore. However, there is one factor that people still find confusing and unclear. Overclocking the Phenom II. Why are [...]

Hey guys, I did some further testing at 2000MHz ram speeds. I discovered that my settings for my 1m Super Pi run were not entirely stable for 32m testing. So I revised a few sub-timings and was successfully able to run 32m. This involved loosening the tRC and tRAS. Keep in mind that this run [...]

Hey everyone As you may know, the release of the new AMD Phenom II X6 chips, combined with their new 890FX chipset platforms bring a lot of changes to the table. Due to changes in chip electronics, they have massive overclocking headroom, not just for the cores but also for the IMC (northbridge frequency). The [...]

My two part series about overclocking with subzero winter air. I will be adding on to this next winter. Part 1 Back for my most recent blog post after a prolonged break from the OC scene, I bring to you some fun winter air testing. I used the same setup as previously. This mainly consists [...]

Today I got pretty bored. I’ve been wanting to put my 1090T under dry ice for quite some time now. However, my bench partner has been busy with work so I [...]

Hey guys, I recently won a small time benchmarking competition on OCN. Had tonnes of fun. You can check out the competition thread here. I managed to pull off all my scores a few days before the deadline. I used my regular setup, but through it in the windowsill for some cooler air intake. Here [...]

Finally, at last. The Canadian winter has helped settle my challenge to break 16 seconds on SuperPi 1M. Using the same chip and hardware as before, here is the result: A little Cinebench while I was at it: I also got a top validation of 4.452GHz. However, I used an outdated version of CPU-Z and [...]

Well guys, made some awesome discoveries. I peeled off the heatspreaders on my ram to find Elpida IC’s glaring back at me. This was awesome, considering Elpida IC’s are failed or not up to standard Elpida Hyper IC’s. This gave me some confidence in pushing them a bit futher. Here’s a ram clock (however not [...]
